I'm hoping that Kyle and Co. seeing as Mulumba wants their offer increased or have rights traded step up and make him happy....Be prorated for this year if he comes and could be a significant help for final push.

If deemed not worthy of it next year...which I would highly doubt he wouldn't be then can always move him at or after camp. We have saved money with Wild, Opo and Dressler on 6 game this year...now with Westerman and also dumped Johnson's salary all of which were never really re-used anywhere yet...so funds are there...time to step up and become a big player for a change and not let opportunities slide by

You think you get a first rounder for him?  Doubt it.

 

A second or third rounder or a solid NI and a neg lister seems realistic but Kavis is the Als GM so the sky may be the limit. 

Doubt all you want. Look what Walters got from Toronto for Drew Willy.

What happened to the guy who made that trade for Toronto?  That was a job ender.

I can assure you Walters shed no tears although I can understand why you'd be whining about it. Walters made the deal straight up, no cheating. Something you're not used to over there in the land of affectionate farm animals.

Ship has sailed.  Mulumba isn't coming to the CFL.  Took a dumb risk with the pick and another dumb risk holding his rights this long.  But that's the CFL Draft for you.  Find a decent player who will actually be a player and be happy.  Swing for the fences be prepared to whiff.

If I had any say in it, we would stay away from drafting any Muambas, Mulumbas, Mumbas , Mambos and and any name that has to many ‘u’s...in the surname. Just precautionary.

Seriously why would mulumba have to sign for 2018-19 now - I'd do a one year deal, what's there to lose?

 

1 year contract does not apply to a player's first CFL contract. Minimum is 2 years on their first contract. After that they can sign as many 1 year deals as they want.

Trying to act like he has other playing options when he doesn't. Not responding to Walters contract offer. The comments by his agent that the CFL lacks professionalism. Pretty obvious he doesn't want to be here. There are many players who dream of playing pro football. 

Not hearing back from the agent, likely has more to do with the fact his agent isn't legally allowed to operate in the CFL. Which was discovered after the initial talks started/after his agent ran his mouth. Also, during negotiations, you don't want the other side to think (even if it's a given) that you don't have other options. That's a really really bad tactic. Being a **** of an agent isn't great either though.

Trade him for Kyries Hebert... then our LB problem is somewhat addressed, and Hebert can come back to where it all started, win a Grey Cup and retire on top!   

Trade him for a 37-year old linebacker?... no thanks... I'd much rather have a few draft picks...

For what hes shown in the nfl when given reps, hed get a first rounder if willing to sign no doubt.  The value of a draft pick in comparison to a player you know you get right now, with nfl starts no less is dramatically higher then a first. I wouldnt expect a 1st or 2nd over all, but the als are soo poorly run any thing is possible.

I dont know if hebert would fit well enough here to take as FA. Little on trade for. Couple lower picks, some back of the roster NIs, even a few choice Nlisters would be better for sure. I do like the edge hebert plays with, and commend him for still getting it done at his age. Cant question the guys love of playing (and hitting people)

This was put in what 2 years ago? Idr. This is why we see half of each roster as FAs every year. I think its good for parity in the league. And to aid in really bad teams turning it around quickly. It also increases the value of multi year deals to guys out side of the NFL window age range.

I dont disagree with you... I'm thinking more in a 'win now' because we're right there, rather than a build for the future.  Upside to both, I just think we need an impact player in there next season.  His age aside, he's still a very good player.

Very good player on a bad teams D is a dangerous thing. Its easy to rack up a lot of tackles when you sped 3/4 of the game on the field. No doubt hes still deserving of being in the league. I wouldnt wanna take much of a risk on the guy though. Too much of a chance he either hits the wall with his age, cant play at a high level on a contender, Or gets hurt. Younger hebert I would think would be a fantastic talent for us. 

Listening to the post op presser from walters makes me want mulumba about as much as i would want chris jones involved in our franchise. 

If Bighill doesn't stick down south, I wonder if he'd consider coming here?  We'd have to back up the Brinks truck, but can you imagine having him at LB next to Santos-Knox & Leggett??

So, how good was the Bombers D-Line?

4 Bombers out of top ten in average depth of tackles.

Excellent!

I would bet next year JSK starts at MLB, and wild at wil.  Bighill would be incredible. But Its about as good a shot as **** butkus being our next starting MLBer.

Id like to see a DL pressures ranking. Jeffcoat and poop would shock some none bomber fans.

Unless they are also secretly punters. I remember us scratching our heads about this lanky quick depth WR we drafted from regina one time. Pretty good leg on em. 

I would carry sam hurl on my back home to any place in canada if it meant henoc muamba came back to be our starting mlber. 

Is Muamba a free agent?
