    Id be incredibly surprised if Arbuckle has any interest in re-signing to be Bo's backup qb. I imagine that the idea of re-signing Arbuckle for cheaper and moving Bo was what got Bo to take a lower salary. I think Arbuckle is going to follow Dinwiddie to Toronto.

    I think Winnipeg made him somewhat of a priority. They are not in a position to start an american back if Harris gets injured like they once were and Oliveria is coming off of a pretty serious injury.

    I prefer the option of him coming back to Winnipeg

    He will be missed and so will Rose. I don't think Sayles height will keep him from getting a contract but it will make it difficult for him to win a job. I just don't know what he's going to do on a smaller field with super accurate passes to tall receivers. Gonna be a challenge for him. The bombers recently signed Malik Boynkin who was a safety in camp last season. I see Alexender moving back to corner or halfback. We can find another american safety without too much trouble. So what it looks like is we have Matson, Alexander, Jones, and Taylor going into next season right now. Not a bad starting point.

    Note sure where he would go even if he was a FA. As good as he still is Andrew Harris ain't getting any younger and Winnipeg right now is the only team dedicating runningback as a Canadian position and runs the ball heavily. And he's from Winnipeg.

    Apparently Sergio Castillo play for the Houston Roughnecks. I imagine his plan is to bank some extra money and then take a shot at the NFL.

    @66 Chevelle I agree with you that you can’t ignore the fact that the time commitment is less in the xfl as well as the injury potential and wear and tare on the body. However, many of these guys will be looking at maximizing their earning on an annual basis and the dollar amounts will he higher in the cfl. There’s also a bit of a timing issue for the xfl. Players coming right out of college will want to focus on making the nfl and then if that opportunity isn’t there they will be offered earnings more quickly from the cfl. A good number of the best cfl prospects are guys who only sign right before cfl training camp. Chris Streveler and Marcus Sayles come to mind as players who waiting to sign in the cfl until close to training camp. There is also going to be a significant bump to the cfl salary cup for next season as the players had a clause in the latest negotiation to receive a percentage of any new tv deal. But like you said there is plenty of talent out there. Players will get cut from an xfl team and make an impact in the cfl and vice versa. There’s also the element that the xfl will pay money for some nfl name who would likely not have any impact in the cfl. I don’t see a cfl starting qb going to the xfl because there wouldn’t be name recognition in the states and a qb who had put in the hard works to learn to excel as a cfl qb it’s going to give that up for anything less than nfl bucks.

    There's also MBT who i think is an under rated options heading into free agency. What remains to be seen is whether or not Masoli re-signs with hamilton. He may not even be ready for the season and so he might just sign a one year deal with Hamilton. If Arbuckle and Streveler hit the NFL and Winnipeg opts to sign Zachary there could be the potential to get something for Nichols going to Ottawa. But not much. I guess in a dream world Toronto really wanted Nichols and we could bargain down the 1st we give up for Zach.

    Have they not looked at his height?

    Its about putting the best possible defense on the field. The defense got significantly better after Hecht was benched and we started Alexander at safety. I'm not convinced a top end Canadian safety is going to fall onto our laps.
  12. Colin Unger
    I'm not worried about the offensive line especially center where we have Speller and Eli already. Where we are low on Canadian talent its defense. We need to have a National on the field at all times. Without Kongbo we would need to play Jake Thomas and a rotationary Canadian DT to keep him fresh at all times. Perhaps we would look at moving on from Kyrie Wilson and starting Jesse Briggs at linebacker. We seemed to be fine when we were starting a Canadian at WILL when Biggie was out.
  13. Colin Unger
    Bombers offensive line is going to be dominant again. Bryant will be back IMO. Our young core of Canadians Speller, Gray, Eli, Desjarlais are only going to be better.
  14. Colin Unger
    I just hope they get Glenn Young locked down. Toronto would be awfully appealing for him.
  15. Colin Unger
    It nice that Dinwiddie goes outside of division rather than strengthening BC. Who's next on Campbell's list Paopao?
  16. Colin Unger
    Pretty sure his wife won't be getting CTE working in one market or another. I'm not convinced we want Collaras back given all the options. I just think if Winnipeg wants him back and goes after him aggressively that he would do it.
  17. Colin Unger
    I can't for the life of me see why Toronto wouldn't be going all in on the guy. He put up great numbers on a bad team and he can take a hit. He's a pure pocket passer so i think he could do quite well in a tandem with Streveler and not break the bank so we can continue to have an elite team around the qb's.
  18. Colin Unger
    That's three teams and you've got Collaras, Nichols, MBT, Masoli (potentially), and Arbuckle. The wild card is Streveler. And Winnipeg is really well positioned because they are by far the best situation to put a qb into. After what Zach with minimal time to get up to speed is a testament to him and the group around him. Any QB to hit the free agent market would love the opportunity to play in Winnipeg. For a guy like Arbuckle you could go to a weaker organization and end up blowing your career.
  19. Colin Unger
    I’d peg that as similar injury risks but Collaros when healthy is the vastly superior Quarterback and he’s won the grey cup for us and that adds a lot. Only way I wouldn’t bring either of these guys back would be if I was confident that Streveler can and will take his passing game to the next level. If not I would go for bethel Thompson or arbuckle to try and last the season with Streveler also playing a lot.

    Good leader, oft injured, loyal guy.
  21. Colin Unger
    Especially impressive when you look at all the losses. Assuming Couture that would make 3 young Canadian starters lost in the last 3 years and still plenty of depth in that area.
  22. Colin Unger
    He's the Matt Nichols of offensive lineman.
  23. Colin Unger
    i dont think his pass block is there yet. Even without being on an island this area was a work in progress.
  24. Colin Unger
    Its good that Neufeld is back. It makes our young guys come to camp with the mentality that they will have to fight for a starting job. Right now I think that Gray has an uphill battle to start ahead of Desjarlais.
  25. Colin Unger
    Hopefully they pay him 275k as well
