LB Bowman Released...signs with Raiders

[dieterbrock]

as mentioned...no need...49ers released him...trade Barron to Williams' Browns D and sign him

Now I’m interested!!
Revenge factor?

 

[dieterbrock]

Yeah, but if you remember, that trade got us the #2 pick in the draft. We drafted some no name RB named Eric Dickerson so we won that trade by far. Wendell Tyler had fumble-itis, Dickerson HOF!!!!

Well, no it didn’t. Rams had the #2 pick overall thanks to their 2-7 season.
I think they got a 2nd rounder for Tyler.

 

[UKram]

Not sure if I want him .... but glad we don’t have to play against him

 

[Relwolf91]

No way Demoff picks him up after overpaying Ogletree

 

[KA210927]

Imagine Barron Bowman and Ogletree all out there on the field. I think wade could dominate with those 3 creatively. Barron and Ogletree have shown pass rush capability. It would be cool to see but ultimately too much $$$ paying three ? players like they’re superstars. Risky unless they got rid of Barron, who they did not pay to play in their current system.

 

[Dodgersrf]

Maybe Donald will take a pay cut, so we can afford him

It's a cool concept. Switch back to more of a 4-3 with Bowman in the middle and Tree and Barron as OLB's.

What some 49ers fans are saying about this turn of events...

NaVorro Bowman is THE MAN!

One of the 49er greats
---------
WTF.
---------
Now hopefully he doesn't go to one of our hated rivals.
--------
Of course fans are going to freak out. We just released one of our most popular players... heart of the defense.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON, AFTER STARTING 0-5.

yeah I'd understand why some would freak out and be pissed.
--------
I gotta think Bowman was unhappy with how things were going, and they wanted to provide an opportunity for him elsewhere.

Love the dude, and I hope he finds success elsewhere and continues to recover from the achilles injury, which is only a year past tearing.
--------
WE NEED TO RIOT!!!

----------
I'm sorry. REALLY. I'm sorry. BUT THIS? THIS IS F***ING RIDICULOUS.
--------
He's a liability in this scheme.

Last week Frank nearly beat him to the edge on a run. He made frank gore look fast.
--------
Yeah the last of the winners. Now we just have losers.
-------
My boy Ray Ray has earned his chance
-------
He has just been too banged up over the last few years. It's not his fault but it's business. He just isn't worth how much we were paying him anymore.
-------
So apparently we were going to owe him $9.5M(roughly)this year. Cutting instead of trading him we ate close to $7M but gave him freedom to choose his next team. And also we lose $5.2M for 2018 whether it was now or before next season. So roughly owe Bow $14.7M and he's not on the team... We should thank Baalke for his well timed extension!!!!

Bow hasn't been acting like a team first guy this year, he's been busy trying to convince everyone he's the same guy who was selected all pro 4 times
---------
Packers or Patriots are my guess.

My apologies, could have sworn we traded Tyler for the #2 pick because Walsh really liked him......in the 2nd round we drafted another could be HOF'er in Henry Ellard and also drafted a stud, mainstay LB before injury in Mike Wilcher. Either way, we win the trade. Tyler was a solid pro RB, fast, elusive but i'd say that either Ellard or Wilcher better served the Rams.

 

[LesBaker]

Wow, I wonder what on Earth happened with him and the 49ers..........hmmmmm.

 

[RamFan503]

Oh HELL yeah! Grab him and if he passes the physical, he will forever hate that bitch of a team. I can see this being his future here:

They'll be OK. They have Ray Ray. :rolllaugh:

Bowman doesn't have the speed for that, and Wade isn't going to a 4-3.

 

[I like Rams]

Can he be ready by Sunday?

 

[Prime Time]

They'll be OK. They have Ray Ray. :rolllaugh:

I was hoping someone would catch that ridiculous remark, lol.

Ellard was the Rams #2 pick. Wilcher from the trade. Hard to say we won the trade, 49ers won the SB the next year after going 3-6 with Tyler rushing for 1200

 

[Adi]

I’m moving Ogletree to OLB to replace Quinn or Barwin. Take your pick.

No way tree can play olb in the 3-4 sets, seems like they have figured out how to contain the outside rush and I wouldn't make any changes

 

[Psycho_X]

Interesting, not sure how he'd fit here. Only off the top of my head thing I can think of that'd work is if we traded Barron to someone and signed Bowman to replace. But Mark Barron's dead money from releasing or trading is astronomical at $20 million last time I looked so that doesn't work. And I don't think Bowman would be a fit at olb'er. Sooooo, don't think signing him would work for us since Barron and Ogeltree's deals have pretty much handcuffed us to them for the foreseeable future.

 

[Ram65]

Love the dude, and I hope he finds success elsewhere and continues to recover from the achilles injury, which is only a year past tearing.

This and other comments indicate Bowman is on the decline big time,. Will be interesting to see if he can regain his speed back. A healthy Bowman was fun to imagine a Ram with Barron and Tree. Signing him is NOT practicle.

Wow, I wonder what on Earth happened with him and the 49ers..........hmmmmm.

ahhhhh, this
WE NEED TO RIOT!!!
