Noeller Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 @JohnDHodge 2m2 minutes ago More I can confirm that linebacker Sam Hurl will not be returning the #Bombers in 2018. #CFL SPuDS and JCon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxon Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I find it interesting. Here we are several hours after the start, and none of the Bomber free agents have signed elsewhere as yet. Yes there are rumours, and yes some likely will, but I suspect that the money isn't much greater than what they may have been offered here. Either that or they are trying to get the Bombers to match what they are being offered because perhaps it's not so bad here.

Westerman, for sure but who else? Heath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueandgold Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Jake Thomas is one guy who would be nice to re-sign in case we need to go Canadian at DT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have inside info, but I'm sure they would have put an offer in front of Bond, Heath, Normand, Thomas and Westerman. Clearly not enough to get it done, but I don't believe they would have said "off you go" without some kind of offer. They may have said "we don't see you in our future" to Denmark, JFG, Hurl, and Knox, although they may have made a specialty team offer to Hurl with a significant pay cut.

Westerman is going to kick himself in November of 2018 if he doesn't re-sign here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was reported on Twitter today (I believe Jeff Hamilton, but don't quote me..) that the Bombers offered Westerman "a very healthy offer" and he turned them down...

17to85 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I don't begrudge players looking to get the most money they can, but at the same time, sometimes it's better to just not expect too much and take the good deal in the good situation. Otherwise you could end up like Dennis over in gapperland where your big contract gets ripped up when you don't earn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like only yesterday that Coach would sing Hurl’s praises like he was a cross between Rain Man and **** Butkus...a MLB with such vision and understanding of our system that he doesn’t need to rack up those gaudy stats (tackles) in order to hold a position of glory on the field. Now he’s not coming back? I guess the experiment failed. Floyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 His assurances that he won’t throw an individual under the bus is probably a big reason guys love playing here, so I’ll take it. hurl is gone.

You mean accountability like losing your spot on the team? Just because you want guys raked over the coals publicly and O'Shea doesn't do that does not mean there is no accountability.

No need to act like a ****** towards someone who played his guts out for us. Again, talking like that about a guy after he's left is a **** move.
