It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I'm not keen of getting Bowe, but I don't know if I will be happy if he signs a deal before free agency. The fewer big name WRs on the market, the more teams will be willing to pony up money for Welker.
That was my concern also. The more bigger name players that re-sign with their teams or get tagged, the higher chance of having someone overpay for one of our own or someone that we'd want.
I would be beyond shocked if Bill Belichick spent big money to acquire Dwayne freaking Bowe, but anything can happen...
it would be a horrible idea to give Bowe a big deal
Why specifically are we excited again?
I just don't get why people would be 'excited' if he didn't come here. Personally I think he would be great with the Patriots but I don't see it happening.

Poor route running
Lousy separation for an "elite" WR
Concentration lapses
Very inconsistent hands
I've seen more INTs charged to QBs because of this guy than, perhaps, any other WR I've ever seen, and I've been watching football since the 70's.
If you're looking for elite separation, then Bowe never was your guy and never will be. He runs a 4.5. His strength has always been his size. He's more Anquan Boldin than Randy Moss, especially now that he's reined in the drops to a large extent.
I'm looking for a guy to be worth what he'll be asking. When I put the whole package together, I don't get Bowe as that guy. A lack of separation would be fine if he fought like like hell for the ball the way Lloyd almost always does.
Bowe doesn't always do that.
Fair enough - it always comes down to the money. Same reason why I'm not down on Lloyd like many people are, since he's signed for extremely reasonable money. Bowe would be a huge asset to the Pats, IMO, but I'd agree that he's not quite an elite receiver, and therefore giving him elite money would be overpaying him. I also thought the Ravens overpaid for Boldin when they signed him, so take that FWIW.
