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)

                        

                        

                                          

                        

We've added two Canadians, one of which will start, and very possible both will start. Rome wasn't build in a day, neither is a championship football team.

 

But Sochi was...

Very happy with the signings we made so far today, but of course would love to see an OL added still.

 

Good start!

In regards to a RB.  Think if we don't go after Sheets that we will go after our Local boy Anthony Coombs?

But Sochi took 50 billion dollars.... making our team's cap number look like a drop in the bucket

Now, if Taman had had 50 billion dolllars.......he could have afforded to do his writing at Quizno's instead of Subway.

Nobody is going after Sheets. NFL or Saskatchewan are his options, he's made that clear.

I think, more than anything, it's knowing that we are active players in FA that is heartening to see.  A couple of solid, not spectacular, FA pick ups .. the additions of Banks and Randle .. we're relevant and engaged at a time where we've been notably absent the last few years ..

It's night and day.

So what's the current list of fa the bombers have signed?

I wouldn't be surprised if a GM actually offered a crap load of money and pray, or simply just to drive up the price,.

Kohlert

Randall (Trade)

Banks(Trade)

Willy(Trade)

Newman

 

Who am I missing?

Perhaps Matthews is going to stick in the NFL?

I'd like this if it happens.  This way if Matthews does go we have a Imp replacement.  Think we will be find with Kohlert, Watson, and one of the newbies we picked up as our NIs.

Kelly?

Kelly isn't Canadian, if that's what you mean.

Not sure why we'd need Nick Moore?  I'm actually hoping for Myddleton or Mitchell...we need OL help, not WRs. 

I would much rather we grab a player on any other position than receiver honestly.  Plenty of receivers down south we could snag.

Mitchell couldn't crack one of the weakest olines in the CFL. We don't need a Morley clone.

Moore is a difference maker, the two OL you mention are barely starters. Myddelton might be worth it if he can compete for us at centre.

Moore would be a great pick up.

Moore would be a welcome addition with his ability to stretch the field. Like his hands, and his route running as well.

@CFL: OFF THE MARKET: @TorontoArgos sign Canadian OL Scott Mitchell. Details to come. #CFL #CFLFA14

That's about the only thing about him I don't like.  Moore would be the type of receiver I'd like to have on my team because he has potential to be great, but I'm not getting into a bidding war for him.  He's really inconsistent so far.

The 2 finalists for C.Butler are HAM & BC. The same 2 teams had the 10th & 11th picks in the '11 Draft...right before Butler went 12th.#oops

I'm still trying to figure out why we're even keeping Morley 1.0

Do we really need to overpay for a WR that's ludicrously overrated ?

I'm sure Walters & Co. can easily find a similar type player for much less money.

Anyone know if the Bombers have contacted Anthony Parker ?
