@Wpg_BlueBombers: #Bombers announce the release of linebacker Ian Wild @wild_ian so he can immediately pursue NFL opportunities.

This is win-win. If he makes it in the NFL, good PR for us, if not, and we've treated him well, he will come back and feel more at home. In any case, good on him.

Just like two former Bombers making the two biggest plays to get the Seahawks in the Super Bowl was last weekend!

grumble grumble

#thankyouwinnipeg

Continuing the trend then, next season Ian Wild cranks into Tom Brady at full speed in overtime, causing a fumble, which he recovers and returns for 80 yards to win Superbowl 50 for the Vikings. Tom stands in the middle of the field with Bill Belichick crying, hands around their deflated balls. I could live with that.

I'm no vikings fan... but there really is nothing better than seeing the patriots lose! 

gary lawless 

former #bombers LB Ian Wild's contract with @steelers has fallen apart. Wild is still looking for work in NFL but could return to Winnipeg

Wouldnt that be nice.

that's a damn shame for Ian, and I certainly take no joy from his unfortunate situation......that said......would sure love to see the guy back in Blue and Gold this summer, after all...

What exactly does" contract fallen apart " mean? You have a contract and have already been released? You sort of had a contract but didn't really have one? Strange wording

Not really strange, but really up for open interpretation.

 

-Contract offered but a tidbit in there that wasn't discussed prior that one party didn't like.

-a possible date that the contract was to be sent,  passed

etc..

Could be that Wild hadn't signed it yet and the Steelers changed their mind.

Could be they just opted to go in another direction after a change of heart.

 

Either way, super unfortunate to hear about Ian. But if this means he ends up back in the CFL, I sure hope he wants to be back here!

Almost certainly is that simple - the Steelers changed their mind.

 

I hope he gets another tryout with another team.  He earned it.

Wild on WIL, I will pen that already.

Maybe **** LeBeau liked Ian Wild and he's not there anymore so the team is looking for different players.  Who knows.

Well it appears pretty obvious that the Steelers didn't see big upside in him. Hopefully he catches on somewhere else, if not he would look great at WIL for us.

Maaybe there is a God after all.

Imagine if he signs with the Riders !

Certainly Bomber fans wished Ian all the best but a certain part of them wanted him to remain here. I was one of those.Not a great day for Wild as far as the nfl goes BUT if nothing else shakes out down there...welcome back Ian...

Imagine if he signs with the Riders !

 

They'll be lucky to sign their own fas at present.

Having Wild back would be huge for us. Throw in Heenan, Bryant and Dressler and I'll be one happy camper. 

 

 

 

 

I'm obviously not picky at all and have completely reasonable and realistic expectations .

Wild Heenan and Dressler don't seem that far fetched lol. Not serious about Dressler but wouldn't surprise me one bit

Kyle Walters just said on 1290 it now looks after all that the Steelers will sign Ian Wild after pulling the offer off the table. That being said he also acknowledged the team will try to get him back should it turn out things do definitely fall through.

Wild Heenan and Dressler don't seem that far fetched lol. Not serious about Dressler but wouldn't surprise me one bit

 

Wild will be back in Bombers uniform once he gave up on NFL.

 

With a considerable cap space its hard to believe that Walters will not throw a big $$$ to get Heenan

 

Dressler will be a nice addition but I rather have a big physical receiver added since we lost the physicality of Watson. E.Jackson can fill that physicality and much more.

Everyone seems forgetting Chris Williams. I believe he will be a FA also comes Feb 10.

Can someone confirm. Thanks.

Chris Williams spent the past season with the Bears. He was cut in early December.
