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)

                        

                        

                                          

                        

send Cauchy to Ottawa for a pick, then sign Alexander.

 

 

or Walters can exchange Cauchy + rights to Robertson for Kyle Koch or K-Groh, then we can fix our problem with C.

send Cauchy to Ottawa for a pick

 

Do they have a 10th round pick in the CFL?

 

Besides, Cauchy's too young for Ottawa.

Keron Williams  still available. Robert McCune still available & now Alexander. Hope we make a play on all 3 even if we sign one.

Donovan Alexander gets burned all of the time, he is always out of place and is awful. I'd rather bring in Ian Logan back over him.

Heck, bring him home and let him fight for a spot on the roster. Its not as if Cauchy has unquestionably been the answer, so let 'em prove who's best for the job.

With Newman, Bucknor and Cauchy I don't think there's much of a need for Alexander.

Don't forget about Kris Robertson who is also expected in camp.

Alexander was fast that was his claim to fame. He was a corner in college and has never been very fond of hitting anyone. Unfortunately he became a starter by default in Edmonton. Thanks but no thanks

If he can get himself into position to just get in the way some of the time he'd be better than any NI we played at safety last season.

That's a bit harsh, but not too harsh. JJ was inserted at Safety for a game or two. Wasn't bad there, considering. (Sorry just re-read that you meant NI's). Yes, a bit harsh. But not too harsh. 

According to Rod Pederson, 4 teams have made offers to Jock Sanders. I wonder if the Bombers are one of those 4 teams?

He'd likely command a salary in the $120k range but he is extremely versatile; he's a RB, SB, KR and PR. Only 26 years old.

Is that what Pederson said?

No. Those are my thoughts. Why?

Seems way high for a guy that isn't going to play more than about 30% of your offensive snaps.

Could Aaron Woods not do everything that Sanders would do

Could Aaron Woods not do everything that Sanders would do

In theory, yes he probably could. Just haven't seen it yet.

Yes we did...until he got hurt.

The guy is plenty good enough And I'd rather that extra money go to Glenn or McCune

@FarhanLaljiTSN: #BCLions have just released Paris Jackson. Also Dante Marsh has agreed to an extension. #CFL

No surprise here. Paris Jackson was barely hanging on last season and had to take a pay cut to do so. A good guy, but no longer young, good or cheap enough.

Kirk Penton, in conversation about Bombers Canadian depth :

 

JOHN SNIVELY ‏@Snivealive75  59m

@PentonKirk Who are they planning on starting at rec besides Watson if there planning on starting 2 Canadians ? #bombers

 

JOHN SNIVELY ‏@Snivealive75  55m

@PentonKirk let me answer my own question, Kolhort and Watson? Carter has been training in Atlanta W/ Milt, but depth is an issue .

 

Kirk Penton ‏@PentonKirk  34m

@Snivealive75 Yes, Kohlert and Watson. And don't forget Carter isn't even a member of the Bombers right now.

 

 

Does Penton do any research? Pretty obvious its Kolhert and Watson.

Penton wasn't asking the question. That was a fan asking that question to Penton.

My mistake

Penton is possibly Winnipeg's best football media fellow right now. Ed Tait is good but a lot of time with our Jets.

I like Kirk as he is approachable  and a good down to earth nice guy.

Ted Laurent telling teams he won't make a decision until after the NFL Draft ... so 3 months.
