Am I taking crazy pills? What would be upsetting about swapping Adams for Ellingson?
I love me some Darvin, but Ellingson can still go. He had 68.7 yards per game last year with some absolute dogshit quarterbacking. Adams had around two thirds of that with league best QB play.
I would be happy to see us sign Ellingson. Ellingson, Bailey, Demski, Wolitarsky and a rookie like Agudosi or Blake Jackson? Sign me up.

I appreciate what Adams has done, but I agree with the team moving on. Over the last two seasons, he played 24 games and had <1k yards. 

Aging receiver? That always works out well for us. 

Reading this debate like:

Anyway, to get back on track, 20 days left until free agency. As far as I can tell from the roster on blue bombers.com and the free agent list on cfl.ca, here is where we are at:
Bold = confirmed signed
Plain = pending free agent
Italics = on roster, presumably signed but contract status not reported (any help to clarify would be appreciated)
Underlined = released
 
QB - D. Brown, Collaros, McGuire
RB - Augustine, Borsa, Harris, M. Miller, Oliveira
WR - Adams, Bailey, Demski, Grant, Jackson, Lawler, McKnight, O’Leary-Orange, Wolitarsky 
OL - Bryant, Burks, Couture, Desjarlais, Eli, Gray, Hardrick, Kolankowski, Neufeld, Richmond
DL - Antigua, Jeffcoat, Jefferson, Kongbo, Richardson, E. Rose, Sayles, Thomas, Walker, Wicker, Wilcots II
LB - Bighill, Briggs, K. Brown, Cadwaller, Gauthier, Hansen, Lowes, Maruo, Wilson
DB - Alexander, Alford, Darby, Ni. Hallett, No. Hallett, Hampton, Houston, Johnson, Jones, Kramdi, Matson, J. Miller, Nichols, W. Rose, Taylor, Thompson
K - Castillo, Crapigna, Liegghio, Mourtada
LS - Benson
 
Lots of big names still out there. Based on the cfl.ca page, 10 signings off of the free agent list and 30 pending free agents. However, only Saskatchewan with 15 signings has re-signed more than us so far. Everyone way behind. 
Apologies in advance for any misspellings, wrongly ID’d people, or players out of position, was going off the rostered lists. Proofreading and corrections appreciated. 

Farhan Lalji   ✔@FarhanLaljiTSN Some clarity this, #Elks did reach out to #Bombers for permission to speak to O’Shea about their GM/HC vacancies. O’Shea declined the opportunity to speak to them formally. Will be curious to see if he signs an extension in Wpg. @CFLonTSN https://twitter.com/friesensunmedia/status/1473084410601877510
That a boy Osh!

reaaaaaaally eh? good to know.

hey jamie nye, brendan mcguire, and luc mullinder: you're all absolutely brutal homers.

4 Stripes and no stars... if Saskatchewan ever needs a new provincial flag, all they need to do is modify an American flag and they're all set.

The manure trucks are going to be working overtime as they hunt down all those voters.

At the time, no one could have predicted Desjarlais and Couture would be shutdown interior linemen. I couldn't help remembering the year Mike Kelly lost 3 Canadian OL in free agency. That led to some pretty awful offensive lines. 

I did not know this fact. This fourth quarter comeback was the second largest fourth quarter come from behind victory in Grey Cup history!  https://www.thespec.com/sports/ticats/opinion/2021/12/12/cfl-grey-cup-game-hamilton-tiger-cats-winnipeg-blue-bombers.html
 
 

The Riders don't matter one iota today. Bombers are back to back champions after a dominant season. That is the only thing that matters. 

Can't say enough about the job that Kyle Walters has done. Of coarse this is just a small sample of what he's done.  But picking up Zach at the deadline last year was huge on us getting that Grey Cup win and then picking up Sergio Castillo under the gun this year again had a massive impact on us getting another Grey Cup win. These two moves can't be understated. 

This just in from 3downnation: the TiCats could go undefeated next season!

Pretty sure you have to take the kickoff with under 3 mins. No option.

That Cameo **** by the Tiger Can'ts is hilariously cringey.
That stripper at the club loves you too. 

Rider fans crying about Zach not having nice words about their organization. Do they really think there's a nation wide/league wide conspiracy against them? They're a total clown show of a team, organization, and fan base. They got a taste of success in the 2000's and went from lovable losers to insufferable winners. It became a fad to go and powerdrink at the games and be total assholes to visitors (source: me and people I know). They let what precious little success they had get to their heads and decided to act like entitled hillbillies who struck oil. They became the football beverly hillbillies but instead of being lovable Podunk idiots, they were like a truck full of dumb asses from Alabama who drove in from the mountains and are rude to the locals. There's a reason Zach has great things to say about Hamilton and not Saskatchewan. 
I hope for 2 things. I hope we win on Sunday, and, I hope we as a fan base stay the hell away from where the Rider fan base went. I hope we stay humble and the best fans in the country. F*** Saskatchewan and their pig fans. Zach is right, you and your club can pound sand. 

I hope CF is the Riders QB for the next 50 years. Go CF!

I’m glad they feel lucky to have him. If they’re complacent with CF in Saskatchewan we will continue to own them. No complaints here from me. 

Such a nice guy to turn down pizza for a year for pizza for the section! 

Fajardo said things "'didn't go their way". 
Are you ******* kidding me? LMAO
6 turnovers?
What does he want? 10? 😄

The “non-factor” put up 136yrds and a TD after not playing for a month….

Fajardo bitched about everything. Leaders lead by example. They don't push teammates over a cliff. 

The non factor Harris...woukd make a difference hahahahah...loserville cry all winter now...even with a gift from command center

4 Stripes 4 Ever, losers
