Seeing them on the field, yes. Hearing all of Rod Black's terrible nicknames for the duo, no thanks.

Jeff-squared...

Bombers with the Jeffs...

Running a Jeff-sweep on the quarterback...

I'm fairly sure Randle was moved out to make room for Bighill and Jeffcoat.

Roster management. Guy not making enough of an impact to justify his salary. *shrug*

Too much Rider stink on Jefferson for my liking. That was a team full of individuals and he was part of it. 

Yep & when the Riders really needed him in the WDSF he disappeared. He's a selfish player.

[Booch]

When you have a defence full of them though...him..Hughes..Edam..Purifoy..Gainey...well the overall result when it matters is inevitable..and was seen. Most of the guys on the Ssk defense were more concerned with their personal stats/acco;ades than the success of the unit as a whole it seems...now isolating one guy on a "team" well thats a different story

Hughes faded down the stretch. Does he have another 18 games left in him? He'd be one big salary that if I was O'Day, I'd shed. 

[Booch]

YEAH I wouldn't be surprised if he is cut loose prior to free-agency, or just after the feeding frenzy...he totally disappeared after labour day...plus they are already wayyy over paying Evans (170K LAST YEAR) and are going to need to sign a QB..and want Jefferson back...so thats a salary that could be shed

[M.O.A.B.]

If Im Walters Id rather pursue Junior Turner

He's faded down the stretch the last few seasons.

Big salary. Big stats first half of season but is finished by game 16... Only problem is there are 18 games plus playoffs & Grey Cup. But there are thos cameras on the sidelines to mug to. That takes a lot out of a guy. So tiring to act like a goof.

The best part about picking up Jefferson if it happens is to avoid Nichols having to face him again!

Hughes disappeared only to be found later passed out on the side of the road with his truck motor still running. 🍺 🍺🍺 🍺 🍹 🍺 🍺

We need a receiver with the nick name "Show Time"

Hope he lives up to it.

Bailey has decent size (6'1" and 210) but his CV is pretty darned thin. Money shouldn't be an issue- he apparently earned $94,000 total in 2 years of football.

Doesn't look all that fast but seems to get clear of defenders and comes down with contested catches, looks like he has good hands.

Good highlight reel but would have liked to see him blocking for other receivers.

The fact his highlight reel for one year is almost 13 mins. long suggests he caught a lot of balls.

Nichols making $455k this year...  for sure BLM and Reilly get 550-600+...

Can't tell if Dunk is advocating for Bombers cutting Nichols in January... now that its February ha

CS: I don’t really think about the NFL at all right now. Because I’m in the CFL, and that’s where I’m trying to succeed. Everyone has goals, and I want to have a long football career and I’m in the CFL, so I’d love to do that here. But in order to do that you have to take it one day at a time and get better, because everyone up there is a professional and they’re working every day to get better, too.

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