A meniscus tear is easily fixable unlike a ligament tear especially an ACL. The recovery time is a fgraction of the time for a meniscus. if everything heals properly with rehab Ceresna will be good to go come training camp.

The Bombers slept thru ftree agency last season not seeming to care if anyone signed or left. I hope we never have an off season like that again. Looks like lesson learned. 

Is Nick Arbuckle a gfree agent? 

nah he’s locked up sadly

NIL definitely isn't helping things here.

The baseline for a power 4 QB has to be around 500K/yr for NIL at this point? Tough sell getting those guys to come up here for 2 years making peanuts just for a chance to be able to make almost as much as they made in college.

nil money is no joke. Very very few will retire on that money, but it certainly slows down the flow of guys here. And leaves them far more comfortable sitting and waiting for chances at a pr spot. 

Cfl qb money for the young guys has to go up. 

 It also hurts that a guy like rourke put up a huge season and barely got a sniff. It’s been a long time since the days of the cfl prouducing qbs like garcia flutie etc for the nfl. Or the nfl taking long looks at guys like dickie and burris.

Maybe we didn't go after a backup because we are fairly confident in getting Taylor Elgersma here? 🤞

I think Perkins is probably the backup to Zach and honestly eventho he hasn’t played a cfl snap, I think he’s similar if not more talented than most current cfl backups. I’d take Perkins over ford for example.
