ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Should the Oakland Raiders merely kick the tires on NaVorro Bowman, who was released Friday afternoon by the San Francisco 49ers? Or should they kick the door down and not leave Bowman’s house until they have him signed?
Yeah, I’m thinking the latter, same as you. Send the car to Santa Clara and bring Bowman up I-880 to the Raiders complex. Give him a helmet, a uniform and trot him out there Sunday in what is close to a must-win situation for Oakland, which is riding a three-game losing streak and needs desperately to shore up the middle of its defense.
