2025 CFL (Non-Bombers) Season

[bb1]

I also like Nield from Sask..thought he came up with some clutch catches..would add depth at least.

Nield isn't a guy to change much about a receiving corps. Emilus though, yeah I think he's a pretty under rated guy around the league.

Bombers didn't have 45 free agents all wanting a raise after those years. 

lol....my point was all rider fans were saying "Those players are all going to want raises, good luck with that Walters"

Trevor Harris is 40 years old and stayed healthy.... we think that's gonna repeat or that he won't fall off a cliff at some point? Or maybe even retire.

Sounds like he's really contemplating retirement. And who can blame him? Going out on top isn't always possible and this is likely his only chance.

If you had Demski, Clercius and Nield at WR, you could go 3 american Olinemen and you might be better overall.

Clercius didn't really take a step forward this year.

Nield is fine depth but wouldn't want him starting.

thats why you pooch Kramdi...Holm...Thomas...and free up over 500k right there on defence,  use entry level studs...or first contract guys already inhouse to man those spots....easily done

C'mon. Those 3 aren't earning a combined $500K. Closer to $375K-$400K  range.  Even if that were true, you have to replace them with 3 other players. On ELC's that's still $74K per player.

I'd get rid of Logan.

ME too. IMO Logan, Schoen and Mitchell shouldn't be back.

I really want yo know what happened where clercius went from "we can cut wolitarsky for you" to "we're going to start Corcoran ahead of you "

I think 375K-400K is a good approximation.

Holm was outstanding this year - and I have no problem with him and his salary.

Kramdi at ~135K is too much - but he can play - but he is definitely not elite.

Thomas - serviceable back in his first 6 years or so, but has really, really declined - and is a detriment physically to the play of the D -Line now. I appreciate his heart, and his dedication to the Bombers, and should be moved to a non-playing position - maybe learning how to coach, or perhaps the back/front office.

Combined income of 380k according to press reports at the time of their signings. Replacing them with 3 rookies you are looking at 220k and losing a NAT starter and all star DB. Probably not where I would trim the roster with the exception of Thomas. There are 8 other teams in this league that would jump at Kramdi at 135k. That is not a high contract for a NAT at all.
