. 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.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers sign All-Big Sky receiver Christian Fredericksen - 3DownNation

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.

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.

He was the Indianapolis Colts receivers coach in 2016 when TY Hilton led the league in receiving yards

That was from the 50/50 proceeds. The CFL released the draft order on March 31st which would indicate no team exceeded the cap by 100k or more.

he’s got very comparable wheels to lawler actually. very similar style and skill set as well. The big difference is kenny developed the polished route running and had that understanding of how to get open. That’s always the case really. Wrs are a crapshoot, far more guys with the tools needed fail then make it. Even the ones that make it like lawler almost always need a year and 2 full camps to turn the corner.

I'm sure they are trying, but the Elgersma hotline is not exactly ringing off the hook methinks. The guy isn't playing and there is a new draft class about to hit with a whole new crop of UDFAs that teams will want to look at. Elgersma's ship has sailed and he is still on the dock thinking it's going to circle back for him. Sad really.

stanback retires. was a lot of fun to watch run

Even still Stegall was in the NFL for a bit...so was deemed good enough there for a bit Every new player really comes up as a nobody for the most part...some with shining college stats...some with rather plain and unassuming stats...it's all about the opportunity present when they get here, and a coaching staffs ability to see it...or see something in a player and squeeze the most out of them and get them in a position to succedd....if you have talent and ability....teams will see it Interesting in regards to Bruce he came up here basically with experience in college as mainly a RB and not a receiver but our staff at the time saw in him the talent and gave him the chance at receiver as there was no chance in him unseating Roberts, and we also had Blount and Mills ....and that turned out pretty well for us. You don't let high ability talent walk out the door just cause it doesn't fit your ratio or established stars in prime are in the way....good evaluators will find a way...we have a hard time doing that here of late

Thank you for your intelligence, sir... You are appreciated around here, Gordo!

well, now that everybody has cut this kid Frederickson, maybe we should see what he can do before he hits the field at training camp or the exhibition season. I'm sure that a lot of receivers were prejudged as not being good enough. The thing is, you can't judge charactder or the size of a man's heart.

He was drafted less than 1 year ago and then spent all of preseason with the NFL up until final cuts about 7 months ago. I understand people want him to make the commitment to the CFL, but until May, he hasn't really missed any unexpected time at all. In his mind, he is trying to parlay some UFL time into another NFL camp and that process hasn't played through yet. And until it does, any expectation that he's just going to pack it in is nonsensical.

Can't really expect help from the Canucks

I've always felt he and Brady O played with similar grit - just gutted it out.

I'd love to see him start as well, as I dont think the sum of all the parts with us going 3 imports on the oline and sacrificing a key one on defence makes us better. Now if Osh actually uses his Canadian youth on defence at linebacker, as well as Bailey in rotation and we draft another kid who isn't just a teams only ever plug but a potential starter/high upside guy to ease into the defence then yeah maybe it could make sense....But we all know Osh and how he works his roster, and until I see otherwise...I have zero faith he will...let alone knows how to maximize his roster with the best players, and then actually use them

I believe that Wallace is in a really good position career wise if he chooses to stay. He's not going to find any other OL around the league with a probable starting OG position up for grabs where he would be considered the heir apparent. I'm not sure it takes a huge increase to keep him either, he only has limited play time at this point.

The CFL is not transparent at all. There is very little info released other than a team went over & by how much. It's a shitty system with communication that needs to be improved.

I remember Lee Hull. A steady, if unspectacular receiver for the Bombers. But that's okay. You don't need to be a superstar player to be a superstar coach. Most great coaches weren't great players. Hull has NCAA & NFL coaching experience. I think his playing background is fine. he'll probably be a pretty good position coach. BTW, he caught 46 passes for 734 yards & no touchdowns as a Bomber in 1990 & 91 while averaging 17.5 yards a catch. Clearly he was a possession receiver & not a deep threat.

If any of these guys emerge as bonafide CFL receivers I'll be tickled pink. My point in all of this is that I like that we are looking for some size and 50/50 ability in our new recruits. Whether it's Banks, Fredericson, or Receiver X, I think we really need someone of that style in our receiving corps.

