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.

1.2 Mil just for Reilly, Burnham and Chungh

so in Chungh..Reilly..Burnham alone they have coughed up probably close to 1.2...1.3 million in cap space...and also added Durant...and looking at Jeffesron..Micha Johnson?/...how the hell can a team do that and field a team around them?

Re-sign Bond!

So if they go Jefferson, Lee and Elim... that's up to 2 million in cap space...

I hear he wants to make a play for Kyle Conner too.

Once you start...

I would imagine that this would be to allow Gray some time to get settled in before taking over the job.  How do we also lose Loeffler and make up a canadian starter somewhere else?

Well I guess we have to get Brandon Bridge.

Was Kyle Walters kidnapped?

At this point im in on throwing a bunch of money at Willie Jefferson

Pretty much guys we need..or are targeting are all still unsigned..patience

and, as other teams blow their wads on the big ticket items it means there's less money to go around to the ones who are left standing so their price goes down. Honestly it's smart by Walters. To me the best FA deals are the ones that aren't the premium ones. 

We need a couple of new NI starters, not Willie Jefferson.

Non issue, handled internally, next question. 

We can afford a Jefferson..Acki and adeleke I bet

If you can't have the best QB, you best have the best Defense.

Other teams are   pursuing them too. So the more the Bombers delay their move the more chance of losing them.

Who says they're delaying?

In terms of passing yardage last season Reilly and Masoli were 1 and 2.  Reilly missed the playoffs and Masoli was eliminated when the ticats D gave up 46 points.

How do you know the Bombers are not speaking with these players reps as we speak...

BLM and Harris are considered among the best though. And, Reilly is a champ. Got to get past all of them.

To me Harris is not at the same level as the other two.  He had probably the best offence around him in the league. Star studded receiving core and top notch receivers. Despite this he struggled mightely at times and even got yanked.   What won Calgary the cup was their defense against Winnipeg and Ottawa.  You still need a competent offense but i think winnipeg can have that with the qb's they have under contract if they add the right pieces around them.
