For those who went this weekend, please share your thoughts.  What was good, not so good, etc.

I call this PR 
Edit:  To be clear, I didn't intend the PR comment to be negative thing.  PR is public relations,  and he is managing the relationship with the public here.

Here's a preview of what to expect.  Hope to see many of you guys out there.

Hearing from people who have talked directly to JW since the signing, this was ultimately the biggest and most deciding factor for him. 

I hope Denmark ends up on our team in some capacity at some point. Smart player like that seems like he'd be made for coaching. 

If only it was that easy.

From my observations over the years, an effective DL is more about servicable guys who can rotate than it is about dominant individuals

Winnipeg Blue Bombers agree to terms with CFL all-star cornerback Chris Randle

WINNIPEG, MB., January 23, 2018 –    The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has agreed to terms with international cornerback Chris Randle on a two-year contract. Randle was scheduled to be a free agent next month.
The Utah State product will enter his fifth season with Winnipeg in 2018, coming off an all-star season in which he was also named the team’s most outstanding defensive player. Randle finished the 2017 campaign with 60 defensive tackles, four special teams tackles, one sack, five interceptions, and two defensive touchdowns.
“Simply put, Chris Randle was one of those players that we knew we needed to work something out with prior to February 13,” said General Manager Kyle Walters. “He is a leader in everything he does. He’s coming off the best season of his career and we’re looking forward to more of that in 2018. He’s a special player and an invaluable asset to our locker room, and I’m glad we were able to retain him.”

Randle has now played in 89 career regular season CFL games over six seasons, including 58 with Winnipeg. He has amassed 233 defensive tackles, 56 special teams tackles, three sacks, 15 interceptions, four forced fumbles and four defensive touchdowns.

The majority here had spoken.  Nothing anyone can do now.
