We think we know  the true colours of management around the CFL.

 

Will any be acting out of character in the upcoming free agency scramble?

 

Who will be most active and why?

I have no doubt in my mind that Desjardins will be the most active, whether he signs all the players he wants is another story. Ottawa has a lot of cap room and we all know how Desjardins roles.

 

I think Buono will act out of character during free agency, the Lions need a lot of help and I doubt Tedford thinks the Lions have solid enough talent and/or depth in order to compete.

I see Ottawa, Winnipeg and maybe the Riders being quite active.

Edmonton is a team that will make some noise as well

We better be top 2.

I just can't wait for Tuesday...feels like Christmas! I've got the day booked off work, it's gonna be a great day.

That's hard core! I've done that once lol

Last year work got in the way of me trying to focus on the free agent signings, so no work this year!

Desjardens, Us, Edmonton. Do the Riders have $$$ left?

Ottawa and Winnipeg. Most active don't necessarily mean will do the best tho. We sign Bryant say and Jackson and that's a win. 2 guys considered Walters being active?

I think Walters grabs 2-3 higher ticket guys then 2-3 depth guys

Desjardens, Us, Edmonton. Do the Riders have $$$ left?

Riders shed Picard's contract and they apparently had money set aside for Heenan so I assume they have some money to play with.

Bryant and Jackson would be huge. I'm hoping for those two and a linebacker like Peters.

I think with the signings and trades they've made that any money freed up by releasing Picard is gone.

Bryant, Jackson, Peters or Curran, and a backup NI receiver would be perfect in my book. Maybe throw in a guy like Wojt if I'm getting greedy.

Austin doesnt have much throwin around money left - snoopin for bargains if there are any.

I think that the Bombers and Ottawa will be the two busiest teams of FA day. If that is your definition of active then definitely those two teams will have the most calls in to the most players. Who is the most successful....well we shall see. The only teams I see as not being potential players are Hamilton and the Riders. However, if Taman sees someone he likes he may blow the wad and trim salary elsewhere.

I know some people are skeptical about how strongly we may pursue players this year in FA, but I believe we will see a real push this year. The Grey Cup does not come to our yard very often and I think the Bomber brass has the green light to spend and I think they have been positioning our team for the big spend for over a year now.

I think we should and will target Canadians first. I bet we sign Wojt, Watt and Bryant.

 

I think we make a play for Peters as well, but miss out

Walters just said there are 5 or 6 guys they've got targeted for tomorrow.

For those saying Desjardins will be the most active tomorrow, remember that he may have lots of money but players still have to want to sign. I'm pretty sure Desjardins has a bad reputation around the league, amongst players, because of how he dealt with Kevin Glenn last year, when Glenn's twitter was "hacked" and he called Desjardins a snake. 

Hopefully can get 3 or 4 of those.

If Walters knows what he's doing he's already talked to these players agents, suggesting we'd have a good chance with signing these guys.  I remember last year it was announced about 3 minutes after free agency opened that the Bombers signed Graig Newman, so I'm pretty sure Walters knows what he's doing

You're assuming the majority of the players have the same thoughts towards Marcel as an over rated, back up quarterback who's best before date was back when Doug Berry coached a team.

I remember hearing that a few players didn't sign with Ottawa because of the whole Glenn/Snake/Twitter thing.

Hopefully can get 3 or 4 of those.

 

Yes, 3 or 4 of the targeted players would be nice, but that doesn't mean he won't fill in with roster players if the 1st choices aren't available.

Still could end up with upwards of 5 or 6.
