Okay, so the off season officially begins now that the Grey Cup is over. Lots of topics for discussion in the months to come with the Bombers & the League. A new CBA needs to be negotiated sooner rather than later.  Will there be an eventual agreement or a lockout? How much will the salary cap go up? Randy Ambrosie is on record that wants the cap to significantly go up so that is a positive.  Will Bo Levi Mitchell sign with an NFL or perhaps another CFL team? What about Mike Reilly & Trevor Harris who are also free agents? There's a new start up league called the  AAFL & there are legit concerns that it'll draw star CFL players away or hamper free agent signings with CFL teams. Coaching changes in BC & Toronto. The continuing evolving story of the expansion Halifax Schooners & possible exhibition games in Mexico.

Jennings is a Hail Mary QB... he was never going to become a star.

I didn't say he would be. I was talking about Collaros.

Collaros and Willy were supposed to be the next big things. Both got killed behind crappy olines.

Ummm... no.  Willy was never the next big thing.  He was the next 'fairly good' QB...

Collaros' career was destroyed by us I think... can't remember which Bomber absolutely rocked him on the blind side - I thought it was our safety...

Jennings is a waste of time.

Riders rolling the dice again on Collaros sounds like Plan C or D.

jennings imo is way better then bishop was at this stage of his career. weve seen crazier things in the cfl, but at this point id say he is what he is. a very poor mans version of mike reilly.

I think it would be more typical Montreal if Loffler were 35 years old.

Crikey, the RedBlacks lost in Grey Cup in Edmonton. They liked losing so much at Commonwealth, they all moved there to lose more often.

Good luck to the guy. He'll be in chase mode all the time.

Desjardins not looking like the genius GM anymore.

They're completing ignoring who left. 

Touting Ellingson but ignoring Walker and Williams. 

They lost Grymes. Sherritt was a shell of his former self but still the leader back there. 

They ignore Harris' many many (many) warts.

Agreed. As it stands now, they're worse at qb, receiver, DL (lost Ceresna), & db. They got better at ol & lb.

Yeah for all those signings you can conceivably say they actually regressed

Great line from Rob Vanstone on a reason the Riders couldn’t contend for a top tier QB - (“The offensive scheme, built around the talents of punter Josh Bartel, is hardly an attraction.”)

👁‍🗨 Whoa Ottawa. Not reading Free Agency right at all. Big losses on offence. Harris, Sir Vincent, Ellingson and Powell.

👁‍🗨 Drama king, BL Mitchell teasing Sask and Toronto when he knew all along he was going back to Calgary.

👁‍🗨 Faux pas for Saskatchewan to chase Mitchell and not Harris. At least Harris was “getable”.

👁‍🗨 Saskatchewan. Why not Lulay over Collaros?

👁‍🗨 Big signings by BC and Edmonton to win the first day of Free Agency. (Slight advantage to BC IMO)

👁‍🗨 Derel Walker 275,000 asking price? Wow 😲 

This quote is always fitting during free agency. #CFLFA - Didier Orméjuste

“Don't mistake activity for achievement.”

-John Wooden

👁‍🗨 Sask signs 34 year old Cory Watson. Really?

👁‍🗨 Randle’s release tied to bonus money due..

Day 2 coming up - Will we be on the receiving end of more good news?

Spooner to Esks and Fogg to Argos

Lankford to Ottawa...

Whoa, imagine Jennings to Lankford.

Yeah, neither can I.
