Bold move by Walters - really like his GM style 

Just going to go back and delete the posts where I thought he wouldn't play and if he did, he would just get injured. Then, I'll go and erase all the posts where I said he wouldn't re-sign. 
I really wasn't expecting to have to do a lot of work today. This is going to seriously impact my forum surfing. 
 

Nice to have an idea how the QB corps is going to look for 2020. I'm still curious what happens with Streveler but I hope he's in the mix and can continue to develop.
Congrats on the new contract, Zach!

Yowza!.......and there was GREAT rejoicing among the assembled faithful.

Counts double..... Riders. 

That article is purely fishing for a story. Notice how the quotes are all from an agent and not the player? Guarantee that Naylor reached out to anyone who would talk just to get something to drive clicks. So he got the agent who is clearly going to be stoking the fires trying to get his client the best pay day possible. 
Here's what I'd suspect: Nichols wants to stay as the starter for the Bombers and if they told him they were going to prioritize Collaros then yeah he would be disappointed, and that's understandable. But let's not pretend that it's Nichols out there raising a stink. He's handling it out of the public spotlight. 

Nice...
 

Callers ruin call-in shows, period.....

You know that he's got speech problems right? A thing that was well documented while he was QB. Things that go back to before he was a football player....he's come a long way, but still has issues with speech. It's gonna happen.

he was super cool after the GC game, going around and shaking hands with every fan around the stadium. Had a LOT of family there with him....he was digging the moment.

Sounds like Rasheed Bailey is excited..

“I’ll Start By Saying Congratulations Coach Buck @pierceQB11 Nobody’s More Deserving Of The Job Than You . I’ve Watched You Everyday Layout All The Ground Work For This Moment. Can’t Wait For You To Lead Us This Year” 🙏🏽

CJOB says they can confirm Buck as OC and the entire 2020 staff will be named sometime this week...

This play is sooooo Tom Clements like & so much fun to watch. Big Tom used to do this all the time & leave Bomber fans scratching their heads asking themselves how did he just do that? It takes a special breed of qb to be able to see the field like that & make plays but Big Tom did it on a regular basis. 

Hard to argue with this one...
 
 

Per CFL.ca transaction page, looks like Demski reconstructed his contract. 

So Ryar Bomben then..............................man I hate off seasons

No kidding. What a dink.
Go Blue.

We have wife beaters and crack dealers and drunk drivers in our league right now. Can’t take a stance on the new guy until you deal with those. 

I'm not sure I understand Jeff Hamilton's take on this. Is he saying that the CFL should not allow any players who have had legal problems to play? Because that's one of the reasons why some talented players end up here - i.e. Willie Jefferson and many, many others. We've always been kind of a second chance league.
Or, is his take that we should only allow players that have had certain types of legal problems? I think the CFL already does that, at least to an extent. Past DUI's and marijuana charges - seem to not entirely exclude players from trying out, depending on the circumstances. Serious legal issues - assault, murder, etc - I think the CFL bans those players entirely. Example - Ray Rice. I seem to remember the CFL making a statement saying he would never be allowed to play here, which makes total sense.
I also trust that the Bombers are pretty good on doing their due diligence. Walters and O'Shea seem pretty good at choosing character players. You'd have to think that perhaps this player has learned from his transgressions, and perhaps even is dealing with any substance abuse issues. Seems like Hamilton forgets that people are capable of doing that. 
I guess I'm a bit confused by Hamilton's takes on things. And still salty that he was one of the anti Harris for MOP ring leaders. 

Now to get Brandon Banks on an off - season program that will give him the cardio needed when he's targeted 3 times in a row...

Did you know...
The Bombers were involved in 4 of the best games ranked in the CFL in 2019

I personally think there were more, but what do I know. I’m only a fan of the GREY CUP CHAMPIONS.
