Janarion Grant.... The best KR the league has seen in years.... Is gonna be a surprise cut. Good gravy.... That's quite the Stephen A Smith "Hottest Take", right there...

I think he means being unavailable week 1 due to injury - not cut.

No way Grant is cut unless he's hurt. He's shown his value to the team time and time again. The rest I would agree with. If I knew how much everyone was making I'd be able to make a better guess of who else should be on this list.

Yup. Salary cap plays a role. Grant would really surprise me but If you find a guy who can do more than just return, think he's a candidate

People need to keep in mind that Grant can see the field on offence replacing a Canadian for up to 49% of the snaps.

Grant ain't going anywhere...

We can also roster Augudosi with the same starters as last yr...just as we did with Mcrae in lineup...with BO and Augustine..and likely the kid we drafted we don't "need" Mcrae on the roster...Augudosi as a big target and a red zone nightmare serves more usefulness and purpose than Mcrae doing limited reps

My guess secondary to start the season barring injury will be Rose and Lawrence on corners...Nichols and either one of Parker and Houston as the other halfback/6th guy...unless some new rookie pulls an Alford/Nicole....and we roll with that unless someone is stinking up the joint...

Biggie resting I think is to get a good look at some of the imports brought in..we know what he can do and I've seen him and BA training a lot and he don't look injured to me

Wilson too ..tho I wouldn't be upset to see one those new guys brought in take the camp by storm and make it impossible to let him go

I think the only thing that has limited Grant getting on the field has been his ineffectiveness while doing so, not his passport.

Grant has been pretty successful with his handful of gadget plays they package for him. He's not an every down receiver though and we don't want to double duty him too much because he is such a game breaker as a returner.

I think at this point it's clear that he's a returner only.

Is that because of the sheer quality of the Bombers receiving corps though? Cause that's a pretty hard group to crack.

Another day off for Biggie today.

Partly, for sure. We have no fringe receiver spots available.

Biggie will be getting a ton of days off. We need him fresh and ready for the season. It would be irresponsible of coaching and management to work him hard in TC. He literally has nothing to prove and why risk injury.

At this point, he's basically a coach... except on game day

I was waiting to read all the new posts in this thread before I posted this exact thing... he's a Player/Coach now. I'm sure at some point they'll need to get him some reps, just to get into the swing of things.... but it's likely more important to evaluate the new guys at this point.

For sure. Biggie is a manimal. His conditioning is superb, and he will only need the last week of camp to knock the offseason rust off.

 

Am I the only one who has no idea what to expect regarding our roster this year because of all the new rules regarding Canadian eligibility? Lol 

Willie Jefferson for MOC!

Honestly I don’t think any one is prepared.  The league couldn’t keep the cats following the old ratio I don’t know how the league plans to enforce all this stuff with various subs and injuries. I expect some teams will cheat their face off until the league cracks down and maybe comes up with an easier way to moderate it.

Ok can you explain it to me and only me then please

There will be a lot of making it up as things "evolve" in my opinion...both on the team and league levels.

Walters said he is taking a "wait and see attitude", he is not making any plans to implement the new ratio rules until he sees what other teams are doing with them.

Agreed that absolutely nobody knows so whatever... They'll figure it out as they go. It's absolutely bush league, but let's be positive and call it "quirky", as the CFL has been known to be...

Yeah…. Quirky sounds better than stupid.

This year, sure. Hasn't always been the case.
