https://www.cfl.ca/2018/05/15/argos-release-quarterback-jeff-mathews/ Welp theres a qb with several years of cfl experience available.

Yeah. On the bright side I’d like to remind us of our record on supplemental draft choices.

Darren Bauming has tweeted that he has been told the bombers can only use their original pick.

https://ibb.co/jhD2Dy Here is what the CFL bylaws say about the supplemental draft. Nowhere does it say that a pick you traded for can be or can not be used. Assumptions are dangerous but if it doesn't say it can't be used I would imagine that it can be used.

Seems like the kind of guy that would benefit us. Somebody who could potentially add depth this season (and in the future). Someone who could possibly start games if injuries dictated that.

This is an area where the league needs to institute an injury settlement policy. In a case like this that it happens in the offseason there should be a settlement but it doesn't count against the cap.

I think the issue is roster spots. After his injury they loaded up on receivers in the draft. Who do they cut when he comes back? Are we really going to carry more than 4 Canadian receivers on the roster? Im assuming Wolitarsky, Simonise, Petermann, and Demski on the roster. There's also Henry, Blaskco, Thera-Plamondon and Pierre to think about for dev roster and practice roster.

I could see Nichols playing until he's 35. Most proven vets in the CFL play a while.

Yeah we are probably about 70k short of being able to sign him at this point

At this point Maziel almost makes the most sense in Winnipeg. I think he could quickly turn into a guy who can start games in this league and we need a backup qb right now who could win us games. We aren't so concerned if he bounces back to the NFL in 2 years.

The issue with Kapernick and the cfl is he made way too much money in the nfl to risk his body for 200k Canadian in the cfl.

Seems like the kind of size that can develop into a Sam linebacker down the road.

Alex Ross will be the next mvp in this league. When a family member gets really involved in the message board only good things happen. It’s the Khari effect!

I think they would want to. Not sure how they could manage that salary cap wise. But I guess for a few weeks they could pull it off. Unless somebody like that gets cut I see us sticking with what we have untill such a point as Nichols gets a serious injury. At that point it’s worth giving up a draft pick for somebody.

Manziel is now even more likely to sign in the cfl which might shake a qb lose from Hamilton. https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/tamu-football/report-new-england-patriots-no-longer-considering-signing-johnny-manziel/

I think Streveler could run a mean short yardage unit. He’s big and he’s runs a 4.5 40...

I kind of doubt that Montreal cuts their cfl experience guy. Whatever happens to Cato?

I found a pretty good interview of Chris Streveler online though some of you might enjoy learning more about his and his character.

I really wonder if we knew there was a chance that Durant would retire when we decided to load up on a dredt pick for next season. If worse comes to worse we do have an extra pick next year we can dangle.

We need to take this opportunity and actually find and develop a qb. But I like a vet for 3rd string. Give the 2nd string reps to someone with upside.

Some guys stay in shape. Just saying we should check into it. He will have plenty of time to get in shape as the scout team guy. I want that rookie from SD to be the backup

Would be worth it to force him to stand in front of bomber fans.

We should check in with Dan Lefevour. At least he can run a good short yardage and knows the offense .

Hopefully the hall of fame game is in Winnipeg the year Darant gets in.

The best option would be to see what we’ve got in training camp and perhaps look at some cuts from other teams if the guys we have can’t perform.
