Well, they got guys like Barnett clearly out of necessity. And Gumbs is just some sort of fluke/miracle. But you can tell especially by looking at the practice squad roster, and from comments MS has made this summer, that they were keen on going with and rewarding the guys who have been practicing with them all spring and summer.
It's also possible they never asked Cofield or Bowen before now.
It's also possible that they needed the money at this point because with the season starting roster bonuses are probably kicking in
