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

That is horrible. Like what are you doing.

I predict he falls to the third round to the Stumps and then suddenly decides he wants to play in the CFL this season.

At least you got the 3 right.

@CFL_News: #BCLions probably now have too many Cdns,; will announce the release of a couple, Antwi Akwasi and Matt McGarva. #CFL via @FifthQtr

Any interest in either? I'm unfamiliar with both..

Ottawa REDBLACKS        ✔ @REDBLACKS

The #REDBLACKS have released WR Eric Fraser, LS Philippe Dubuisson-Lebon, RB Alvester Alexander, DL Michael Dadzie, & DB Eric Samuels.

 

Eric Fraser is a S/DB.  I think he will be a good pickup. He was good in Calgary.

 

 

 

Veteran CFLer Eric Fraser was the headliner among five players released by the Ottawa Redblacks on Thursday.

The 28-year-old B.C. native had been picked by the Redblacks in the Canadian Football League expansion draft in December 2013 and was their starting safety at the beginning of their inaugural season.

 

However, Fraser was bumped to back-up status midway through the season and was being looked at as a receiver during mini-camp drills at TD Place stadium in late April. He had played receiver in high school and in his first year at Central Michigan University, but was then shifted to defensive back.

 

He was a first-round draft pick by the Calgary Stampeders and spent his first four CFL seasons with that team before being claimed by the Redblacks.

The Eskimos also announce the release of offensive lineman Chris Mercer who was selected in the third round (26^th overall) in the 2013 CFL Canadian Draft and spent the last two seasons on the Eskimo practice roster.

 

A mainstay at left guard for the Rams, Mercer didn't miss a game in his four seasons at the U of R. He started a total of 32 conference games and five postseason games in his career and was named a second-team All-Canadian in 2012, his final season with the Rams.

I like Chris Mercer before. Based on Forde's scouting report from the past he's one those OL that has attitude and nastiness.

So Pencer is getting one last shot.  I hope he actually did some fitness training this off-season, and doesn't show up just to perform another pylon/turnstyle exhibition like he did last year.

Has there been any type of update or rumors out there about Rennie Curran? Is he still waiting on the NFL shot?

He never said he was denying it just posted some videos

Stoopid is as stoopid does.

Pretty sure you don't just post inflammatory stuff like that "just because". He must believe or agree with it…

There's quite a few people around who'd like to deny Khalif Mitchell exists.
