After parting ways with the San Francisco 49ers, 3-time Pro Bowl linebacker NaVorro Bowman has found a new team. The Oakland Raiders have managed to get a done deal with Bowman, who reportedly signed a 1-year deal worth $3 million. The Dallas Cowboys were also interested in his services, but obviously, the Raiders wanted him more. The team confirmed the acquisition on their official Twitter profile.

It was really upfront, letting me know their position and how bad they want me,” – Bowman said about his new team. “He (Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio) let me know exactly what he wanted to get out of me coming here and being a presence for this defense. Being more vocal, getting guys to understand the urgency to be really good at the NFL level.

Although his carer was spoiled by injuries, Bowman is still confident in his abilities.

I’m only 29 years old,” – Bowman said. “I still have a lot of juice left in me.

Bowman is still in the process of being familiar with the team, but he said he wouldn’t have anything against starting the Raiders’ game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday if he feels he is ready. Coach Del Rio also thinks Bowman could make his debut vs. Chiefs.

He’s a veteran. He understands ball. We’ve not tried to install the entire playbook but specific gameplan things,” – Del Rio said. “Even though it’s a short week, we feel good he’ll play.

NaVorro Bowman spent his entire NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers, and it looked like he will end it there as well. Still, 49ers had different expectations from him this season, and Bowman became unhappy with the organization. After various trades fell through, 49ers decided it would be best to release Bowman and allow him to play for another team where he will have a more prominent role and a chance for success.
