Have they ever signed long term?

This is where I'm at with it...

People will hate this, but I think he’s a lot like Matt Nichols. Has played some of his best football late in the year, not great with the deep ball, very reliant on a couple basic concepts (timing routes at seams vs check downs and screens) etc. 
 Nichols didn’t have the last play chokes, but the 19/21 Ds we had were some thing else. If Fajardo didn’t run into us, he probably has atleast 1 more ring and two more gc games. 
if reasonably priced every team in the league would take him as a back up. That’s what he is at his best imo. Really good back up and stop gap solution. Let him run the short yardage etc, develop a better passer like Wilson behind him. 

I need to stock up on popcorn...for when Fajardo signs with the Bombers...

I agree, but we also need to concede that Nichols had a much better supporting cast
Bryant in his prime, with Bond beside him at LG, later on Desjarlais - those guys were just outstanding
If what I type matters...then there are serious problems. 😄

Yea that's not what Walter's said, he just stated that his contract will run out just like his last one did. The media was squawking about the same thing last time.....they(Miller, Walter,MOS) trust each other,strange huh?

If I'm his agent, I'm telling him to test FA after the season. 

You guys are right, Dru Brown back to Winnipeg for 2026 is my hope.

That piece by Hodge is typically moronic, poorly written and even has spelling errors. Christ's sake. It's pure sensationalism.

Do what? Take us to 5 straight championship games. Why ppl pretend we are the joke of the league when it’s the opposite is beyond me. I mean really. What exactly has O’Shea done besides be the winningest coach in our history. Besides winning 2 cups. Going to 5 prob 6 straight really. What a failure huh. Much better to be Calgary or Hamilton. 

It's a poor situation for Streveler. He didn't get a lot of chances to play before getting hurt and will he be ready to start the year? Doubtful... and then you're potentially looking at some options like faj or mbt or maier McCheese being out there as veterans. 

Its late in the 2025 Grey Cup. Winnipeg is trailing by 5 late in the 4th. Cody Fajardo comes in for an injured Collaros and leads a game winning TD drive. Winnipeg fans are unable to celebrate a home Grey Cup win because all of their heads have exploded.

Satisfying win beating a divisional rival in their own barn! 
Kupari is gaining a ton of confidence. He's such a smooth skater. 
Man alive we made out so well getting rid of PLD.

What does Appleton do? Doesn't hit or fight or score?

Every good team needs that. Got to win in a variety of ways.

Jets have as good a 4th line as there is in the league with Kup, Barron and Iafallo imo.

Helle stole this one...........

Man alive... Bucky is the only reason we're in this game.  Pionk is extra feisty tonight.

Have to give the guy props for developing him self late in his career into a competent teams guy, going from an abysmal blocker to average or a bit better, and for finding another gear as a runner while being able to accelerate much quicker. 
 If he had gotten that kind of development while in college his career as a pro would’ve been very different. 
 I respect the guys tenacity, work ethic, toughness and strength. A lot of guys could use an ounce of what he’s got. 
 
He may well be picked up by another team, especially if they try to flip the ratio at rb. Toronto would be a good candidate if they want to go onto adebobye. Or mtl with ste, or bc with jeshrun. 

Pionk been noticeably better and lots of that is having a defensive stud partner in Sammy. 

That's a league thing. Guys don't get cut from the NFL who can step in anymore
 

We have made the grey cup for 5 straight seasons and hosted 4 straight western finals.... a little perspective is perhaps warranted here... ultimately they failed to win the big prize 3 years in a row but they still have had tremendous success including last season. Anyone look back at the stamps of the 2010s and think they weren't successful? Or the als of the 2000s? They had plenty of Grey cup disappointments but they weren't touted as unsuccessful. 
Fact is that prior to the Bombers the last team to make 5 straight Grey cups was the 5 in a row Eskimos... that says something right there.
People need to tone down the craziness and see things for what they are. Could be better in some aspects but could also be a ******* hell of a lot worse.
