The #Bombers have released Henoc Muamba so he can pursue NFL opportunities.

Well good for him then...  I still say he'll have to add 20-30lbs for the NFL game though

We treated Vega well, he tried the NFL, then came back... just sayin'.

Yes it seems like once guys come to play in Winnipeg they tend to like playing here. Except if you are from a neighboring province to the west.

The next week will really test to see if this argument holds any water..

And Hefney came back....

 

Sure hope this works out - our ratio is already in the shitter.

You must have missed the news about the acquisition of Matt Bucknor, and the re-signing of Kowalczuk and Lucas. Right there we have the core nucleus of unparalleled NI depth. I forgive you.

 

KBF with an aardvark moment there....

Signed by Indy...

Indy Colts have signed Henoc Muamba http://blogs.Colts.com .

 

Clearly we should have tried to get Luck for Muamba (Wiecek moment)

Congratulations to Henoc.

Congratulations to Henoc.

 

Well, right on for him!  As long as he's not in the CFL...

Thats awesome news! Congrats to Henoc for this exciting new chapter in his life and hope the kid sticks for awhile..

If not, arms wide open buddy

Congrats to Henoc. 

 

It's a damned shame to see him go (though I'll still be repping my Muamba jersey at IGF this year) .. wish him all the best and hopefully he sticks down south .. if not .. hopefully he gives serious consideration to rejoining the Blue and Gold.

Former CFL ILB Henoc Muamba's contract with the Colts is for three years and includes $107,000 guaranteed.

 

It's a solid sum for a player GM Ryan Grigson is essentially signing off the street. (That's how ex-CFL players are viewed in contract terms by NFL teams.) Muamba was a high-impact middle linebacker for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and is only 25 years old. Always casting a wide net for talent, Grigson unearthed Jerrell Freeman from similar obscurity and he's become a high-end NFL starter.

Another CFL player goes to the Colts!  Congrats to Henoc!

 

The earliest he could come back to the Bombers, assuming he doesn't pan out, would be September then, yes?

Lol - "similar obscurity".  That's probably what Americans thought when the LA Galaxy signed Beckham.
