RaidersAreOne Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Sources: The #Raiders are trading RB/returner Lynn Bowden Jr and a 6th rounder to the #Dolphins in exchange for a 4th round pick, the same pick Miami just got from Vegas. The versatile Bowden was a third-rounder this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 Wish I could tell you something about the guy. However he was rarely talked about in camp and obviously struggled enough to get the boot before playing a down. Hope he does well for you guys.

RaidersAreOne Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 Quote Some at the team facility thought the rookie was more concerned with picking up new cars than the playbook, and on the field Bowden looked measured and not explosive. On top of a lack of breakaway speed, he was always getting blasted when it was his turn to pass block. influence on other rookies like Henry Ruggs III and Damon Arnette. Suddenly, that slide rule that teams use to measure talent versus potential risks tilted toward the conclusion that keeping Bowden was a losing proposition Context as to why we were eager to move on.

hrubes20 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I love this deal. I wanted Bowden in the 3rd as a slot WR and gadget player. I can't believe the Raiders were using him as a RB. He may not impact the game much in 2020, but his skillset is quite obviously that of a slot WR. After all the smoke clears, the Raiders/Dolphins transactions equate to: 1 year of Raekwon McMillion and a 5th round pick for 4 years of Lynn Bowden Jr and a 6th round pick (with the Raiders picking up the $1 million or so signing bonus) That's quite obviously a good deal on paper for Miami.

One of the sites said Bowden (and rookie Navy QB Perry) were wearing red jerseys in practice so maybe they were playing QB as scout team for Cam Newton prep?

Don't think he got time to practice so far. He's just been so busy signing his loan documents and sorting through all the options for his new car.

He played a little wildcat QB in the beginning of the season. Former Navy QB Malcolm Perry seems to have taken over that role when we break that out.

We were trotting out Antonio Callaway, who we just signed from our PS the day before versus the Broncos over him. So far looking to be as bad as a trade as I envisioned.
