LB Navorro Bowman?
 

Can we fit him under our cap?

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

Cap space is at $960,682... I'm sure we could if we really wanted to, but I don't see it happening.

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

With Anzalone most likely done for the season, it surely wouldn't hurt to make a quick call to his agent.

Depth is needed and necessary.

Not a fan, I hope we pass.

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

Bowman is not $12 million dollar worthy, but he can contribute on a team needing LB help. Since the Saints just signed Hodges, and Bowman doesn't want a reserve/rotational role, he won't be coming to New Orleans. If he's not with a team after the season, the Saints absolutely should bring him to camp though.

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

I wanted him 8 years ago when he entered the draft. Now, not so much.

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

Somebody else (hopefully) will overpay.

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

Maybe.

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

Didnt go to Bama have something to do with that

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

Not at all. I could not care less where NFL players went to school.

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

Just curious.i dont want him because the knees. Think he can still play but those knees scare me. Too much risk

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

Then again who woulda thought we would have Manti teo so who knows

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

Did they sign him?

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

dead money
2017 $9,591,500
2018 $4,774,000

whoever signs him will get him cheap and thank the 49ers for paying his contract. Talent is still there I am sure at 29 but boy oh boy the baggage.

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

We are already paying half the free agents in the league that are not on the team. Hell 1 more can't hurt

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

Kick the tires Payton.....make it happen Loomis. :wink:

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

He can still play but it has to be the right D. He no longer fit in their scheme. It is also late in the season so meh...I doubt he gets a call unless out of sheer desperation which is not us.

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

According to Schefter the saints and 9ers agreed to trade for him for a 7th and Bowmann nixed it.

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the 49ers had agreed to trade Bowman to the Saints for a seventh-round pick. Before the trade was completed, however, Schefter reports that the Saints learned Bowman’s preference was to become a free agent and the deal did not move forward.

It’s not clear if that’s because Bowman said he wouldn’t report to New Orleans, but it was apparently enough for the 49ers to shift gears and cut Bowman loose.

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

He was worth what we offered for him.

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

Damn. He doesn’t want to be here I suppose.

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

I think he would have a hard time getting playing time here and he knows it. Besides, Oakland is right over the Bay. He don't have to move or nothing.

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

So his agent has already sounded other teams out then

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

I wonder how many teams are lining up for him?

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

He's a good player but I think he's better for 3-4 and we have other options at LB with Hodges signed especially.

Headed to Oakland:

Oakland Raiders to sign NaVorro Bowman

Re: LB Navorro Bowman?
 

Oakland makes sense.
