Interesting note at the end of this tweet:

Trying this another way. Took the latest version of the Bomber roster and assumed that if a player isn't listed in 3DownNation's FA List, they were signed for 2023 (at least). Also took into account "stuff I've read". This may calm you or give you conniptions. I do not guarantee 100% accuracy. Bomber Roster – Player Status for 2023: Quarterback Zach Collaros (A) – Under Contract Dru Brown (A) – Under Contract Dakota Prukop (A) – Unsigned Free Agent Running Back Brady Oliveira – (N) – Under Contract Johnny Augustine (N) – Under Contract Fullback Konner Burtenshaw (N) – Under Contract Mike Miller (N) – Unsigned Free Agent Receiver Carlton Agudosi (A) – Under Contract Tavaris Harrison (A) – Under Contract Jaivon Heiligh (A) – Under Contract Brendan O’Leary-Orange (N) – Under Contract Drew Wolitarsky (N) – Under Contract Dalton Shoen (A) – Under Contract but in NFL Window Rasheed Bailey (A) – Unsigned Free Agent Nic Demski (N) – Unsigned Free Agent Greg Ellingson (A) – Unsigned Free Agent Janarion Grant (A) – Unsigned Free Agent Timothy Knuettel (G) – Unsigned Free Agent Greg McCrae (A) – Unsigned Free Agent Luke McMillan (N) – Unsigned Free Agent Offensive line Liam Dobson (N) – Under Contract Geoff Gray (N) – Under Contract Chris Kolankowski (N) - Under Contract Tomoya Machino (G) - Under Contract Drew Richmond (A) – Under Contract Stanley Bryant (A) Re-signed Jermarcus Hardrick (A) Re-signed Patrick Neufeld (N) Re-signed Michael Couture (N) – Unsigned Free Agent Eric Lofton (A) – Unsigned Free Agent Tyler Witt (A) – Unsigned Free Agent Defensive line Thiadric Hansen (G) – Under Contract Cole Adamson (N) – Under Contract Cameron Lawson (N) – Under Contract Ricky Walker (A) – Under Contract Jackson Jeffcoat (A) Re-signed Willie Jefferson (A) Re-signed Jake Thomas (N) Re-Signed Keion Adams (A) – Unsigned Free Agent Casey Sayles (A) – Unsigned Free Agent Linebacker Tanner Cadwallader (N) – Under Contract Malik Clements (A) - Under Contract Brian Cole (A) - Under Contract Adam Bighill (A) Re-signed Kyrie Wilson (A) Re-signed Jesse Briggs (N) – Unsigned Free Agent Shayne Gauthier (N) – Unsigned Free Agent Les Maruo (G) – Unsigned Free Agent DeJuan Cooper (A) – Unsigned Free Agent Defensive back Brandon Alexander (A) – Under Contract Karon Delince (A) – Under Contract Nick Hallet (N) – Under Contract Noah Hallet (N) – Under Contract Evan Holm (A) – Under Contract Demerio Houston (A) – Under Contract Redha Kramdi (N) – Under Contract Deatrick Nichols (A) – Under Contract Jamal Parker (A) – Under Contract Desmond Lawrence (A) Re-signed Winston Rose (A) Re-signed Alden Darby (A) – Unsigned Free Agent Mercy Maston (A) – Unsigned Free Agent Nick Taylor (A) – Unsigned Free Agent Souleymane Karamoko (G) – Unsigned Free Agent Cedric Lavigne (N) – Unsigned Free Agent Donald Rutledge Jr. (A) Left for USFL Tyrell Ford (N) – Signed in NFL Kicker Mark Liegghio – (N) Under Contract Ali Mourtada (A) – Unsigned Free Agent Long snapper Mike Benson (N) Re-Signed

We're pretty much set from the O-Line back.

Jeffcoats return is very good news....If he's over the nagging injury bug that plagued him last year, look for another big year from Jefferson and Jeffcoat...The return of the Jeffs....like it

Always wondered why we accept bribery when it's labeled as "lobbying" when it's a prosecutable crime with a direct paper trail of evidence? The biggest flaw in government today is that wealthy donors, unions and corporations are allowed to buy influence with payouts and promises in order to maintain their position at the top of the heap, it goes against all democratic principles of fairness and equity.

FYP.

100 percent coaching

TIL... Collaros is making 600k. Cripes. Good for him I suppose. As long as we can afford to keep him upright. Here's the thing about the BLM "sweepstakes"...... Is he really valuable anymore?? He hasn't shown that he's an elite QB since his shoulder got all buggered up. Someone is going to wildly overpay for a truck with a LOT of city miles on it...

Everyone knew the Vikings were pretenders you'll never win anything with Kurt Cousins as your qb and that last play proved it.

Given the complete lack of star or even 2nd tier qbs available or the ability to build an ol over night in the cfl you can make a pretty accurate guess at who will suck at least.

Happy to see Jeffcoat back. Now announce Demski on the 18th cuz its my birthday.

If that's the plan around announcements, I'm fine with that. It gives each returnee the limelight, interviews etc. Demski had better be next. i think I'd puke if I saw him in another jersey.

