In a radio interview, Kansas City general manager Scott Pioli strongly denied a rumor that the Chiefs talked about trading franchise receiver Dwayne Bowe last week.

I fully expect Bowe to eventually sign his tender or sign an extension by the July deadline and be with the Chiefs this season. The fact that he is not going to the team’s organized team activities is really not that big of deal and common practice.

Pioli’s strong denial is another indication Bowe is in the team’s plans.

• Meanwhile, Jacksonville cut corner back Drew Coleman. He is a veteran who could interest Oakland. The Raiders could use another veteran cornerback.
