Target Date for Free Agency Feb. 9th 12 noon ET - 11 am Winnipeg - 9 am Kelowna 

The Bombers will lead into the pre-draft weekend with a press conference tomorrow, February 5th, at 10:00am to discuss Free Agency as it pertains to the Blue Bombers.

Below is a list of the Bomber's free agents:

Capers, Selvish    OL    International    

Gibson, Thaddeus    DL    International    

Hajrullahu, Lirim    K    National    

Marshall, Cameron    RB    International    

Newman, Graig    DB     National  

Pontbriand, Michel-Pierre    FB     National    

Washington, Demond    DB    International

Moore, Nick    WR    International 

Shell, Lin-J    DB    International    

Walker, Chevon    RB    International    
 

Extended :

Daniels, Jace    OL     International    Extended (12/14/15)

Nichols, Matt    QB    International    Extended (01/05/16)

Richardson, Louie    DL    National    Extended (01/25/16)

 

We already know N. Moore won't be extended, and I've assumed Walker and Shell are gonzo, so that leaves 7 players, including 3 Non-imports. How many of these 7 guys will be announced as re-signed by Walters tomorrow?

Any guesses or half wishes, preferences?

Marshall? Hajrullahu? Pontbriand? Newman? What about Washington?

Great depth guy but never made the impact some were hoping when he originally signed here.   Best wishes to Graig though.

Newman was a good special teamer, but Teague surpassed him in every way as a defensive player.

Denmark might not survive..

You're right, if they sign Smith he automatically gets Denmark's job whether he earns it or not.

As MBB (Mike) mentioned on Twitter .. opens the door for Waggoner to see more time.

 

 

Get tricky Kyle, get tricky.

This is just Wally covering his ass in the attempt to make it look like he's involved in the process.

 

I'm concerned that we haven't heard about any interest in Capicotti or Laing from the Bombers.

Guessing it's a case of not being able to work on more than a few deals at once. So if the DL was lower on our list with all the potential players available, other teams could beat us to the top guys while we're trying to sign our #1 (and #2 and #3) targets.

If we get Medlock, Harris, and Smith signed and Capicotti is still available, I hope we have an offer waiting!

(I assume Laing is still expecting NFL interest.)

I'm mildy surprised Sherritt hasn't signed with the Riders yet.

 

 

That's right. One deal dominoes another deal.

That hyphenated LB from BC would be a better pickup, he's a tiger.
