Commanders sign Bowen **merged**

[Nirvana]

Makes me wonder if Rob Ryan should have played his cards a little closer to the vest on his high praise for Bowen. I know personally my stock in Bowen went way up on hearing that. Commanders had their ear to the wall on that comment I bet. I forget how that info got leaked out, Rob didn't blurt that out to the media as far as I know, so may not be his fault at all.

I don't know if he was worth 5.5 a year. I know when I heard Canty was signed for that kind of money, I didn't get upset at all as that's too much for Chris. But with Bowen I was really picturing him being a force this season so I'm pissed.

Link it, or it's bull****...

Jerry is learning not to overpay for his own players.. I Don't blame Bowen for taking the money and running..

Yep, Jerry did the right thing, and so did Bowens. That's that.

 

[Stash]

Ted Thompson has no interest in keeping him. Didn't even broach the subject with his agent in the off-season. That tells you how much Green Bay wants him.

Makes you wonder doesn't it?

Green Bay has lots of money to be spent elsewhere and they have drafted at the D-line as well.

I don't see not being able to keep Jenkins as a condemnation of the player.

devastating, just devastating...this is as bad as losing Brandon Noble to them years ago...they're both blocker magnets.

[StanleySpadowski]

Does this make Bowen the new blocker magnet?

******...you beat me to it

 

[Ren]

That's alot of money for a guy who was basically a back up

He wouldn't have been had we resigned him, out of the DEs we lost Bowen was the guy we seemed to want back the most.

Spears might have a shot at coming back now

It's a real twitter source, but I will never trust him after he botched up the Cliff Lee negotiations.

It's a real twitter source, but I will never trust him after he botched up the Lee prediction.

Yeah, I wouldn't put much stock in him. The guy just throws out 'news' nonstop and every now and then something sticks. More often than not he's wrong.

 

[Dale]

Bowen is a nice up and coming player, but that contract would have been impossible to justify matching.

 

[iceberg]

Wow, that's a decent amount of coin for Bowen.

i liked bowen, but not that much.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Wow, that's a decent amount of coin for Bowen.

Yeah, especially considering he has trouble stopping the run.

Agree he's whiffed on other leaks as well.

Ya what I've been hearing. But I've been testing him for a day so far he's been accurate with this free agent frenzy.

I think Spears can be a stud in Ryan's defense. Just saying his upside is higher than Bowens.

 

[Yeagermeister]

******...you beat me to it

 

[TheFinisher]

****, that's a big blow to the defense. Bowen was one of the few players on the team that could get after the QB.

Anytime you're ready to open up the checkbook Jerry.......

:bang2:

He is a complete joke. Hes practically winking.

I think they have to re-sign Spears at this point. But the scary thing is that you know his agent is demanding Bowen money right now. I tell the agent good luck with that and come back when he strikes out with all the other teams in the league on that deal.
