Bakari Grant is stil out there as a free agent. I wouldn't mind seeing the Bombers sign him, but they likely plan on starting Moore, Denmark and Adams at the 3 import WR spot and having a new recruit as the backup guy. At least we won't have to watch Romby anymore. Aaron Kelly likely won't be back either.

Scouting reports say he struggles with consistency and concentration, has questionable hands, doesn't play as physical as his size would suggest, and isn't a willing blocker. There's more to being a WR than being 6'3" 210lbs.

Oh look, there he goes ... chasing his ego into oblivion. There was a report that Grigsby is close to re-signing with the Ticats. Yes Grigsby has indeed re-signed with the Ticats.

Trust me on this, you really don't want to know.Have a close look at his Twitter picture, then try not to pull a Mike, by running straight to the washroom, with pic in hand

My guess is yes, he's won a lot of contests. lol

Cold weather will do that. That didn't seem to affect Troy Stoudermire.

I projected him to start at RG, but he'll have to battle Goossen for that spot. What I mean is that he's actually played RT in Sask and when he came in, it seemed like he was a 'ratio changer' we had been looking for... It doesn't appear that the Bombers see him as a tackle yet. He was very effective last year at guard.

The also won the bidding war for Gord Hinse. LMAO!!!

Glory hole has another meaning too.

Even if Hurl starts at MLB, its a huge upgrade over Kuale. Even though Desia Dunn never stood out to me, he was solid, so I'm a little surprpised he isn't being brought back, at least to training camp.

Can't see any draft picks stepping in this season and starting right away and making a difference.Could easily see a top ranked receiver or defensive lineman stepping in and playing right away.Possibly getting some playing time, but not starting or making a real impact.

I don't see Goossen starting this year at centre, especially with Picard already being named our starting centre. But he'll be given an opportunity to win one of the guard spots, competing with Greaves and Neufeld. Personally, I see Goossen as the 6th OL this season.

Lee is pretty much the equivalent to Louie Richardson. I really don't see a need. I wonder if Ameet Pall will be invited to camp??You don't see Leggett staying at safety? I think Leggett is a great Safety but I also think he would be a great SAM or HB Unless JFG and Kohlert stay healthy and are legit receivers all season, we will have to start three Cdns on D at some point. WIL and S are the least damaging positions. Lee is an upgrade over Richardson imo If we had to start 3 on D, I'd much prefer it being Bucknor, LB and DL. I don't like the idea of starting any of our Canadians at safety.

I don't like that linebacking crew as all. None can be considered starters. Role players for sure. Where the heck is Curran? I think that linebacker is the biggest weakness on the team. We have to bite the bullet & sign him.Just to clarify, the linebackers I listed there are for one possible roster spot. Not all potential starters. What we have so far is the weakest linebacking group in the CFL. I just can't see how we can leave that unaddressed going into the season.And Walters agrees with you. Just a few days ago on 1290 he said that was the area of biggest concern. I'm confident he'll figure it out.

Likely directly related to the Goodrich signing. I'd suspect Carter will still be in camp and likely get a PR spot.

The non-import landscape in the CFL is changing. Not every team has 7 stud Canadian starters. The Riders lost Heenan, Picard, Butler, Newman, Hurl and others over the last couple years. The Riders will likely be relying on Watson as their 7th non import this year and after that they don't have much. The Riders are so desperate they signed one of our castoffs, Gord Hinse, as their likely 6th OL this year. Same with the Stamps who lost Sinopoli, Jones and MacDougall just this offseason and they signed Swiston as a project, another Bomber castoff. Also heard a rumor that Edmonton will be signing Tyson Pencer. In addition, more Canadians are getting scooped up by the NFL. Things are starting to even out in terms of non-imports around the league and the Bombers aren't that far off anymore.

Did you even read my post? I'd argue we have 8 legit Canadian starting options.

Kyle Walters has set up the Bombers to have some nice non-import (National) depth in 2015, to the point where we'll be in a position to possibly start 8 Canadians, where the requirement is only 7. At the least coach Oshea will be in a position to have some solid options. Here's how I see the options breaking down: On offense, Bombers will likely start 5 Canadians: WR (2) - Kohlert, Feoli-Gudino, Bastien, Carter, Goodrich OL (3) - Greaves, Picard, Neufeld, Goossen, Everett My take is that after Kohlert and JFG, the depth at WR is a little thin, but as long as one of Bastien, Carter or Goodrich can step in and be an adequate replacement in case of injury, we'll be fine. Each of these three guys has nice upside, and could be legitimate starters, but it'll likely take a year or two for them to develop. I'm making the assumption here that Morley will retire. The depth at OL is solid, and with the likely addition of another Canadian OL from this years draft, we're in a good situation here. On defense is where it gets interesting. I like what Walters has done in giving the coaching staff 3 solid options as defensive starters, although we will likely only start 2 here: DB (1) - Bucknor, Jones LB (1) - Hurl, Newman, Briggs, Sherman (heard Sherman might transition to safety this year) DL (1) - Thomas, Brown, Richardson The extra Canadian depth on defense gives the coaching staff options, and additional flexibility in case there's an injury at Canadian WR. It's quite impressive what Walters has done with increasing the quality and depth of our Canadians over such a short period of time. In addition, if you add up all the names listed above, that's 19 Canadians and there's a requirement to have 20 on a game day roster. I didn't even list guys like Pondbriant, Liram, Cronk and Fitzgerald. Some really nice National depth. No longer a need to have guys like Stephan or West on the roster.

Also heard that O'Shea and Walters had a drinking game on free agency day where they each had a shot of tequila every time Wade farted. By noon Walters was unconscious from the toxic mixture of 23 tequila shots and fart fumes, so that's why Ted Goveia signed Bryant instead of Walters. Cameron subtly left that part out of his blog, but if you read between the lines, it's there.

Heard he's in negotiations with New Orleans. Apparently that was misinformation. Very interesting. Seems lots of misinformation on the remaining free agent LBs. Do they both have the same agent? lol
