Nope. 405, 515, 520.

2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)
The club wasn't exactly in a good financial position back in the day. As we always say, we're living the glory years right now, and it's for more reasons than the fact we're winning a bunch.

Schoen has played on this high scale receiver salary for two years. Geno Lewis has one under his belt. They've produced three seasons around 900 yards and 4 TDs. The league is refusing to meet Tim White at that number. I'd say it's the opposite. They'd have to ridiculously over-perform to get anywhere near these numbers again.

Just ******* battling over semantics.

Yeah, I'm kind of see-sawing on the move.

I actually do believe in our recruiting, which is why I was hoping we wouldn't see one of these retreads taking up a TC spot.

2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)
I’m not concerned about our secondary. I think all starters will be covered by guys already in the building and we’ll have a couple rookies for depth that will get their feet wet and like move into greater roles next year. Been there, done that. LBers will be the same, with maybe some upside if Cole starts coming on strong. Adding Ford has the potential to help the secondary and/or the SAM spot. Kramdi getting the training camp as the starter will help as well. All good here. DL has lost a massive piece in Jackson. Our D is not the same, Willie is not the same when Jeffcoat is not on the field. There is potential here to find a young dynamic defensive weapon that takes us to another level (especially looking forward to next season). There’s also the flip side of that where our DL takes a drastic step back. Im not as worried about OL. It might take some time to gel, but it’s going to be nice to see Dobson or Eli step up. Again, this may pay dividends in 2025. WRs should improve with Kenny hopefully available for a full season. I don’t expect much out of random guy #5, but maybe he comes on strong in the back half and can replace whichever one of Kenny/Dalton potentially walks next year. Zach and Brady should continue to be the best at their respective positions. Stevy is going to be such a help to our O. I think we’re at a B so far. We need our draft picks to contribute more. We really need to nail our DE scouting.

He was always pretty subpar at tackle and didn't really find success until we moved him to Guard.

We can choose to take him at face value or not, but he said after Grant and Castillio (if they can get it done), everyone else coming in has to be on a rookie deal. He even noted that agents were asking him if the Bombers would circle back on guys in a few days and Walters had to tell them, no, we're out of room to add anyone outside of rookies. Now, none of this is set in stone. He could cut Collaros tomorrow if he wanted to, so things will always be fluid to a certain extent. But as of now, the roster is set beyond adding draft picks and CFL rookies.

Roster necessities. With the camp battles we're going to see at critical positions, need as many bodies as possible.

Free Agency Day - Non-Bombers CFL News
I don’t think we move guys out of places they’ve been successful unless it’s an emergency.

Free Agency Day - Non-Bombers CFL News
Ok, but we’re mostly not asking first year rookies to come in. We have Fox and Haba returning on the DL, Ford and McGhee in the secondary. We do need to find a RT, but the rest is depth pieces.

Free Agency Day - Bombers Moves
We're not paupers, but the vast majority of our roster spots are filled already. Why should we have a bunch of money left over?
-
Free Agency Day - Non-Bombers CFL News
If you hear Walters' comments today, it really is that our remaining roster needs to be filled with guys on minimum contracts. So we're losing depth pieces that we probably would have liked to keep. It's not the end of the world, but the scouts are going to be earning their keep this season. For starters and depth.

Could be the other way around. He thought he could have more playing time elsewhere.

Free Agency Day - Non-Bombers CFL News
Yeah, that’s a little disappointing.

Gray stepped stepped down one game for some reason and we all speculated that Dobson was taking the spot, but next game Gray was back.

Walters said he's likely moving on today.

They released a statement. It's on their socials and website.

I wasn't overly impressed with Haba, but DEs usually need a season to acclimate. Like GCn20 says, if he used his time, he could definitely be a candidate to make a 2nd year leap. He definitely has an edge over the other contenders at this point.

If someone "resigns", it'll be written as "retired". Figure it out.

I’m sure Schoen could get a futures contract with no bonus money if he wanted to accept it.
