sweep the leg

JJ Taylor and Ben Dooley added to the retirement list. Not surprised at all about Taylor. I had high hopes for Dooley though. https://www.bluebombers.com/2026/04/30/blue-bombers-transactions-april-30/?fbclid=IwdGRjcARggtlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEebRu7ZKAn2X_j4OYvN8zIlkqIhJEj7_66U_gcCHXrSVo5qWlsAnptUWdhCcU_aem_1hoSqgqt2Jjq6aHBKeyBHg

Have to think they to plan to use this guy on running downs rather than bringing in the 6th ol like we did with Eli last year. I’m all for it if he can actually chip in with the odd catch.

Despite his shockingly bad test numbers, he was a reasonably productive rec in the US. Maybe there’s something there.

Woodmansey got $300k per year from Elks.

Lawler had a very good season, but I’d take Hatcher’s consistency and 1,700 yards if I could choose one of them.

Very interesting after we re-signed Bryant. Broxton is the best LT in the league, I can’t imagine he’ll be the guy to change positions.

Oh, I only saw this today. I’m very surprised that’s what he settled for. Would take him any day over White or Mack.

KeeSean Johnson re-signs for two years in SK- $215k and $220k. That’s a steal.

What kind of article were you expecting from Tait? He’s a team employee.

No. We already have a lot of money tied up in the secondary.

Jason Peters. Switched to guard before having to move back to T due to starting tackles getting hurt.

I have high hopes for Dooley. Boise State is a decent program and he’s obviously a good run blocker.

Interesting comments about tc given the opinions of some here that our camp is too soft.

Imo KSB won’t be cheap. If he was willing to take a bargain deal, he’d likely stay with the Riders. Otherwise I expect him to get a healthy deal somewhere. I expect him to be well over $100k.

CFL ratio rules means we don’t always get the best player. I’m sure you already knew that.

Agreed. I want to see the Canadian boys fight for that spot.

How often do teams that played in the Grey Cup go on major spending sprees in fa the following offseason?

That’s what I saw. Lots of contested catches. The cb in the first couple of clips looked worse than some of the cbs I see in the CJFL.

We still have several well paid pending free agents. They can’t all be coming back. Willie, Vaughters, and Stan are well over $500k combined. I don’t think any of them are essential anymore. Thomas, Wilson, and Tony Jones can all be replaced by younger and cheaper guys. Add the marketing money and the rising cap and we should be fine to add a few good fas.

Thank god we don’t play the Riders five times again.

Garrett would be in prison for manslaughter if the helmet had connected on that swing.

Depends what we do with the rest of our roster and who our Canadians are. We need to play them somewhere. If we want better Canadians on the ol or at rec we’ll have to pay through the nose for them. We’re in some trouble right now with our Canadians. Only two of them were good last year and they’re both fas looking for raises. We really need to hope our young lbers can step up and we hit a home run in the draft.

Als driving up the market. Huge cash for a receiver with injury problems and a guard. Definitely time to let our Cdn linebackers on rookie deals play, bc fa Canadians are getting paid.

Haven’t you been advocating to let Oliveira walk over money?

I disagree that the drop off from Oliveira to Petterson is worse than Demski/Philpot to Corcoran. Philpot has averaged 11 games over the last three years, much worse than our guys. If he came here, stayed healthy, maintained his pace, and became a career long Bomber it would be amazing. IMO the odds of that happening are low.
