49ers releasing Bowman. Should Cowboys be interested?***Merged***

[DiResta]

Bowman is basically a slightly younger more athletic Sean Lee
i know this will sound homer but i really believe the 2 of them could turn the defense around

not fantastic
but respectable
and that might be enough
wont happen though

 

[xwalker]

He is released so anyone can sign him but have to assume his contract, correct? This year he costs $ 4.64 million since 49ers already paid for the first 5 games. That's not bad if he can still play at level comparable to Hitchens. Then we can renegotiate or cut him at end of season.

Jaylon is NOT ready for full time. 10-20 plays max per game.

No, vested veterans don't go through waivers. Players claimed on waivers come with their contract but vested veterans (before the trade deadline) are just free agents.

 

[bodi]

some team will jump on him doubt it will be Jerry

He is filing for termination pay so SF is on the hook for the whole amount this year...... then DAL or whoever has to pay him just like any other FA......... market value........ his old contract is void

This defense needs to do something. They need more veteran leadership

Before Achilles injury. Not certain about now.

Brad also mentioned that March-Lillard has been battling the same hamstring issues as chido and others on the cowboys.

Do we have a thing for bad hamstring players? Are they like pets and we just have to have a few just laying around?

So why even sign him?

Sure his physical skills have diminished, a knee and an Achilles will do that. But I don't think it is to the point where he just can't play.

He just was not worth the money the 49ers would have owed him in the future, so they made it happen now.

Hold it. You hold it right there. You are crossing into McClay slander territory soon if you keep this up.

 

[xwalker]

I'd give them a 2nd rounder and not think twice.

Nobody even offed them a 7th before they cut him...

i only got to see 1 49er game this year but i admit i was mostly just watching Foster lol
wishing we had drafted him
whats your opinion on Bowman

 

[DiResta]

bet he signs with Packers
Brooks is there plus Rodgers gonna Rodgers

That does not necessarily mean he is washed up. I would hesitate to give them a draft pick and absorb his $8M cap hit and that whale contract.

Odd that it happened now. They gain nothing by releasing him now.

He would be better than Jaylon no doubt.

They should make him an offer.

Edit: In the past if a veteran was released and took his full salary that was owed to him, then anything a new team paid him up to that amount would be subtracted from what the original team owed.; however, in looking at Joe Haden's new contract with the Steelers it appears that is not the case. I need to check on it.

I swear this off season could rank right up there with jerry's late 90s early 2000 ones ..

For some reason they are scared of free agency and it's to the detriment of this franchise. Building through the draft is fine and dandy but you simply MUST compliment it with quality, not bargain bin free agents. Mcclay may be buying into his own hype ..

 

[NeonNinja]

Make that phone call Lee.

 

[stilltheguru88]

Bowman kneels for the anthem. I'll leave it at that

No, I was just referencing that the poster might want to reconsider his trading skills.
