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?

Haven't heard a whisper about Moore or Washington yet... I wonder where they go.

Not a peep out of CGY. or EDM., did they get the date wrong?

There aren't really any good O-linemen available. We'll have to hope we can get one in the draft.

We'll have to. Don't we only have 3 Canadian OL under contract (one being always-injured Neufeld)?

If we run National Running Back does that allow Int O Lineman at a bit of a discount to a Nat Olineman? A question to all you smart guys? I am too excited as a stupid fan boy to think straight. I remember last year I was all excited about snot bubbles with Chung and Picard. I was kind of right there I had snot bubbles crying about how bad Picard was.

This is where losing our first round pick this year really hurts.

Except Waggoner would be a top 3 pick this year anyways

Jones beating us to John Chiles really honks me off.

That's doubtful but irrelevant, we need an O-linemen.

Waggoner with a year of experience under his belt is worth a top 3 pick IMO

Let us hope that he proves that he is worthy.

So we cant afford-dont need Harris but Ottawa signs him as a backup... Desjardin schooling Walters again.

How? They have basically guaranteed him starter in a year, not something we could do.

Sounds like SHologan to bombers

Willy + Nichols = no Harris

Burris + 40 years = Harris

So far from true..

Come on!!  Entirely different situation.  Burris has a year left and the Harris will take over.  harris wouldn't want to wait behind Willy anyway - I doubt he would even consider signing in Winnipeg.

Did Gary Lawless fall into a black hole?
