The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has extended the contract of offensive lineman Sukh Chungh through the 2018 season. Chungh was entering the final year of his contract in 2017.
Which means he had originally signed a three year deal....
That sounds pretty definitive.

I don't think we need to but i wouldn't be against it if the riders can't get a deal done and Walters can give him a similar contract Waggoner had.
I have a feeling Judge is a very similar player to Waggonner and Jones did not take into account he would have to pay a STer 1st rd money. That's why Riderfans is pretty testy these days.
Judge seems to have a higher ceiling, so may be worth pursuing, providing Jones is sane.

CFL draft is a crap shoot at the best of times, taking a chance on a big athletic WR who may never see the field is a chance id be willing to take. He has the tools where as Etienne obviously did not- that's poor drafting.
Waggonner obviously did not pan out for us but that doesn't make him a bad pick either, with the salaries in the CFL a lot of times the guys could make more money pursuing other careers as much as we don't like it.
With Waggoner having jumped the fence, I do wonder if trying to swing a deal for Judge would be a good idea. Waggoner's CV wasn't as good as Judge's and a ratio-buster NI linebacker is always welcome- there has to be another Mike O'Shea out there.

MOS is almost going on 4 years, considering his record in the first 2 seasons, that's miraculous.
This has to be a critical year for O'Shea's reign here. Yes, the team got into the playoffs last year but that has to be the absolute minimum for this one. Patience is well and good but it has to pay off.

why does bauming say we add 4 imports then list 5
'Cause he learned his math in Regina.

Jones must be close to desperate to regain some sort of credibility and maybe he is going to play hardball here to try to salvage his machoness.

Must be close to tc, Richards getting soo much talk time. Don't think hes much of a factor or will be. Certainly not worth soo much concern
I like the Lawrence Virgil signing. Big super strong athletic DT that makes plays in the back field.
Virgil looks good on paper but apparently has difficulty shedding blocks- that's a coaching thing.

Which has been our issue forever, Taking players already at their ceiling because we needed bodies to come in and start and ending up with a very average roster. When you bring players along regardless if they can't contribute right away, they have the chance to learn and grow in to a special player. We needed Etienne to come in and play but never developed. different situation.
Very few Canadians come straight out of U sports and become all stars or even start, let's be patient, there's no farm team in the CFL like there is in the NHL (unless you're the riders).
I understand your logic as far as drafting and developing homegrown talent, but disagree with how an average roster develops by taking players at their ceiling. If you grab average players, you get an average team. If you have the smarts to sign good players, you get a good roster. The trick is to choose wisely, grasshopper.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed international defensive lineman Lawrence Virgil and national offensive lineman Cody Speller.
Virgil (6-5, 290, Valdosta State, January 20, 1991 in Quitman, GA) spent three seasons playing for the Valdosta State Blazers from 2010-2013. In his junior season, Virgil recorded 52 tackles and 6.0 sacks while earning honorable mention All-America. Virgil signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2014.
Speller (6-4, 285, McMaster, May 10, 1994 in Caistor Centre, ON) spent four years with the McMaster Marauders and played in 22 games. He was selected to participate in the 2016 CIS East-West Bowl.
The club has also released international defensive back Josh Celerin.

Does his name imply that he will be used only occasionally?

Richards got drafted for his "hair powers" plain and simple and then tempted fate by shaving off the mane in his first CFL TC. Multiple injuries and little playing time or production later, here we sit ...
We aren't going to have Richards as a target for bile much longer. He has to put out in training camp or he's gone. No more mulligans.

It looked like the triple option offense really didnt fit well with him despite his speed. Seems more like a scramble to throw and keep the D honest type. Really good looking prospect to groom.
"Groom" is the operative word here. He looks to have all the CFL tools, but the big question is" can he adapt to the CFL game? I would like to know his college GPA to see if he has the smarts.

Why on Earth does anyone need to compare one site versus another? That leads to either snobishness or depression. This forum is good. Period. Not perfect, but what is? Lets us enjoy what we have and STFU.

RE: Waggoner- a first rounder who cannot make it off the special teams roster in two years has to be considered a bad pick, but that's the nature of the draft process- legalized gambling, really. Too bad he didn't come to that conclusion a month ago.
RE: Apodaca what an arm- very much like Dunigan in his prime, only without Dunigan's wheels.

Club hasn't announced it but QB Austin Apodaca's training facility just announced he's signed with the Bombers.
Lots to like about this signing.
6'3", 215 ... very much a pro-style prospect. Absolute gun for an arm ... had he clocked it at the combine instead of a pro day, he would've set the all-time record with a 61 MPH toss. Can make all the CFL throws.
Few things not to like ... he didn't play much in college. Didn't get a lot of opportunity to throw the ball at UNM, ran the triple option offense. Receivers never really helped him out much, so he doesn't have the backing of any good statistics really. Pretty raw.
Yup. There are likely a lot of quarterbacks out there who have all the physical tools but have gotten either the gameday experience or coaching to develop. Smarts can make up for a lot of things, but live-fire experience isn't one of them.
