The question is what spot need to crack this year. I can only see one starting spot left which is weak-side HB - that's if Alexander will stay at Safety. 
These new guys need to be better than this championship team otherwise their best case scenario is on the PR.

My uneducated attempt to put up the depth chart. 

I'm not going to lie.... that depth chart made me hard.   This is a solid team with great depth. 

Still wish we could re-sign Kongbo back.

still time...if he comes back to the CFL, it'll be here. Booch says it, so take it to the bank.

When I remind myself of this, it takes me aback, especially for my son who is in grade 11 on hold with his high school football playing experience and development .

Not liking this COVID thing.

Thinking of your boy and all the high school/university athletes. Hoping they get out there soon.

Just think back to the dark days of 2013 & 14. No one wanted to coach or play here. The only guy who believed in this organization at the time back in 2015 was Stanley Bryant. He left a perennial championship contender to come play for a loser at the time. I'll always remember that. He, as a player also helped change the culture to what it is today.

I think it’s on record by people in the organization that he came here because they ponied up the most money it was the only way the were getting people here at the time.

Sure that's part of it but as I said FA players & available coaches still wouldn't come here for more money. Remember that DC from Calgary that dicked the Bombers around wanting more cash & then said no? He ended up going to the Argos as their DC & also was a former HC of the team back in the early 2000's, I beleive. What was his name???

Rich Stubler?

deon lacey, mbt and judge are the ones left im really interested to see where they land.  I think lacey would be great here though I doubt we spend money at wil.  Exume and Kongbo I really hope we manage to bring back.

No surprise there. Walters mentioned that he's about to become a father and wanted to get back to Montreal to be closer to his family.

Yes, thank you.

The Bombers are really high on Sean McGuire. That’s why they didn’t go out and sign a backup quarterback in free agency.

I mean after Streveler’s disaster against the Rams (he was used horribly), you’d have to think there’s a decent chance he’s back in the CFL by the time the season starts. 

Mitchell is a nice signing. We’ve been missing a game breaking receiver. Hopefully he’s recovered from his Achilles tear.

Used horribly? You mean because he actually had to throw the ball? Kind of a requirement for a QB. 

I don't know if there is anyone that fits the bill with this but I would like to see the team signed a guy or two that is really respected around the league that has played forever but has not won a cup. Sometimes its that extra motivation after winning a championship to get you back. Not a big need but it would make it interesting.

I hear Troy Westwood is looking for work.

So pretty much anyone that's played with Hamilton for their entire career.

No team I’ve ever worked for would have allowed us to cut Nick Arbuckle like Ottawa did. That team spent twelve months marketing him as ‘the guy.’ He moved there and was all over the community doing good things. The optics of cutting him are terrible.

I hope that the fairweather fans in Ottawa will still support the team after another crappy season....

Ok, it’s been an hour and not one person jumped on my comment and responded with “no, he said respected around the league”.

I am extremely disappointed in all of you.

Tyrell Sutton? I know we're obviously set at RB with Harris, but that would be one hell of a one-two punch.

Lol, they could also bring back any of the following former castaways:

Kevin Fogg
Taylor Loffler
Henoc Muamba

Im ok with Muamba and/or Loffler. 

Muamba can rotate at WIL and MAC. He is very good on ST too. The $ must be reasonable though.

Loffler should come in cheap but the question is, is he healthy enough to play after his recent injury.
