Bowman can still ball

[NotForLong]

Still plays sound fundamental football.

Would really solidify this defense

 

[glimmerman]

Would drain the wallet but I agree.

 

[NotForLong]

add Vita and Earl Thomas and its a wrap

 

[conner01]

He’s still a great player and I’d love to have him but the question is really how much do you pay for a guy playing 30% of the snaps?
Personally I’d pay a pretty good price for the real run support he would bring on early downs
But will the FO pay that price

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Would drain the wallet but I agree.

I don't think so. He has been waiting in free agency for how long? Perhaps he wants more money but teams aren't willing to pay it and that's why he is still in the market.

What do you think it would take to sign him

2 years 6 mil. I heard Jerry offered 2 year 3 mil.

 

[speedkilz88]

Yeah, he's still available because nobody is offering much for him. Would be a real nice pickup if he came here.

 

[NotForLong]

I would give him a 3-4 year deal. He's still in his 20s

He’s a great player but two down LB’s don’t have the value they once did because every team spends so much time in nickle
I believe he made 2 mil last year and I’d do that in a heartbeat

Where did you hear we made an offer
Haven’t seen that

3 million a year..... He should have already been signed

Yes 2 million I would as well. We would be getting Bowman for his run defense. We have guys that could play in coverage. Lee, Thomas, Jaylon and I'm sure we will draft a rookie or 2 with coverage abilities

 

[Jipper]

If he was so good he would be signed by now....hes a known name and that's really all he has going for him now.

I wouldn't hate signing him for a cheap deal but doesn't change the needs for a lb in at least 2 of the top 5 picks

 

[CATCH17]

If they miss their guy in the draft I’m sure we will sign him.

 

[conner01]

I’d give him 3 mil a year
Takes a lot off Lee and gives you someone who can stop the bleeding if Lee misses a couple games
You add a true one tech and him and I’m guess the run defense would be much better

Totally agree with you. Adding Bowman and drafting a guy like Vea, Payne or another DT in the later rounds will really help this defense. Add in the secondary taking another step forward and we have a top 10 defense

 

[xwalker]

Great in base but a player they would likely replace in obvious passing situations.

 

[Alexander]

The fact you posted this twice brings up doubt.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Not sure about this, at all. I've not seen anything credible to suggest we are even interested THIS YEAR. Once he became a free agent, couple tweets suggested we SHOULD be interested coz we lost Hitchen and word is we did in a waiver claim before he was awarded to the Raiders. That's it.......so I seriously doubt we've made an offer. In fact, I think it safe to say we are interested or he would have already been signed.

My guess, if we get hit by injury bug doing the regular season and he's still available, then maybe.

 

[Rayman70]

this dude is better right now,than any LB we have on the roster. Notice I said, "right now?" Because Jaylon may prove to be a beast..or whomever we draft. At this point, its a no brainer to go get Bowman. At least kick the tires.
