TV is more so for personalities, Barker was annoying. I look forward to BLM retiring and joining the panel.

To me, releasing Kola is a pretty obvious sign to the pending free agents that we are going to either a) put work in to pay one of them to play center or b) all of a sudden decide Tui can do the job and it’s not B

I predict Wilson will be let go. Neuf maybe not, because even if they go with 3 Americans, they'd be well served with him as the 6th OL.

So far so good. Now, they need to sign Castillo. One more test to come with free agency.

Barker may be old & irrelevant to some but the Argos think highly enough of him to rebuild the team the way he sees it. He said he'd be focusing on rebuilding the OL. He knows the league & has many contacts in the NFL & college. The Bombers should be so lucky to have the contacts Barker has in his network. I think he always kept in touch with his college & NFL scouts as well as kept current on CFL goings on as well.

"Barker has consistently worked as a panellist for TSN between CFL jobs, but that opportunity disappeared shortly before the 2025 season began. There was a shake-up at the network that resulted in multiple changes to the programming, including new graphics, music, special guest panellists, and the removal of some longtime analysts. “(TSN producers) Chris Edwards and Arden (Doidge-Flynn) came in and they didn’t think I was what the station needed,” said Barker. https://3downnation.com/2025/12/23/jim-barker-thrilled-to-be-with-toronto-argonauts-after-fearing-cfl-career-was-over/

The trinity is competent after all.

Pretty obvious that he was fired. Jim Barker said on the Rod Pederson Show at Xmas time that he had a meeting with two producers from TSN before last season. That they wanted to go in a different direction. They fired him.

I’m assuming it’s been posted here but does anyone know the factual story of why he isn’t with TSN anymore? Budget cuts, other?

They get rid of Dunigan & keep Kate. Ridiculous.

No, it's a lot worse now downtown. The homeless sitution is bad & the gangs are in there doing drug deals & recruiting. You have these massively expensive high rise condos downtown & at the doors of these high rises are the dregs of society. Can't take your dog for a walk after dark. Even during the day it's sketchy. i live in SE Calgary about 20 miles away. the only reason I came downtown the past 10 years was for a surgical consult with my orthopedic surgeon & for follow ups after surgery at the AB Hip & Knee Clinic. Otherwise, I have everything we need where we live. Never go downtown anymore. People have been robbed, assaulted, knifed & murdered on the C Train station platforms going in & out of downtown.

How long ago was 2019? That was pre pandemic. The world was a different place. That was a long freaking time ago. Kyrie Wilson should be next to go.

As soon as the Bombers get to the five they send out short yardage.

Counter point 2019 was 7 years ago. Perhaps its time for a larger overhaul. Then again what do I know?

Think sunday was last day.

I bet he’s in camp with someone but doesn’t make an ar. I could see 2 of them gone.

He was due a bonus tho and had a yr left on his deal

Willie, Kyrie, Stan and Paddy... That's what I'm curious about for sure. How far do we turn it over from 2019 and who then are the leaders?

Imagine Brady's numbers if Strevy didn't vulture all those tds from the 1. Then again, it likely kept him from making $400,000. 🤣

Doesn’t seem like Josh Kyle mark and gabe are tuning him out. We lack talent. That’s more on Chevy than Arniel but it’s also partly the result of being an elite team for years now (with a presidents trophy and central banner to show for it) and not having top 12 picks. People love Winnipeg when they play here, some make it home year round for life, getting ppl here tho is still the problem. Perception. Not the free agent destination. So rock and hard place. Be good and not have top 10 picks and not be able to restock the cupboards or be bad like buffalo always and have top 10 picks every year.

Does someone sign kola? I mean surely somebody will sign him. It’s surprising to me as he was just on a video with Tait. Thought that was a sign he’d be back. kola gonna be qb coach now? Can complain about guys getting an extra 20k probably but Walters has had a solid off season so far. willie is the next decision. Normally signed by now tho no? And Kyrie. So far Kyle is 2 for 2. schmek? Looked like he was improving b4 the injury. Decent depth who could easily be cut tho.

happened with Woli last year, we released him in late January.

it is kinda if an NFL team is looking at you...but just for a guy on an expiring deal prior to FA seems odd...why havnt we done same with some others?....not implying any kind of regime bafoonery...just odd

It does, but a true positional C can have that coming out as a pro. Vibert isn’t a pure C, but he is a high floor guy. getting a guy who has experience in a similar system helps a lot too. Kola was a snap specialist. Guys like couture and goosen have been the block captains. Calgary did a great job of fitting fortin in, and identifying a guy who would be turn key for them.
