Maybe but sounded like Kyle didn’t wanna go any higher. But I’m never going back the past is in the past.

And I say hey what a wonderful kind of day we can learn to laugh and play and get along with each other.

Winners = Winnipeg and Ottawa (both improved areas of need ) bombers got the best OL and DL available. They also improved cdn depth slightly by signing Nield (more than slightly) and grabbed a realiable veteran cornerback. The only question mark with the bombers Is backup qb but options appear limited. Bombers signed all their important free agents and every one is well minus Kyrie Wilson but if the worst move is signing Kyrie who is a solid veteran leader to a 1 year deal. Then yeah bombers are winners Losers = Hamilton and Saskatchewan ( they lost the most players) maybe Toronto also as losing RD and McManiss is 2 huge losses. The rest id keep in the neutral to stayed the same category.

I’m here without you baby, you’re still on my lonely mind I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time. RIP Brad Arnold.

Plus Montreal is an iconic original 6 franchise. My grandfather was a huge Canadians fan. Huge.

He’s gonna eat ‘em raw this season cuz he’s a tiger cat.

That blue dot thing does the trick. I'll be using that.

I see. I’ll take a look. An alternative is clicking the blue dot for a thread that has unread posts. It will take you directly to your first unread post. I use this all the time, I only see the first post on new threads.

He's signing somewhere, just not Toronto.

When I open a thread I need to scroll past the 1st posting to click to advance to the last page. Not a big deal, and I am not sure if that can be changed since the threads' titles are a part of the 1st post of each thread.

Rest In Peace, Brad Arnold. To die so young. Very tragic. Eff cancer.

Not sure what you mean by this.

I think most GMs would honour any contracts offered. I don't think any team would mess with the system they have to screw it up. Look at last year when they announced the salary cap kncrease right about now. A week after the window opened. No teams wanted to offer more to nab a player from another team or put in a different offer to keep or sign a free agent. Example: Kenny Lawler. The Bombers could have offered more but said no after he & the Ti Cats agreed to terms.

So, which teams were the free agent winners (including their own) & losers?

I honestly forgot about Arthur being called that too until it was brought up

Transfer or not if Ceresna wanted to back out he could have. He would just need to not sign with the Bombers and wait for FA. Only the team is obligated to terms in the neg window. Player can back out by saying they are no longer interested an hour before the start of FA

Don't remember but that's okay.

Any way to put the page listings above the 1st post of a topic instead of below it? Saves a bit of scrolling if its a topic I am revisiting.

There were in fact...follies.

They could have just released him, which is what most teams would have done. By transferring Ceresna's contract to the Bombers, it eliminated any opportunity for a screw up. Like another team trying to scoop in to try to sign in. Hervey did Walters a favour, maybe he's getting a steak dinner out of the deal.

It was around OB

Yes.

Just a PR move.

But why make a public announcement? That would be protocol anyway. They know he's leaving. My point is, if you do it for one player then you have to do it for everyone. Even the backup long snapper who left in free agency. That's a heckuva lot of announcements league wide per team. I've no issue with it. Just that it was never done before.

It's as simple as doing right by a player so that he can sign and get his signing bonus sooner. 💯. It was a classy move by Hervey so that Ceresna can finalize his contract without waiting. Also there is roster limits in the offseason of 85 players. Its possible that Hervey has a bunch of recruits to sign and needed to open a roster spot. It really isn't a mystery why he would release Ceresna if you look at possible factors for doing so.
