NaVorro Bowman has retired

I'd be down for bringing Bowman back to fill up some snaps, play 1st and 2nd down and then hit the sidelines. Considering whats out there in FA, Bowman + one or two rookie LBs to go along with Coyle and Malcolm Smith doesn't sound so bad.

I just don't think bowman would come back if asked. Maybe I'm wrong.

why the hell would he even consider coming back here

• he's a FA …
• it's still early, but it's possible no other team calls with an acceptable offer …
• he and his family, still in the Bay Area …
• like everyone else, he still has monthly expenses …
• he'll be 30 YO the 28th of May …
• his big paydays with extended contracts, are probably over …

He just might consider it because:

• he's a FA …
• it's still early, but it's possible no other team calls with an acceptable offer …
• he and his family, still in the Bay Area …
• like everyone else, he still has monthly expenses …
• he'll be 30 YO the 28th of May …
• his big paydays with extended contracts, are probably over …

Putting his pride aside, and coming back to the NIners, would make sense in the roll Phoenix outlined.

Then again, he might be in the chasing that last big paycheck mode … and decide to go wherever the cashflow is the greatest

Bowman wanted to leave. He's where he wants to be right now

Which is where … as a FA, and no team/s) calling (as far as we know, to date).
Other players have gone back to the team which drafted them, after being
released ?? So although it's unlikely, it's not an impossibility …

I'm guessing teams are waiting until after the draft to sign Bowman. Especially the Raiders. If they grab either Roquan or Tremaine in RD 1, I doubt they resign Bowman.

You know, willis and bowman would've been only 29 and 33 respectively if only they stayed healthy.

If they had a QB that coule give them a breather, they'd still be playing at a high level now.
