I'd trade them the rights to last year's first round pick. They can wait on Mulumba.

Just like when Taman was with BB. Keep going Kyle. Take Desjardins to the cleaners on FA day.

First sentence does not compute...Taman would have traded our first round pick for Randle.

Bagg is a Band-Aid and Getzlaf is pushing 30.  They have McHenery, Etienne, Sisco, Thompson, Hargreaves and Anthony.  Not really an impressive group of receivers.  I just wouldn't be surprised if Sask at least puts an offer on the table and maybe makes the Bombers pay a little more.

 

Pushing 30 doesn't mean anything.  A lot of WR's in the CFL hit their prime around 30.  Doubt the Riders will be disappointed starting Taj Smith, Geroy, Getzlaf, and Bagg, with some new import taking the last job; and Etienne, Sisco, and McHenry filling out the backup slots.

Brock Ralph is 33. If we had kept him around he'd be breaking Ben Cahoun's records this year. Doh!!

 

Former CFL ILB Henoc Muamba's contract with the Colts is for three years and includes $107,000 guaranteed.

 

It's a solid sum for a player GM Ryan Grigson is essentially signing off the street. (That's how ex-CFL players are viewed in contract terms by NFL teams.) Muamba was a high-impact middle linebacker for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and is only 25 years old. Always casting a wide net for talent, Grigson unearthed Jerrell Freeman from similar obscurity and he's become a high-end NFL starter.

 

Lol - "similar obscurity".  That's probably what Americans thought when the LA Galaxy signed Beckham. 

Hargraves? Really? Arron hargraves aka slower then stoddard?!

Is Hargreaves still in the CFL?   I thought he had taken that job as a speed tester of molasses.

Oh the pessimistic meanderings of the jaded bomber fanbase..

believe that walters, if anyone, knows the kids value..

 

Jade isn't here anymore. We are now the "rory'ed" fan base.

A number of import defensive stars will surely be sought after when the market opens as well. All-Stars like Toronto Argonauts DB Patrick Watkins, BC Lions DE Keron Williams, and Winnipeg Blue Bombers BD Jovon Johnson - a former Most Outstanding Defensive Player - are all available to the highest bidder.

 

 

what does BD means? Beaten Defender?

Big disappointment 

If we could land Butler and Bourke...man our suck quotient drops considerably, and losing Muamba to the NFL doesn't hurt as bad.

Expect him in Winnipeg doing what? Selling used cars at Jim Gauthier Chevrolet? 

Bourke must really love living in Montreal. Why else would you re-sign a day before you would become the biggest name available in FA?

Ask Mike Reilly

Isn't it refreshing to be going into free agency this year and actually have something to talk about....

Jovon was actually pretty good at safety... Definitely an improvement over Cauchy...

To be fair though, Pontbriand would have been an improvement over Cauchy...

Yawn

Laurent was a Tillman special. I don't think Sleepy Joe even looked at him, he was locked on Poblah, who at the time did look compelling,given how good he can look in practice and at a combine event.

Riders already have Bagg and Getzlaff.  We've got Watson who plays only half the year and.....? Kohlert could be an all star this year. He's got Rick House type instincts and Joe Pop hands. Walters should give this guy a big raise.

I am interested in what Brescacin brings to the table. Methinks that he's a guy Walters wanted in the 2012 draft but was over-ruled by Mack. We've now dumped Aprile, Poblah, Dicroce, Etienne and may not get Kohlert back.  With Watson usually getting banged up by week five, there's a lot of room at NI receiver right now.  Maybe Ismael Bamba gets another shot? 

Wish he was also wearing that uniform. What a classic. 

I'd actually avoid trading for Glenn now.  We have Willy and I think we do everything we can to surround him with talent.  Free agency, the draft, we want to give Willy the best chance to succeed.  I don't want to give up an asset for Glenn then plunk Willy on the bench.  I'd consider Glenn a target for our backup spot, if Ottawa wants us to toss them a late rounder or something inconsequential.

 

To add onto this now, Penton says we're not considering trading for Glenn. (though I am assuming that isn't a finite decision)

Dumb ass Desjardins made his poo bed, now he can sleep and stink in it.

@VegaJason: Alright we've got our field general inBucknorw_Willy so the pieces are falling into place. #IGF2014 #trueblue

And with Matt Bucknor anchoring our defense that makes us pretty much unstoppable this year. LOB - Legion of Bucknor 2014!

Proving they don't quite have it right, though, #Bombers don't make the GM available today.

Mr. Sunshine at it again.

I hope that Willy comes here and plays balls to the wall.

So is this good? With Poblah and Etienne gone we've lost a big chunk of NI depth. That being said neither contributed much.

Here's a heart-warming thought - in 2010 Drew was the third string QB behind two former Blue Bomber legends - Chase Clement and Russ Michna. Dum Dum Dum!!!! Now THAT's a pedigree....LOL

Those names are in alphabetical order...not a depth chart.

Fair enough. I would hope he could have beat out Michna.
