Around the League: 2019 Off Season

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.

    My mom went into the bomber store years ago to buy me a jersey and Moreno was in there.  She met him and said he was a good looking fella so she bought me his jersey.  So pretty much I got his jersey

  • I hate that ******* ginger with a fiery passion for all he did to us over the years..............but............I respect the hell out of him as a CFL QB.

Menard would be useful to us.

Vandervoort will land somewhere.

He's already peed on all four corners of his desk.

Why vaillancourt?

Is Vaillacourt worth a look?

I wouldn't mind seeing Vandetvoot in TC

If the Bombers are serious about a National playing a DT position, then a freebie like David Menard, is a must look see at TC.

I'd take a flyer on Vandervoort

He was supposed to be the next big thing

Hey, Jade has more than 1 catch. Compared to Vandervoot his production is Poplawskian.

Not sure if its been posted yet but fun fact.  James Wilder Jr attended the most recent WWE Performance Centre try out camp.

It's looking like #Packers will play Oakland in Winnipeg for preseason game No. 3. Mark Murphy said on it looks like details will be worked out. If not, they could still end up at Lambeau Field.

A little bird told me this is pretty much a go

Im, sure he will get a look somewhere this year. IMO he doesn't stack up to the NIs we have now. Peterman and Simonise are head and shoulders above him as a developmental player with less time in the league. Plus Olivera has hands. He isn't as fast as Demski, but he is kinda similar in skill set. Our NI depth on the offense is impressive.

or at any time between 13 months ago, and the past 10+ years. Its a nice change of pace.  

Husband retired in BC. I'm not sure what their depth is like on that Oline, but it just got weaker.

Soooo.....BC is divorced by their Husband?

So many people think BC is going to suddenly be dominant this year.. a great QB Reilly most definitely is.. but will he have a enough of a supporting cast??

I don't see the BC Lions' situation being any better than the one in Edmonton last year- if anything, its worse. I hope Reilly's next of kin has been alerted and he has a health-care directive in place.
