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.

 

Fenner is a right assassin on ST's too...

Huge pick-up and multiple places he can play..Nice back-up plan too if Moe isn't ready to start right away...but almost certain he will be

This is what I was thinking as well. He slots right in at HB if Moe is healthy, and if (God forbid) he isn't or gets re-injured, we have a great internal replacement at SAM.

I’ve never even heard of Fenner. Is he good?

Really upgrading today. 

Even without a MLB our D looks solid.

And I would add VERY to the description....on a 2 year deal as well

Fenner is exactly the kind of guy i was looking for.  Somebody who can help replace Heath but also can fill in for Leggett if he gets injured.

Yeah an area of concern/weakness now seems like a really strong spot

A starting 5 of say Gaitor..Fenner..Loffler...Randle and one of Walker/Alexander/Clarke/Fogg as the 5th and 6th guy looks really good to me...Mix in Leggett at sam and a very nice group

Gaitor is very meh.

Had fallen off a bit but we'll get him back to form....He was considered a bright light in the leo's camp at one time....We'll have to re-light the light

he became meh as a result of system there I think...and at the worst would be a pretty damn good 5th db coming in at the nickel package

If the Riders would of signed him he'd be an all star and future HOF er 

I hope other team pickup Hurl so we could move on from him.

I can confirm that linebacker Sam Hurl will not be returning the #Bombers in 2018. #CFL

If a team is looking for a special teams guy, Hurl is their guy and would be a good pick up. If they are thinking more than that, please refer to Bombers gametape from previous seasons.

Gonna need a new whipping boy on game days, not really surprised all the best 

I hope Sam finds a home....He is a special teamer that could catch on somewhere...He was not what we needed in the middle.....and that's being kind

Oh snap!

Hard to take pleasure in this development, but Hurl was not good enough. I'm sure he knew it.
