former Hamilton LB Simoni Lawrence signs with the Vikings.

Special teamer? I think he could compete at safety. Saskatchewan seemed to think he'd be a viable option to replace Butler. At worst, he's a beast ST guy.

Bombers sign NI DB Graig Newman from Saskatchewan

Chris Milo re-signs in Saskatchewan

Super glad the Bombers aren't interested in Nick Moore. That's not how I'd prefer to spend our money.

What's funny is that Wiecek hasn't blocked me yet. I'd think he would've done it a long time ago.

Can someone please translate it into English? I don't speak whatever language Bruce's message is in.

According to Arash Madani That's epic. What a massive downgrade.

would you even read the answer though? your track record on these things is pretty shaky. Sometimes I don't read everything you type because you've been wrong so often and your obnoxious too. My track record? I'll put mine against yours any day. Lets review. I was against Mack in his last two seasons. Against the Jade and the Pencer draft picks. Wanted Laurent instead of Kito because we needed a DT more than yet another young receiver. Your track record is exactly the opposite. Loved Mack. Argued with anyone who didn't like the Jade or the Pencer draft picks. I can't remember if you wanted Kito or not, but I'm going to guess you supported that move too cuz you loved everything the great and powerful Mack did. How do the cherries that you're picking taste? Everyone can play this game, we've all been right and we've all been wrong.

I don't know why you keep bringing up this false statement that the Redblacks have a blank chequebook because their roster is empty. They have 45 guys under contract right now and about as many big ticket players as guys like Edmonton or Winnipeg or hey, even BC. Glenn, Burris, Shologan, Fraser, Hage, Pottinger and Eppele don't play for free. Ottawa has a bunch of money tied up in contracts already.

Sears. For a week at least

I like it. A lot. I don't know where he fits in, but that can sort itself out. Always thought Randle was a baller in Calgary.

We must have a LOT of cash to spend tomorrow

Huclack ...

when you said tomorrow, do you mean before the free agency ? or when the free agency kicks in? I have no idea. Just casual conversation with one of my friends, I didn't really get into details. have heard Kohlert and Swayze Waters, fwiw... those were the other two I heard also ... but I'm sure you heard it from the same place I did.

I don't get where this idea is coming from. They've already tied up a bunch of cash. They killed any flexibility they may have in terms of cap space when they brought in guys like Shologan, Hage, Burris, Glenn and Fraser. They're probably paying more for their QBs than any team in the league. Ottawa doesn't have a ton to spend.

FWIW, somebody told me this morning that they expected three definite signings by Winnipeg tomorrow. One of them was Diamond Ferri. I didn't get it at the time, because he wasn't scheduled to be an FA.

Seriously? I don't like him, nor do I think he's all that good. Neither do I.

expect him to end up in Winnipeg

That's a shame. The Bombers really would be able to make a compelling offer with their freed up money, I'm sure.

May as well ... As for the Bombers, I'm predicting three notable signings. Rory Kohlert, Swayze Waters and one of the big four non-imports (Laurent, Butler, Bourke and Emry) with my money being on Bourke.

I don't doubt they're interested, but I'd say this is one Saskatchewan guy where we actually have the advantage. Playing time + his girlfriend = him coming back here
