Sorry but I don't like the total silence coming out of Bomberville, but that's just me; I like action and news  like all of you.  Yes we've extended a contract or two and we are distributing the year-end money before the 2018 salary cap  comes in.

But what are the deep thinkers in our organization planning to do?

 I hope they are not thinking status quo; that never seems to work out well. Unless we are dedicated to making sharp improvements here and there, I believe we atrophy from last year.  

After the 2017 NFL cuts were made did we bring in any linebackers for a sniff? I saw other prospects up here but maybe I missed something.

We have got to fix what's broken and I think somehow management must know more than we do ... we are good prognosticators with our comments on this site but I would like management to show us up. 

We are not hearing a lot of news out of the Calgary and Edmonton football clubs so maybe our Blue Bombers are an elite club now (as we join those two in their silence). 

But man I hate twiddling my thumbs as I wait to see what our local gurus are going to do. No news is bad news, say the bored ...  Well at least were not coming off seasons like Ottawa Hamilton and Montréal had.

So maybe I should be grateful for our club and its management.

Cup of queso for me, please.  I want to slow my heart rate in advance of FA.

Unlike Heath.. Westerman has not changed his profile pic on twitter. 

Means nothing but.. 

Westerman will be open to returning to the Bombers, he just wants a pay raise.  At 160k for the last 2 years, Walters won't want to go where Westerman thinks his paycheque belongs.  If no GM is interested in going north of 170k for Westerman, he could easily be back in blue and gold this season.  I get the impression he likes it here quite a bit.

Well, poop... Looks it's down to Woods and Reed.

If you cant get one of those LB I would put that money back towards Westerman.

Gonna go ahead and guess Bombers dont sign a MLB today now.

I'm curious about the timing. A lot of frantic phone calls at noon (eastern) today.

Id imagine 90 percent of the deals are already done lol.

For sure. But if Westerman is giving the Bombers a chance to match the Als offer, he would have to wait. So, there are probably a few outstanding decisions to be made.

Yes. He's in the 10 percent lol

Well that sucks about Dean, I'd certainly take one of Reed or Woods as well but Dean would have been my 1st pick.

As for the prediction that Thomas goes to sask... thanks for angrying up my blood. ABS!  (anyone but sask)

 

We need a MLB, above anything else.....

But... Woods and Reed are the only 2 out there and sounds like Ottawa may sign Reed shortly. 

That's ok.....we will just recruit one....

Because he wants to. Id imagine he didn't sign for much last year. Woods to Ottawa? Reed to the peg?

Wild/Konar-JSK/Jones-Leggett/Fogg please...!!

 

John Hodge @JohnDHodge

Wouldn't be surprised if the #BCLions added two offensive lineman today -- one of them being Travis Bond. #Bombers #CFL

Man, sucks Dean is going back to the Hammer

Disappointing if the bombers stand pat on defence. More so the secondary for me. I’m ok with JSK at middle LB and Wild at WLB if he can stay healthy. 

Its been 45 minutes and no Bomber news! What is Walters doing? I demand answers! I'm posting live from outside IGF with a torch and pitchfork.
