The Factor is back

Felt like Ceresna singlehandedly beat us in the Grey Cup a couple years back..... Just dominated the line of scrimmage all game

I am happy to see the Bombers land a big free agent

Yeah, the job is his even if he comes to camp injured and doesn't practice a single time. We know how O'Shea operates at this point. Veterans don't need practice and they certainly don't need to be evaluated.

Going to be the exact same roster as last year minus Kola and Thomas. Not good enough, and one year older. Wake me up when the 5-13 season is over.

I think it was a nagging hamstring issue... hopefully he can get that sorted out because he can be elite... I'd love to see the Bombers bring him in

Sure, to a certain degree. But when the Bombers were at their best in 19-21 it was the result of several years of big game hunting in free agency for studs like Andrew Harris, Bighill, WJ, Winston Rose, and Stanley Bryant, at the time those guys weren't just veteran leadership, they were the most talented players on the team. I look at the current roster and there isn't any position where we have the most talented player in the league. Maybe Brady. But the veteran leadership for the most part is washed up. It sure looks like they are bringing back 80-90% of the same players (unless MOS cuts them in camp LOL). It's hard for vets to be leaders when they can't bring it on the field anymore. If the Bombers aren't active in free agency and bring in a top name or two AND some impact rookies, it's just going to be even worse than last season.

Haven't we tried this already?

Willie signed

I always find it hard to browse the CFL's official free agent list so I re-organize it by position for readability. Still lots of time until free agency opens so this list is getting smaller daily.

A rough look at the depth chart with 3 weeks to go until free agency, apologies for any errors or omissions:

From what I hear they are all gone. MOS, Walters, McManus all leaving. Miller will do one more year as CEO but he is on the way out as well.

I think he is already gone and they're just waiting til after the Grey Cup to announce it.

Change is probably needed but let's not kid ourselves that things can't get worse. All it takes is one bad hire to send us back to 4-14 land for half a decade.
