Better than in the all-CFL thread.....

 

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed International offensive lineman Manase Foketi.

Foketi (6-6, 310, West Texas A&M, September 18, 1990 in Hesperia, CA) signed as an undrafted free agent with Denver in 2013. He spent part of 2014 with the Buffalo Bills on their practice roster, and was with the Saints through the 2014 preseason. Foketi played collegiate football at West Texas A&M, and attended the Blue Bombers mini-camp in Florida in 2014.

Is this an April Fools joke?

Most definitely

Imagine so. That said a canadian who can run isnt bad for TCF. If they wanted to hit a nerve should have announced the return of tyson pencer. xD

Haha I never even thought of that... just thought "never hurts to have extra Cdns in camp"...

Kito Poblah also coming to camp apparently.  He's been working out with Kamau Peterson in the off-season.

Before the great Scott Cloman?

I understand that Brock Ralph is coming back as receiver's coach to teach his patented "get out or get down quick" move.

Marcel & Marcus SMith are expected to coach the DB's this year along with Justin Coleman and Joe Morgan

cloman and peterson should put on a wr camp. How to not catch a ball.

I hear tony ortiz is going to dust off his cleets and come to camp. Once again be a TC all star and disappear come pre season.

Due to concerns about negative coverage..... Mike Kelly will be brought in as special media consultant.  

Bombers add 2 more int's:  

Justin Green (5'11, 195lb DB): Spent parts of the last 4 season on the PR for Dallas & New England.

Emmanuel Dieke (6'6, 280lb DL):  Spent 2014 with the Giants & Dolphins.

So which two are going to get the axe?  Bombers are 2 over if I'm not mistaken.

Dieke has some size to him, gonna keep my eye on him during TC...

Atleast 3 that i recall. 2 back to back. Hurt in pre season or late tc the first time. Brought back the 2nd disappeared in pre season. Then i wanna say brought in again after a year or two gap.

Two interesting guys. Dieke is soo big i wonder if hes coming in to push at DT. I cant see him being a DE up here unless its in a 3-4. And from what i recall we dont have to be down to the roster limit of 75 till TC. we can carry extra bodies in mini camp.

bombers sign jerrel jernigan wr from the ny giants.

http://www.nfl.com/player/jerreljernigan/2495179/careerstats

21 kick returns for 492 yard 23.4 average.

4.46 40, 37.5" vert, 11 reps. 

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2011/profiles/jerrel-jernigan?id=2495179

Lots of talk of him being a play making slot receiver. Despite his 5'8 height.  Real interesting pick up cant wait to see him in camp. replacement for the wr prospect who just retired maybe.

I was excited about Reese and sad to see him go, but Jernigan has me even more excited. This guy was a legit play making slot receiver and he's still fairly young. Big fan of this signing for sure.

Maybe gets a chance at the returner's job  as well

An import receiver I'm actually familiar with prior to joining the CFL?  The last time that happened we signed Greg Carr!

5'8"? Toby Enstrom could keep the ball away from him!

Released RB Martese Jackson, QB Quentin Williams and WR Evan Pszczonak

Couple more spots opening up.

This is good...

@EricM_CFL some of the great names are based off of their coaches name. One thought is for the offence be called the LaPolice Academy.
