So, looking ahead....what's our off season going to look like? Coaches and GM all still under contract, right? Players? Who's going to the NFL? Who do we think might bolt in FA? Pieces that we'd like to see the WBB pick up in FA?

And maybe back up through Chicago to sign Stove.  Getting the entire starting front 4 would be great.

 

This, THIS is how you promote the CFL. Are you listening, Randy?

 

 

They have enough guys now for a starting Dline, Willie, Thomas, Sayles and Jeffcoat

Stanley is a formality, he usually signs in the after a few others fall...as He is the kind of guy who will let others get signed first who need a bump...thats who he is..he's at the top of his payscale basically, so fair...is fair to him

I don't if people really understand how much of big deal it is that the Bombers brought the cup down to Texas for Willie and Jackson. In my time I have never remember players outside Canada getting some time with the cup.

You are right every year about this.

It would require someone to go with the Cup everywhere, but every player should get a day with it like the Stanley Cup.

only guys we will lose are NFL tryouts...and when they are done....they as well will be back

 

 

Great day for signings. Put a smile on my face.

Twitter says 175k for Jeffcoat, fwiw....

Plus <225 for Jefferson

Chris Jones brought the Cup with him back to the US a few years ago. TSN did a segment on TV about it. 

I wonder if the Bombers will put together a video of the Cups' trip to Texas.

Good point in there about building the team. It's not just the Canadian Mafia that built it, the players did too. They've taken ownership of this team and seem to consider it part of their responsibilities. It's the culture.

The mafia is generally used to refer to the trinity of wade most and walters. But its really, really deep. danny mac, goveia, soo many players, coaches, and un sung franchise workers. The 01 team was a small group of mafioso, this team is a dynasty because they own the mafia standard top to bottom. Bill walsh talked about that in his book the score takes care of it self. That the day he took over he sat down with every one out side of football operations. He made sure that every thing, from the way the place was cleaned to how to phones were answered was done the 49er way. The mafia have done the exact same thing here. They didnt build a roster or a team, they built a franchise that would stand as a dynasty.

Before MOS, Walsh was my favourite football coach. Doing things the right way.

I don't want to lose Kongbo. You make a good point about every team sharing reps at DE. I still think he wants to be a starter and have a chance to put up bigger numbers.

I think Kongbo gets another NFL look and sticks down there for a bit.

Yup....I think tho if NFL doesnt pan out he will be back...Cnsidering we have Jeffcoat at a steal of a price, helps in bumping up Kongbo
