One more year for Kyrie. Blue Bombers Re-Sign Kyrie Wilson - Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Hamilton Tiger-Cats release Drew Wolitarsky ahead of offseason bonus - 3DownNation

Yeah, hammy last year, ankle the year before (also missed part of that season being in the NFL). Was healthy as a rookie in 2023 (played 17 games) and did really well.

As long as people are cutting weight, there's not going to be a perfect solution & incidents like this will still happen if someone cuts too much weight. there are pro's & cons to it either way - one disadvantage of moving it to same day is that it doesn't eliminate risky weight cuts, it just give less time to recover. Like that guy could just as easily have face planted tomorrow with after a weight cut that clearly went poorly. The advantage is that same day's won't allow fighters to put so much weight back on so maybe they don't cut as much in the first place and force guys to fight closer to their natural weight. Some organizations/commissions have restrictions on how much the fighters can weigh much farther out than the UFC does. The WBC’s current guidelines advise that a boxer should not be any more than 10 per cent over the division limit within 30 days of the bout, five per cent within 14 days and three per cent within seven days. The WBC is currently studying if a switch to same day weigh-ins makes sense so we'll see what happens.

😬 Instead of a fight, he gets a trip to the hospital.

And how much of it is marketing money. Willie does a ton off the field for the club so if they want to load guys like him up with non-cap money, I'm good with that.

Couple more neg list signings.

Not true - Rourke was also trying his luck with the NFL before he ever stepped on to a CFL field. He wasn't getting much interest as a QB though (the Giants had him try out at receiver) so he signed with BC. Yeah he got more interest down south after 2 seasons up here, but it was not his original plan (hence his unexpected detour comments). Elgersma is actually getting more NFL looks than Rourke did at this point in their careers so it's not hard to see why he might chase that.

Toronto Argonauts sign recently-released veterans Dewayne Hendrix, Peyton Logan - 3DownNation

2 year deal for Castillo & 1 for Sheahan.

Toronto just sounds like an absolute dumpster fire off the field. Even Pinball wants out or at least wants to reduce his involvement. https://3downnation.com/2026/01/17/mike-pinball-clemons-mum-on-toronto-argonauts-tampering-allegations-john-murphy-departure/

Looks like we can thank Kent Austin for this guy coming up here. Hope he pans out. https://3downnation.com/2026/01/16/payton-thorne-winnipeg-blue-bombers-qb/

Flip side is the training and treatment athletes get these days can allow for them to play longer. A lot of guys didn't take care of themselves properly back then... at least not compared to today's standards.
