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?

175K for medlock?! Wow I like him but that seems like an overpay.

Over-paying for the best isn't the worst thing you can do. We needed to make a splash today more than any other team in the league, for a lot of reasons.

I'm ok with it.

Yes and no, high price to pay but critical position second only to QB.

Looking good man.......

TSN reporting that the second year of Harris deal will pay him 400K.  Ouch.

Well, he is doing two jobs and sparing us from having to pay both a placekicker and a punter.

Yes

 

and a very warm welcome you shall have Andrew....I know we'll be definitely be in the hunt for a playoff spot with your acquisition.

So far really good guys...  kind of makes us forget about the Macho Harris signing lol.

I wonder if they sign a big receiver still though....

Very nice first day!  Well done thus far Kyle!  Keep er going. 

No cdn wr's signed yet.  3-4 pretty good ones out there.

Harris makes up for that

This looks like a really good haul. Takes the pressure off of scouting and it looks like we have a solid plan.

OL will be handled internally....

 

3 import oline seems likely and smart. Outside of bourke who was never a real option... not much OL out there.

Also the cheapest option at this point.

Assuming we can actually recruit any......

Probably but why not play 3 there and start Canadians elsewhere. Your QB is the most important player. Why not protect him with better talent.
