Flat out condemned his leadership qualities. Rare for a media type to be so clear as they usually insinuate if they have a beef. Could be. Doesnt strike me as the leader of that team, but given what went on with him and burris that would be pretty hard to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm Trevor Harris, I want a firm commitment from Desjardins that they are bringing in receivers... Burris looked like crap then Ottawa signed a fleet of top receivers and he wins the cup... then they let almost everyone walk and expect Harris to just carry the load - pretty lame That being said, I do think Desjardins ends up with James Franklin...

Booch Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 A lil surprised with this one so early, but for the right price I like it. I would think he got some upfront money left from this year, so cheaper 2018 cap hit and if this so...pretty good move...we can develop Felix M and not rush him....nice to see a lot of the core coming back before the new year even begins shadybob and SPuDS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueandgold Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 I’m fine to have Medlock back, but I hope they didn’t break the bank for him. He just wasn’t worth that 185K this year. Having Flanders back is awesome. I’m happy he’s sticking around, and that we found a role for him until he’s needed at RB. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling he took a little less money to come back for a single year. I think he's the type of guy that knows he has something to prove. That said I think he will prove it and I'm very happy with this signing. GCJenks, bigg jay and SPuDS 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A one year deal means that if he can get back to his 2016 level, he's in-line for a big pay day next year. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-F-F-C Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Its interesting that all the free agents signed since the end of the season have been on offence or special teams. Not one defensive player. Does it mean anything? Are the players waiting to see who the DC will be? Hall or someone else? or is the team looking to make wholesale changes on defence?

What I get out of this quote is Flanders realizes as an American RB, he knows he is disposable... he knows what his role will be here and that we won't be looking for a replacement any time soon... another team that is committed to American RB might have a couple PR guys ready to take his place at the first slip up...

Probably means they have a lot of film to watch... Medlock and Flanders are kind of automatic re-signings... I'd say there's a lot of headscratching over the D right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad hes back to prove last year was an anomaly and like you said, lets Felix work on his FG kicking for another season without being forced to the wolves.

That is an interesting observation and you may be on to something. Derek Jones would be the one exception but so far he has been mostly a special teamer.

Atomic Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 I find the CFL free agent list a little hard on the eyes so here is something some people may find more palatable.

Goalie Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) My Bombers FA wish list months in advance. Not including our own guys 1. Mincy DB 2. Reed or Dean. LB 3.Demski 4. Evan Gill 5. The Manny Show - call me crazy but i feel hes gonna be a bomber. Our own? Spooner. Bryant. Foketi. Leggett. Randle. Heath. Dressler. Normand. Thomas. Might be missing 1 or 2 but IMO these are the most important ones. Yup. No Bond. Would rather see 3 CDNs on the Oline.

Quote Kicker Justin Medlock said Monday he is considering all his options as his contract comes up this year. "I want to take a second and kind of think about what I want to do, whether I want to play, whether I want to play somewhere else or whether I want to play here. I got to take a second to think about that," he told media gathered in the Bombers locker room late Monday morning. "Trying to think about all possibilities, right? I live in Florida, right? I've been thinking about doing some other things in life maybe, so we'll see. But I'm also considering coming back too." http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/bombers-justin-medlock-football-return-1.4400400 SPuDS, Noeller and Fraser 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
