New TV Contract
I only subscribe to TSN for the season, just for the bombers. So an additional streaming service fee sucks for more cost but otherwise changes nothing about how I watch games. I’m 40 years old, I imagine those younger than me don’t get TSN through cable either

PS Game #2
What do you mean by this? He quit because he saw the depth chart and knew he wouldn’t get tons of reps? There were 5 QBs here, what could he have expected?

New TV Contract
How would Bell get money selling games they don’t have the rights to? DAZN plays the league for the rights to their games. Bell paid the league for the rights to their games.

Thorne quit. He wasn't cut for lack of available time. Who says we didn't have reps?

2026 CFL Around The League (Not Bombers Specific)
Basically their salaries are set with $521K in hard money for the 2 of them, plus about $60K of playtime incentives each. I doubt either one is getting cut so salarywise doesn't matter who plays. https://3downnation.com/2026/05/04/highest-paid-quarterbacks-for-2026-canadian-football-league-season/ 9) Dru Brown, Ottawa Redblacks (A) Hard money: $321,000 Maximum value: $387,000 Browns’s 2026 compensation comes from a $150,000 signing bonus, $131,000 base salary, $15,000 in marketing money, $15,000 in housing, and a $10,000 travel allowance. He has an additional $66,000 available in playtime, statistical, all-star and award incentives. 10) Jake Maier, Ottawa Redblacks (A) Hard money: $200,000 Maximum value: $263,000 Maier’s 2026 compensation comes from a $94,600 base salary, $75,000 signing bonus, $15,400 in housing, $7,500 travel allowance, and $7,5000 in marketing money. He has an additional $63,000 available in playtime, statistical and award incentives.

Isn't every NFL game on DAZN in Canada?

Ya, I don't like having to use DAZN too but if the $$$ is really good for the league and will keep the league alive, so be it.

So to watch all Bomber games will need to pay for TSN and DAZN accounts? Lovely

Kenny is going to always get a lot of targets because he make crazy catches. When in doubt, chuck it up there.

When? After he already signed in Ham?

Kenny is an unreal talent and I loved watching him play. Consistent he ain't though. 2025 was is first season playing every game. Letting someone walk to become the highest paid non-QB in the league isn't the same thing as saying you don't want him on your team.
-
2026 CFL Around The League (Not Bombers Specific)
Good for Kenny. Glad he's making bank if he's going to play somewhere else. Will be interesting to see how that 3rd year as the highest paid non-QB goes for a 34 year old receiver.

Woodbey nice knock down Good pressure today

2026 Bombers Season
He’s more of a veteran in that he’s played professional football before. Wilson shouldn’t have been kept around unless he had made major progress, so no big loss. Have to imagine they will bring someone else in, need at least 1 QB on the PR

Some changes to the cap and rosters sizes for 2026. I like the additional reserve roster and PR For the 2026 CFL season, both sides agreed $50,000 will be added back to the salary cap, totalling $6,330,514 per team. The salary cap cannot decrease while the current collective bargaining agreement is in place and all revenue sharing growth will continue to get added to the cap. Meanwhile, the players received permanent increases to weekly training camp compensation — first-year veterans will earn $725, second-year veterans $825, and three-year plus veterans $925. Starting immediately, each franchise will have the ability to designate up to two players on a reserve roster each week with no changes to the ratio or roster composition, creating 18 additional fully-paid jobs. Practice roster sizes have been increased by two, with a Canadian filling one of those new spots. Also, language has been cleaned up when it comes to the injured lists, marketing money, and Nationalized Americans. https://3downnation.com/2026/04/30/cfl-players-association-record-wins-through-2027-grey-cup-playoff-expansion/

Same problem the NFL solved by adding a 17th game $$$. No room to add more games to the regular season in the CFL so adding playoff games.

Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
I'm not saying it was a good idea but none of us have any idea who would have been available in later rounds. This draft proved again that none of the CFL, TSN, or 3downnation guys have any clue where anyone will be drafted beyond the first few guys.
