One day contract so Biggie can retire as a Bomber.

Time to part ways with under performing fans.

I'm sorry but we're going to have to let you go.

Elgersma signs!

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

Its been a long off season but there's reason to believe that maybe this season will be better than the last.

It’s crazy, because if anything I think he’s underhyped at this point. We all really have no idea, he’s raw and will need coaching but the NFL liked his tools and I don’t see why we wouldn’t either. But because the majority of us are butthurt, we just expect him to suck. He might but he also might be our next QB1. We’re so far removed from what he’s been working on to have any idea if he’s good or not.

"I can't believe he feel to us" "That guy is a sleeper" "We got the steal of the draft" "I can't believe we drafted him" "That guy is a bum" I am ready for the draft.

One way or another - its good we signed Elgersma. We get to see him in camp - and evaluate. I'm glad they didn't sign him last year with the 'squid' of an O.C. we had (Hogan) - would have been disastrous.

Yawn.

Good on the Riders for taking this seriously.

I've got another, "that guy makes Joey Corcoran look fast."

I would have thought most vet posters here would be super offended to have their name put together with Nasty Nate to create a love child.

Anyone ever heard of this Elgersma kid?

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

honestly, as is normally the case … I’m happy with the overall class even if the order we chose in didn’t make sense to me (the fan without a clue) You give me Nuer, Cline, Stuart in the first three picks and I completely don’t care about the weird Daniels pick in the third round Britton is interesting … some Eli vibes there Really like the Cline pick, that was who I wanted at 13 … didn’t understand missing the run on WR until we picked Britton Curious (but not optimistic) about how we deploy that TE

This site is really running slow today. This new playoff format is a complete joke and just awful IMO. The regular season means absolutely nothing anymore, teams will just coast and rest players near the end of the season because unless you are the bottom you are in. As a loyal fan this pushes me into caring much less on what happens during the regular season. Bad idea. This format would only work if they had at least 3 more teams. The only good thing is starting the season earlier.

As mentioned it's all about health.... If Ceresna and Collaros, in particular, stay healthy... We'll be more than okay. I keep worrying about demski every year, too. Not getting any younger... Hoping he can continue to stay relatively healthy.

I'm pretty confident we will be good this year. How good will depend on our quarterbacking. I personally have high hopes with Broxton and the overall commitment to revamping our OL...and then Tim White to throw to... Defense is really shaping up to be menacing. Riders suck, BC sucks. Time to assert our position back at the top of the mountain.

If Nasty Nate and @Noeller had a love child, it might be this guy. Just need a nickname for him now...

Just the best dude in the community, too. We were at Stella's prior to one of the many West Finals and had our back to the place so didn't even see him, but he came up and tapped us on the shoulder because my wife was wearing his jersey and wanted to chat. Asked us if we wanted it signed and was happy to get a picture taken. I lost my wife to him that day...

Thank you for your service to the Bombers. Adam. You werea beast in your prime. I thought you might retire as a BC Lion. Glad you picked us.

my hope is that the biggest reason we picked him and did it early was we liked the intangibles from the interview and conversations with his coach. If the kids soft skills are as good as his raw arm talent, he’s got as good a chance as it gets. I don’t expect any thing of value on the field this year from him. I’m hoping he shows a bit more of what he did in nfl pre season, but mainly that he shows great strides between now and next years camp.

lol you, me and literally every other literate person here all know that’s not all you said. You’ve been shitting on this guy for months because his career goals don’t align with your fandom. I hope you can learn to cheer for him and anyone else who chooses to manage their own career

Who advised him to do this? They've been wrong the whole time and I'll bet they're wrong now!

Finally came to his senses. Excited to see how he does n TC.

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

. 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.

CFL.caMock Draft 1.0: Who will Ottawa take first overall? - CFL.caCFL.ca’s Marshall Ferguson projects the first two rounds of the 2026 CFL Draft following the CFL Combine presented by Anytime Fitness Canada.Another mock to mock. Not sure about the rest of you but I'm desperate for some CFL news

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.

