Walters pre-draft media session coming up on Friday. He usually has some nuggets in there ("...this guy is not coming back..." "...we're close with that guy and will likely get something done...")

Was this already announced?? https://globalnews.ca/news/4920264/winnipeg-blue-bombers-re-sign-canadian-defensive-back-jeff-hecht-to-one-year-deal/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Several of those movies I would never watch in a million years.... Gross lists.

Oh please....anyone who considers spaceship races quality cinema does not get a vote...

Just this trailer looks super cheesy. I maintain FnF 6 (the second one with the Rock) is one of the best action movies ever made, right up there with Bad Boys 2....

I was thinking that earlier....that Stone does the same stuff Laine does, but also adds a heck of a lot more grit...

^^ Even by FnF standards, this looks SUPER cheesy....

I never knew how badly I wanted a guy named Scoot Simmons on the team until just now....

It's just beat to ignore that poster... Block is the best function....

Yeah, I would think Medlock is a no-brainer as best kicker of all time. You can have a dogfight between Cameron and Ryan for P, but Kicker has to be Medlock, I think...

WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed international quarterback Bryan Schor and international receiver Garrett Johnson, the team announced on Wednesday. Schor (6’2, 215, James Madison University, March 24, 1995 in Milford, Pennsylvania) played four seasons for the James Madison Dukes, completing 559 passes for 7,078 yards and 62 touchdowns. During his time at JMU, Schor set career records for passing touchdowns, passing yards, completions and total offense.

Johnson (5’11, 175, University of Kentucky, December 3, 1995 in Winter Garden, FL.) played four seasons for the Kentucky Wildcats, finishing with 156 receptions for 2,095 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. Johnson finished fourth in career receiving yards and fifth in receptions in the school’s history. In 2018, Johnson signed with the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent and spent the entire NFL pre-season with the club.

Miles was set to become a free agent next month. Miles has spent the past two seasons in Winnipeg after signing as a free agent prior to the 2017 season. He has recorded 26 special teams tackle and nine defensive tackles in 36 games over that span. Prior to signing in Winnipeg, Miles spent three seasons with the Toronto Argonauts after being selected 33rd overall in the 2014 CFL Draft. Through his five CFL seasons, Miles has recorded 67 defensive tackles, 42 special teams tackles, two sacks and one forced fumble in 76 career games.

the key is that the Bombers have known about this for awhile and have been planning for it. We'll be just fine...

It's good to have depth......

Michael Couture slotted in to be the new Bombers C, according to many Bombers beat writers....Gray likely 6th OL...

@DarrinBauming FollowingFollowing @DarrinBauming More Matthias Goossen will retire from pro football to pursue a career in police work back in his home province of British Columbia. There was a reason the #Bombers had a priority in securing Michael Couture last week prior to free agency opening. He’s likely the new starting centre.

WINNIPEG, MB., January 29, 2019 – Winnipeg Blue Bombers centre Matthias Goossen has informed the team he has decided to retire from professional football. Statement from Matthias Goossen: “After much prayer and consideration, I have decided to end my football career. Firstly, I want to thank my family, and especially my wife, for being a constant source of support over the course of my football career. I also want to thank my teammates who made my five years of playing professional football a true blessing, and am especially thankful for the brotherhood of offensive linemen who made it a privilege every day to come into work. I want to thank Coach O’shea and coach Marty Costello for being two of the best coaches I have ever had. The Blue Bombers organization has been great to me over these past 5 years, and I am so grateful to have played for a team that does so much for its players and community. Lastly, I want to thank the people of Winnipeg. I have met so many great people here and can say that this city has felt like home over my 5 seasons wearing the blue and gold.” Statement from Blue Bombers General Manager Kyle Walters: “First off, we would sincerely like to thank Matthias for his work and dedication to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. From the moment we drafted him in 2014, Matthias has shown tremendous professionalism both on and off the field. His work in the community is something we are very proud of, and he represented the Blue Bombers the right way. As far as our roster is concerned, Matthias was gracious enough to inform us of this decision quite some time ago, so we have been working accordingly. He is a fantastic young man, and we wish him all the best moving forward.” Goossen was originally selected by Winnipeg in the first round, second overall, in the 2014 CFL Draft. He dressed for 87 career regular season games, making 64 starts. He also started all four playoff games during his time with Winnipeg.

Good God in his high chair, Goossen retires....................... https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/01/29/matthias-goossen-announces-retirement/

I'm in...

This discussion could probably be moved to the WHL Moves To Winnipeg thread, but an interesting note that I got from someone who works for that The Rink company, is that these guys actually went to TNSE and asked for their blessing before making the move to bring in the Dub team, so there is that, at least...

Yeah, if I was living anywhere near the city, I'd get Dub seasons in a HEARTBEAT to go along with Bombers seasons...no question. It's phenomenal hockey...and the thought of Wpg getting a Mem Cup at some point....hooooo....that's good stuff.