If we wanna keep a receiver of that ilk...then Banks should be the guy as bigger...way better measurables...better pedigree...huge upside and almost shocking he is up here, and likely is gonna be playing dialed in with something to prove. He could also easily step in to the wide side WR spot right outta the gate and be easily eased in with us having Demski, White and Pokey stealing a lot of the db's attention and find himself in a lot of one on one situations....and he is a proven contested ball receiver and knows how to us his body to box guys out....Plus can take inside routes and work from along the l.o.s too...Dude has all the tools and came from a top notch school

TSN is likely the answer

That’s a big part of it. his size is basically what’s expected, doesn’t have the athleticism to break away at the top end or separate at the break. he also doesn’t have a great get off move or route running polish to get open. Not like he’s un athletic, or bad technically at his position. he’s just kind of average at every thing save for his hands. He’s clearly got top level hands. He also played 4 years at a small school and basically put up 1 good season of production in a year and a half. A guy like that in a program like that has to do more for more years. His upside would be lawler, but he has a lot of work to do to get close to that.

That knee injury Stanbeck suffered really affected him. He was the best running back in the CFL hands down when he got hurt. Stanbeck was never as dominant after he came back. Therefore, never saw him play at his full potential very long because of it. Became a journeyman running back.

In his prime it felt like he was always guaranteed a 5 yard run even if two guys were grabbing a hold of him.

I don't care about that as much as knowing how much of a profit the Bombers made this past season. Just wondering when the financials will be released.

So they just swapped MLBs. I think BC probably got the better end of the deal.

We're all going to TC like this to support Stevie Rocker, right?

awe he’s dirty award to continue another year you can only learn so much from sitting and holding a clipboard. His biggest challenge is getting up to speed vs the massive step up in calibre from cis to pro. hes not going to get much for reps as the pr or qb3. He’s going to pretty quickly find him self stuck in a spot where hes not good enough to be a qb2/1 and can’t get enough reps/hands on coaching to grow as qb3/4.

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 wasn't expecting any team to lose a draft choice or to go over the SMS by any significant amount or at all. OTOH it would be interesting to see the results and compare the SMS spend to the standings. The problem is we only see overages. Even that isn't a direct relationship to season ending roster. Money left could be spent re-signing players and that could include and overage I'd like to see what each team spent after final game and then amount spent in December before free agency.

Emergency aka jets don’t have enough “healthy” Bodies on the main roster. I’d suspect a few vets “injuries” are acting up. 55 81 gabe cole will all play. JT will play cuz bonus money but is there really a need for names Nino and Nyquist ? Nope. There isn’t. Give Yager and Chibrikov some much needed big league reps.

CFL.caBombers name Lee Hull receivers coach - CFL.caThe Winnipeg Blue Bombers have hired Lee Hull as receivers coach, the team announced on Monday.

Brutal Truth: Jets cannot even fail successfully. Coming up: mid-round pick, mid-round finish. We do not need another Cole Perfetti.

Lots of politics in the CFL? It's worse in the NFL. The kid tried to find an NFL roster spot. Based on all his workouts after he was cut by the Packers, he wasn;t good enough. Time to move on as he gave it his best shot. Time for Plan B. If he wants to keep banging his head against a wall, so be it but he's running out of time. The problem is, he's U Sports trained. Not NCAA. Teams have a bias & don't trust his abilities.

Dagger night indeed. Am interested in what Chevy will say after autopsy is completed. Hopefully commits to something aggressive in re-tooling in the off season. At least the Leafs are joining us on the golf course, buffers it a bit.

Pretty much anyone in the system could replace those two. They are washed up. The locker room is the only place they’d be missed.

Honestly. I’d move on from Nino and names in the off season via trade if I could. It’s time to insert some speed and youth. Honestly Nino and names are just taking up spots that should be used for younger quicker guys. Nino has been a disappointment the last 2 seasons now. I’d prob bring back Toews cuz although it took a half season, he’s a solid 3rd or 4th line center still and his veteran presence is probably a good thing. I’d also sign Koepke and Barron to new deals. Nyquist can **** off. Try to get that 2C by any means necessary. If it means trading pionk I prob do it cuz Salo is definitely a 1 or 2 rhd. And Salo played well with Samberg also. Just saying I think pionk prob gets you that 2 center. I wonder if Demelo Plus prospect gets you a young maybe unproven 2C. Couple years ago jets had interest in Washington center Connor mcmichael, they should have made the trade cuz dude is lighting it up a bit the past 2 seasons now. Solid numbers. Young also. I don’t think Washington would move him but perhaps that type, where you take a shot on a guy who maybe hasn’t quite put it all together but you think will with the right system and line mates.

The last 2 annual reports were released on April 7th and April 9th, respectively, so if that's any indication, we should hear about that any time now.

Fun fact, added to neg list does not mean signed 😆👍

I hope we sign this RB. Always good to have a fun TCF name to root for.
