Figured it would be nice to keep all the non-Bomber dealings of the offseason in one centralized thread ... I'm sure there are exceptions for the BIG stories having their own threads as they come up, but for all the daily tweets and information, we could keep it condensed to one thread.

 

One rumor I saw yesterday from Drew Edwards ... WR Greg Ellingson to Ottawa to reunite with Henry Burris - would be a good move for Ottawa

Do any of you think you will lose Sears in free agency? I could see some interest in him around the league.

Sounds like he is as good as gone.

Sears will garner interest from all 9 teams. I just hope he either re-sign with Bombers or sign east.

I got a good feeling that there will be Free Agency Frenzy  part 2 comes August/September

There's always a few players that re-sign with their original teams after free agency opens.  For some it's just that they needed a bit more time to get a deal done, others quickly realize the bags of money aren't showing up anytime soon.

 

And there might be a few guys signed later on who will be making less than they did previously, but teams don't want to commit to them yet in the hopes of finding someone better.  Maybe Cornell and Volny end up back for training camp.  If they do, it won't be because Walters didn't explore other options, and it won't be because they turned down huge cash elsewhere to stay here.

If Jones had made it to free agency, I would have expected BC to make a pretty big push for him, despite Buono's insistence that free agency isn't his thing.

Asked a couple people this morning who the number one target for Winnipeg will be tomorrow.

 

Answer was the same every time.

Carl Volny?

I agree. Next to us, BC may be the team with the most need along their OL. They definitely could use a Centre. Surprised they didn't offer some resistance for us on Picard.

It's Greg Carr on a bulk.

It's Mark Henry from WWE.

 

Anyways, looks like January is done with the bombers according to bob irving. That's fine. I wonder if that's the end of the line for  Glenn. Not sure what team would give him a chance to be honest. Wonder if old Glenn knows his time is up now too and like so many others before him, will retire and make Winnipeg his home, eventho i believe it already is. 

It's weird because he was working out in Bombers facilities this morning as per Twitter. That seems odd if he knew he was on the way out...

He still lives here.

 

Chris Kowalczuk works out there too, I believe.

Tristan Jackson and Kevin Regimbald extend with Riders.  Riders trade kicker John Mark to Ottawa for conditional 2016 pick

January would be an ideal candidate to stay with the club in some capacity.

I had no doubt that Jackson would stay in Regina. The Mark trade is a bit interesting in that  the Rider really don't have a kicker, O'Neill is mediocre at best and Milo is going downhill, Quinn Sharp ???? who knows. Depending on how high or low the conditional pick is, Desjardins actually made a decent trade.

Agreed. I would have sent fatboy slim to Ottawa and kept John Mark. He had a good camp with us last year.

Stanley Bryant in a Bomber uniform already ?

Mike, I have to ask, are you clairvoyant ?

You want some Nik Lewis speculation? Two teams I've heard could kick tires are #Bombers and #Ticats. That's just hot-stove talk. #CFL

 

No thanks.

Keep that tubby ***** as far away as possible, please....

I'd LOVE to get Nik Lewis.

Count me in with Nic.

He would make quite the impact with the young guys.
