Next few weeks can't go by fast enough... I'm beyond ready to get the season underway with Draft, TC, etc....

Looks like Streveler is calling it a career. Posted a video on TT. Getting injured is not the way the players should go out, but that's the reality of a contact sport. Much respect for everything he's done for the community and the team.

Wallace is an easy keep and foolish to let walk for what could amount for 40...50k Neuf shouldnt be back for 2027 and I doubt Big Stan will as well...Neuf money can go to bump Wallace...Big Stan elsewhere....and change left over

. The team also suffered a few departures, including receiver Keric Wheatfall (Hamilton Tiger-Cats) and defensive lineman James Vaughters (Saskatchewan Roughriders). Jake Thomas, the team’s longest-tenured player, retired to become its defensive line coach. They have a different meaning of suffering if that’s our key departures.

Surprise, surprise, surprise. Our new Mayor Jeremy Farkas was dead set against the new arena now under construction during a divisive arena debate ten years ago says he's open to the idea of a new stadium for the Stamps. To be located on the Stampede grounds where the present Saddledome is at now after its torn down. Apparently, there have been preliminary talks with CSEC. So, maybe there's a light at the end of the tunnel. This could take years so I'm not holding my breath that this happens in my lifetime. But if they hurry up, maybe Noeller will be alive when its built cuz he's getting older as well. Amazing how a person can change once they become Mayor.

Bombers print money year after year, class of the league on the field and off.

Not sure if asking the MAGA crowd for help, getting a foreigner getting a work visa, is a sound strategy.

I can’t wait for the draft just so this thread can divert from Taylor ******* Elgersma already. Man it’s slow offseason.

Collaros looked cooked 10 years ago because of his injuries - the fact he's healthy & still playing at all is remarkable.

Good on the Riders for taking this seriously.

I gotta give the organization credit for not becoming complacent. Their sales team could have mailed this season in after selling out last year but the opposite is happening. I have seen them marketing the standing room tix that you mentioned, they are promoting group sales and I even received a card from my ticket rep (I didnt even know I had a rep).

That's eye popping for the CFL. Holy smokes. Made as much as the Jets lol

I don't see what goes on behind closed doors obviously, but if every other club doesn't corner Miller and demand his secret at every opportunity, they aren't paying attention. Amazing stuff.

CFL stupid rules with the Coaching Cap. This league worries more about the 55 yard line than a rule that chokes the life out of teams trying to improve thanks to that asshat Randy Ambrosie. Now the new guy. He won't get rid of it.

Intelligent people assume....wouldn't put it past the CFL to announce cap penalties after the draft or something stupid. Can't waste anytime when there are 55 yard lines to remove from fields.

Here's Hull scoring in the 1990 grey cup (1:15)

This is William Stanbeck's retirement announcement on social media. I usually read these announcements & 99% of them all sound the same but this really feels heartfelt. Even though he never played for the Bombers, I'm going to miss him. 3DownNationTwo-time All-CFL running back William Stanback retiresAmerican running back William Stanback has retired after seven seasons in the Canadian Football League.

If he doesn't get another NFL camp invite, he should be here for camp. He got a lot of workouts and no offers. It's hard to say if that's a good thing for camp, but it sure seems like a bad thing for him since he doesn't have one currently. If he doesn't have a plan to be here for camp and doesn't have an NFL camp invite, I'd be shopping his rights hard. If he gets another NFL offer, I'd be shopping his rights soft and be looking to flip him as soon as he was willing to come up mid-season. Mid-season QB drought is real. Having a guy like him is an asset to a desperate team. I'm not losing my mind over his lingering down south. The amount of time he's spent out of football and off the field, the time it's been since he played a regular-season game, all of this reduces his value to me. You expect a Canadian QB who played CIS ball to be up here fairly quickly if you draft him. Choosing to sit out for workouts, a UFL non-roster spot, and NFL combine cup holder raises red flags about his intangibles. And he needs to be a high-intangible guy to succeed. He's a depreciating asset hiding behind some smoke and mirrors. The whole thing hasn't come apart, but it isn't far from happening. It is far more concerning to me that we gambled a 2nd on this guy and didn't seem to have a hot clue about this.

Elgersma bad, fan opinion good.

