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)

                        

                        

                                          

                        

So this is what fans of other teams do at Free Agency…wait and get FA signings.

 

Nice!

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

 

All nine teams should have just agreed to all announce their signings one minute after FA opened.

It appears the Newman deal has fallen through.

 

Winnipeg media on twitter are happy

@MagazineCF: The Newman deal with the bomber may have fell through.

We'll see. Right now the only thing they're going on is that the Bombers wouldn't confirm it.

Did he fax the contract upside down?

Seriously?  WTF is the use of Twitter if it cannot be a reliable source of truthful information.... <sarcasm>

Kirk Penton ‏@PentonKirk now

Graig Newman's agent confirms the #Bombers have signed his client.

YAY!

@MagazineCF: The Newman deal with the bomber may have fell through.

This guy is kind of a joke. Guaranteed he took that straight from Wiecek's tweet and passed it along like he had something insider on it.

Ugh. Penton speculating we are in on Nick Moore.

 

I'd take him, but not at the expense of a Canadian.

Hearing from a source in Toronto that the #Argos have agreed to terms with @sheaemry. Huge signing - a ratio changer for the Boatmen

I think I literally just heard Ottawa's leverage in the Kevin Glenn trade negotiations explode.

Marcel made his bed, now he has to lie in it. What a clown.

Nice!

Hey last year the Bombers made a splash signing a young NI starting safety...

Very similar to the sound that **** makes when it hits the round spinny thing that makes cool air. 

I can't see Glenn going to SASK.  Possibly BC or Cal though.  If we do get him he would likely play with a huge chip on his shoulder which would be nice.....

WR Rory Kohlert has signed with #Bombers. Was claimed from Wpg in Expansion draft by #REDBLACKS. Many expected this would happen. #CFLFA14

#Riders are OUT of mix with Craig Butler. No surprise - seems like BC is a perfect fit, but others throwing money at him.

Buck done if KG goes to BC?
