I don't think the team will bring him back but the 49ers were very courteous about how they handled his exit.

The team had reached a deal to trade Bowman but instead released him without compensation to allow him to pick his own team.

Coureous?...he asked to stay and they cut him.

They had an agreement with New Orleans on a trade. But Bowman didn't want to go there so they released him.

They just wanted to dump him and his contract there's nothing courteous about doing it mid season. If they really wanted him they would have worked it out when he asked them to let him stay.

He did not want to accept his role and wanted off of the team. There was no working this out.

And yet Bowman tried to make it work but this team decided to take it public and cut him. I wonder what kind of positive impact he could have had on Foster had he been here for the year as a mentor?

You say this as though Bowman wanted the mentor role. One of the reasons they parted ways was because he wasn't interested in doing that role. As Lynch basically said, once he had checked out and wanted to not be a part of the coach's plans it was time for both parties to move on and there was no going back.

Lynch made the right move cutting him. It's funny that this is still be debated

Have him back for Fosters suspension, and then cut him?

So the 2013 NFCCG is on and the Bowman injury just happened. Seemingly the moment everything began to change for us. Watching that brought it all back. The year Bowman was robbed of the DPOY award as well as his fumble recovery in that game. Truly a great player who if he remained healthy, would be in HOF consideration (2011-2017).

Yeah the game was being replayed just now as I watched again one of the worst football injuries I've ever seen. I forgot just how awfully brutal it was. Couldn't believe how far sideways his knee was bent and twisted, even a little backward as well. Just so unbelievably bad.
