It looks that way. I imagine it will be as a precaution for the rest of his career. Honestly considering how he hurt it the only time he should take it off is to shower.

Well.. Nichols and Streveler were not participating but they were kind of loosening up. I noticed that Matty Ice was still wearing a knee brace.

Lets hope any cuts this point forward come from players being beat out by somebody better.

Every team in the CFL every offseason has a list similar to this. Calgary's is much worse. You're always going to have turnover if you're a good team in the CFL. The teams in the CFL that get good and remain good do so because the upgrades they get from year to year come through drafting, American scouting, and development. There was a lot of bellyaching last year when the team lost Jamaal Westerman and TJ Heath. The defense ended up being vastly better and not just because of Adam Bighill. Sayles ended up being an upgrade over Heath and Alexander took huge steps forward making the secondary a lot better than it had been previously. If in fact Walters didn't build the team he had last year by complete fluke there's no reason to think that this team won't continue to move forward. There are plenty of candidates to be improvements over what we had last season beyond Jefferson and Matthews who are both massive upgrades at key positions. If Nichols gets back to his 2017 this team is much better. The passing game will likely be better even if he doesn't because Matthews is a big upgrade and the Canadian trio all have an additional year under their belts.

Bombers have signed Kongbo! Please delete.. Redundant

Agreed its one of my favorites.. I find it both inspiring and also horrifying.

You obviously haven't watched Gattaca!

And what's to stop the bombers from just dressing an injured Canadian defensive back who's injured as their starting safety and immediately removing him for Fenner?

The more details we get the more details we need. For example.. Would we be able to use Foketi as an import and Hardrick as our DI. Start Hardrick as our tackle and then if we get an injury to a canadian guard put Foketi in at guard? Or would Foketi have to play tackle and Hardrick moves to guard? Fenner has gotta love this rule. If Jones goes down he can replace him at safety. Also.. A guy like Flanders (if we still had him) could come in for Harris when he's hurt. All Harris needs to do when he needs a drive off is ride the bike a bit and get trainers to look at him. Seams like an easy rule to skirt.

He sounds like a real great pickup.. Would have been a crime not to have drafted him. Now imagine where this team's Canadian talent would be at if Loeffer, Chung, and Goosen were all back here.

No no. Just saying that if he goes through some prolonged rough patches again like last year I think Streveler will get a chance to takeover this season and he could potentially never give the job back. I believe Nichols contract is coming up after this year and if Streveler shows really well this season I could see Winnipeg moving on if Nichols wants big bucks like some of these other qbs have got.

I think we keep developing Bennet. He’s experienced now and there are things that could happen this season which could lead to Streveler being the starter next year and if that happens I want a 2nd string qb who’s experienced.

Imagine this Hazel is legit at his size in a receiving core already featuring Matthews and Wolitarsky. Nichols better work on his high point!

Could be this year’s Taylor Loeffler!

Wow.. Because this league needs to create new revenue streams or else we'll end up being the XFL's Mexico!

Ticats release Jalen Saunders.... https://3downnation.com/2019/05/15/ticats-release-receiver-jalen-saunders/

It might be a case of all veterans starters salaries get a decrease and not limited to 3. If its just three then i don't see it having a big impact other than that your elite americans get paid more.

By that same logic they should have reduced the minimum salary and not increased it. If you could pay a rookie 30k then there would be more roster spots for rookies right? What the league now offers a rookie is more money and if you make the grade a longer career as well.

Does this mean we can bring Denmark back again?

You can't really give to one without taking from the other in this regard.

Jason Gregor is reporting that for these players a certain percentage of their salary won't count against the cap. So it could be a case that the more you have the more you save.

The problem with rewarding teams for having a Canadian backup is with 3 qbs on the roster every team is going to dress the equipment managers as the 3rd string qb. It should be a case where if you play a Canadain qb while he is in the game you can insert a DI for a different Canadian.

Ok.. And what happens if a bunch of them get injured? And how exactly is the Canadian QB in the ratio? Im assuming they have to actually be on the field to provide any ratio benefits?

I would hope that it would have to be 3 years with the same team. Or else this is a bit nuts.

Maybe if you start enough veteran americans you can dress an additional DI for a Canadian. Doesn't technically affect the ratio. Or maybe a percentage of these vet's salaries won't count against the cap?
