Milton isn't a RB, he's a FB. At least he has been in the past. But yeah, pretty clear LaFrance is going to be in the running for the starting job.

Montreal, yeah Ottawa? Not sure I see it. They traded Jackson + Williams for Shaw + Spencer, Kanneh for Jefferson and ... added some Canadian depth pieces? I don't love our day either. But meh.

Jacory Harris, I'm assuming.

So we only needed Hurl OR Briggs, no need for both, but you then mention a guy who plays the exact same position as both of them? That's very Floyd of you.

It's February.

I don't necessarily agree. He rotated with big money last year and we all thought it was no big deal. JT is a great player, but he's not an every down kind of guy. Butcher is not going to fill that role, if anything, Butcher is the kind of guy who comes in for Nevis. He's a nose tackle. We need a guy in that role. If it's Westerman, great. If not, we still have a question there.

Do they really go after Westerman then? Shologan, Klassen AND Westerman? Can't see it making sense.

Good grief guys, special teams Canadians have value too you know. He's still going to be making around $100k. Even Lochard made somewhere in that range last year. That's what Canadians get paid. Better get used to it.

I'm waiting to see the $ before I have an opinion.

He'd be a very good signing for us once Westerman is no longer available

Westerman close to signing with Alouettes Hurl close to signing with the WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS! lol fan base gonna lose it.

Ottawa LOVES receivers. I don't get it though. They have Juron Criner who could really use an elevated role in this offense and they still go out and get Shaw/Spencer to replace Williams/Jackson? So weird.

How? There's literally no cap savings to be had there.

Dennis to Saskatchewan

Toronto and Saskatchewan I'm guessing Saskatchewan I'm hoping Toronto

There are people on these forums who know factually that the Bombers are at least exploring the idea of LaFrance.

http://morningbigblue.com/community/chat/ I'll be in here talking to myself if any of you want to join me.

So it's literally just me then.

Mine still isn't. What browser are you folks using?

It's not working. Says something about not being connected to the node server.

As per all things official BIG NEWS to start the day!

If I was trying to explain why (without knowing the truth) Bennett would sign in Saskatchewan instead of here, it's pretty easy to make the point that he's got a more direct route to more reps in Saskatchewan.

The player has a choice in the matter too, you know.

You don't "choose" to leave him exposed, unless you're suggesting they should've dressed him for the final playoff game.
