September 4, 201411 yr Hopefully we can get him back here, however two things working against us, is the amount of money Ottawa is probably willing to spend and O'Shea liking "his guys".
September 4, 201411 yr Author Hopefully we can get him back here, however two things working against us, is the amount of money Ottawa is probably willing to spend and O'Shea liking "his guy". I'm hoping Matthews still have a bad taste in his mouth playing for last place team. Sometimes it's not all about the money. I'm not actually worried about Ottawa. I'm worried if Cgy, Edm and BC join the bidding.
September 4, 201411 yr I guess that the new phrase that pays is O'Shea guy. Hmmmm T-Shirts possibility, "I am a O'Shea Guy."
September 4, 201411 yr Seen this coming when Bryan Walters was brought back into the fold. Sucks for Matthews but potentially great for the Bombers. Having him back in the fold for the BC game would be great, hell if he can get into Winnipeg by noon Sunday I'd take him fresh off a plane over Romby. Assuming he re-signs with us of course.
September 4, 201411 yr Hopefully we can get him back here, however two things working against us, is the amount of money Ottawa is probably willing to spend and O'Shea liking "his guys". If we elect to keep ham n eggers like Kelly and Romby over Matthews we should probably just bring back Tim Burke. Luckily, Walters likes Matthews and I don't anticipate much of a problem bringing him back unless Ottawa throws crazy money at him.
September 4, 201411 yr With Moore down hard and neither Romby or Aaron stepped forward to be the go-to guy, we really need a someone with Matthews' talents- he could be the difference between making the playoffs and not.
September 4, 201411 yr Have to wait to see if any other NFL team picks him up. Seems doubtful at this point. Most teams are set right now. The question is, how long will Matthews wait before coming back to the CFL?
September 4, 201411 yr Author Walters should be on the phone with his agent already convincing them thats the best option for Matthews is to come back to the Bombers Walters make it happen
September 4, 201411 yr NFL teams are never set the bottom 1/5 of a roster is always in flux looking for a upgrade at anytime. I would be surprised if Matthews would sign a CFL deal in the next 7 days.
September 4, 201411 yr As much as I like CM, I'd sooner see a big RB brought in to spell off Grigsby.
September 4, 201411 yr Hopefully we can get him back here, however two things working against us, is the amount of money Ottawa is probably willing to spend and O'Shea liking "his guys". Unfortunately for O'Shea, it's not up to him who Walters brings in. Although I'm sure they talk about who they'd like, it's Walters final decision.
September 4, 201411 yr As much as I like CM, I'd sooner see a big RB brought in to spell off Grigsby. Who says we can't have both?

September 4, 201411 yr As much as I like CM, I'd sooner see a big RB brought in to spell off Grigsby. Who says we can't have both? never understood why people think we can only pick up one player
September 4, 201411 yr Especially when you can get a power back (or any FA back) off the market for cheap at this time of year - Not that I anticipate us making that move. If we were, it would have been done already.
September 4, 201411 yr I don't expect to see a big bruiser RB brought in but you would think Matthews would be a viable option..
September 4, 201411 yr We need some businesses to step up. Free Shawarama from Obby Khan, free car washes from Chamois, Sals Nips for life, free passes to the zoo, name a pot hole or something stupid after him, whatever! Works in Regina.

September 4, 201411 yr ... and so it starts. Tim Baines @TimCBaines 20m Seattle Seahawks have released WR Chris Matthews from practice squad. If he is looking at #CFL, look for #RedBlacks to be all over him.
