Mr. Perfect

The more this plays out, the more I'm tempted to say to hell with it and pull the offer off the table if I was Walters and spend the money elsewhere.

Would LOVE this.

Yeah it's great Nieswander has an arm. Too bad he can't read a defence to save his life, or throw the ball accurately.

Neiswander is not in Willy's league by a long shot. He's still very raw and very flawed in his game. Don't want him here whatsoever.

Two plus an option is typically the standard.

Montreal. Zurkowski said the Als would be trying for him as well.

You know, that feeling we had with Brian Clark, Richard Karikari, Greg Carr, and Marcellus Bowman where we were given every reason to believe a signing was coming soon and time kept on dragging on and on with new news until a press release came out from a different team saying they had signed the player in question? Not that losing out on Henry would be a crushing blow with Willy still due to hit free agency, but it would still suck in terms of optics for the same thing to repeat itself.

Think anyone has an old Khari Stampeders jersey kicking around anywhere? Dunigan might if you try contacting him on Twitter.

Though hearing quotes like this certainly help...."If wherever you put me equates to wins, I will do it." Hi Jonathan Hefney Ed Tait ‏@WFPEdTait1m #Bombers Banks: If wherever u put me equates to wins, I will do it. Forget the stats. I have enough of those. I’m all about the winning. #bn

Andrew Harris ‏@andrewharris3310m All the best @24Banks. Unreal guy in the locker room, great teammate and leader.. And absolute BEAST on the field!

Korey Banks ‏@24Banks12m @HenryBurris lets make it happen HANK

Two of which are soon to be free agents, and the other can't stay healthy.

Not a big fan of this. Granted Kito's time here has been a bit of a let down but I'm not particularly a fan of giving up a young non import for an aging import. I'd hate (and wouldn't be surprised to see) Kito do well with the system that B.C. has and Lulay throwing him the rock.

Milt Stegall ‏@MiltStegallTSN1m The #Bombers will soon be getting a Quarterback on offense and defense Henoc putting pen to paper?

Big Willy Signing?

Agreed fully.

From Paul Wiecek's article in the Free Press this morning "The other quarterback option on the table for the Bombers right now is Drew Willy, who the Saskatchewan Roughriders have soured on and are not expected to offer a contract extension in advance of free agency. Sources say McManus is a big supporter of the Saskatchewan backup, believing him to be more physically gifted than Collaros and a more "pure" quarterback, even though Willy is mostly untested in his pro career." Full article can be seen here.

Hard to argue with the results. Hell he made Kerry Joseph look like a damn good QB. That in itself should count for something.

If he makes the Chiefs I think it would be a great fit. He fits the mold of what a slot receiver is in the NFL these days and with how the Chiefs and Alex Smith run their offense, if given a legit chance I wouldn't be surprised to see him do reasonably well for himself.

Farhan Lalji ‏@FarhanLaljiTSN 3m Confirmed - the #Bombers have made a substantial multi-year offer to Henry Burris. #CFL

Farhan Lalji ‏@FarhanLaljiTSN 4m Confirmed: #Bombers have hired Gary Etchevery as their new DC. Deal is done

Not really sure why people would be offended or surprised for that matter with Collaros' choice to go to Hamilton. Their coach has a proven track record and is a great offensive mind, and their team is ready to contend for a championship right now. It would have been an easy choice for me as well if I was in his shoes.

So there you go. We were never really in it. You can put the tin foil hats away now folks. Nothing Walters could have done.

Darrin Bauming ‏@DarrinBauming57s MT @TSNScianitti: Collaros: "Who [Austin] worked with, obviously the number the QBs under him have put up... it was kind of a no brainer"

Multiple tweets appearing now saying the Montreal is likely to take a good run at Burris as well.
