The Edmonton Eskimos were faced with a tough decision on Monday as they decided to release wide receiver Adarius Bowman.
The 32-year-old Chattanooga, Tennessee native spent the past seven seasons in Edmonton, where he racked up 7,050 receiving yards and caught 36 touchdowns in 88 games with the Eskimos. Bowman didn’t only play a big role on the field, though, he also made a huge impact off of it as he received the Tom Pate Memorial Award last season for his contribution to his team, the community and Association.
While plenty of fans and Bowman’s now former teammates sad to see the veteran leave Edmonton, no one is more upset than Olivia, who might just be Bowman’s biggest fan.
It didn’t take long for her to break out into tears once she heard the news that her favourite player was no longer a member of the Edmonton Eskimos, which shows just how much he meant to the community.
Shortly after coming across the video, Bowman reached out to Olivia to thank her for all the fond memories and always supporting him during his time in Edmonton.
Where do you think Bowman will end up next season?
