The record book says that's not entirely true, at least as far as drafted players go. 6 guys have played out their rookie deals and left as a FA in the last 10 years: Ford, Dobson, BOLO, Desjarlais, Kongbo & Loeffler. 9 guys have stayed past their rookie deal: Kramdi, Cadwallader, Brady, Eli, Nick Hallett, Gray, Couture, Gauthier, Chung. There have been guys who may have been around longer but were forced to retire due to injuries (ex: Noah Hallett, Trent Corney). More concerning was the amount of busts we've had over that time - i get the CFL draft is a crap shoot but man is it ugly.

Like who? Ford and Dobson? Ford signed for stupid money. Dobson would have been nice to keep but he got a huge raise. Can't pay everyone to be the top at their position.

A lot of players leave here after their first contract. We refuse to pay. We spend money instead on retreads like Thomas & Kolokowski. The Canadian Mafia faves.

"Free agency? Don't talk to me about free agents. You kidding me??? We'll be lucky to sign our own guys before they leave. I just hope we can sign Thomas."

Dline bottom third? uh dead last no?

Draft is just as important. Alford Veresek White Saad Shanks Fortin Findlay Ambers All got starts this year. The Bomber's need to get Smith and Shay on the field. Plenty of goid guards this upcoming draft.

It’s hard to get too excited about anybody until closer to the date when we know who’ll be available. With all the one year deals, there are lots of good players that are potentially available.

Als could have survived that if Alexander had been healthy.

I'm more curious about who's available in FA that we should be looking to spend on...

I know its early but any guys that we should be hoping for in the draft? Tangent but sort of related, the U of M had 5 Canada West All Stars this year. Any of those kids legit future prospects?

OShea has always done it according to some formula in his head, but this upcoming year I'm hoping (maybe unrealsitically) he and Walters take a good hard look at what went wrong in '25 that we finished 4th in the western conference. And what is needed to change. Our offense was disjointed and lacked direction. Our oline wasn't good enough. Our dline was in the bottom 3rd of the league. (hard work +Experience) > talent

That should have been a score with nobody around him... He waited FOREVER for that ball.

If it's President JBR then you have to agree with him... No need for dissidents.

Alexander wasn't on the field for that game changing fumble.

I agree. A healthy QB doesn't throw most of those picks. Philpot was open but he underthrew him.

Will I be allowed to post my own thoughts in the new MBB, or only if I agree with the president?

Alexander's hamstring made it nearly impossible to zing the ball accurately and taking off was not an option. That was the difference.

As long as his slogan isn't Make MBB Great Again.

I admire your enthusiasm but question your sanity. I would want a medical report before signing him, but, pending that, he would instantly become our best prospect for starter. That O-line, though.....

C'mon, we all know one poster here who is better than good. He's very excited.

JBR for MBB President.... Absolutely brilliant.

Oh suck it up, Princess,

Funny that we've reached the point in the cycle where MOS just doesn't love his Canadians enough, or in the right way. Sure we could find receipts about how people felt about giving Jesse Briggs reps at WIL, having Kramdi take a breath on a CFL field at all. **** almost wish he went to Toronto so we could get our board back.

Yeah, the draft on TSN is Mickey Mouse because TSN & the CFL treat it that way. Both could do much more to make it bigger if they wanted it. Have regular updates on TSN in the off season about U Sport & players in the NCAA. Create an awareness with fans of who these players are & where they play. Do a mock draft on TSN so fans can have expectations of who their teams may select. Move the draft to a hotel meeting room or a venue where audience members scould sit. Create the illusion the Draft is a big deal. However, that would take work, money & committment. Something both the CFL & TSN don't have. And damn it, televise all 7 rounds.

Honestly I think they should worry about making the draft relevant first. That's an actual event. Free agency isn't really. It's streams and trickles of information over 2-3 weeks. Free agency in the giant leagues is big because there's basically networks that exist to cover that. TSN/SN primarily cover the NHL. ESPN covers NFL, NBA and MLB. All of these leagues have their own networks in the USA with some carriage in Canada. They talk about this **** 24/7 and most of the time with the NHL and July 1 they have almost nothing to talk about. It's dead air and they have no competition other than people finding someone to do outside. How did my browser land on Facebook?
