@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.

Bilukidi is also 325 pounds so good luck playing in a CFL defence right away

how big is whatshisface, that insane guy who played in BC/TO/MTL and liked to straight up hurt people.......??  He was huge but got the job done....

Khalif Mitchell... Yeah he was definitely 300+. More of the exception than the norm, though. Maybe Bilukidi can play at that weight but I imagine he would trim down if he knew he was going to be in the CFL next year.

Not too big a problem.  You just rotate him out frequently and have a few strategically located oxygen tanks on the field.

Weighs far less than that. Moved to end this year.

Ha,ha. Missed it. Joke's on me.

 

fan poll cfl.ca biggest hitter

 

leader is Khalil Bass 46 % of 12000 votes.

 

you know what that poll proves... only Bomber and Rider fans are voting... I'm not sure what's more laughable... Elimimian and Bighill combining for only 7% of the vote or Brackenridge getting 37% of votes.... 

 

 

It was the same for the 'best hands' poll. Dressler won over Denmark with S.J. Green getting less than 10% of the vote.

SJ Green has awful hands. The fact that him and Bowman were even in that poll was laughable.

Should we change the title of the thread or is signing Simmons to the PR still a sign of interest?

Okay.

Simmons complained about playing time then traded a full paycheck for a PR paycheck and his agent's crowing about it.

Today's his birthday.

Speed reading is a b!tch

He'll be off the PR within a week...

My guess is there's 2 contracts in Walters drawer. The PR one and the regular one that'll come into effect next week. Knowing O'Shea, he'll want to talk to the player who is coming off the roster/going on the IR in person before Simmons is officially added.

@ScottBilleck: Jasper Simmons agent Sammy Gahagan says his client will be on the field against Calgary on Aug. 29. #Bombers #bn

I got the impression after talking with his agent today that the contract Simmons has only goes until the end of the year. Could be wrong, because I didn't ask outright.

Well, the good thing is we have him here right now so if he works out we have a leg up on the other guys looking at him. Should we get him to play which is what he wants things should work out for next year.

I can confirm with 100% certainty that the suggestion of Simmons only signing with the Bombers for the rest of this season is incorrect.
