Bomber Moves 2018

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.

    Say what you will about Mike O'Shea but no one can ever overstate how valuable he has been in turning around the perception and culture of this franchise.

  • TSN1290 reporting that SK offered the most money, but he chose Winnipeg.

Couldn't of said it better than he did, players in this league know which way the Bombers are going.

Feel like Fenner is SAM insurance or they are anticipating Leggett starts season on IR.  That’s a lot of DBs.

My prediction is correct

don't need to brag about it ;)

 

Great call by you, well done.

Nice collection of NI’s on offense this year with still moves and draft picks to come.  Hopefully Harris can take a few fewer reps.

I don’t really see why we needed to bring Fogg back. Although, he is a good returner.

Ya that one is a bit of a head scratcher to me too because they didn’t seem to like him all that much as a DB.   He’s probably making six figures or close to it.  He’s a good returner but not a great one.  You’d think now Demski takes punts and they use Flanders and someone else on kickoffs, maybe Demski or an import receiver who takes a DI spot.

Bombers could reasonably start 5 or even 6 NI’s on O this year so lots of roster flexibility.   I’d like to see them add another receiver and a fullback/tight end.  Lots of versatile guys who can take snaps and hopefully keep everyone healthy.

They are giving Lapo a lot of the types of guys he likes to work with so no excuses for us to not have a damned good O this year. Bunch of guys who can take short passes and turn them into more. 

Wait a minute, you guys told me we had an all-star secondary and I was crazy for insisting there would be changes. I expect those who insulted me to nut up and apologize now, as if. 

Fenner on top of it all now, what a great day for Kyle. 

I wonder how much more Heath wanted....

Had more to say

60k more than BC seems a little far fetched...unless BC offered him something barley over league mini,um

Perhaps Ed Hervey wants to blow this team up.  I wouldn't be surprised if Fenner was paid north of 150k.  But who knows how much money Heath wanted.

I love these kinds of Tweets.  People can pull anything outta their ass and who can confirm/deny it...

LMAO okay... we did have an All-Star secondary in Loffler, Heath, and Randle, but especially since the signing of Gaitor and the 'freelancing' talk surrounding Heath it was pretty obvious to most (and discussed to death on this very forum) that we were likely moving on from Heath and in need of challengers for Alexander/Walker as passing yards against were deplorable last year.

But okay, we're sorry... that you're so insecure as to demand an apology (nay, apologies) on an internet forum. Hope you feel better bud! Today has been a good day.

Nice..  Good price for such a talent.  I would imagine Heath wanted a lot more for doing a lot less.

130k for Fenner is a massive overpayment...

So the Lions thought they'd re-sign Fenner for $70,000?

I think Riderfans is trying to franchise nationally.

On what planet?   I was expecting we had to pay a lot more.

130k for a starter seems pretty reasonable... or are you still salty that Heath priced himself off the team?

Just here to say that I love the use of salty in this context......fabulous.
