Toward the end of the 2017 season, then-Oakland Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said middle linebacker NaVorro Bowman was a “God send.” That may have been a little too nice and a tad of an exaggeration on the coach’s part. Bowman was solid after he signed with the Raiders. He certainly as worthy of being
Pro and cons of Raiders bringing back NaVorro Bowman
More spelling errors Bill. Proof read please. “Chooses”?
On it, good sir.
According to Pro Football Focus, Bowman was a top-5 performer for the entire Raiders 53 man roster. Imagine what he’d do when he gets in a training camp and pre-season. I’d unquestionably keep him. We can “get younger” at positions that need major immediate help. I’d be drop-dead shocked if the Raiders let him walk.
Good thought. He did play well when used appropriately. And, Gruden does have a penchant for using older, veteran linebackers. If the price is right, and Bowman is better than any free agent, it sure seems like a good fit for a team in need of leadership and experience.
He was good, not great. But I can see him coming back.
I would love for Bowman to stay and help teach both on and off the field. But I understand if he wants one last big deal. Its a business.
Either way our Raiders need a quality young MLB.
Very true.
