The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have re-signed American defensive end Jamal Davis II for 2024, per sources.

Blue Bombers released 31-year-old fullback Damian Jackson on Wednesday as per Jeff Hamilton,

If Simoni hadn't cheapshoted ZC in game 1 of 2019, we may never have had ZC and might still be in a cup drought. I for one would like to thank Lawrence for his contribution to Winnipeg Blue Bomber football.

That's the most baffling aspect, kept Kola who plays at the edge of his abilities and lost Gray who has unlimited physical abilities plus versatility.

I mean they obviously don't have money to throw around.  Need to get value out of any signings with the high end guys.  Not going to pay high six figures for average players.

Walters said he doesn't expect to sign any CFL free agents in the coming days.  
"We just don't have any money," he said. "The spots that are available are going to be for training-camp battles for young players, for first-year players. If somebody wants to come in on a minimum contract, we might kick the tires on that."
 

wtf?!?!....I can't complain now...but the obvious thing to do...his age.....experience...and skill...or lack there of it....would have been just stupid to continue that farce

Only exceptional rookies step into the lineup in their first year, should be okay with a rookie receiver and the secondary but if injuries come into play, could be rough.
Biggest worry right now is Grant and Castillo, ST will suck and blow badly if those two are not re-signed.

Broxton, McGlouster, Lofton were all tackles our scouts brought in that started for other CFL teams last season.

Reaching beyond Greg Peach, not a clue who the last one was.

Walters buggered the accountant when he signed Lawler when he already had Schoen in house at 1/3 the price.  Years of careful player development walking out the door, starting over from scratch in a few too many positions.  Exciting times await!

It's not good, how many holes do they have to fill? Team depth is walking out the door.

Kramdi will be a starter despite what coach MBB says. 

Always had guys in the pipeline though.  Have 7 guys signed right now, 3 Americans, 4 Canadians.  Flipping around 2 spots, didn't have any development guys last year.
Would be really lucky to get a guy out of draft who can play right away.  Top 7-8 OL guys are all NFL prospects.  Not always easy to plug American guys in either.
Think there will be a few moves in this position group yet.

Haba was ok, he's quick but doesn't have the size to overpower an OT which might be a problem trying to maintain the edge when containing the QB.  He played in 8 games last season with 12 DT's and 4 sacks and missed a few games due to injury, so he has a decent base of experience to build upon.
