M.O.A.B.

WHO'S FREE? A look at RedBlacks players eligible for free agency as of Feb. 10 Dobson Collins, WR. Caught 29 passes for RedBlacks in a limited role. Could return. Joe Eppele, OL. Training-camp injury wiped out season. Won't be back and may retire. Moton Hopkins, DL. Played well when given a chance. Had NFL workout with Vikings Tuesday. Jason Pottinger, LB. Special teams captain. Starting out on business career, likely to retire. Alex Krausnick, OL. Versatile, can play centre, move around on line. Caught a pass. Should be brought back. Jonathan Williams, RB. Was an offensive player of the week, but knee injury wrecked his season and may delay his start to next season. Wallace Miles WR. Caught 50 passes, but dropped too many. Could be brought back. http://www.ottawasun.com/2014/12/09/redblacks-gm-marcel-desjardins-could-go-after-some-big-names-in-free-agency

The thing to keep in mind is that the rankings mean very little going forward until the draft. People will use them as law in discussions on forums, but the reality of the situation is this list is formed by the rankings submitted by the nine front offices in the CFL and teams are going to be deceptive with a purpose as we get closer to draft day. Yep. But if the Bombers are hoping to have an OL that is comparable to the Als, the Stamps and the Riders, I think this pool is the best chance to expedite that process. A couple of top picks OL combined with a stud OL picked up in the free agency, I think it's not impossible for the team to field 5 national OL next year.

I think, I'm starting to fade away from Demski as my #2 overall choice.

Who among those top 20 have a realistic chance to have a NFL tryouts ?

The players who ended up on their teams PR, they are technically free-agents, correct? Can any team sign them prior to the Feb 10 deadline? Or is there a 'gentleman agreement' among GMs not to touch them prior to that date?

I can't see Chapdelaine leaving SFU for an OC job. Is that you, Jacques?

I hope they relieve Bob Dyce so the Bombers can scoop him back.

I'm not sure if Benevides-Chapdelain reunion will happen for the Riders. LaPolice might wait until what will happen to the BC HC opening. If he wins it, he might have an instant-DC in Ritchie Hall.

In a coaching role, hasn't he just been with the Riders and Eskies? I think a change of scenery would do him/us good, i.e., Bombers. Yeah I suppose bouncing around wasn't the correct term. He went from the Riders to the Esks to the Riders. He does have 3 GCs in that time period. His wiki page says retired......hummm Retired as a player. He was a DB and punt returner for the Riders.

I got a feeling O'shea is just waiting for Mark Washington to be available. So it will be Washington or else he will just stick with Etch.

Signed thru 2017. Just like Paddy Neufeld. Wow!

An insider told me he saw Etch kneeling in the corner of his room and hear saying these words... "Lord, please don't let me Richie Hall'ed again. Thank you."

As I recall, Williams plays the wideout when he was in the CFL while Denmark and Moore are both slotbacks. We have an opening for a wideout since we need an upgrade for Kelly and Bryant.

CFL News @CFL_News Richie Hall will not be back as #Riders defensive co-ordinator but will be offered a role. #CFL #Riders via @HomeOfTheFans

Yup, this is kinda what i expect too.. Get an estimate on worth, use it to max value taman.. Only way he leaves is if someone drives a brinks truck to his door with 300k. It will have to be wow money,lol I hope that truck is from Winnipeg.

What I read is Holmes is set to try if he can get back to the NFL.

2013 and 2014 the Ticats had his rights, so he would be a FA. Does Bilukidi and Mulumba still have NFL PR eligibility for 2015 ?

So unless they are cut by their respective head coaches, they aren't going anywhere. That's takes them out of any HC and DC job openings.

Official List will be released tomorrow.

Until when does the Ti-cats own the rights to WR Chris Williams? Is he going to be a free-agent comes Feb deadline?

Whe everyone is healthy, I would like to see... Enstrom/Bogo Stuart/Trouba Buff/Chiarot

I guess Edmonton can do the same... trade Nichols to Ottawa or BC and signs Glenn.

Is Drew Tate a pending free-agent ? I guess not. He signed a 3-year deal in Dec 2011 then he signed an extension in Jan 2014 no mention of how many year. So I guess, in minimum, he's under contract until the end of 2015

Maybe what Marcel needs is better inputs from his assistants. If Oshea opts to keep him, I want to see a offensive maybe added and/or replaced the existing ones... like.... Dyce for Howell as Receivers coach (plus additional title perhaps) .... or Khari for Dahlquist for QB coach... or Gibson for Pierce (promote as QB coach? ) as RB coach.

Walters & co probably were interested but Etch probably declined and said he's not good for his D not like Kuale is.
