@SUNMitchell: The problem with trying to trade Jasper Simmons is there isn't much of a market for import linebackers. Even BC has depth they like. #CFL

@garrettbillan1: @SUNMitchell I'd like to see the Bombers move Hurl into a role player instead of starting. Move Bass to MLB and trade for Simmons.

@garrettbillan1: @SUNMitchell Would Huff do Greaves/Neufeld for Simmons and a 1st or 2nd rounder?

@SUNMitchell: @garrettbillan1 Funny you ask because the two teams I heard connected were Bombers and Riders.

@SUNMitchell: @garrettbillan1 I doubt they'd give up a high pick like that. They're looking for OL depth for sure though.

@garrettbillan1: @SUNMitchell have u heard what the Bombers might be offering?

@SUNMitchell: @garrettbillan1 Don't know if it even got to the point of an offer. Yet.

Does he play o line?

HEY!  Blame TSN, they just posted it.  And I didn't feel like reading everyone's drivel.

I prefer the term hogwash

@PentonKirk: I'm hearing the #Bombers and Jasper Simmons are in negotiations.

And then we'll cut bass ha

Great move if we can get him. Good football player who just wants to play. one of the best with Ottawa last year

Good decision on Simmons part. Make sense to get this bye week to learn Halls D and play vs the Stamps next week.

Plus it would be a great story line if he help the D stuffed Stamps running game and help the Bombers win.

Im betting he will get #51

If love it if we signed him, but based on the coaching staff's philosophy, I'm not sure where he fits into the roster. He's going to want guaranteed playing time.

Sit Littlejohn and let him learn the CFL game more.

But LittleJohn wasn't really playing much. Simmons will want real playing time, after what happened in Calgary.

So do you DI Simmons to start, assuming he signs.

Who does he start over?

If I'm Oshea / Hall, I rotate him with Hurl on the middle. I believe he will get his playing time here.

I like this idea.

I think that was the intention for Burnett and Littlejohn too. Only that Burnett stint was cut short because of injury while LIttlejohn is not that familiar yet with the CFL game and Hall's D. At least Simmons knows the  CFL game already and have familiarity with O'shea.

Didn't someone say that littlejohn was playing for Ottawa last week?

In three days, Ive gone from asking who this guy was, to have him playing any position on the defence. If we sign him, he'll get four interceptions off of Calgary. On special teams he'll run back one punt and the opening kickoff for touchdowns. He'll back up Hirallahu as a punter.

Didn't someone say that littlejohn was playing for Ottawa last week?

It was an error on Chris Cuthbert's part. And a bizarre one at that.

If Simmons ends up signing, good on Walters and Co.

Simmons IMO is a talent, I still don't see the point of the trade (Price for Simmons) on either side though, but that's sports sometimes I suppose.

I really gonna like the LB rotation when he signs...

 

Bass & Hurl

@PentonKirk: Jasper Simmons' agent won't confirm #Bombers are in mix. All Sammy Gahagan says is "multiple teams" have contacted him.

Did he tweet him before or after his nightly bottle of scotch?  I'd check again at midnight if I were Penton...
