Bowman anyone?

Seems like a great opportunity for someone, but unfortunately Cole, Cunningham and McKinney are the bright spots of our non-IR defense at the moment. The first 2 seem to be hitting a stride, and BMac needs to find a way to return to form. Where exactly does Bowman fit in all of that?

 

While I agree we seem to have a good amount of ILBs playing well there is still a chance to upgrade and I'd rather have Bowman then a returning Brian Cushing.

 

Cromartie and Regis are the only 2 players we should be interested in seeing as they are veterans in a position of need for the team.

 

Veteran he is but probably a little too old.

 

We really shouldn't be relying so much on Dylan Cole as a rookie. I know he's got the pedigree but it would be a disservice to this team to not give the best chance to go deep in the playoffs. Bowman has been consistent at pressuring the quarterback since day one, he's good defending the run and he can drop into coverage and light up a tight end to take pressure off the safeties. I know he can do these things cause he's done them for eight years. Cole is a rookie learning on the job. I like Cole, he's going to be a solid player in this league but we all know Cush will be cut when he gets back Bowman would be a great mentor to Cole and Cunningham and an upgrade over Cush on the field. If the price is right Rick needs to sign him before the Raiders realize he fits their team pretty well too

 

Before they surprisingly released linebacker NaVorro Bowman on Friday, the San Francisco 49ers agreed to trade the longtime veteran to the New Orleans Saints for a seventh-round draft pick, league sources told ESPN.

But after agreeing to the trade, the 49ers learned that the veteran linebacker preferred to be a free agent and decide where he would play next. So as a reward for Bowman's service, San Francisco acquiesced and released the linebacker.

Now that Bowman is a free agent, "lots of teams [are] trying to sign" him, according to one source, and it will take "a few days" for him to make a decision.

The 49ers had also spoken with the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers about a trade. The Oakland Raiders also are expected to have some level of interest, according to a source, because they're based nearby and are expected to be a contender.

Bowman was drafted by the 49ers in 2010 and played seven seasons for the team.

Bowman anyone?

 

Lol right

 

If I were Bowman I wouldn't want to join the Texans. It's not fun playing with a terrible secondary and a decimated d-line.

 

Probably going to the raiders anyway..closer home

 

Cole injury obviously changes things. Wonder if we give him a call...

 

Went to the Raiders close thread

 

I'll decide when a thread needs to be closed.

 

Lol sure
