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)

                        

                        

                                          

                        

Wonder how much the REDBLACKS are paying Hargreaves?

Nasty Nate told me $150,000.

Then it must be true.

If thats. true it's a big dollars to pay a guy who will occassionaly catch the ball and fall down.

If Hargreaves starts running from Regina now, he may make it to Ottawa by training camp.

 

 

Only way he gets there by training camp is if Ettiene can figure out how to stay onside before Hargreaves starts running his route ..

 

(I  kid I kid)

And just like that, Aaron Hargreaves becomes the most experienced Ottawa receiver.

Burris must be sh*tting himself looking at the group of WRs he'll be throwing to.

Nobody likes Miles Wallace anymore?

I like him, but he's started what...2-3 games in his career?

Well, I hope he wasn't under an impression that he was walking into a sweet setup, given the big money he's getting paid. He's going to need a lot of that money for post-op rehab.

Not his fault those clowns didn't play him is it.

Don't worry about Burris, he's happy as long as he's getting paid and no one is questioning his place on the team. Biggest suck in the league.

I like him just as much as Edwards Terrence.

Ahh...so they got him cheap.

I was really hoping the Bombers would win the Aaron Hargreaves sweepstakes.

I honestly can't tell if you're joking anymore.

lol! Definitely a joke!

The redblacks are going to be one of the oldest & least talented teams in the CFL. Give it a couple of years & they'll have more holes to fill than us....

It's an expansion franchise, what did anyone really expect ?

They seem to be the darlings of the CFL with the media. Personally, I hope they flop on the field. It would look good on Desjardins.

I REALLY hope they don't beat us in their first game.

Even if we lose 52-0, its fine.  Pre-season.  No biggie.  Yawn.

They play in Winnipeg in the first game of their regular season, not pre-season.

Preseason or not .. winning starts at home .. no way you let a team come into your house and blow you out .. teams need to learn to how to win .. you set that tone day one ..

They currently have far better quarterbacking than we do. I would be surprised if they don't blow us out.

They should hire Mack as a consultant, then they could be one of the youngest and least talented teams in the CFL.

Who's Henry's main target right now? Aaron Hargreaves? Your point about quarterbacking right now by the way, is nothing more than an assumption. Henry was pulled a number of times last year for good reason, with MUCH better talent around him. McManus had Willy at #1 for a reason.
