Looks like you had the numbers more or less bang on, but they didn’t cut the four “no shows”, probably just suspended Fayad, DL Jordan Lewis, DL David Green, Randolph, WR Bryce Mitchell, WR Keontaye Thompson, K Jose Borregales and …. Anthony Bennett

100% we’re reading too much into this Players will get paid for promo appearances, that doesn’t mean some players won’t still volunteer their time and that doesn’t mean businesses won’t pay other players for things they do on their own.

They do that for free

The funny thing is, this is exactly the kind of stuff a good reporter would learn and ask about. **** are they ever lazy

Impossible to simplify it that much

True but I’d rather win cups

Milt Stegall looks pretty good

Brand new turf, brand new team, brand new game for a lot of these guys, I would assume the coaching staff isn’t asking them to go 0 to 100 and risk injury on day one. We know our staff looks at so much more than their on-field stuff, these guys are going to make an impression or get a chance to for sure, but I doubt it’s balls to the wall right out of the gate.

Not sure what else you’re going to expect from rookie camp day one, I would assume it’s mostly conditioning drills and very half effort reps

Did it? I dunno man it’s the first day of training camp I’m blacking out from excitement

Interesting that according to 3DN, 50k of Brady’s money is the not against the cap, promo stuff

Dru Brown may have something to say about that

Rourke claimed by NYG

I’d be shocked if it happened - Rourke was pretty outspoken about the way this was all handled, it‘d be a real “money talks” situation if he were to turn around and sign with a team that tried to bury it

If you guys think there are actually going to be any live 100% effort one on one reps against roster players, you’re nuts lol He’s going to go out there, run a few routes, maybe have Jordan Younger suit up and let the seniors give it all they got a couple times and the rest of the time it will literally be 0% serious As an aside, Bombers made a whole bunch of moves yesterday/today. Release DB Anthony Blue, signed a whole whack of Americans. DB CJ Siegel LB Dylan Moses LB John Petrishen LB Tre Thomas OL Chidi Okeke

No interest in Menard. I’d rather we go three American rotation off the edges and rotate Canadians in the one DT spot, with Hubert maybe filling an emergency role as a guy who could take a snap or two anywhere. Makonzo is a guy I’d be interested in, pending knowledge of why he was released in Edmonton. If he just got lost in the wash there after his injury, bring him in. If it was anything personality related, no thanks.

Of course they hate the pick, it didn’t really make sense in the fourth round.

I think Clercius and MCI make the AR this year and maybe Samson, although I don’t see them wanting to have 3 Canadian D tackles. That’s good enough for me. Stick Wallace on the PR, hope he develops for 2025. The rest, we’ll see. Maybe Hubert blows them away at camp and gets Bennett out of here as a rotational piece.

Invitation to mini camp is not training camp

Bombers pick OL Michael Giannisantetokounmpo

Teams who find gems in unexpected spots are teams that stay winners

Personally, I’m stoked they picked Manu. You never know.

Friendly reminder a kicker went before a player John Hodge mocked 2nd overall Gimme some Kail Dava or a guy like Daniel Johnson for a you never know pick Or a long snapper, sure

I mean I’m a big Wallace guy but that seems bonkers

Friendly reminder John Hodge mocked Melique Straker at 2
