Bigblue204 Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 I've heard that Eli won't be back. Apparently guys where pretty disappointed with him and there has been little to no contact since the WF. It's too bad, really talented guy. Who I thought they'd bring back regardless of vax status. But looks like both parties are moving on. blue_gold_84 and BBlink 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Unger Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) My understanding is that the canadian government will not allow athletes to cross the border without vaccines going forward. It would be tough to lose him but its not a forgone conclusion that we'd be able to keep him anyways. There would be a team giving him a raise and a starting position this season.

From a TC report by Ed Tait: There are four import defensive tackles who are also jumping out in Casey Sayles, the 6-3, 289-pounder who has experience in both the XFL and AAF; Ezekiel Rose, who starred at West Virginia; Cedric Wilcots II, who was spotted by Bombers scouts at the College Gridiron Showcase in 2020 after a superb career at New Mexico State, as well as Ricky Walker, who has been in camp with both Dallas and Cleveland.

Bigblue204 Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Also another fun fact I found out...which isn't surprising because I saw him my companies store a few times...but Lawler is a massive pot head.

These restrictions shouldn't effect Eli as he is CDN., they may be able to delay his return pending Covid status but I don't believe they can prevent it. As far as I know his home is in Hawaii, which in itself is a a very good reason to never come back. wbbfan and Nolby 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to break it to you but if the Bombers or any other CFL team were to get rid of the pot heads there wouldn't be many players left. 2 minutes ago, Throw Long Bannatyne said: These restrictions shouldn't effect Eli as he is CDN., they may be able to delay his return pending Covid status but I don't believe they can prevent it.

Fatty Liver Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 3 hours ago, Rod Black said: Saw it on TSN last weekend. Dino was born as Dino Crocetti. ANOTHER coincidence is that the Crocetti name and the Collaros name both start with a “C”. It gets even weirder after that and goes on and on. Maybe you just think you “stumbled” on a “random fact”. There are other forces at play. I’m not kidding. I'm just waiting for Noeller to chime in about Zach's Italian heritage....he's a dirty Greek!

But looks like both parties are moving on. As they should. He put himself ahead of the team. Everybody else was vaccinated. Even the ones that didn't want to. Except him. People can say that's his right as it's his choice. The Bombers can say it's their right to release him as it's the team's choice. Works both ways.

He has a gig as an NFL commentator with Sky Sports in London, England. He may want to spend more time with that. He's also 64 & may have decided that coaching in the CFL isn't for him anymore. It doesn't sound like he's retiring, though. bigg jay and Noeller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
