If there is anything that deserves a thread of its own its this Tuesdays looming bidding wars.

Lets start with 3Down Nation's top 5 negotiations for our Blue:

http://3downnation.com/2017/02/12/top-five-free-agent-targets-bombers/

1. DL Jabar Westerman, B.C. Lions

2. LB Winston Venable, Montreal Alouettes

3. RB Kienan Lafrance, Ottawa Redblacks

4. DL Drake Nevis, Hamilton Tiger-Cats

5. DB Jovon Johnson, Montreal Alouettes

I like the idea of what a 2nd Westerman would do for our D_line for years to come. Getting Venerable could mean a road to the Grey Cup so I would break the bank with whatever we have left and spend it on those two.

Wow no love for Bass on this board... or Burnett.

I wasn't a fan of either truth be told.

LaFrance is exactly the kind of depth player we need. I'll be sick if we spend that money on Hurl instead.

Seen a lot of stuff on Twitter saying the Bombers having a really bad day, especially if they "miss out on" Westerman and LaFrance.....I dunno about that. I feel pretty good about things today...

Nevis alone makes this day a win.  But other then westerman speculation with Montreal (but as Mike said for what they signed already makes no sense anymore) and no word on LaFrance anywhere,  still lots of time.  I think last year there were more signings on day 2 then day 1

actually, Chungh alone makes this day a win. Nevis was a bonus...

well I'm speaking more about free agency,  Chungh was playing for us in 2017 regardless of the news today, but yes that started the day off beautifully

 

 

Jacory Harris, I'm assuming.

LaFrance's "ask" may delay his signing for a few days.

Any updates on Cwill? I wonder when he'll be back from his ACL injury, if hes scheduled to miss a substantial amount of time I wonder if we could make a play for him.

BC was supposedly working something out with him

Good day for Ottawa and Montreal

Montreal, yeah

Ottawa? Not sure I see it. They traded Jackson + Williams for Shaw + Spencer, Kanneh for Jefferson and ... added some Canadian depth pieces?

I don't love our day either. But meh.

Can we stick to the Queen's English and not use rapper names?  Who the **** is Cwill?

Any guesses what Wild makes? I'm interested to know how big of a difference there is in pay between him and Burnett.

Chris Williams, I'm guessing

Did I just blow your blow your simple mind with those abbreviations?

If we get props for keeping Chungh and Hurl, you have to consider MacMillan and Gavin's signing a success.

Bass is a big signing... 

Official now

I don't how today is a bad day for us?   What did we lose out on?
