Bear Woods was cut by the Als. Wondering if a 204 number will be showing up on his call display soon?

Its like the trump president reign so far. The riders like trump are appealing to what we call "stupid idiots" .  There are lots of dumbasses in america and apparently quite a few in rider land.

Bombers went looking for a "bull" receiver last year, from the candidates they've brought in this year I'm not sure that is still a priority....but it should be.

Does 6'3, 230 fit the bill?

They would've known about this guy for a while, so I'm wondering what it was that took him so long to come up. He was Zavian Bingham's teammate at Jackson State last year - they wanted Bingham too, but SSK neg-listed him.

He signed with Oakland at the end of April... doesn't seem to be any mention of when he was released anywhere though.

I think it would depend on his attitude as much as his size.  What made a certain wide-bodied receiver (who began his CFL career in Calgary) so effective was his delight in punishing the D-backs who tried to tackle him.  Towards the end of some games, they would sort wave at him as he went by them.

So long?  He was draft eligible this year.  I'd say he found his way up here pretty quick.

More what I'm getting at is was it his choice to not be here for the start of camp because of NFL opportunities or is he a late add because he's far down our list?

Because he looks good. He looks like what we want Gerrard Sheppard to be. I'm watching his highlight film and literally half of it is him destroying guys on blocking assignments or chasing down kicks on specials.

Definitely like the sounds of that.  He's got a little CFL/Bombers connection already too... his OC in 2014/15 was Tim Chang.

Certainly one of the better video presentations I've seen in awhile, good football too.

 

His 40 time is really impressive for a guy that size.

So the Redblacks have already cut the guy they drafted in the second round in 2016 right ahead of Calhoun, and three spots ahead of Loffler.

How bad do you have to be to get cut as a 6'4" Canadian defensive back with a high pre-draft ranking and one year under your belt?

As for Justin Warden, I'm surprised they hung on to him this long as I can't recall ever seeing him involved in a play nor heard his name mentioned since he joined the club in 2015.  He must have contributed something as he outlasted both Brendan Morgan and Teague Sherman.

Pretty sure he was never actually on the active roster.  He got cut after training camp in 2015 and went back to school.  Then he got added to our PR in September 2016, came back for camp this year, and now he's gone.

One hell of a video. Looks like quite the receiver, too.

This guy looks like a excellent prospect. Big and Strong, just what every team needs. someone mentioned the Raiders, might be confusion there Oakland had a DT by same name who was cut as a cap move.

When I see D. Williams on the back of his jersey I just wanna call him Billy

I see the riders have traded national guard Vonk to Montreal for an import db...question asked is....why???

 

Not like Vonk was all world and all but he is decent depth on what is still a work in progress and an injury away from disaster there for their line, and ratio
