This trade would suggest there is zero interest in Banks.

Well, the depth is still pretty shabby. The talent level should not have been as maligned as it was. Depth - Thomas is not allowed to get injured this season, and if Swiston isn't healthy by the end of the week....well it's getting pretty bare bones on our roster. Love the extensions, and am assuming that part of adding one year includes a small pay raise for this year. These guys are earning it. I agree that we need more DL depth. I hope that one of Mulumba or Bilikudi is coming our way in the near future. Also - we do have a few other National OL on the roster, but that being said, it will be a sad day if we have to use them. Gord Hinse is the only one I see being able to step in and actually play, given his prior experience. Quinn Everett could turn out to be a very good Canadian OL but he's in his developmental stage right now.

It's all about protecting your Willy!

Thomas has impressed with his increased role this season and clearly the Bombers coaching staff are high on Teague Sherman. Our Canadian depth is all of a sudden starting to look not too shabby.

@Darren_Cameron: #Bombers announce extensions for Canadian defensive tackle @fatboiThomas and Canadian linebacker Teague Sherman. Great move by Walters!

Winnipeg's gotta be higher than 7th this week.

Less Suber is better. I'm not a fan. He's just too short. he's a far better tackler than many! If Etch keeps him out of red zone defensive packages I guess I could live with him, but I'm just not a Suber fan.

Turner is expected back in Winnipeg tonight.

Willy is going to penetrate the Als D with deep and powerful thrusts all night long, leading to victory.

Depth-wise we should be okay for a few weeks. Start Goossen and move Swiston to the active roster as 6th OL.

Yes but a lot of people on here don't seem to understand that. It does happen but is extremely rare. The gentleman's agreement is pretty much on draft picks and calling the other team before you raid them. For the most part, team's are fine with their own roster/PR guys... so it doesn't happen that much. If you really like a prospect, you hide him on the IR. Get Peach. All the Stamps have to do is add him to their roster and he's no longer available, if Bombers try to sign him. I wouldn't be surprised if Walters already called Huff to inquire on Peach.

And the big one...Drew Willy's hand is fine.

@DarrinBauming: #Bombers RG Chris Greaves will miss a few weeks with a knee injury. O'Shea says they'll look at options through the week as to who will play

I sit behind the Bombers bench for all games. Gene Dahlquist is on the sidelines every game, somewhat involved in chatting with Willy, but not a lot. After scoring plays, Willy gets on the headset presumably talking to Marcel. Buck is never on the sidelines, he's in the booth with Marcel.

Yep, if we're going to trade a RB, I'd prefer we trade Ford.

He wanted to go back into the game so my guess is that it isn't too serious. O'Shea has a presser later today so we should know more then. My guess is that Greaves misses 1-2 weeks.

Depth and competition are a beautiful thing.

Kent Austin deserves what's coming to him this season.

This is how I'd rank the OLs so far this season: 1. Saskatchewan 2. Calgary 3. Toronto 4. Winnipeg 5. Ottawa 6. Montreal 7. Edmonton 8. BC 9. Hamilton

Coombs!!

Burke won't get a head coaching job in the CFL again for a long long time. Ever.

No practice till Monday. O'Shea's first media availability is Sunday.

Arash Madani is that you?
