whole league sure needs it. But with the pay and the nfls pr size/pay we don’t stand much of a chance. It’s not that they kind find the kids who can play, we can’t get the ones who can. So we try to find the guys who can develop in the bargain bin. We went from finding guys like ricky ray driving a fritos truck to shopping for never have been guys at dollar general.

Let’s hope CFL scouts have a banner offseason scrolling the countryside for QB’s.

oof yeah that’s ugly. Idk that you can be a lot worse than what we did with strevy but yeah. Shiltz retired too. Masoli is probably just a formality. The rest is a coin toss of, experience but not success and neither experience or success but they’ve been around.

But that is my point. We can spend big money on a 1 - 2 guys in FA each year and still have enough money to sign other quality free agents. This year we paid the highest amount for a RB and an olineman. We also paid big money for a receiver, a dlineman, another oline, etc.... It's not like Walters has to wait 5 seasons to save enough money to start spending again. At no point did we ever have a Rourke/Adams situation as they had in BC.

As per cfl.ca free agent list , the remaning options would be: MBT Caleb Evans Shea Patterson Tyrie Adams Matt Shiltz Logan Bonner Chase Brice Jeremiah Masoli

I think it's more like for the last 5 seasons after the years of making a splash with Harris/Jefferson/Bighill in free agency, we've mostly been a wagon and just spent most of the payroll on retaining the guys we have. Although we've slowly lost 1-2 guys per year and are back to where we can afford to spend big again.

No it isnt. They haven't lost anyone of importance according to their "forum". Scouting will take care of everything. Hi GR55, the Bombers never stopped being the class of the league. They just decided to share the spotlight for a bit.

When Harris inevitably gets injured, the Riders are going to Full Jets.... First to Worst.

Reavis, Allen and Carny is a big set of hits to the Riders D.

Riders lose another piece

Really going to miss Schoen on the Bombers, it was a treat getting to watch him play when he was fully healthy. Always going to be a big what if. If he could have stayed healthy I think he could have turned into one of the greats. Dumb decisions to play him injured, and man the guy took a pounding after the catch on some less than stellar passes.

Bombers officially out on Schoen. Which is obvious. But hes got an agent and plans to play again once healthy....as per Taylor Allen on the Twitter machine

It was a very good day. Happily surprised that Ceresna signed here.

My guess is some Sasky players were uncomfortable with their fans ‘arrangements’ with other family members.

looks to me like almost 300k per year. We will have to see when the semi official numbers come out. I’m curious to see what allen got from ott too. yeah would’ve loved him. very happy with what we got though and looks like mad money. Dru brown should be really happy.

Ott grabbing Eberhardt sucks

it’s true, but I don’t think broxton or ceresna will back out. Broxton is leapfrogging every single ni ol in the league to be the highest paid. which is huge for an imp especially one who is 32, about to turn 33. Ceresna is getting 125k up front, which is huge, and basically 500k over 2 years which again is 31 turning 32 and off an injury. even though it’s minor and not really a concern for us, that’s scary as a player that age going into fa. Tremendous value for both, and they get to play in front of massive crowds on what is shaping up to be a contender again. This is pretty much best case scenario for both. it’s odd that now houston has all this attention when he was out of football for a good chunk of last year

I think you can pretty much count on the Bombers starting 3 American OL with Elsbury being a strong contender to win the centre job too....possibly 4. They have 13 American OL signed for 2026.

Reminder, these deals aren't official yet.

Am I reading the news on Eberhardt wrong? I read 2 years, 300 k total or 150k per which is fine.

You’re paying for the potential. Might be a great fit in Ottawa. He’s being paid like a number one guy now instead of being option 3/4 for Rourke. We will see how this plays out. I would not have been happy paying that price for him.

and ford gone to hamilton
