Rumor: Philly signed Adarius Bowman

[hendog]

The Eagles are probably going after him hard just to make sure Dallas doesn't get him.

that and the fact their newest diminutive WR is the only WR they have close to being worth a crap.

 

[AlterEgo]

Yeah, but someone drafted Manningham, who (1) actually had drop problems in college, (2) also has a weed problem, (3) is rail thin, and (4) it is actually confirmed that he is functionally ********. To draft Manningham, but not this guy ... just doesn't make sense.

Off topic but is the above true? Is he really functionally ******** or is that joke? Just curious and this has nothing to do with the fact that I work with a Giants fan.

It's a jab at him scoring a 6 on the wonderlick

Not sure if already reported... Heard it about 20 minutes ago on an OKC sports station.

He's an idiot, but as a UFA I guess it can't hurt too much.

Did we sign him or not?

Don't get your hopes up, we all did.

 

[kruss41]

i live in New Jersey an i checked the eagles web site an he is not one of there signings to this point ........ Even if he does sign with Egirls he has a lot of baggage anyway ..........

 

[AmishCowboy]

I didn't know he was Tossed out of UNC for Pot, maybe we should stay away. Woody's Girl post an Article that said as of 2 PM he hasn't signed any where.

 

[bigE79]

Don't get your hopes up, we all did.

thanks TC,with all these posts i could not tell if we did or didnt

 

[Pottsville Maroons]

Well, I called that sports radio station again (WWLS) and they're again confirming that he did, in fact, sign with Dallas.

I hope they're right and also hope we'll get a confirmation from a 2nd source soon.

 

[yesfan]

He seems to carry alot of dubage

 

[odog422]

Don't get your hopes up, we all did.

Two OSU players sign contracts with NFL teams
By Bill Haisten, World Sports Writer
4/28/2008 3:30 PM

No Oklahoma State player was selected during the seven-round NFL draft, but two Cowboys signed rookie free-agent contracts on Monday - linebacker Donovan Woods with Pittsburgh Steelers and fullback Julius Crosslin with Dallas.

As of 2 p.m. Monday, OSU's most high-profile draft-eligible players - wide receiver Adarius Bowman and tailback Dantrell Savage - had not finalized free-agency deals.

As a redshirt freshman in 2004, Woods quarterbacked OSU to seven victories and an Alamo Bowl appearance. In 2005, he was moved to a safety position. Before the 2007 season, he was shifted to OSU's "star" position (a hybrid safety-linebacker position), and he wound up leading the team in tackles.

A short-yardage specialist, Crosslin got only 145 carries during his four-season OSU career, but he scored 23 touchdowns.

I wish he would just sign with someone so I can decide whether he is any good or not. :

 

[speedkilz88]

He doesn't look like an H-back to me. Looks like a big receiver type that teams are looking for.

 

[Bleu Star]

wow. Someone has a really good eye in te UDFA market. This guy looks pretty good. Hopefully he can iron our some of his wrinkles in TC.

So... Is it me or does this guy remind anyone else of TO with his route running and running style? Does anyone have his 40 time? in that video he was practically running away (creating distance) from everyone that tried to pursue.

That's some hard hitting reporting there. A guy that got arrested for pot a week before the Combine was red flagged? Whodathunkit?

He was saying that we totally took him off our board, as in he wasn't even a consideration. He also reported the same thing for Aqib Talib, he was never a consideration for us.

Speaking of Aqib Talib, here's a quick Bowman lowlight. The highlights far outweigh this video but since you mentioned Talib I thought I would post it.

Great. We're missing out on all of the other good FAs while Jerry is yelling 'Show me the money!' at stupid A Bowman.

I hope you are being something other than serious with that comment.

I think he looks so much like TO running it's kinda spooky. So either you and I are both nutty or he really looks like TO running.
