kind of surprising, but not really..... news just broke on TSN radio VIA Jeff Hamilton.

He hasn't really seemed engaged this year.  Maybe being under-utilized.  But if he was becoming a problem in the room, whining about not getting the ball, I'm fine with this move!

Get someone in there who actually wants to play!  I'm sure the salary saving isn't going to hurt us either!

I can't say I'm very surprised. I keep waiting for him to have a breakout game but never has. He's dropped lots of passes and hasn't used his physicality the way he did in the past. Disappointed but it's time to promote some players from the NFL. 

Not remotely a surprise. He’s been bad. 

I think we were all (Bomber brass included) waiting for that breakout game... and 10 games into the season the team decided that it was not coming...

Very disappointing.  Hopefully this means another receiver is on the way because it's not like the guys on the PR have shown much. 

Wonder if Darvin is healthy

Sheed Bailey has shown some potential but ... yeeeeah. 

He was also very clearly not a fit with what we were trying to do.

Has Darvin been practicing at all?

Getting open and catching passes.

This is really bad timing, maybe related to vet. cut down day?  Would have been nice to get the back to back with Regina out of the way first.

Well....Bailey did look like our best most polished guy in camp...silky smooth great route runner and fast with ball in his mitts..and thick strong body type...and biding his time on the P.R working hard...so let's see him get the chance now...he'd be another unknown for the Sask defense to contend with...

bringing back Weston Dressler for Labour Day!???

The Bombers may have a Neg list guy on the radar, not just former CFLers 

Wow. Big splash signing, gets hurt, does nothing, gets hurt, gets stabbed, does nothing. What a bust.

A real shame. 😕

I mean...

After missing two stretches of time due to injury, Chris Matthews made 12 catches on 23 targets for 180 yards and a touchdown in the six games he suited up for this season.

'Chris Matthews is a beast. Pretty hard for any receiver to flourish in this offence. This one might come back to haunt them.' Doug Brown Twitter

Doug isn’t wrong but Matthews was just a guy getting paid to be more than that. 

Whatever, Doug.

Adams seems to flourish.

We are team drama this week 😂

The Ghost of Chris Matthews signing just tells me not to expect much from new imports at camp.

Ghost of Chris Matthews? He was productive last year, played at pace where he would have had over 1100 yards receiving.

I doubt if frosty has ever seen him play. The only guy I know who always wants to talk about the Jets on chat when the Bombers are playing when no one wants to. Like who gives a **** about the Jets when the Bombers are playing?

Just wanna say called it and people( @rebusrankin @SpeedFlex27 @Noeller) owe me scalps

Having said that I think he was our best receiver ATM and this comes out of no where and makes no sense.

The one thing I know that must be true is that he did not test positive for steroids

KINDA agree with Brown...And yes Adams flourished...but he also gets a tonne of targets

He wasn’t making the kind of catches he was being paid to make. Darvin was practicing last week.

Sometimes I wonder how other teams can trade their scraps and we cant find partners for a good talent. #SMH

Should have just traded him for a bag of balls.

Most news worthy thing he did wasn't on the field, can't say I'm surprised, the contract he got deserved more production doesn't matter the offence
