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.

Seems like he fits the mold of the kind of player the team wants to have...  a non selfish hard working team player.

Sounds like you are describing Darian Durant!

Streveler seem like perfect back up is going to work his tail off but is not about rocking the boat about playing time.

He watched Nichols all last season so he knows who and what he is trying get past..... maybe that is why he is so calm cool and collected (?)

 

Looks like Williams could be a good find

Yeah, ah seen ‘um look & chuck it that way all the time. 

He did it sooner faster An better than Matt did.

 

well with the CFL endzones he will have even more room to grab a fade

Many YouTube highlighters are called.  Few are chosen.

Williams is 6'2" and ran a 4.4 at his pro day, back in 2016.

Yup- I think our locker room and team culture would enable Jefferson to thrive. 

If we follow the logic of "the locker room will straighten him out", then would not the next step to sign a certain wide receiver ie: Duron Carter? God knows, the talent is there.

Winning the cup this year with Carter would be hilarious....

High risk, high possible reward, but I'm pretty sure that Mr. Carter is not open to change.

I have thought about it when he was released from Sask. was on the fence then about it...

Given how much (lack thereof) he was a distraction and head case over there... I would sign him. He showed growth in Tor. and I would assume he would show more with the Bombers.

You only sign Duron Carter if you exhausted all other options and need a last ditch effort at receiver....

Duron Carter will never ever be a Bombers player while MOS is around...

Yup. Even last year when Popp went out and got him, Trestman refused to play him. When a coach would rather lose his job than to put a player in that might help, you know he's cancerous.

Given the progress of the Bombers have made.... in turning this into a place, where the right kind of guys want to play........picking up a Carter, would simply be a step backwards.  Let some one else deal with that drama.

Well, it worked out well for Trestman...

Not even to mention the guy hasn't done bupkus in two years on the field either.

Carter is an undeniable athletic star who has been coddled and excused. Hi sense of entitlement will probably not allow him to humble himself enough to be a team player. He will probably always be a half-baked star-in-waiting hiding in the weeds.

I thought there's a pre-free agency press con today ?

Yeah, definitely was supposed to be a Walters presser today at 11am CST........

They're just finishing the paperwork on the Chungh and Loffler signings before the presser...
