What kills me is... wtf was thislats year. You know. Something. Something. Grey. Cup. Hosting. Something.

I don't think Elgersma has anything to do with it... They brought in a bunch of Americans to compete. Even if TE was in camp, it's a stretch to expect him to be a #2.

There must be discussions. The fact we didn’t pick up a vet indicates I think they’re confident Elgersma comes to Winnipeg barring a last minute NFL opportunity. I’m also curious to see how Bryce Perkins performs as well as I think he’s has a solid pedigree.

Maybe we didn't go after a backup because we are fairly confident in getting Taylor Elgersma here? 🤞

Riders taking a nice eviceration ...

Not a bad move, reliable vet. He was pretty good for us last year all things considered.

Criders get Vaughters

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 cant 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.
