rebusrankin Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Neufeld, Dobson, Eli and a high draft pick would work also. Just saying. I am struggling to see the vision and fear Unfinished Business 2.0 but agree with @Jesse that TC is a long way away. So not panicking yet.

Yeah, 3 years ago- 2 of those it didn't, and we are trotting out a lot of those same players in 2021. It's extremely hard to improve upon a 14-4 record. In fact only 1 bomber in the history of the club has done better. GC is a 1 game, winner take all. Losing it sucks, but pretending like you're going to add a magic player that will prove you are going to win it...in Jan....is insane. What players are we trotting out? Please post the current roster? The Jan 29th blue bomber roster that proves we won't be getting better.... Jesse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro sports especially football are like dog years. 3 years is like 10+. That’s more than the average career length of a pro at most positions.

Tracker Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 2 hours ago, Brandon said: People over reacting yet again Agreed. No one is promising a starting role to either Gray or Kolankowski or even that they will survive training camp or not be traded. Que sera, sera.

BBlink Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 1 hour ago, 17to85 said: Neufeld, Eli, Dobson, gray. Boom done. I don't see Gray signed. He wasn't a world beater and who knows what is going on with him. Seems like the kind of guy that has a future outside of football and may be taking it. My guess is that we had money set aside for kolo/gray with a timeline and this is what happened. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty Liver Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Uhhh oh, got caught underpaying appreciated assets. @JohnDHodge Per sources, Jackson Jeffcoat will not re-sign with the Blue Bombers before the CFL's negotiation window opens on Feb. 4. A return to Winnipeg remains possible but it appears the 33-year-old wants to find out what other options are available. #Bombers | #ForTheW | #CFL | #CFLFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 I honestly expected him to hit Free agency a couple of years ago, when Willie and Darrin went down to Texas to convince him to stay. Was super surprised when he re-sign then, but now I'm kind of surprised to see him looking elsewhere. We're a different defence when he's not on the field. Would be a huge hit.

bustamente Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 (edited) I'm going to put this plain and simply, don't care who you are or what you have done for this team in the past if you don't want to play here good bye and good riddance Edited January 30 by bustamente Noeller and MrFreakzilla 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, if you can find a difference maker on a rookie deal - that's a big deal (likely for next season though as DE's take a minute to percolate).

Blame the ******* Riders, they just re-signed Anthony Lanier for $250k and he probably sits out more games than Jeffcoat.

And that's probably it. We're too far apart on salary and Jackson probably took the hit for a couple years to keep the band together but know he's only got so many seasons left in him.

They both played 14 games last season, Jeffcoat's max was $185k, but his cap cost was probably less than $120k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both? There are a lot of reasons to move on. Injuries, decreasing impact plays, age/projection, But that's why you should have had 6 new DE's in camp LAST year. If we're losing him now it's kind of too late. We better hope Haba takes a couple big leaps forward. BomberBall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
