Bears | Bowman placed on waivers
Tue, 2 Sep 2008 14:19:18 -0700

Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports the Chicago Bears have placed CB Zackary Bowman on waivers
Just this afternoon.

You may remember the Pats had tried to trade up to pick Bowman in the 5th round this year, only to have him taken by the Bears a few spots earlier. They ended up drafting Slater.

There were two behind-the-scenes stories – one that worked out in the Patriots’ favor, and one that did not -- which reflect how the draft is fluid and teams must adjust on the fly:

...

In the fifth round, the Patriots were keeping a close eye on Nebraska defensive back Zackary Bowman and began working the phone lines in hopes of striking a deal to select him. A tentative deal was in place with the Jaguars at No. 143 if Bowman was available. It appeared as if things would work out, but the Bears snared Bowman at No. 142 and the deal was off.

Now, if early returns on Slater hold to form - the BB/SP brilliant label will grow......I think this just proves the inexact science of the NFL Draft.

I was actually suggesting something more along the lines of the Pats bringing him in.

Why? I doubt he's better than what we already have.

Just about to post this myself. A guy they were very VERY high on pre draft and post draft.

Might be brought in and let LeVoir or someone like that get cut.

Couldnt hurt. Bowman had a ton of upside.

Interesting catch. If he clears waivers, I could see them trying to put him on the PS, but I'd be surprised if they signed him to the 53 ...

Lots of Bears fans very upset over the cutting of Bowman.

He actually played very well according to most.

Good flashback! He would be more of a PS guy now, and we already have a CB on the PS (Richardson). Timing is everything.
