"Maybe a bigger crowd on day 1" There were thousands on day 1 last year. I think that deserves a bit more credit than a "maybe"

I feel like Picard is the epitome of a Grey Cup year acquisition. Bridging the gap until Goossen is ready.

"we'll give details on access for fans that plan on attending in the coming days" So basically, sounds like they're not quite sure yet.

There are positives and negatives to that, to be honest. I'd love it, personally - provided the stream was actually done properly. But I can see why a lot of people wouldn't.

Imagine if they live streamed it.

They just tweeted me that it will be "open to the public but in a different way than previous years"

Closing training camp to the public would be one of the biggest mistakes this club has made in recent memory.

Let's just wait and see if they make arrangements for seating.

They can't hold it there this year.

yup I don't get the impression these guys are at that level, but they're better than most lately. Especially Waggoner.

I'm pretty confident that Cotton will win the job out of camp, but if he doesn't, all the better.

I don't think Penton made it up but I'd be very surprised if it came from the Winnipeg office. The story probably is less "Winnipeg shopping Chris Greaves" and more "CFL teams shopping for Chris Greaves"

Wouldn't be a fan of trading Greaves unless the return was similar to what Montreal got for Bomben. That being said, Greaves needs a bounce back year.

I'll predict Waggoner goes for a third and Chapman for a fifth. I think we'll get one of them.

Bombers want to sign everyone to 12 year deals I get what you're saying, but CFL clubs definitely stagger contract lengths with the intention of making sure they don't have too many free agents in any given season. So maybe 2017 offseason worked better than 2018 for the club.

Bombers may have only wanted him to sign a two year deal.

Justin Dunk reporting Chungh actually signed a three year deal, so that's interesting.

Not surprised at Goard. Booker surprises me a bit but hey, if they found an upgrade, I'm good with that too. Gives us a bit more roster space for camp too, I think.

Hope everything is good with Burke's personal life.

Apparently he's got a rep of being lazy. Imagine if he actually starts trying?

Now that you mention it, I think he has been on our negotiation list for a while. I think I recognize the name from the article Tait put out a few years back with names on it. I'll check edit: nope, nevermind. wasn't him.

30 in one year is actually the second highest single season total since they started recording the stat. The year he did it, the next closest was Cordarro Law with 22. Not knowing anything about this guy I immediately had him pegged as a middle linebacker but I have no idea where he's gonna line up. Rush end?

Jesus christ ... This guy ranks 22nd all time in NCAA history with 50 tackles for a loss. And he only played two years. The all time leader is Khalil Mack with 75 and he played four full years. Other names with 50? Von Miller. Ndamukong Suh. Phillip Hunt.

Pretty sure this is the guy Jeff Fisher put the blond wig on in practice to emulate Clay Matthews when the Rams were prepping to play the Packers

hey, if I can make a few bucks playing fantasy sports, I'm sure there are plenty of other people on here who could make more than a few.