I was looking into this further. I work for a union, you have to register to be able to by the looks of it, and we don't. In fact I am required to fill out a monthly report to document any time I talk to a politician, and any time during elections we have to report every penny spent during the period, with a very low limit (like $3k nationally). Unifor does more so (under 1 million), but I'm going to guess that they're an outlier and that it's a veritable drop in the bucket in the big picture when you compare it to corporations. So, do some unions do this- yes- but I think it's disingenuous to lump them together when you look at the big picture. I don't think union contribution amounts are anywhere remotely near wealthy donors, corporations, or right wing organizations.

from your keyboard to the Bombers social media team...... here's hoping we see that one next. Walters said last week that he was supposed to be talking with Nicky D on Friday, I believe.... hopefully it's all but announced.

I'd roll with Vernon Adams over Fajardo without even thinking twice. Fajardo is back up material only at this point in time.. and that's if you can't find any sort of prospect to bring in.

I agree, BLM likely gets what 500k and I think he's damaged goods.

Wow, talk about a GM with his head in the clouds. He & Dickenson, what a pair.... Ha ha.

It's the greatest. We should add Fireball.

Trump isn't just stupid. He is powerful, unassailably and utterly ignorant, possessing no self-awareness at all.

A few days ago, when Yoshi's re-signing was announced in the Free Press, and he was described as ecstatic to be here. He said that at one time, he was reduced to living on mayonnaise sandwiches with only $18 and change to his name, so this is his best life. From the sound of it, he will be a Winnipeg lifer. Good to hear.

So, expectations are sky high in Edmonton........

a lot of the heavy lifting done, with a few key names left on the board and then some foot soldiers to re-up if possible...

great coach to learn under... no doubt about that... but he's QB2 (at best) behind the guy expected to be the face of the franchise for the next decade... so not a great choice in terms of opportunity

I think someone mentioned last week that the Bombers had a few signings in the can, is Demski next?

I thought it averaged out to 550k. And I believe they used the remaining bonus cap to front load cash to further minimize his yearly cap hit. That’s what I recall atleast though cap info in the cfl is mysterious at the best of times. The big difference imo is that it is much easier to budget around an expensive qb when you have a great team. Having a good team and then trying to add elite qb money is gonna be soo hard especially to do with out getting worse little on getting better. Faj is going to be the funny one to watch imo. I like Masoli and ott has a lot going on for them. But man I wouldn’t want to rely on him to be qb1.

There's one piece of the QB drama puzzle taken care of...

Biden just used his mind to declassify them. That's what passes for unclassified among the morons.

Waking up this morning like... Bonesy for Jack Adams.

The first one is absolutely awful, the preview on this new one however looks really good. I'm saddened that Brooks never made a 2nd SpaceBalls, I'm guessing without Candy it would of been a hard movie to do.

Riders management. Reynolds, O'Day & Dickenson.

Vikes continue their trend of being the most disappointing playoff team in NFL history. Well we may now get Niners-Cowboys next week.

SKOL losers, Vikings suck

Again the pieces aren’t available for a bad team to rebuild their ol or get a game changing qb in fa. Unfortunately the suck teams have only a lottery chance of getting to the play offs and that lotto ticket isn’t in cfl fa. I mean with that management no free agent class is going to save them.

and FotWJ have fixed their error as well Helle is starting NOW LET'S TAKE SOLE POSITION OF FIRST PLACE IN THE CONFERENCE

Bombers are going 20 and 0 in 2023.

The worst OL in living memory. O'Day & Dickenson should form a stand up comedy team with the things they say.

That game was way closer than I expected it to be.

My favorite CFL off-season tradition is people predicting standings in January. Lol

Honestly if it’s 600k to your starter you run thin at his back up. That’d mean no more vaj imo. It’s only 50k more a year than zach. You can’t even get a guy on league min with the difference. 600k makes it harder 700k is borderline crippling. the lions however we’re going to have a hard off season no matter what. When ever you build around big free agent pick ups with a cheap starting qb it’s going to be hard to sustain once you turn it around. The lions will have to add probably 250k in hard salary at qb and try to keep an insane amount of cap flexibility this coming year. Doing that and maintaining your core will be a nightmare doing that and improving will be impossible with out hitting the lotto on rookies. It’s going to be an insanely hard off season for the Leo’s. Do you go all in on a blm or over pay a harris do you cut guys mid season if rourke gets cut? Do you run that much under the cap? It guts their ability to compete in free agency this year too. Who wants to sign with a team in that qb situation? I would love to see the stats on how often starter quality or better qbs go to the nfl and then return to their previous team. I feel like the returnees would be in the minority.

Maybe we should ask who do you like? As far as the Chargers losing this game. Does anybody really care in LA? Even in a mega city like LA, the Rams get most of the headlines.

Go 9ers! Bury the Sea Chickens.

Outshot 40-23. Tons of traffic, plenty of point shots, plenty of tipped shots. The rubber was going to find the back of the net, no matter who was in there. No chance on the disallowed goals either.
