Perkins play makes me wonder wtf Wilson was thinking.

I don't think Wilson isan all-star by any means but he could have easily won a roster spot over Perkins based on what's been shown so far.

Thankfully we won't have to watch 90% of these guys play another game.

Ya but why would Ottawa want to get rid of Dru? He doesn't have a monster contract. Between him and Mayor they're basically at Kellys pay aren't they? The chances of the Mayor getting hurt behind that OL are likely pretty high right now and they can't afford another losing season, due to injury or not.

Might not happen right away but Ottawa may want to get something for him while they can. It's the last year of his contract and I'm testing FA if I'm Dru. He re-worked his contract so the team could be more aggressive in free agency and his thanks was a demotion to go along with the pay cut. Dinwiddie doesn't seem like his biggest fan so he's probably better off elsewhere.

Could be that Dru comes home after Zach's retirement..kind of like a lot of us envisioned. But who knows

In a water is wet type of revelation, Farhan posted that Dru has an interest in returning to the Bombers. Well no ****... He didn't want to leave in the first place but needed to for a chance to be a starter.

How great is it not seeing Chris Kolankowski as the starting Center? My condolences to the Hamilton Tiger Cats, You got suckered.

Had a few chuckles this off-season when some media (usually 3DN) would say we had a hole at center because we "lost" him in free agency. Not really losing something if you threw it away, IMO.

So Dru Brown demoted to 2nd string by the looks of it. I wonder is this is just Dinwiddie mind games, or just wanting to get a way better look at Maier? Not sure what to make of this? Will Ottawa keep Brown at his salary to sit as 2nd string? Keep in mind they have 3 other QBs that looked very impressive in preseason game 1. Would Ottawa cut Brown loose or trade him? Would we be open to bringing him back if there was the possibility? I WOULD. At any rate, whoever shakes loose from Ottawa, I would be very interested in bringing in and having a look see. They can't keep them all. Dinwiddie is very impressive in his ability to guru QBs. What he got out of Arbuckle the last 2 seasons after his career looked DOA, how he got Kelly playing very good ball in a short amount of time etc.

Doesn't seem to be a game or just an extra long look, Dinwiddie has made his call. He let them know a few days ago that Maier would be the starter going forward.

And if MBB doesn’t step up with this raise demand to be traded so modify that full no move clause I’m sure you have in your contract.

My no trade list only includes RiderFans and I'm not waiving that for any reason!

CBC reporting that the new deal is worth 500 million or 83.3 million per year. That's a massive increase. Would the revenue share get the SMS up this year? If so, the SMS increase would be pretty large.

Not necessarily - the league revenue is reviewed at the end of each year and any increases go towards the next season. The increased TV revenue should mean more money for the players but it's up to the CFLPA to decide how they want to allocate it. They largely do put increases towards the cap though so I would expect another decent jump next year.

According to the CBA terms, the CFL established an initial baseline mark for defined league revenue during the 2022 season, which takes into account revenues for the league and its nine franchises. If revenues exceeded the initial baseline in subsequent seasons, that uptick can be added to the following year’s salary cap at the Players’ Association’s discretion.

2025 CFL salary cap limit jumps over $400,000 due to increased league revenues - 3DownNation

wow not what i was expecting. I think i recall hearing they host some fight stuff.

Yes, they've had fights on there for years. They've aired a ton of big boxing matches (Canelo often has his fights on there) and have even shown UFC stuff (for non-US markets) in the past but it's mainly Bellator, PFL & KSW for MMA.

my IPTV service I use on my streaming devices has a whack of DAZN channels in the Canadian Sports section...I pay I think 15 bucks a month and get like i dunno...5000+ channels tho I just remove all the listings for foreign stuff

Same. Won't affect me at all unless my IPTV service gets nuked.

I can't see Edmonton, Ottawa, Montreal or Hamilton being interested off the top of my head.

If he thinks Elgersma was handed the QB2 spot & he's not willing to compete for a QB3 spot here, I don't see where else Wilson could land.

The Western teams (except maybe Edmonton) don't have a very experienced QB room but I can't imagine he's going to come in late and beat out someone with similar experience and more familiarity with the respective playbooks. Some QB's going down with injury down the road might be his best (only?) shot at getting signed somewhere.

Didn't not see Vegas sweeping Colorado but they did.

Say what you will about Tortorella but he has them dialed in right now. What a crazy couple of months for them.

Bombers drop Wilson from the suspended list, making him a FA. I'd be shocked if he gets picked up by another CFL.

They will beat Carolina guaranteed as Carolina has been off for way 2 long.

Colorado Montreal final. Book it. Montreal wins. Guaranteed. They have faced a ton of adversity. 2 game 7s. Carolina has 2 sweeps. Montreal will beat them.

Appears that if MacKinnon isn’t 100 percent healthy the Avs suck. And montreals magic has run out.

Carolina Vegas final? Yikes. The ultimate who cares for most nhl fans.

Looks like your ride on the Habs bandwagon didn't last long. 😂

She called Paul Friesen "vile and souless" lol.

Also not sad to see him leave and thought there was probably a good chance he would not be on the final roster after camp anyway.

Peyton Thorne added to the suspended list - more playtime for the other guys!

I think McKenna/Stenberg are locked, just in which order they go 🤷🏼‍♂️

3/4 gets you a #1RHD in Reid or #2C in Malhotra.

Course if no one moves which probably will happen, it’s Bjork/Verhoef.

Fwiw, Button released his latest rankings today and he now has Bjork at 4.
