I'd sign Harris 
Trevor Harris 
Or Streveler if he's OK with 250 ish for 1 season with the idea he apprentices behind Zach 

My concern with Maston is he's coming off of a torn achilles tendon (if I remember correctly). No guarantees he's the same player. Hope he is.

Overall I'm good with how we did in free agency. Re-signed most of our key players. Kicker and back up QB still an issue.  

I agree. Desjarlais was the one that hurts the most. Honestly, I could see Ellingson being a top 5 receiver this year. It makes a huge difference when your QB has time to deliver you the ball.

yeah...I have full confidence in our scouting network now to replace and reload..5 yrs ago nope...now...no concerns
And you cant continually stay status quo and continue to win...we did that for 2021...2022 we keep the keys...and reload..re-tool..Ellingson/Bailey is a upgrade to Lawler/Adams in the grand scheme....Maston will ore than adequately replace Darby...Darby was brought in to replace Maston...no concerns there...
Harris leadership and heart will be missed, but I bet at end of the yr we are either number 1 or 2 in rushing again
And hands down we still have the best O-line and with Davis leaving the cats..we still have best dline....and we are missing only Alford and BA (till likely Aug) in the defensive backfield who started the Grey Cup

I don't want to lose Harris but at the same time he's not a long term solution so at some point you gotta replace him. Better to do it before you lose the guys who might be able to do it. 

Best of luck to Darvin in Ottawa. 
 

Will miss Darvin. Great leader and reliable receiver. Amazing how similar his stats are compared with Ellingson - except for YAC where Ellingson is exceptional.

I gotta credit to Mike for calling Adams signing out back in the day. I remember him saying he hoped the Bombers picked him up from TO. I had no idea who he was and was skeptical, but it turned out pretty good. Darvin is legit one of my all time favorite players, I love the edge he constantly played on.

yup....DA was a key guy for our turn around...be missed in more ways than one thats for sure...but we need to reload.....nature of the beast

Redblacks will be a much improved team this year,thank you for everything,Darvin!

Awesome! He was by far the best free agent receiver left. I feel good going into the season with Ellingson, Bailey, Woli, and Demski, I still think Bailey is going to break out this up and coming season like Lawler did last season.

I know reported already but thought id add the article.  I think this is huge for us!  Zach's accuracy with a good big receiver like that as a wideout is going to be a nice addition. 

Dom Davis gets a deal in Montreal. How this guy keeps getting work in the pros is insane. 

Harris is the best RB in Bomber history. He deserves another contract. That being said if the reports are true that he came in out of shape last year and not ready to play then he needs to consider that as well. I am sure the Bombers have asked him to take a cut, maybe not officially, but certainly unofficially. If Harris wants to be a Bomber I am sure he can be. The ball is in his court but by all accounts the big payday here is gone for him, and it sure sounds like this was at least partially his own doing. I wish him well if he wants to chase the pay day and I am sure Lapo has 20 touches a game reserved for him in Ottawa. We will be fine without him. FIFO.

This is laughable. Come on man.
I’m a huge Andrew Harris guy. Turned this whole franchise around for us. Ring of Honour, Hall of Fame, statue out front of IGF, do it all for the guy. He deserves that and so much more.
He’s also more or less finished. He’s at the end of a great career. Does he have something left in the tank? I don’t doubt it for a second, but there’s a reason the great teams are the teams that are a year early on these decisions instead of a year late. Harris is going to be 35 at the start of camp, he could barely practice last year, he’s becoming progressively more and more beat up and he can’t really be a full time back anymore. Had a hell of a run in the playoffs after taking a huge chunk of the year off and having a year off before that to heal up. How is it going to work for him when he doesn’t have the benefit of those variables?
I hope we find a way to keep him, but he’s not the pulse of this offence anymore. He didn’t suit up for us for more than 4 games in a row last year. His playoff run was extraordinary, but let’s be honest with what it was. Those are conditions where you have to pound the rock and Hamilton/Saskatchewan were both missing good pieces of their run stopping D. He was coming off a ton of rest. That can’t be a long term solution for us and we have to look to keep this team together in ways where it leads to sustainable success. A 35 year old running back who probably doesn’t want to take the pay cut we’d need him to take may just not be an answer for us.
 

After what Chris Jones pulled in Edmonton I’m shocked they would ever allow him to step foot in that organization again. 

Sounds like Goveia staying, and a continuing **** show in L'ks land......
 

Chris Jones will certainly help that org gain respectability. 

I’m shocked at the idea of being “okay that we lose Desjarlais”
He’s probably a top 2-3 priority for us to sign. Massive hit if he leaves.

Props to Buck Pierce as well. First season as OC. Really utilized all of the talent on offense, and made great adjustments at halftime in the Grey Cup. 

yeah I'm glad that Buck woke up in the second half because I don't know what that was in the first half.
