Pretty surprised by this, tbh. https://3downnation.com/2025/12/30/pittsburgh-steelers-work-out-all-cfl-defensive-back-evan-holm/

Arguably Hamilton (at least for the time being) with Taylor Powell. Similar to our situation with Zach and Dru, Powell may need to leave to get a shot at starting because BLM keeps extending his career.

Also writes for 3dn. Says he's originally from Regina but I guess he moved away very young because literacy is not their strong suit. https://3downnation.com/author/cwiles/

Looks like the Bombers are bringing this guy back. One of the final cuts last year and spent a month on the PR before "retiring". https://www.bgmsportstrax.com/2025/07/21/winnipeg-blue-bombers-place-offensive-lineman-tyler-elsbury-to-the-retired-list/

100%. Dirty Sanchez was player I absolutely detested and I don't feel like letting that go. 😂

If you think the nightlife in Winnipeg is remotely comparable, you've clearly never been to any of those places.

We exceeded the salary cap in 2 of the last 3 seasons so we are spending the cash.

Problem player might not have been the correct term - biggest liability is probably more suitable. My issue isn't with Jake the person, it's the player that never showed a ton of skill (even in his younger days) now being responsible for coaching up others in an area that we desperately need help. He absolutely may turn out to be a great coach but let's not act like he was some great superstar back in the day and he's just no longer the player he once was. The drop-off from prime Jake and 2025 Jake is not that severe and he was closer to his prime 7 years ago when we first tried to move on from him. The fact that he lasted 13 years is a testament to his dedication but also a damnation of our scouting/drafting.

Or having the best RB in the league made him look better than he actually is? He certainly didn't use BO the way you would think a great RB coach might. I'm less concerned about that move though - he's at least experienced in the role. Hiring one of our problem players to coach (imo) our biggest weakness does not inspire confidence in me.

No consequences for failure/mediocrity. What's Jake going to teach them - how to now get their uniform dirty? I wonder if the Hogan move might have been because of the salary cap? If he had a 2 year deal, they'd either have to eat his salary and still pay a replacement coach or they keep him but move him to a different job.

And so is Hogan as RB coach. Winnipeg Blue Bombers hire Tommy Condell as offensive coordinator, Jake Thomas as defensive line coach - 3DownNation

Yeah but if i guess says he's not going to sign here, we have limited options. It's rare but has happened. Corey Mace did that to us back in the day and never played a snap for us.

Well the Jake Paul - Anthony Joshua "fight" was something. A whole lot of running, very little action and the expected result.
