Agreed. Not advocating for him to be brought in - just thinking strictly about what he could add on the field (or more to the point, where we need the most help).

that would make more sense

Nope don’t won’t him associated with our club at all. Getting a better push up the middle is no where near justification in signing him.

In rotation it probably wouldn't be too bad (obviously not a long term plan though). If he signs with a team, he still has a 2 game suspension to serve so as a mid-season add, we could do worse.

Wonder if he got marketing money as part of his deal? The league was supposedly cracking down on teams abusing that cap loophole so maybe the Bombers did something visible to prove it was justified?

Or he can coach proper contain techniques - was a master at that.

I'm hoping things evolve as the season goes on (especially on Defense) and we see more of the low snap count/PR guys get involved and older vets get less time on the field. I'm really hoping that's the plan...cause if I have to watch another mesh absolutely torch the defense I'm going to lose my mind.

hahah.....no but he likely would help....you know Osh creams over vets and wont give a rookie a chance...so prob only way we get a guy on roster I see Gavin Walls often training...maybe he will give it a whirl hahaah

A 36 year old DE to pair with two DEs who are 34 and 32, what are we trying to do field a team for the senior's league?🤣

I agree....that being said...we could use him lol

I can attest that there has been/is a bit of issue in the room...in regards to some "decisions"....thats not conjecture or "my always right opinion as some claim" but from inhabitants in the room...or who were in the room.....I not gonna mention names as I wont break the players bond/code....but will just leave it at that....choose to believe it or not (thats not directed at you @Bigblue204 but the usual sycophants here) You not gonna hear about it...media has no clue and wont report on it, as they don't even ask the pertinent questions anyway and even if they did Osh would dance around it or spin it differently anyway...Half the stuff that comes out of his mouth shouldn't be taken as gospel anyway...and it's not he's "protecting" anyone...it's just who he is And yes I know for a fact that some guys left here and it wasn't a "we the bombers decided to move on)" as spun by media, but more a fed up thing...again....mock me...believe me...whatever some you all like to do but it is what it is And pretty sure if things go as they have past 3-4 yrs...you will see a real upheaval with players next yr....and we likely take a nice slide

October 9th 7pm.....vs Dallas...this will be fun

Horrible decision.

Working off the 65k bonus perhaps??...lol....what a waste of money if we feel we cant use him....pretty sure he'd offer something on the field.

Wrong Decision by the CFL. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/07/16/shawn-lemon-reinstated-with-conditions/

I saw that and thought it was a bit odd they would make him the face of it. Just makes the situation even weirder imo lol.

Again....this is YOUR narrative. Since that announcement has come out, the CFLPA has stated that it's not sure where that money will be allocated. Or even if it's going to materialize. https://3downnation.com/2025/03/27/cfl-salary-cap-increase-not-set-in-stone-cflpa-still-working-through-revenue-share-allocation/#:~:text=“There's never going to be,available%2C please check again soon. Yes, you made up that there is a morale issue in the locker room. There hasn't been any reports of that or even rumours. It's something you've decided might be a thing, based on nothing other than players who left for unknown (as in, we don't know if the club tried to keep them or not) reasons. You're making things up.

That’s a heck of an analysis. Sure they let him walk to save money on cap…. That’s one way to put it. The guy is way over paid. Overplayed by a country mile. I’m not a fan of Jake Thomas at this point but linking the two together lacks logic. Ford is getting paid way way more than Thomas. The two negotiations aren’t linked in any way. It’s your view that Winnipeg is 400k under the cap? I’d love to see your source on that.

I haven't got the access to contractual terms for any player & you know it as you couldn't even answer your own question. So, what you ask makes no sense. I just know that we have more younger players leaving now after their first contract is up with us than we did a few years ago. I think it's absolutely legit to ask why this is happening without you getting all frazzled & freaked out. Players like Garbutt, Fox, O'Leary-Orange, Dobson & Ford all left when their contracts were up. Kenny Lawler, the best frigging receiver in the CFL walked as we didn't want to pay. We decided instead to keep an injury prone Dalton Schoen who may never again rise to the level that he was two years ago due to his severe knee injury. Michael Couture never came back from his NFL tryout 2 years ago. We either didn't try or couldn't attract one prized impactful CFL free agent here this past off season & we're hosting a Grey Cup. You'd think free agent players from other teams would want to be here because of the reputation Osh has, wouldn't you? We deliberately left $400,000 on the table in salary for players while Walters blamed the CFLPA saying the cap may be rolled back by the Players Association & put into pensions which never happened. And it never was going to happen after the league & CFLPA announced the cap increase.

Making things up? Did you read what Tyrell Ford said? Most poster don't lie & make things up here. Let's hope we beat Calgary or heads gonna explode.

No, I figured it out, young feller.

Walters let Tyrell Ford walk looking to save money on the cap & then turns around & waste money signing an over the hill Jake Thomas. This off season was one of the worst we ever had.

Gotta' go with Lawler.

If you look into it, Mitchell had a sketchy history before he arrived in Edmonton, one of these players that matures quickly and dominates high school football with advanced physical skills, quite common in hockey too. Probably learned to get open without paying much attention to a playbook, he should have been Tre Ford's favourite receiver. "In his senior season, he was named Tennessee's Gatorade football player of the year after he caught 81 passes for 1,484 yards and 22 touchdowns, leading the Spartans to a 9–4 record and the Class 6A quarterfinals.[1] He also rushed for 951 yards and 20 more touchdowns on 64 carries."