Let's not be hasty. Before we cut Goalie we need to make sure his replacement is in the MBB new member pipeline. Don't want to pull a Mike Kelly and replace Goalie with Stefan Lefors!

What a bizarre stream of posts. You think this pick was entirely Walters driven? Because of a one minute clip? Walters is the facilitator on draft day as the guy in the GM seat, but to think he just dreamt this up without significant input from the coaching staff is insane. Think about this for one second: we just hired a new OC who has a decent history of using this type of player, we have never sought out this type of player until now and people are suggesting it’s just pure coincidence that we went out and got a guy like Daniels? I don’t know why people are so dead set on this “it’s gonna be one or the other” thing. They all work together. I have no idea how to feel about the Daniels pick but I know it wasn’t just Walters and the scouts cooking up the bright idea of snagging a tight end. That desire for sure came with a great deal of input from the coaching staff.

Have to think they to plan to use this guy on running downs rather than bringing in the 6th ol like we did with Eli last year. I’m all for it if he can actually chip in with the odd catch.

I think what this year’s draft can teach us for once and for all is that 3DN doesn’t have a hot clue what the **** they’re talking about They generate almost all of the speculation on draft boards and they’re not even close this year, hence why all the fans are confused

Do the Bombers trade up for the 1st overall pick? Our first + the extra pick to move up three spaces in a deep draft? Will this allow us to get at least 3 players that will move the team forward, or do they hold fast, and keep a potential 4th high level pick? Do we have room for 4? Do we lose a player from an area of need if we trade the pick? Do we lose out on Vacarro if we don't - and is that so bad? I'm not sure - as we are not privy to all the information. Looking at our current roster - I would suggest our biggest area of weakness are OL -> reciever -> DL and then DB. OL -> Neufeld (at the tail end of career) - Wallace - Eli - with Vibert and Uwubanwen as backups. Reciever -> Demski - Nield - Clercius - with Cocoran and Cobb as backups. DT -> Lawson - with Schmekel and Kornelson as backups DE -> Bailey (Global) - no backup Safety -> Hallet / Ball / possibly J Smith / Kelly (and we may use an American here to start) LB -> perhaps use Shay and J Smith platooning at one position - Cadawallader and Novak as backups. RB/FB -> Oliveira and Paterson/Chris Ike. QB -> Elgersma will likely be one of the 20/21 Canadians on the opening positional chart other: Sheanhan (global punter), Leroux (long snapper) Have I missed anyone. Should be a fun night, and the global picks Wednesday. My son (12) and I are doing a draft party - and is usually one of the bigger days of the year. Whoever the Bombers pick - it should be fun. I hope they give every pick, as well as all the new players they have already brought in a real chance to compete for the team - need a serious, all-out, no locks training camp this year - let the players win their position. Apologies about the long winded post. If you see me at the games - I am wearing the bomber jersey with LANE on the back, #28. Looking forward to the discussions and arguments on the forum this year! Apologies if I tick you off if I question a post or thought - I will endeavor to do it in a constructive way! B28.

"What are we going to do with 40 Line backers?!" "Great hands, but can't run" "Hes super athletic! but cant do football things" "Did we just draft another long snapper?" "Best teams guy in the draft"

Love this... his last year or two wasn't all that memorable... but the first 3/4 seasons he played here were absolutely epic... he was a huge part of the turnaround and ending the championship drought... Congrats Biggie!

Counterpoint.... I'm always going to cheer for the slow white guy just because.

Kind of a side bar....but Brady O's new TV show is up and running on CBC Gem. I plan on checking it out at some point this week.

Elgersma said his job is to help Winnipeg win the Cup. Correct response.

The success rate of my "seems like a dingus" detector remains perfect.

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.

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

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.

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

Elgersma bad, fan opinion good.

Bluto has two brothers?

All 3 Argo fans might invade our stadium
