Live look at O'Day on the first day of Free Agency...

Gave everything he had for the team future Bomber HOF'er

We will always have his epic special teams tackle in the 2019 grey cup.

As it was, as it is and as it ever shall be. Amen.

Why are you guys even keeping this guy engaged in a conversation? You’re keeping him from his sister, let him live.

Much appreciation for yoshi and all he did... but he's dead to us now.

Judge is better than Bighill imo at least now.

Wives have had a chance to google

The last 2 seasons it has been a minor miracle keeping the guys around that we did. This year we have still been able to keep the majority of our players, even more than I would expect from a team that went to the Grey Cup. It's time for our scouts to earn their keep like great teams often have to do.

Hey Walters,

Watch Waggonner is the first cut in camp, lol.

Sounds like one of the stages of grief .. acceptance. "I've come to terms with the fact I'm playing in Saskatchewan this year".

PSA Re-sign = engage (a sports player) to play for a team for a further period. Resign = voluntarily leave a job or other position. From Tait's article: IN LIMBO Still unsigned and closer to market: OL Geoff Gray Rec Rasheed Bailey WR/KR Janarion Grant K Sergio Castillo LB Malik Clements LB Jesse Briggs - RETIRED DE Thiadric Hansen DB Kerfalla Exumé CB Winston Rose RB/Rec Greg McCrae WR Brendan O’Leary-Orange QB Dakota Prukop 3pm

He is an internet troll with a press pass.

No hate. When the end is near youve gotta make as much bank as you can. Miss you Yoshi.

Yes, and was absolutely torched over and over again throughout the year and picked on repeatedly in the Grey Cup. Just because a guy catches a few 50/50 balls doesnt mean he's good. You dont think its somewhat telling that the Bombers didnt try to bring him back??

The Biggie apologists are wild. He’s barely passable as a starting linebacker at this point. The biggest thing he brings to the table at this point is his ability to read things pre-snap and get himself into the right spots but he’s probably the slowest linebacker in the league and is nowhere near the sure tackler he used to be. CFLPA all star aka the reputation award. Doesn’t mean anything for actual on-field performance, we all know that and just pretend we don’t when it’s convenient. Bighill has been awesome and he definitely had a bit of a resurgence at the beginning of 2024 but his play fell off a cliff in the second half of the year.

Once again Friesen confirms he's an idiot.

OMG, Crisis in the linebacking corps! Hey, this sports writing stuff is easy!

God damn it everyone, just let me freak out!!!

Oh god Colin, just leave the arguing to the adults

If they are past grade three, they are already smarter than most people in Saskatchewan.

BC desperately wants to be the Bombers.

https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/calgary-stampeders-sign-defensive-back-demerio-houston-to-two-year-contract-1.2075415 Houston you have a problem, you signed in Calgary 🤪 This is worse than the NHL Trade Deadline haha ...

I’m pretty sure we’ll be bringing Castillo back. There isn’t really another team who needs a kicker.

Yeah. That’s exactly what I’m suggesting. Do you really think they care? Lol These guys basically play opponents once or twice a season, they watch film throughout the week and that’s about as much CFL as the majority of them consume. Do you think these guys take their ballots home and think it over with a nice glass of whiskey? It’s all locker room talk. It’s a reputation award. Ask any player. I would bet less than 10% take it seriously. Two years ago, I remember talking to a current Bomber and it came up that he had filled out his ballot that afternoon. Hockey locker room talk. Somebody asked him who he voted for. “I forget”

How the mighty have fallen, Stamps scrounging through garbage bins, trying to patch a roster together.

I find these guys to be a good source of news. They just report player transactions so no filler pieces or opinion articles: https://www.bgmsportstrax.com/category/cfl/winnipeg-blue-bombers/

Thought this deserved its own thread. One of the greats QB in the history of the CFL

Since someone wants to take a sTROLL down memory lane.

I’m hoping we pick up a few guys (#manifesting) — but we aren’t tearing down and building up like the low level teams. We are replacing some windows and upgrading some appliances - getting estimates and comparison shopping. Other teams have a crumbling foundation that need immediate fixes. The funniest thing about today is it is basically just confirming what we have known for a week. Not seeing many/any signings that are breaking news.

any improvement for this team was always going to have to come from the scouting department. Age and cost meant losses were inevitable. Young players coming in is always what was needed and that won't be known until the season starts. Given the history of them finding guys who can play though, I will be optimistic.

Yoshi is a very good player - his contract is ridiculous. Everything else is just the Giant Tiger version of what we have.

yup...served us well...and will retire a Bomber if not just as a 1 day contract....was a huge piece of the pie here...but enemy now....and wish him luck...gonna need it there sad part of it all is his poor kids now have to enter the school system there

Everything Bob says makes 100% sense...

Houston officially with Stamps Exume goes to the Argos

He looked disappointed last year when he found out he had to stick around for the championship parade.

Don’t tell him then

Lots of guys just play because they’re good at it, not because they enjoy it. Most of them just won’t say it out loud because of the fan reaction lol it’s just the reality of things, I’m sure lots of lawyers/doctors/whatever else don’t love their job either. To suggest otherwise is just oblivious. Just because pro sports gets glamorized doesn’t mean everyone who participates enjoys it. Hell, I have a good job that pays me on par with all but the high end CFL players but I’m not excited to be the best at it and I sure as hell wouldn’t do it for free. It’s just a job.

Waggoner is a very good technical dlineman..exceptional hand skills too...I could see us looking at him as a hybrid guy inside and out I have mentioned before that from who we have coming to camp from last yr that Garbut to me looked to have the best over all skill set...and the highest upside...he has a nice length in the upper body, but also was most explosive in the initial moves off the snap...so really curious to how he has developed this yr...He got knicked a bit in that one game he started, but stayed in...but it slowed him down a bit but still was making plays and was constantly busy...Thats what I like to see and look for....he has it...Same with Fox...I really looking forward to him getting lion's share of reps...dude is a powerhouse and explosive and always moving I looking forward to going to camp and focusing on the dline guys

A couple of timely pics does not an exceptional DB make.....We would not have parted with him IF we thought he had value down the road.....end of

Better passport, that is all. Biggie was the CFLPA all star last year. Chosen by his peers as the best. I'm not sure on why everyone is so hell bent on suggesting he is done. Is he DMOP calibre anymore? No. Can he dominate the game and do things that no other defensive player could measure up to? No.Is he one of, if not the best MIKE in the league. Absolutely. We are comparing him to a time he was the best defensive player in the league by far and because he is no longer that guy we are saying he is washed up? Makes no sense. There are a lot of levels of play between that.

I’m pretty sure the most exciting transaction will be the player that “came to terms” with the Riders but has a change of heart…

Word has it he refused to sign his contract because it brought him too close to the action. As I said last season, Micah Teitz was our most outstanding player. As in he was mostly out there standing.

How many of those cross checks that they watched took place well after the play was dead, after a goal, on a completely unsuspecting player? Give me a break. This narrative that they’re being unfairly targeted is beyond ridiculous. Eff off.

figured that was coming...good long serving guy...but was time to move on there

I can't put into words how badly I want Cody Fajardo to play against the Kansas City Chiefs..... he might ACTUALLY die....
