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

@CFL: BREAKING: @edmontonesks ink Chris Jones to a contract extension. Details to follow. #Esks #CFL

Well, if at one point, the Crapingas met the Thorpes, voila...

Craphonzo Crapinga.

And wasn't his middle name Costanza?

Lived in a van down by the river

That's gold Jerry gold!!!

The summer of Crap is born.

The summer of crap. I like it!

I knew what you were talking about...I've seen each Seinfeld episode like 100 times.

@PentonKirk: He attended their mini-camp, and now I'm hearing the #Alouettes have signed DB Jonathan Hefney. #Bombers #CFL

@PentonKirk: #Argos have signed former #Bombers receiver Aaron Kelly, former #BCLions safety Matt McGarva and DB Brandon Underwood. #CFL

I appreciate you telling me that. Serenity now!

@johnskelton19: Met some great guys while with the @MTLAlouettes Normally would thank a team for the opportunity, but in this case I didn't even get one.

@PentonKirk: The #BCLions have signed former #Bombers receiver Terence Jeffers-Harris.

@JDunk12: Contract details for #Alouettes 1st round pick, LB/DB Chris Ackie: $21,000 signing bonus and $79,000 in base and roster bonuses. #CFL

@PentonKirk: The #BCLions have signed former #Bombers receiver Terence Jeffers-Harris.

Yet everyone pumps Buono up as a god and he frequently makes horrible moves like this.

#BCLions release rookie QBs Grant Hedrick (Boise State), Aaron Wilmer (Delaware Valley) and linebacker Terrance Bullitt (Texas Tech).

It’s Travis Partridge, Greg McGhee and Jon Jennings basically behind Travis Lulay and John Beck. UBC transfer Michael O’Connor will be on coffee duty, if the Lions use him as they did Jordan Yantz two years ago.

@EdlundEric Lulay looks good. You'd think it was 2013 again, before he wrecked his shoulder.

#BCLions backup QB John Beck misses first day of training camp (undisclosed illness). No timetable for his return, says HC Jeff Tedford.

Scott Mitchell - Stamps

Every time you turn around, WR Dan Buckner is making another play … Same thing with WR Kamar Jorden … Same with WR Greg Wilson … The Stamps have too many receivers and not enough spots …

QB Mike Reilly is two days into his return from a broken foot and Jones says he doesn’t look like he was ever hurt. - Edmonton Sun

There are #CFL officials at #Ticats training camp this morning. Will help with new rules interpretation. #CFLTC

It's so cold at Eskimos training camp this morning that the balls are deflating on their own.

@sportscage: Riders using Nic Demski at tailback in 2-back set with Messam. His natural position. Looks explosive.

Could Demski be the next Cornish...the next great Canadian RB?

@HomeOfTheFans: Steward and Tennant have been released. Could return if they get healthy. #riders #cfl

Here's something along the lines we want for a TC report. From Drew Edwards (of course)

 

• the team is starting to make the transition towards preparing for Monday’s exhibition game against Ottawa. The personnel groupings on offence and defence are more fluid with players being shuttled in and out of the line up during the team sessions. The first pre-season game is primarily about evaluation so I would expect a number of the big names to see limited action or to sit altogether.

• defensive tackle Brian Bulcke went down during one-on-one sessions and spent the last part of the session sitting on the trainer’s table with a bag of ice on his knee. If he’s down for any period of time, the Ticats are suddenly and improbably thin at Canadian defensive tackle behind Ted Laurent. That’s because Linden Gaydosh, Mike Atkinson, Hasan Hazime and Evan Gill are all hurt as well. That said, Atkinson should be back soon.

• Jeff Mathews was the No. 2 quarterback today, after Jacory Harris took the back up reps yesterday. That will be a position to watch on Monday.

• good battle developing at the offensive tackle spot between Brian Simmons, Jake Olson and Joel Figueroa with Jeremy Lewis in the mix as well.

• players not practicing today: RB Mossis Madu and DT Atkinson. DE Arnaud Gascon-Nadon did drills but little to no team work. The rest (Hazime, Anthony Woodson, Antonio Coleman) are still in the rehab phase. No sign of S Neil King.

• Former Ticats and Argos linebacker (and current University of Toronto defensive coordinator) Kevin Eiben was at camp today.

• there are CFL officials again today and receiver Bakari Grant was flagged for offensive pass interference during a one-on-one drill. “They won’t call that in a game,” he protested. Yes, they will. That said, I think there were less flags today as players are making the adjustment to the new rules.

Max Caron of the Stamps apparently blew out his other Achilles today still has not seen the field since being drafted last year.

I'd love to see that kind of reporting for the Bombers.  Of course Drew Edwards is the best in the CFL at it so it might be a bit of a stretch for our media to do as good a job.
