Just now, JCon said:
We won't announce any signings until after the weekend, when they can be added to the roster.
I wonder who comes north? DD would make sense, unless another team signs him the PR, which seems very unlikely at this point.
yeah...U would have think he would have already...100 percent certain too that its here...or nowhere in regards to the CFL

This, exactly. The offensive line performance is not a bunch of solo performances, but a coordinated choreography which takes time to learn, and we have had two significant losses (DesJarlais and Couture) plus Neufeld's very obviously injured arm. Gray will likely move to right guard to give Paddy time to heal but all this will not be an instant panacea but a significant improvement after the first period or two. Sempre avanti!
yeah if we do luck out and score getting DD back I can see that swap for now...And I believe Gray has more experience on the right side at guard too...Neuf could even be the 6th until he's healed up too...or we roll with 7 lineman

If Couture starts I expect we swap center for center.
What I do not expect is if Couture replaced Grey at guard, which might have huge impact immediately. I see MOS as patient with Grey until he matures; he would only lose his starters role to injury; he puts his faith in his players and the next up philosophy to develop the underlings' skills. That seems to be the culture that has the best players yearning to play here.
Gray has been just fine...Couture is a no brainer back at center as he prob top 2 centers in league..Kolonkowski held fort down, but that was about it...he gets owned and pushed back into the pocket more than he should....not sure all the Gray hate here

I haven't seen any news about Drew....from what I can tell he is not on the Pats PR....im getting more and more hopeful walters is working on a contract
nope....not signed to any PR from what I know....hope he re-ups here for top starter dollars...and we roll

Not holding my breath for BA this week....tho this recent turn of events tells you he is back sooner than later now...and likely at Banjo Bowl. The additions tho of Couture and likely BOLO...possibly Thompson is actually very significant....We get some thump back in the secondary, veteran (all-star) presence back at center, which makes the game day depth that much better..BOLO for Harrison frees up a DI spot for one of Mack/Wilcotts...and seeing as we dressed an extra Global lineman, I can see him coming off allowing us to dress both.

Brady looks like a Harris clone recently. By that I mean he's running hard and running people over
agreed...he has looked totally different than he did the first part of the yr.....maybe just needed to find his way a bit...figure what he is

yeah...easing him as the extra would be a good way to get him up to game speed...dude can play corner and half, and also has SAM experience too....I dunno what the heck going on in the Hammer but swinging a deal for Darby, with BA back would really solidify our back end
-
hmmm....I'd think BA would actually be back for Banjo Bowl...but we dont know what he's been doing conditioning wise...so maybe he ready...either way a rusty and a bit out of "game" shape is a huge upgrade none the less....And Couture back is huge....especially with BO now playing the way he has been...those be 2 huge adds, and BOLO is prob even bigger....cause as was mentioned we can now add one of Wilcotts, or Mack....possibly both with maybe Walker taking a seat....I truly think our dline play has suffered a bit since both were removed...

wonder if Strev's is just there till all 3 of the other Jets QB's are healthy....I see that scenario...but good on him getting some $ in the meantime.....now....if Desjarlais isnt scooped up...back that truck up Walters and pay that guy....that would be a huge add and the Oline depth just got deep again....especially with Couture likely back banjo bowl...maybe a game after

Feel bad for Lawler....sure he gets paid...but what a 180 he took going from a stable and first rate organization, to that dumpster fire...he also at times this yr looked non too happy there...but is what it is and Kudos to him ballin' his arse off for that team...man if we could swing a deal late in yr to get him back that would be huge
Vernon for sure will keep the Lions competitive...much more than what they have, but not like Rourke...different style of QB's, and he will make some things happen there....but also see him giving up a ton of turnovers too in the process...but they had no choice and had to get somebody, and really he was the best available option

I basically always agree with Booch. I’m not in on the blue turf 😂
Id rather see us go back to grass
i was kinda being funny...I dont want blue turf...tho I think one endzone in Bombers end should be blue...the other Bison color....could care less about Valour having any coloring...

But if he signs here - isn't it a 2 year deal? It wouldn't affect his NFL dream, but he wouldn't be able to get on as a starter if he's in the CFL for 2023.
I can't see a viable path that lands him on the Bombers roster.
The cap isn't going to be an issue for other teams to sign him - if he comes, there will only be 4 games or so left in the season. Not going to be much of a hit.
no...he can just sign for remainder of the yr...as would any returnee...they not roped into 2 yrs....cap wont be an issue for us either for 4 games if thats when he came up....he's got just as viable path to land here than anywhere...and as much as people dont wanna believe the former connections here...the comfort level...friendships etc....that will likely be the key in all it why he signs here....doubt it if you want...but its real

Dobson is the replacement for Couture on the active roster. Maybe they budgeted on having Dobson on the 1 game all season.
Generally a team will allocate a dline...oline...2 skilled position and usually a teamer type salary at varying price targets...and based on where projected backups may be on the roster toward the cap...even tho technically its isnt used yet...or may not be used so that moving forward into the season they have a better rough idea of what they have left as a buffer...and how to manage/project possible moves during the yr...so replacement salaries for some of our....if not all our guys has already been worked into the season cap for current salary requirements...so likely most the savings from guys we 6 gamed is actually available...that's what the smart teams do

2 rings and the way things stand right now the great possibility of a third with their contibution.......makes sense for us and them
yeah...in all honesty can't see why they would choose to go somewhere else...this point in year...there's nobody who can really offer an outrageous Lawler type deal like in free agency...

And considering the top 4 salaries for OL guys in CFL for 2022 is 210k and 3 guys at 190k...with coutures savings..and anything else we have we have ample funds to get Desjarlais and Kongbo back if we choose.. and they want back in cfl for rest of yr...plus some guarantee of playoff money to.help sweeten the pot...if they look to return...we will be players and I sure their first choice will wanting to.be back...the bombers are all they know...as in culture and 2 rings
Pretty sure Dobson's and Wilson's replacement were factored into the SMS..and u also have an injury aottment set aside for cap issues in as well...so that's money that was accounted for...
You do know usually between 3 and 6 varying levels of salary are factored into a teams SMS as hard money not available for possible injury replacements eh?...so taking away some of the 6 game money isnt part of the equation...

Gray would only go there for a bit to heal up Neuf if its an issue with him....I donmt think it is tho and he is the right guard...and as well top 2 or 3 in league....But yp Gray would be the 6th, and I could see us dressing Dobson too....be interesting to see how roster pans out when we are close to being all healthy
