Last year the Bombers announced late so they could inform all the cuts personally ... I expect the same this year .... might even take till Monday for the press release ... but there are bloggers out there digging that may get us earlier news ... and some players may twitter their goodbye

Here is a guess at the roster (I am not sure how big the PR is to start the season ... I put 12 but if it is less pick your cuts  ... they may also cut more receivers  and keep some Canadian projects they drafted)

He got cut, so he won't be on the ir.

I believe it’s 10. 

You were correct, it goes up to 15 in the fall.

Happy to see Bryant made it. I thought he looked really good.

Not including Nichols, Leggett, and Wild, this leaves us with 50 players.  26 International, 24 National.  They will have to shuffle a few onto the injured lists.  But here is my take on the depth chart:

I guess Thompkins made the best impression of the receivers??? Ok. 

Yeah thats a head scratcher. I literally heard nothing about him during camp or the games, except for his crack back penalty last night. Not sure what they see in him over guys like White and Coney that actually stood out at times.

Interesting, they held on to Felix Ménard-Brière.

Well he did catch a touchdown last night too.

Forgot about that but i still find it surprising

yeah, FMB not getting cut caught my eye too. Wonder if they're trying to trade him?

It was a beautifully executed fade route. He also was just out of bound on the 2 point convert.  I'm not surprised he made it. He looks tough and physical and can also make big plays. Some guys don't look so good in practice but when the physicality comes into play they stand out more.

Stash him on the1 gm all year.  He'll probably be our kicker next season.

I assume mgmt wasn't enamored with White's drops in both games.

surprised that Bighill made it, heard he was on the bubble.  Oh sorry just channeling my inner "The Source" there for a second.

I suppose if they tried to move him to the P.R. he would receive other offers, always a place for the Bombers cast-off kickers in the East.

looks like Bighill is stuck with #50

He had speed but not much physicality but yah drops don't help.

Medlock was already considering retirement this season. So if he's truely close to retirement lets let FMB punt and have him learn each day in practice from Medlock so he can take over all 3 duties when Medlock retires.

I'm surprised Morgan made the team over Branning & Conteh.

You know when Denmark was a rookie it was other guys who grabbed the attention in camp yet Denmark remained and did damned well. Sometimes it's not about the few big plays it is the consistency.

I can just see Chris Jones, sitting hatless, dressed in black, with telephone in hand, in a spitting frenzy, because he now can fill his roster with other team’s National deletions. 

His master plan is coming together..

I'm convinced, he's the illegitimate child of Col. Tom Parker.

I'm surprised about Faith and Montgomery.

Well apparently contrary to popular belief, you DON'T gotta have Faith

A George Michaels fan eh. 

And I am not necessarily blaming Walters for the wasted pick on Faith.  Who knows what happened,  Faith didn't live up to some expectation is all I think.
