For minor off-season Bomber news.  Any significant stories or news that are likely to generate significant discussion may have their own thread created.

Going to try going with the two threads again for the off season.    One for Bomber news, one for CFL news.   These threads should be used for general / minor day to day news, tweets, etc.  A catch all for tidbits that people want to share to keep everyone up to date on the goings and comings of the league.

Any news, tweets, and signings that is likely to generate significant discussion may have their own threads created.

In all probability Loffler is pricing himself out of the Bombers roster, just because of his passport no way do I give him close to what he is asking

they just re-upped hardly adequate Edem...any highlight of him I recall last year is usually in chase being beat for a TD

Wolitarsky owned him in last year's WSF.

So did Adams in the second game in Winnipeg 

Edem's resume, taunting, late hits and generally dirty play.

Perfect fit in Saskabush.

How would Willie Jefferson fit here if he didn't make the NFL?

Hodge also said the bombers were tight for money and didn’t have a lot of cash for free agency. 

 

Can anyone confirm this? Any idea how close we are cap wise?

I think they have more money than people think

I don't see it myself. We have 70K extra from the Durant situation last year. We freed up a bunch of money on Randle, Wild, Leggett, and Goosen. Rumour is that we'll lose Chungh and Loffler. That's a ton of SMS room.

Hodge has no clue...we got rid of Randal..Leggett..most likely Dressler..Opo...Wild..Lafrance..Goosen salaries...and only real big increase has been to Biggie...plus signed only a whack of teams guys really..Bryant and Medlock most likely got minimal raises..so to say we are tight to cap at this point is extremely laughable....

Consider the source.

Medlock took a pay cut too. When you look at some team is going to pay Mike Reilly 600k the Bombers might be paying all of their QB just over that. Another team will pay well over 500k for Harris. 

yeah...seeing as we are already settled at the QB spot..as well as the QB on defense and only 1 o-line position that we could conceivably even go with what we have...we are sitting pretty nice for free agency and being able to really go hard for the guys we want...shall be interesting to see what we do for the ratio..I think we may see some intriguing surprises in that regard

Kyle Walter's to me has shown that he knows how to manage the cap. He is always a player in free agency.

Derel walker please.

Walker Posey Burnham any will do

Taylor “Lofty Ask” Loffler cannot be serious with that expectation. Neither can Hodge. Although I did see better play from him last year, I’ve considered him more of a sightseer, looking for that all-star hit. And that’s what got noticed. If that’s the best the league has in the West, then that position has fallen off badly.

Bombers and Loffler miles apart? Good. That’s a good safety cheque.

Burnham catches everything, inside, outside and deep, signing him would be crazy good for the offence 

Count me in on Burnham...the guy just makes catches ...reliable and smooth...IF B.C. is successful in their rumored quest for Riley it'll cost...taking a lot off the table for re-signing their fa's...Make a very sound offer and see what happens with Burnham...If nothing else it'll give Hervey fits...Lot's of conjecture with my take but ain't that what fa is all about...A few other quality receivers out there as well

I like the idea of Adelke myself as Booch suggested.

The Bombers can free up money by not renewing certain free agents if they want.

I never knew how badly I wanted a guy named Scoot Simmons on the team until just now....

If you like that name then you will really wish for the Bombers to draft this guy:

Sounds like a possible Goossen , but who knows how good he really is?
