March 2023 is when that news leaked but there hasn't been anything else about a trade request since then. When he signed the one year deal a few months later (in August), he also said he was looking forward to a clean slate with the club so it looks like he may be ok with whatever the club told him about their future plans for him. Either that or they've done a much better job keeping things out of the media but that's almost impossible to do if a team is actively shopping a player or if a player really wants out.

Maybe he was but turned it down when TSN wouldn't match the free hot dogs he currently gets?

A few long drives in the 2nd half (when the game was already out of reach) definitely helped. He had 115 yards at the half and added 130 in the 3rd and 129 in the 4th but BC had taken their foot off the gas by then. The stats and the score flatter Hamilton.

He played left tackle, right tackle and right guard at various times with the Bisons.

There's the inside move from Willie and it paid off.

Keric got good yardage in his first game but it was only 3 catches and he didn't have one ball thrown to him before he went down in his 2nd game. I don't think Zack looked at anyone other than Demski or Woli in the last game. Strevy at least spread the ball around, even if the passes went incomplete (most of which seemed to be on Strevy).

Yeah I don't expect much from him but maybe it'll give Zach another target since he doesn't seem to want to throw to the rookies.

I don't think it's too unusual. It was only reported that he was in discussions and was expected to sign. It's not like they had a deal done a week ago and he's just coming in now. Not much different than Oakman in Edmonton - his signing was reported but still hasn't been made official.

Looks like a deal with Lucky has been reached.

They are giving up points/yards all game so it's not simply a matter of them being gassed from being on the field all game. They've actually given up fewer points (slightly) in the 2nd half of games as compared to first halves. The D can also be blamed for not being able to get off the field when they are still fresh. I mean BC only had to punt twice in the entire game - pretty easy to get to 500 yards when your offense can do what they want.

Yeah but does he have a low center of gravity? - Glenn Suitor (probably).

Or kill some off at least. There are a few characters on this team that shouldn't be part of the story any longer.

I'm not sure how much his stock plummeted here (although ST was garbage last year) but I think the coaches cap played a factor. He was here for 7 seasons and MOS has mentioned how the cap can affect their personnel decisions when guys have earned raises but the club isn't in a position to provide them. We also had Mike Miller's on-field career ending so the club got to see him as a coach in waiting last season creating an opportunity to move on to a (assumedly) cheaper rookie coach.

Strevy

Bombers brought back Kody Case.

Or trade but I don't see anyone going for that based on recent performance.

Yep, 225 or 250k IIRC.

Or attendance starts dropping. I can't see Wade sitting idly by. He has worked too hard to build the club up just to see it get pissed away.

If they were actively trying to bring in replacements to overcome the injuries, I might buy that excuse but they aren't doing that. There just doesn't seem to be a willingness to change anything, injuries or not.

He made a couple ST tackles against BC (both in the 3rd quarter). He also had one earlier in the game wiped out by his own no yards penalty.
