For some teams, the CFL Offseason is here. Rather than lose all the coaching movement discussions to the Regular season thread, I thought we could start putting it here.

Those teams currently lost in the wilderness:

Ottawa

Toronto

BC

Montreal

Calgary

Edmonton

Saskatchewan

Hamilton

The champs are here.. the champs are here... Winnipeg*

 

*Grey Cup Champions

1st overall and a 3rd round pick for a back up qb.... great trade by Calgary.

 

If you think Arbuckle is the long term answer at QB, first overall and a third is a steal of a deal.

Drop off in stats does not mean drop off in performance. To keep his performance level high, the Bombers may wish to give him fewer touches, so each time he does touch the ball, he has the same impact. 

He seems ageless but at some point, the miles will catch up with him. 

It’s a sad thought but if we’re realistic, the fall off a cliff production-wise is coming at some point in the relatively near future for Harris. 33-year old running backs that are even remotely productive are extremely rare. Not saying it’s a certainty but I think every good performance we get from Harris from here on out is a bonus.

Not with the stuff he's on! (Just kidding)

 

It seems like when a RBs time is up, it ends all at once. Let's hope we can keep him healthy and productive through another championship season or two or three.

It is a steal of a deal if he proves you right.

Otherwise you got maybe a backup.

Good deal for Calgary regardless 

hot take: Arbuckle still gonna sign in Tronna

Arbuckle will sign in Wpg

Collatos will sign in Ott

 

Just a wish

Ottawa's first two picks every year are an undersized OL who struggles to transition to guard or a center and a H-Back/fullback.

They don't draft well is my point, so yeah they probably wouldn't get great value.

It's a steal for Calgary though.  Almost unbelievable.  Even if Ottawa wins the bidding war they lose IMO.  Hard to believe there's not a pick swap with that condition, like maybe they get Calgary's 6th overall pick for the 1st if Arbuckle signs.

Arbuckle was leaving no matter what.... if they can get two great picks then that's fantastic. 

It’s a swap of first round picks.

Time to groom the heir apparent, I guess.

This is exactly right.... IF they have acquired a future franchise QB... first overall means nothing...

Usually grooming a tailback means signing them & finding the best one to play. Then cutting the guy he replaces. Don't think we're there yet with Harris. Besides, he'll never be cut. He'll retire.

Is this the guy Gruden cut for being disinterested?

Edit: Yup

 

“You know what? Let’s get some of these [expletive] guys out of here that don’t want to play,” Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said to a staff member. “If we’re not going to listen to the trainer, who are we going to listen to?”

Ollie was subsequently cut, and viewers saw his locker being cleaned out by a member of the Oakland equipment staff. The Raiders signed NFL veteran Ethan Westbrooks to take his place during training camp.

Just shocking that Farhan loves the staff

For those who are sweating with anticipation, this ^^ is the kind of announcement I expect the Bombers to make very soon. 

A full staff announcement when everyone is in place.

Uhhhhh......Danny O'Brien was their backup QB last year,  did he announce his retirement before or after Campbell came aboard?
