Per @JDunk12: Esks, Riders talking trade. EDM wants No. 1 pick Josiah St. John AND a first for QB James Franklin. SSK, coherently, declined.

Ed Hervey vs. Chris Jones is going to be a real thing to keep your eye on over the coming weeks and months.

To reach for two first round picks, including No. 1 overall, in return for a back-up QB with a handful of pro starts is... hilarious, really

Winnipeg. 2013. The 1-5 Bombers lost to the Ti-Cats (thus going 1-6) in front of nearly 33,000 at Investor's Group Field. That was also after 22 full seasons without a championship.

So if you're giving props to Rider fans for their commitment to a losing team, then you have to give HUGE props to Bomber fans!

I have always given the Bomber fans full credit for supporting the team. That's not news

I haven't paid any attention to Martin to know if he's been any good this season. I'm assuming we'll pass on him.

Is Vaughn worth a look?

maybe Als will be interested in Bilukidi ?

He is making big money and looks overweight (more than normal), but I still hope the riders take a look at him. He is Canadian and that is something we desperately need the way our season is unfolding 

Ottawa is having ratio issues too and he may want to stay in the East.

They already gave up their 2017 1st. We'd have to wait until 2018.

Not for the bombers he isn't. Especially with his price tag

Would Popp give up picks for Bilukidi?

Martin is actually very light.  Just think he's done personally.  He's not a kid and who knows, maybe he's not all that motivated.

I've never seen a pro football player put as little effort in as I saw from Martin on one play in Montreal's last game.  He was either tired to the point of total exhaustion or couldn't be bothered to do more than go through the motions.  Either way, not a great sign...

Edit: I guess this was already mentioned on the previous page by Bigblue204.  Oh well.  Now I've said it, so you KNOW it's true.

I thought that you guys have lots of depth?

I'm not entirely interested in Martin as anything but a bit player.

Montreal is trying to compete with the Riders to see which team can build the biggest dumpster fire;

 

Vaughn Martin has enough potential and talent that I would bring him in for a look-see with the Bombers. If there is as much behind the scenes crap going on with the Als as has been hinted at, he may not have given it his best shot there.

did Henoc get on the field, Dallas v Rams?

 

I saw that Stoudemire had one catch for three yards, in Vikings game.

If that's the case then we don't need him .You always give it your best no matter what.....

I don't think all humans are built that way. There are plenty of pro athletes who sucked with one team and shone with the next.

plenty is a gross exaggeration

Injuries have kind of changed things wouldn't you say?

i doubt we have the extra money with roster expansions coming up in iirc 2 weeks, and since i imagine we plan to keep denmark. Would be really nice though. Id rather have him then henoc, but not at the kind of price tag he will fetch. I might rather have him as an OL conversion project over neufeld if the wheels fall off at dt for him.

 

I heard on the radio today that the Eskimos and Riders are hard after Martin, but he wants to stay in the East. If he does go west, it will be for big bucks.

 

Maybe lets give Vaughn Martin a look as a returner. 

Have you seen that game where he took the punt from Logan.
