This was Bob's first tweet to get things going between the two of them.

Bombers are bringing back National olineman Brandon Sanford out of UBC. He was an early training camp cut for the team last season.

Me after hearing of Bailey's signing:

I just plowed through season 1 of The Outlaws on Prime starring Christopher Walker and Stephen Merchant. I can't wait to dive into season 2.

Lofton wasn't a pending FA as he as already a free agent.

The guy doesn't lack any confidence.

Kyle Walter's presser was a pretty good listen. He talked about how the Nationalized American rule didn't really play into how they are building the roster. He mentioned they are going to bring in QBs to compete for the short yardage job. These are going to be a different group than what would be competing to be Zach's backup. https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/02/14/kyle-walters-february-14-2023/ Dammit wrong thread

Was O'Day sleeping?

I know there could be some confusion as the Bombers didn't announce his re-signing along with all the others at the end of the season. But I trust the CFL transactions page over the Bombers' website. As well, our man Ed Tait has him listed on the roster; Running backs/Fullbacks Under contract: RB Brady Oliveira*, RB/SB Greg McCrae, RB Johnny Augustine*, FB Mike Miller*, FB Konner Burtenshaw* Pending Blue Bomber free agents: none https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/02/10/first-10-free-agency-preview/

Chris Jones is gonna Chris Jones:

I want all the Bomber players to be extremely gruntled.

Looks like the Bombers reworked Brandon Alexander's contract according to the CFL transactions page. My guess is he got a bump in salary as he only made 77k last season.

Don't teams have territorial rights to junior players anymore or does Michael O'Shea not quality because he played university ball?

They can't even pick up Tyler Witt, the other oline Bomber practice guy from last season. He has signed in the XFL.

Just curious, anyone ever hear if Walters tries to work within salary limits for each position group? Even if he doesn't, the team is limited in terms of what they can pay QB2.

That's because there is only 3 episodes so far. LOL Fourth one comes out on Friday.

Are you referring to Stove? He shud have been used to the cold having been from Chicago and playing in Minnesota.

For any of you oline fans out there:

It reminds me of the old Daily Show with Jon Stewart correspondent reports.

Also, teams are still allowed to go over the cap. What's the problem if the Bombers go over the cap by say 80k? They just need to pay a fine of 80k. What if it allows them to win the Grey Cup again? Does anyone remember/ care which Grey Cup champs have gone over the cap?

Yup, and prolly no money left for a high priced kicker. My guess is if Leggs loses the field goal job it will be to a Global player as they are still relatively cheap.
