Alexander can play anywhere and I wouldn't be shocked if he replaces Randle on the boundary.

4 picks in first 23. We've had decent luck in the middle rounds too. Hamilton has 5 picks in the first 22. BC doesn't pick until 24th.

If you ever wanted to know if tampering was alive and well, just look at all the signings the day or two before free agency opens. The agents know exactly what each player is going to get offered when the gun goes off.

Sorry, that was for all picks. We'll probably have at least 3 on our roster.

Need about 2 receivers, a DT and 3 DB's with CFL experience IMO to start with. I expect they will add an experienced OL as well to compete for an interior spot or 6th role. Assuming no moves are made involving the Bombers vets under contract, a pretty safe assumption, the Bombers have about $1.5 million in wiggle room to add in free agency, assuming signing two first round picks (likely to cost $250,000-$300,000).

There's a lot of junk DE's on the market. Many will be available in a couple months for quite cheap. Leonard is part of that group.

Interested to see where Demski ends up. Inconsistent but still a NI who put up 800 yards from scrimmage.

Last spring we visited my in-laws in Mesa. It was in the low 20's everyday and sunny. We had the gated community pool to ourselves. Our nicest mild summer days are basically winter to them.

All the snowbirds I know around Phoenix would rather donate a kidney than drive to Tempe to sit outside in 60 degree weather.

Everyone has a lot of money to spend. Most teams are going into free agency with about half of a roster. Ottawa and Winnipeg have far few roster spots open with far more starters returning. BC is on the extreme opposite end. It also isn't a hard cap so everyone has almost endless opportunity to maneuver .

I think we need more of a slot type. Posey and Adams would be redundant.

More than half of BC's roster are free agents. They have a lot to spend.

Only if the Bombers went against the league directive on off-season bonuses before the CBA is settled.

Truly terrible. They might want to force teams to blitz now since their QBs can’t hit any windows in coverage. In the highlights all the passing plays they showed were tremendous catches by the receivers.

Based on what? I don’t think you’ll see more than an insignificant increase, like 2-3% at most.

It might but have to factor in that signing one of those guys means you essentially have to play rookies in 4 other spots on your roster since they will make about $300,000 more than Nichols. If Calgary drops out of BLM sweepstakes you know it’s not worth it.

What kind of psychedelics did they put in their tea to come up with this ****? 28 yard line? Are they sure it should be 10 yards for a first down? Maybe it should be 7.33.

There's actually a decent group of value LB's with some CFL experience. Maleki Harris is a guy to watch.

Good God how are they going to officiate this? Why can't they just play football? Wait until there's 40 penalties in a game and half of them are for illegal defensive formations.

I think Randle’s money (or at least the difference in paying him and a younger DB) is switching sides, from D to O. Can’t defend the pass anyway with the PI rules, why spend on it?

That’s exactly right and speaks to how this team has been managed. There’s a very high likelihood that we will be dressing 6 OL who won’t be strangers, even if they haven’t been starters yet.

I think it's quite likely that only one of Neufeld, Goossen or Chungh is on our team next year. Demski might be back but only with a pay cut. Bombers are going to go hard after import receivers. They have a lot of draft picks too to backfill depth.

2020 and 2021 1st round picks, 2022 3rd round pick that becomes 1st round if Lapo wins a Grey Cup with the Riders in 19, 20 or 21. That would be my offer. The only reason I care about Lapo heading elsewhere at this juncture is he knows all the secrets that would be useful to another team in free agency, draft etc.

Likely protection from the Riders pursuing termination and clawing back money/benefits/bonuses he was already paid in the case he resigned and then took a coaching job outside the CFL.

The Riders couldn't have held Jones back if they wanted to. Jones could resign and take a job anywhere else in the world. The only reason CFL teams can restrict movement of personnel within their league are the league by-laws. As far as I know the CFL and NFL have no agreement in regards to respecting clauses in coaching or management contracts. They do have agreement in regards to player contracts.
