9 catches on 21 passes, 95 yards no tds 5 games. I dont suspect he is highly paid but I feel we'd be better served giving some one like thompkins a look, or bringing back denmark, heck bring in backari grant and start an extra NI. 

Bowman is a guy you need to involve and target a lot to get any thing out of and even then we all know his struggles with his hands.

It is a conditional pick and we don't yet know the conditions

You'd think so. Montreal gives away 1st rounders like candy.

True. Goes to show how abysmal Bowman is.

Sounds like it’s cap related. I really wanna see what Kenbrell Thompkins can do.

Me too!

Is it though?  We got Ben Koczwara in the 8th round this year and so far I'd say he's the steal of the draft....

He’s another big target but looks super athletic, might be a good option on the wide side.

Its low obviously but yeah, you never know.  Plus its currency.  Its better than releasing him or paying him to under-perform.

I think this deal was lined up before Mtl. traded Williams.

This sort of deal, is known as strictly a "dump"

the fact they got anything for an old, under performing high priced american is a positive. 8th rounder isn't great but it's better than nothing. They now have an addtional draft pick to use in a trade if need be.

After that horrible route/give up by Bowman at Home and the drop in TO to start the game, I was really hoping they'd bench him in favour of Washington or Thompkins. But thought it would be unlikely because of his $$$. So I'm very happy with this move. The fact they got something is just a bonus to me.

If Bowman suddenly remembers how to catch again I really hope we don't fall for the Adarius experiment a third time.  For some reason he can't catch in a Bomber uniform.  I call it "Kamau Disease".  Or "Poblah Syndrome".

Anyone that gets on to the roster will probably contribute more than Bowman has this year, for some reason it just didn't work out for him here again.,

Be a bit annoying if he actually does something for Montreal  - but we couldn't justify the production for the money.  Bombers just cut their losses, here.....

Hopefully, the cap space gets used by Geoff Gray in a few weeks.

Geez 3 insults in one page, did Bowman steal your wife or something?

The condition on the #Bombers return in the Adarius Bowman trade is this: If he does well in Montreal, the Bombers get an eighth-rounder. If he doesn't, they get nothing. But they do save money on salary. #CFL

I hope anyone who bought a Bowman jersey left the tag on it!

this isn't meant to be an ignorant comment, but I didn't even know the CFL draft went 8 rounds deep!

or maybe a Brandon Zylstra 

Basically they gave him to Montreal a place where he wont come back and haunt them.

Bought mine on his first go round. As with C Denmark jerseys....they should never be packed too deeply in the closet.

I think it probably had more to do with showing Bowman respect.   Instead of releasing him they sniffed around to see if anybody would give up a ceremonial draft pick for him.  There's nobody you're gonna draft in the 8th round that you could just sign as an undrafted free-agent.
