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?

I don't see where Harris would go if he doesn't retire. 

I doubt he wants to run behind BCs **** OL.

Calgary has Carey, Edmonton has Sir Flex-a-lot , he hates the Riders, no OL/reason to be in Ottawa for a rebuild, Als have Stanback, Hamilton has Jackson.

I suppose he could go to TO. 

 

Harris might retire and wait for an opportunity later on in the year, injuries happen

I was thinking he could "retire" and be a late season add for us down the stretch.

Think it's time for a Rose jersey.

Augustine.....too good to let go and being an NI helps a lot.....A bit crowded in the backfield but it looks like we'fre going to make it work somehow....I'd luv to see the plan  .....This kid Borsa is signed already and he's no slouch....I'd say we're set at rb for a very long time

I agree it depends on him taking a big shave. 

He is the heart and soul of that offence and would be again. 

I think that may have changed last year. Collaros really stepped up and I'm not sure it's Andrews offence anymore.

I would like Harris to come back, BUUUUUT I wouldn't want to let Brady go because of it.

Tom Brady retirement announcement type of thing going on? Didn't want to be the one to spoil his moment? GOD DAMN IT FARHAN!! Now I'm intrigued 

The "two year extension" is the most intriguing part for me. Obviously, no contracts are guaranteed but I doubt Walters would give him two years if they didn't expect him to be here for two years. 

Maybe Harris has decided to go out on top. Back to Back Grey Cups. Ending the drought. Bringing the club back to its rightful place of glory. Of course, I have no insider knowledge.

I don't agree with him not being the engine of the offence anymore. They play different with him in there. 

It feels different with him playing.

Apparently he did some joke on his show in 1994 that he was the voice of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Looks like we found our replacement for Bob.

The offence certainly has changed. He only had 11 catches this season. Granted it was only in 7 games but that’s a far cry from the 105 receptions he had back in 2017. If he’s healthy he’s still a great player and can run for those tough yards but the offence definitely doesn’t run through him like it did at one point.

I could see a Dave doing a Top Ten reasons the Riders will never win another cup again before ever game. 

 

Also, stupid pet tricks in the booth at half time.  

Letterman for OB's next php guy! 

It's too bad **** Assman is not around anymore, he would provide the color.

West final was won because of Harris full stop. He was still a key component last year.

You don't need a microscope to see that Harris wasn't the cog that made the O turn last year. Yes, he was still a main part of the O. And made the O better when he was in. But certainly not THE MAIN cog like he has been in previous years.

He did play a major role in the WF, when passing was very difficult. 

Once again... can we not use Harris in a Demski role?

I like Demski in the Demski role, at this point he's more valuable to the team, than AH.

I don't see it, considering the level of competition he played against I don't think Borsa is going to be the "next one".  His skill level may pan out similar to Wolitarsky and he may find his place on ST but I don't think he's going to be of the same caliber as the 4 Natl. RB the Bombers employed last season.  Hopefully I'm wrong.

 

 

Rumour from a friend who does not read these boards says Harris might retire today. Giant grain of salt.

That could be what Farhan was tweeting about. He would have a connection to Andrew. But, pulled it back. 

Big grain of salt, though. Let's wait and see. 

If so, I bet the media know but have been warned about tipping their hand. The likes of Dunk and Farhan wouldn't burn a connection just to be the first to leak it. Pedersen on the other hand...

And what caliber of player did Harris play against in CJFL? 

The talk with Harris would've been very tough,I wonder who brought up the whole idea first?Harris is a major competitor,you see him strolling up and down the sidelines after every set of offensive downs,this news is interesting.
