Janarion Grant has always been a late signing. Until such time as he is gone that's a non-story.

He's no longer under contract with us for the season, and we haven't signed him. it's not official but the writing is on the wall I would think.
Writing was on the wall when he didn't play the Grey cup. Maybe even sooner to be honest.

Yeah I only started watching the last 5 minutes because I saw the score was tied a d it only reaffirmed my belief that CFL rules are vastly superior. That ending and ot drrraaaagggggeeeeedddddd on and made what could have been a super exciting dramatic finish seem like a chore.

I knew Taylor Swift would win the Super Bowl. They showed her over the end of the play really
disgusting right? there's the players on the field making the play and celebrating that they've won the super bowl... but quick! cut to taylor swift! I got nothing against that whole sideshow other that not caring about it at all, but come on, that moment is about the players not the celebrities watching.

Front 7 was always going to come down to the scouting department doing their jobs and finding some fresh bodies who can play.

Not taking any sides here, but what both Andrew Harris and Jeffcoat have mentioned is not that they were being moved on from, but that they weren’t told in a timely fashion.
But doesn't that just show how self absorbed these guys are? Bombers gotta get like 70 bodies in camp, that takes more effort than hand holding players they're planning on moving on from.

Stupid ass article from Friesen, what else is new. Love me some Jeffcoat, but is he really that startled at the thought that his team might have other priorities when he’s the one who openly expresses how much he’s been debating retirement?
Reality is often hard for athletes to face.

Gimme a break. best kept secret in the league. lol. Yea...he was so good that we dared not play him nearly all season for fear that the secret of his dominance would be revealed. He was developing nicely but show me what production makes you feel he was the best kept secret in the league. That is straight hyperbole. Let's not make him into a superstar that we held out of the lineup because he isn't. He is a guy that arguably may have offered a slight upgrade over an injured player in hindsight. Is the argument du jour that playing BOLO more over Bailey would have won us the Grey Cup?
you're one obtuse person... best kept secret doesn't mean he was intentionally held back. Just means that in my opinion (which is what IMO means...) is that the guy if given an opportunity could produce very well. And that's based on the few showings he has had. So yes I would rather a player who has shown glimpses over guys who can't play because they're hurt. This idea you have that the coaches make no mistakes is awful. Our coaches regularly dress players who don't take 1 single snap in a game. They waste roster spaces all the time.

There is months to go before TC. Not that late in the offseason as well. Teams have not committed all their money at this point of the season unless they are fools.
Plus, cfl cap only matters at the end

Losing BOLO will bite us in the ass about as much as losing Danny Vandervoort did... not the least bit. Canadian receivers... ick.
BOLO IMO was the bes5 kept secret in the league. That guy can play and was a shame that with everybody hurt he didn't get used in the Grey cup.

Fact is that bighill is barely fast enough these days when 100%. Dinged at all his play drops off a cliff. Should have been out 100%. And schoen wasn't practicing at all... another should have been outm and Bailey was clearly hurt, should have been sat. But really with the receivers you want to play one dinged guy fine, but you can't do 3.

Sure...however at what point they are is also very highly debateable. I will go with the coach's call on that because everyone outside of that dressing room is only talking out their ass. He saw how they were moving in practice. None of us did.
Well then coach needs his eyes checked because those guys never should have been on the field in the Grey cup.

Pretty sure that Hardrick was on the limp, probably a few more. It's playoff time, if you are going to field only a team where a player is at full health you will be sitting most of your starters. As a coach, if a player says he can go and is medically cleared you play him because fully healthy does not really exist that time of year.
There is a whole lot of room between fully healthy and able to play at the necessary level....

Pass on Jeffcoat, great player just can't stay healthy. Unless he will take a good haircut be a depth guy....which with his talent would be tough.
He doesn't need to be a depth guy, just needs some depth behind him that can take meaningful, impactful snaps.

Rider's loading up...Carney now...guy would have looked good here.....they trying to buy a one yr turn around and curious still on the Oullette and now Carney numbers, as if they higher price targets too...they will have next to nothing for depth.....I sure hope that we didn't sacrifice defensive help for the big offensive salaries, and that we have a plan/idea that some the new recruits, and a couple holdovers can step up...Hold overs not being Bennett..Thoms...Schmeckle....because if they are the plan, and nobody new steps up or gets a legit shot...we gonna be a hurting defensive unit and will need to throw up 35+ points a game
Thinking our depth on d comes from recruiting players.

Gotta be a rookie I’d think. That Texada they signed yesterday has some pedigree
I'm not crazy, he has been here before and maybe more than once?

Honestly with the stupid amounts of money being thrown out right now I suspect there's going to be some absolute steals for deals as fa drags on.
