I agree.. As the team that has, without a doubt, the worst canadian talent depth in the land... We simply cannot afford to kick players to the curb and hope to replace them.. We need to keep them around in case we don't land a better LB/DB to play teams or OL to push the guys currently rostered.. In an ideal world, sure we will replace the backup backups etc with better talent but one never knows.. If that means keeping them on the roster a bit longer, so be it.. I don't necessarily believe that to be true either. We have the worst top end Canadian talent in the league, but as far as depth goes, we got a lot more out of our backend guys than most teams would.

I'm not saying they need to have their roles back, I'm saying there's room for them somewhere. Guys like West, Thomas and Lucas serve purposes. Maybe we can bump them down the depth chart but not off the roster entirely. Same with the OL.

Turning over 50% of our Can-con is a sure recipe for failure. Besides ... Newman, Sherman, JFG, Kohlert, Watson, Bucknor, Jones, Briggs, Pontbriand, Goossen, Neufeld, Greaves, Hajrullahu, Thomas, Lucas, Morley, West ... That's 17 guys right there and while they're not all "stars" you can certainly find roles for them on a roster.

No you don't!

I'm confused by this. Today is the 16th? And I wouldn't automatically say a 2nd year backup 4th rounder would necessarily get a bonus.But what's the significance of the 15th? Someone posted or tweeted that Dec 15 is the date where contracts must be signed if the team wants that bonus money to count towards the current years cap.And here's what Cameron told me on Twitter: @Darren_Cameron: @garrettbillan1 appreciate it. And yes, it was done by Dec 15. Oh cool. You learn something every day. Thanks!

We could literally change 10% of the 44 man roster and become a championship contender. The volume of the moves isn't what matters. It's the quality of the moves they do make.

Would imagine this one had very little to do with using existing cap space. Probably just hammering out an extension on a guy they wanted to keep.

Official as per Bombers Twitter account. Length of deal not disclosed.

How realistic is an emergency call up for Morrissey?

Impossible to say as of right now. I think anything, including moving down in the draft, is possible.

What's a girl?

Sorry, if that was happening or not happening, it would be something our CEO would announce publicly. But I love the rampant speculation! Rampant is what we do. Yes, I see that... in droves. Let me rephrase the question, because I'm mildly curious. Do you know (either way) the answer to my question? Kim, be very careful before (if) answering this question. LOL. Don't worry about me, I didn't fall off the turnip truck last night. And as such, my participation in this thread shall end. But I do look forward to the iron-clad declarations of what my silence means... I know that's also a popular topic around here. It can only mean one thing. We've traded EJ Kuale for Ben Heenan.

no

Chance or no chance, it was obvious right from the get go that he was not the right coach for that team.

Any comment on whether or not the club is ditching the current uniforms in favor of the royal blues next season?

Way to go! Congratulations!

Still, you never know. He was DC for Cal when Tedford was the boss there.
