Not counting Sundays, there are 17 days left to sign our own FAs.

Do the Bombers have a say in all the FAs we have to sign or do circumstances exist where we have no chance?

 

For me, at least to get to TC:

 

Desirable signings - Some for obvious reasons, some for NI content, some for experience:

 

Henoc Muamba, Chris Matthews, Jade Etienne, Brandon Stewart, Will Ford, Jovon Johnson, Akeem Foster, Kenny Mainor, Justin Sorensen, Marc Parenteau.

 

Signings if it makes sense - Again, ratio-wise and depth, new signings:

 

JT Gilmore, , Ryan Lucas, Chris Cvetkovic, Chris Kowalczuk, Dan West.

 

Not a Priority - Injuries….

 

Chad Simpson, Andre Douglas.

 

For comparison: (not including retired, suspended or released)

 

BC - …………..0 - 5 signings

Edmonton…….4 - 11

Calgary……….10 - 17 

​Sask…………..3 - 17

​WBB…………..6 - 18

Hamilton………1 -6

​Toronto……….1 - 10

​Montreal………8 -17

 

The Bombers have 79 60 players listed on their roster page including all eligible FAs.

There are 34 imports and 32 26 NIs.

However, I can't imagine injured players like Sims-Walker will be back nor Bo Smith, nor Boltus (but that's just my wish)

Oh wait... it won't be that rampant with signings this soon.

The #Riders have re-signed K Chris Milo, which means Craig Butler likely on the move. #Bombers

Bombers sign NI DB Graig Newman from Saskatchewan

I think he could compete at safety. Saskatchewan seemed to think he'd be a viable option to replace Butler. At worst, he's a beast ST guy.

He'll be competing for the starting safety job IMO. Lots of talk on the Rider forum about him ready to start.

 

I wish his parents had spelled his name correctly...

It's official.

OFF THE MARKET: @MTLAlouettes re-sign left tackle Josh Bourke. Details here - http://ow.ly/tw3fF  #CFLFA14 #CFL

former Hamilton LB Simoni Lawrence signs with the Vikings.

Newman is an upgrade from Cauchy imo...  huge potential - if we don't get Butler, this is a pretty close second.  One of the best NIs on the market.

 

Now I wish we didn't trade Aprile, ha

Crappy I was hoping for new blood on the o line

Gah... Montreal was just toying with us.  Oh well... enjoy the suckitude that is coming Montreal's way now that Calvillo has retired.

Lawrence was the best part of an awful D last year. Good for him.

I think it's funny that nobody wants to announce any signings yet.
