  • Interesting player released


    The San Francisco 49ers announced on Friday that they have released linebacker NaVorro Bowman.


    “NaVorro gave his heart and soul to this team for the last eight years, and for that we are all extremely grateful,” said 49ers General Manager John Lynch. “During that time, NaVorro was a key component of one of the best teams in the League and his passion for the game allowed him to quickly become a favorite of our Faithful fans. Thursday evening, Kyle and I met with NaVorro, and from our conversation it became evident that going in different directions was best for both him and our team. Although NaVorro may be moving on, he will always be looked at as one of the great players to wear the red and gold. We wish him and his family great success.”

    Bowman (6-0, 242) was originally drafted by the 49ers in the third round (91st overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft. The eight-year veteran earned Associated Press First-Team All-Pro honors four times in his career (2011-13 & 2015), as well as three trips to the Pro Bowl (2013-14 & 2016). During his career, he has appeared in 89 games (74 starts) and registered 808 tackles, 12.5 sacks, four interceptions, returning one for a touchdown, seven forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries and 28 passes defensed. Bowman also led the team in tackles in four of the previous six seasons (2011-13 & 2015). This season, Bowman started each of the team’s first five games of the season, where he registered 38 tackles and one pass defensed.

    Sign him, if anything else so the Skins or Cowboys don't.

      I would absolutely sign him but he could be shot. He really destroyed that knee a few years ago.
      You know Darren if you'd have told me 10 years ago that someday I was going to solve the world's energy problems I'd have said your crazy.... now lets drop this big ball of oil out the window.

        I'm concerned with his knee. Love the player, just wonder what is left.
        We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.

          I doubt they cut him if he can still play.

            I would absolutely look at him. SF is either a dumpster fire or a rebuild (not sure), but Bowman may not want to be a part of either. We are thin at LB and may lose Maragos off special teams. If he is willing, let's see if he can pass a physical.

              When I hear LB that has physical issues, I have flashbacks to Levon Kirkland.

                Lardass? The only physical problem that he ever had was eating himself to death. If he's still alive he's probably 500+.
