The five-year contract Dwayne Bowe signed with the Chiefs Tuesday is worth a total of $56M and contains $26M in guarantees.
It's a highly favorable contract for Bowe. He got $15M in a signing bonus, giving him $36M over the first three years of the pact. It's a tick richer than the five-year, $55.555M deal Vincent Jackson got from the Bucs last year and is significantly more than the $36.3M the Saints gave Marques Colston. Bowe's deal also sets the bar high for free agent Mike Wallace. The Dolphins may have to come with something in the neighborhood of $62 million over five years to land Wallace, the best wideout left on the market. Bowe is now the NFL's third highest paid wide receiver, behind only Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald.
