    While i dont see that happening, I could see bryan bennetts agent getting a ring from walters. 

    Why would Bennett's agent get a call? Dude was a free agent all year. Also, apparently the two QBs that were added to our pr at the end of the year have both signed futures contracts to come back.

     

    To everyone who keeps talking about Thorpe coming back, please STOP. That ship has sailed and he ain't coming back, now let's stop talking about him.

  2. Interesting from Kirk Penton's You Be the Boss article last year. I presume it would be much higher this year.

    I sure miss having Kirk Penton reporting on the Bombers. I don't think I read a single Sun article on the Bombers this year...

  3. My list...

    1. DC - a competent defense would go a long way. I believe we have some good personnel in place (except the big hole at MLB). If we didn't have the worst defense, we could be a really good team.   
    2. MLB - Someone who doesn't just get consumed by blockers. 
    3. WR - Actually scout and bring in some decent receiver talent. Have to think the receiving corps will look a whole lot different next year. 
    4. Backup QB - I thought we had decent depth at QB, that clearly wasn't the case. Back to the drawing board...
  4. If you take Bond and Hardrick off and put them on the 1 game IR, you have to put two more guys on the 46, therefore 4 guys who aren't playing count against the cap. If Hardrick and Bond are the two scratches, only two game cheques count against the cap. Just a thought, but I don't think we are that close to the cap, but it does save some $$$.

    Interesting comments from his agent.  Apparently there has been no contact for two weeks.

    So basically they want a lot of money and likely only for the remainder of this year.

    I thought the one year contract was only for CFL vets, initial contract is still two year min?  He'd be looking at this year plus next. Walters has been known to try and lock players down for 3 years. It makes the most sense for the club.

    If Mulumba wants to play football, it will have to be the CFL. I believe his NFL window has closed...
