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

Under the new CBA not sure why anyone sees a value in a multi year deal. The elimination of the option year means a greater potential for bargaining power when you could've come a FA every Feb.

@CFL_News: Was also confirmed for me that the WR contract numbers around #CFL that @HerbZurkowsky1 reported on over a week ago are in fact correct.

Looks like Spencer Watt is heading to Hamilton.

Huh? Can you elaborate?

Herb reported Getzlaff gets $225k per season. Apparently that's accurate, after much debate.

Ah ok. Yea I remember that discussion now.. Personally,still feel that is one hell of a bust for that price..

Not so much a bust but Getzlaff is injured quite a bit. riders better hope Durant stays healthy or they are screwed.

And J Richardson, Emry, Watson.  Its the roll the dice year for us. We apparently are just going to wing it from here on out.

Bombers interested in Kevin Glenn.  Hmmm.

Curtis Steele re-ups with Argos.

Alex Hall signs with Roughriders

wonder if anyone picks up Grigsby??...

Bombers interested in Kevin Glenn.  Hmmm.

No thank-you to KG. Just no. If we can't re-sign Brohm then I'd rather have a raw rook than Glenn. 

Alex Hall signs with Roughriders

 

****!  Didn't realize he was even available.  Wonder why the Bombers didn't pursue?

Why do you assume they didn't?

We gave him a "no thank you" late in the season this year. His asking price was insane. It's funny now that I read reports that we were after him in the Regina media. If so, we could have had him already,

The Bombers did pursue Alex Hall. They also are apparently interested in Justin Hickman, who may be asking for a bit too much. Riders and Calgary were both also interested in Hickman, but they went with Hall/Boudreaux instead.

Boudreax is still a free agent I believe. He isn't signed as far as I've heard.

He'll be announced in Calgary shortly.

Mike, any rumors who's remaining FAs the Bombers are dealing with right now ?

I stand corrected. Odd, because last year during one of the games shortly after Hall's NFL release, Irving commented that the Bombers had been in touch with Hall about possibly coming back and were floored by his asking price. He wanted a salary equivalent to John Chick. (We have since learned that is 200k per year), so the Bombers backed away.

Wonder what changed? Did Alex reduce his asking price significantly or did we just have more money to spend this year? Could be neither I suppose and the Riders gave him his ridiculous ask. I would love to hear what the Riders are paying him.

Per source, Stamps are close to coming to terms with former #Riders/#Ticats defensive end Brandon Boudreaux. #CFL #CFLFA15

Dan Clark just re-signed with the Riders. All of their oline issues have been solved.