This coming season my man ZC is going to stay healthy, light it up, lead us to Grey Cup victory and retire on top. At the very least it feels good writing this. Off season hope.

It seems like our worst fears, finishing a point or two out of a wildcard spot, is coming true. Waited too long to go on a bit of a run.

I think we all agree these mocks are usually terribly inaccurate... but I'll take this and even Hodge's mocks.... because, at the very least, it does provide some insight into the prospects at this years' draft... also, agree that any content is good content at this time of year...

iirc this is wallace’s last year on his rookie deal. I would be open to moving wallace, but only for a younger equally high upside ni ol who will be under control for a while. Well that or a qb but i don’t think there is a qb on the market to make that deal. Vaccaro and henning are extremely high upside guys available. I hope that we grab one of those two.

If I'm Walters, I'm not trading Wallace. We seem to lose our OL after their rookie contracts run out. We need to stock up.

I think it was someone we drafted. Not sure though. Wonder what the thoughts of others are on him. Anyone?

Insert previous OC under the bus?

Osh trolling mbb.

Elgersma barely being ahead of a QB who spent the better part of 2 years on the Riders practice squad doesn't inspire a tonne of confidence tbh

Agreed and this is why I think it might be more of an issue with the company than the employee, in which case there's not much Elgersma or his agent can do. The are other alternatives (like an O-1A visa) they can pursue but those have different requirements and can be harder to get.

Considering they sold out the entire season and hosted the Grey Cup, I'm guessing quite a bit. Interesting to see the total.

Collaros may be old and bad, but he makes up for it by being expensive.

It's true, but there are other factors that make it less likely for us. Like, none of them were turning 38 years old when they had the comeback. Doing that in your early 30s is very different than doing it at 40. None of them had the massive list of serious injury concerns Zach has faced his whole career. Zach already had one miraculous career resurgence, and it wasn't one big injury that held Zach out or back last year. He's been held back by a big old stack of medical issues for the last 2 years. We will be giving Zach basically the best case scenario this year. More OL talent than you could shake a stick at. Seriously, our send best OL unit this year is better than the best of the last 2.5 years or so. Rbs and depth, WRs with top-end talent, and an OC that is basically hand-picked for him. I hate that we are tied to Zach; I hate even more that we have no contingency plan. I hate most that we had no real way of doing any better at QB this offseason. But it is what it is. Have to hope for betting QBing room next year at this point.

If the reclamation project in Trevor H. could do it, so can Collaros. Even BLM looked cooked 3 years ago.

ZC with a new OC....good oline again and some legit targets is gonna do one of 2 things...Either have a late in career renaissance like Calvillo had and actually be a legit #1 and possibly another 2..3 really good yrs in him if the situation allows for it....Or he is gonna confirm the last 2 yrs of this spiral into crapsville is real and he is done. And we should do whatever we have to in the season if this is the case to address it and not wait for the off-season and really be hooped...if it means trading assets...Picks...or a legitimate performer so be it, but get it accomplished If he shows a rebirth and his physical skills look like they are not degraded from previous season, then he could be a resigning on a 1 yr deal for 2027 at a reasonable price as we are hopefully grooming the 2028 guy....Not at the 600k price tag he has been getting...not even 500k...but more in the scope of what BLM has taken and if he doesnt like that deal....See ya later

We're deservedly ranked last, that's all I care about.

he was always gonna make the team. Will be interesting to see how much playing time he gets.

For whatever reason there was a long held belief that 9v9 youth tackle football, wasn't "football" in a lot of minds that controlled amateur ball in the province. And programs suffered under that. Even that change has brought youth football back growing in the province. Along with programs like the Selects, or Recruit ready, Club ball has added a spring league too for U16 and up....there are more and more programs in MB that are just about developing players at every level. Not only skill but just a love for the game. Add in the Bombers 1st class commitment to the youth in tackle and flag and football is seeing a legitimate renaissance here.

We've had plenty of MB's play for the team during MOS era. Part of the problem was that MB amateur football didn't really have the programs other provinces did to help develop that young talent. We do now. In the next decade there will be more and more MB's playing pro football.

Is Vaccaro a Demski kind of guy....after his 1st contract, he's likely to come home? I know he has a lot of ties to this community.

Pure hyperbole man. These things exist in most large cities
