Perhaps Dwayne Bowe was just waiting for the Chiefs to break training camp to finally sign his franchise tender.
The team said in a statement Friday that Bowe had signed after missing the entire offseason program and training camp in St. Joseph, Mo. Bowe is due about $9.5 million this season after the two sides failed to reach a long-term deal by the July 16 deadline.
It was unclear whether Bowe would join Kansas City for its trip to St. Louis for a preseason game Saturday. The team will resume practice at its facility near Arrowhead Stadium next week.

Thoughts?
Talk about an unsuccessful holdout by Dwayne Bowe. Now he's going into the new season with a lot less preparation as the competition, so I don't see him having a spectacular season. I suppose it's better than not playing though. I wish Mike Wallace would go ahead and sign with the Steelers as well.
At the end of the day, I'm sure the Chiefs are glad they'll have this guy for at least one more season.
