M.O.A.B.

Really think they have a good shot at JC Sherritt if he makes it to FA

Unless the Als bring in a QB... It dont matter who the coach is. 

Tait mentioned in one of his articles in bluebombers.com that Spooner will be back.  I think its the article re breakdown of Bombers FA.
As Walters mentioned since Spooner ended in PR, they have 18 days after GC to resign him. If not teams ,are free to scoop him. I think the 18 days ended last Fri, but so far no teams have signed him yet.
Maybe  he already signed the contract but not announced yet.
 

Stanley Bryant was the lineman in league no offence to Bond but Bryant is the best. You don't draft Oline guys in the first round every year to only play two.

This the natural progression for prospects falling out of the NFL.
Step 1: Good team.
Step 2: New York Jets.
Step 3: Cleveland Browns.
Step 4: CFL.
So he is getting closer.

At least this confirms who Dr. CFL is...

My prediction, Sherrit will sign with the Bombers.  

They should do at least one move this week. Walters mentioned in his presser that they have 18 days to sign Qadr Spooner (or else he would be free to sign somewhere) . 
By my count, that 18 days will end this week. 

My prediction, Sherrit will sign with the Bombers.  

Dang. I miss the jet sweep. 

If Mark Nelson actually stays with the REDBLACKS I will lose a lot of respect for him.  What kind of spineless cur accepts a demotion and works for the guy who came in and took his job?

But the second mouse gets the cheese.

Plus I'd take Noel Thorpe over Richie hall any day

I don't think Hall should be retained but the over-the-top ranting and raving about how the Bombers are missing out and need to move on is ridiculous.
There is no pressure, at this time, to dump Hall until you have someone else lined up. There's no one available right now that is better than Hall. End of story.
If that changes, then they should make a move. They're paying him either way.

Rumor is Stubler is also a candidate for the HC. Also, if Claybrooks gets the job he is a strong candidate as DC.
And I believe Stubler has turned down the Bombers multiple times already. So I would l like to think hes not interested in coming to Winnipeg.

I would think the DC candidates are waiting who gets the HC position in MTL and what DC position opens up.
I believe Claybrooks, Chamblin, Benavidez and Washington are all candidates on that HC gig.
Like Thorpe, he might be interested in the Argos DC position if Chamblin gets the job. Or he would prefer to ne with the Stamps if Claybrooks is it.
So many variables. Maybe Oshea doesnt want to let go Hall unless hes sure theres someone coming.

You mean he came up short? ?

But he didn't ditch the shorts..........

I wonder why Bo Lokombo is not signed by any team. Walters should be pursuing him. 

I wonder why Bo Lokombo is not signed by any team. Walters should be pursuing him. 

I'm not convinced that behind O'Shea's good natured aw shucks charm there does not still lie a raging go-mental LBer personality disorder.  I wouldn't turn my back on him at a press-conference for a second, especially if my last name was Wiecek.

I suspect you'd get some green underline if you copied this post into Word...

Riders will be over the cap, I would think.

Now all we need do is sign him as director of scouting.
