Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread

I love the signing but not at that insane money. Man, we better be pairing him with a damn good OC because hes got an enormous contract to live up to.

It's a **** load of money and probably way too much for a running back.... however... how do you not do what it takes to bring that guy back? The marketability alone makes him valuable to the club.

 

Just gotta make the rest of the roster work around that.

Tyson Philpot who has never had a 1000 yard season and who has missed 5, 9 and 6 games over the past three seasons got $275,000. Brady was not getting less.

[M.O.A.B.]

I only list Oliveira, Demski and Castillo as my must have. 

Bryant and Jefferson on a discounted price, maybe.

We’ve been spoiled at RB for almost a decade and played really 2 guys Harris and Brady. Deactivate Hogans access card now, forget about last year and let Brady eat.

Way too much for a RB. We've got a million bucks tied up in just two players. I don't want to hear any 'why can't we get big FA's again' whining this year.

Welcome to the new CFL. imagine what he would have got if he was a FA & the Lions & Ti Cats got into a bidding war?

I'd have been happy to find out. No CFL RB is worth the money we're paying Brady especially after overpaying Collaros.

If Brady was a free agent, BC would have thrown a Brink's truck at Oliveira. We have no succession plan at qb. We're flying by the seat of our pants on that one. Brady is in his prime at 28. there is no one on our roster that is ready to step up as a starter like Oliveira did when Harris left.
