NaVorro Bowman Reportedly Signs 1-Year Raiders Contract After 49ers Release

Free-agent linebacker NaVorro Bowman and the Oakland Raiders reportedly agreed to terms Monday on a one-year deal after the four-time All Pro was cut by the San Francisco 49ers on Friday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the deal is worth $3 million.

Bowman reportedly planned to visit the Dallas Cowboys Tuesday, but the linebacker chose to stay local with the Raiders instead, per Nick Eatman of the team's official site.

Bleacher Report's Ian Wharton provided his thoughts on the signing:

Bowman spent the first seven-plus years of his career in the Bay Area, and he quickly emerged as one of the NFL's premier inside linebackers after arriving in 2010.
