Houston you have a problem, you signed in Calgary 🤪
 
This is worse than the NHL Trade Deadline haha ...

Guys I’d like to see “re-signed”😁
WR/KR Janarion Grant
K Sergio Castillo
LB Malik Clements 
and possibly Hansen …
Also, any unexpected signing shockers (particularly for the Bombers, but also league wide) that anyone here can predict for today?

Certainly wasn’t on ours. Special teams was a huge problem. 

Live look at O'Day on the first day of Free Agency...

Haven’t heard one way or the other about Clements, but he’s another guy I’d like to see them bring back. He’s been steadily improving. 

I was once told by a very wise coach that when leaving an organization it's best to leave in a good frame of mind....Burning bridges do not do a thing except disconnect you from the great things that happened for you....Thinking back, there are a few players that have said things that they wish they never uttered....Deiter Brock was one that comes to mind when he 'slagged' Winnipeg with his comments...He said awhile ago that he regrets the comments but once said they're out there and hard to take back.....JJ is not in a good frame of mind and it's understandable...What really irks me is toads like Friezen who lap that kind of thing up and exploit the situation for cheap journalism...

you're one obtuse person... best kept secret doesn't mean he was intentionally held back. Just means that in my opinion (which is what IMO means...) is that the guy if given an opportunity could produce very well. And that's based on the few showings he has had. So yes I would rather a player who has shown glimpses over guys who can't play because they're hurt. This idea you have that the coaches make no mistakes is awful. Our coaches regularly dress players who don't take 1 single snap in a game. They waste roster spaces all the time. 

We have done this for at least the last two years with Jeffcoat - he hasn’t been able to stay healthy. His hip was bad from the jump last year. 
 
He isn’t getting any younger and doesn’t seem to be getting healthier. I hate it - but this just reality. 

nobody knew Strev had a broken bone (outside the team)....and he was still producing and effective...last yrs guys were not...I also think that the BA injury claim it happened in game was a load of crap, as you can clearly see it at end when he jumped up and celebrated....and regardless as if he was injured...it happened in-game and he showed no signs of being limited...not weeks leading up to the game and his status was in doubt..big difference...huge...those 2 comparisons really hold no weight or validity at all...Schoen himself even said he was shocked he got the nod, and totally unprepared to play....another huge difference....facts are facts...3 poor roster decisions, and 2 other questionable one's did us no favors for the biggest game of the yr

Yet he played a half injured Bighill in the most important game of the year.   

The 2024 season will be glorious if TO can't establish the run resulting in CK running for his life throwing up ducks sulking back to the sidelines standing alone arms crossed with that 'I'm a horrible teammate' glare of his.
Ahhhh one can dream.

The recruitment better be very good because a boat load of talent just left. If you think you are filling those holes with first year recruits you are high. The Argos have to get to work in FA or they are going to be left behind. That being said, I have never seen a team built in FA do very well.

Kyle Walters you absolute genius.    How lucky we are to have this guy as GM! 
 

Given their play last year are we sure about that?

I totally agree.  I was just curious why not many seem to be talking about Haba in Jeffcoat’s spot. Guy seems good last year.  And would be a lot cheaper I’m sure. 

Do we think Haba plays this year? He seemed to look awfully good when he filled in for Jeffcoat last year if I remember correctly.  

Beyond pumped! Best RB in the league, great human being, and local hometown boy too.   Those type of guys just don’t come along often.   
Wouldn’t surprise me at all if it’s cheaper than we’re all expecting too.   
Bet they still sign Schoen too, hoping Walters finds a way to work his magic!

Haven’t heard that he definitely is, just a lot of posters here talking like he is.  Maybe thinking if they were going to re-sign him they would have done it by now?
