I'm in the "maybe he's got upside?" camp so I think this is a decent signing for them.

He hit the door on the way out. Fined the maximum by the CFL. 

Offence and defense. 

done

Gerry James was a true super athlete. The media made a big thing about Bo Jackson & Deion Sanders playing MLB & football the same season. Think of pro football then followed by pro hockey with the Leafs in the same season. Perhaps even the same day. I believe I read a story somewhere that the Bombers won the 1961 GC in OT at CNE Stadium in Toronto. That night, James was in a Maple Leafs uniform playing defense at Maple Leaf Gardens. Back when the NHL only had 6 teams. Leafs Coach Punch Imlach liked him so much that he kept a spot open for him. 
I read Gerry James book. In it, he described his dislike for Bud Grant. How he felt he disrespected Canadians on the Bombers by his treatment of them. How Americans made more money than the Canadians & how cheap Grant was. James left the Bombers in a contract dispute & finished his career with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. For decades, the relationship between the Bombers & James was scarred. I think things were better after Wade Miller took over as President & really wanting him back as a Bomber alumni but I don't think things were ever totally repaired. 

I mean, it was the 50s... You guys had just come back from the war....

Overpaying for Nic Moore that offseason was a big deal for the turnaround too.
He wasn’t the greatest or anything but it showed the club had changed mentality and was willing to open the wallet.
It was the first time in like a decade a sought-after FA didn’t turn them down. 

love me some big Stan but I think the very first piece of the turnaround was the 2013 Alex Hall for Neufeld trade.
Hall put up seven sacks for the Roughriders in nineteen games.  In return, we got a Canadian OL starter for a decade.
I think that was Walters' first trade.  Nice debut.

Anyone who's got the pride and drive to succeed at this level is gonna have serious feelings when the day comes to shut er down.  His onfield contributions are what matters to me, not his exit interview.
Thanks for being a great Bomber, Mr. Jeffcoat.

will he wind up anywhere? Is there any money left out there for him?
Maybe it'll be a storybook Clarence Denmark kinda thing where he comes back to us midseason as an injury replacement and tears it up. 
that would be a bummer because it means one of our battleship receivers is on the sidelines but man would I be pumped for a Sheed comeback in blue.

Gonna be weird seeing Rasheed somewhere else.

Got some scrub, not sure if knows anything about ST but I'm sure he'll learn.  I think his name is Mike Miller or something.

No hate. When the end is near youve gotta make as much bank as you can. Miss you Yoshi.

God damn it everyone, just let me freak out!!!

Schiltz tho could be a capable starter for a number of games and actually produce...especially with talent around him and a decent line..Prukop not so much

Sean Thomas Erlington to Montreal. 
Als going national at RB with Antwi and STE?

He is an internet troll with a press pass. 

OMG, Crisis in the linebacking corps!  Hey, this sports writing stuff is easy!

Lots of guys just play because they’re good at it, not because they enjoy it. Most of them just won’t say it out loud because of the fan reaction lol it’s just the reality of things, I’m sure lots of lawyers/doctors/whatever else don’t love their job either. To suggest otherwise is just oblivious. Just because pro sports gets glamorized doesn’t mean everyone who participates enjoys it. 
 
Hell, I have a good job that pays me on par with all but the high end CFL players but I’m not excited to be the best at it and I sure as hell wouldn’t do it for free. It’s just a job. 

Judge is better than Bighill imo at least now.

Sounds like one of the stages of grief .. acceptance. 
"I've come to terms with the fact I'm playing in Saskatchewan this year".

Live look at O'Day on the first day of Free Agency...
