Elks re-sign Walker. Walters running out of options with the spate of receiver signings. The pressure will be on to sign him.

Edmonton signed Walker.

Well, Walker's now off the market. The pressure is on to get Lawler signed as there isn't much left.

Ellingson is more of a 2nd down possession receiver. You need a first down then look to Ellingson. He can go deep but that's not his role.

That won't matter one bit. Only fans think that way.

I fail to understand why fans think Derel Walker will come at a discounted price. That was a tire in Edmonton last year so how much was his fault? He'll demand $200K to be signed. Will he get it? I'd say probably.

It took us years to find Lawler. Walters & McManus were accused on this board by members saying he couldn't find a deep threat receiver. We kept signing over the hill washed out receivers who never worked out.

The Bombers will have to pay Lawler. They might but that'll mean some veterans who helped us win 2 championships will have to leave to be able to afford it.

$200 plus K is the new $150 K now. Thanks to the Lions & Riders.

Have CFL teams lost their minds?? No wonder this league loses $20 million or more each year. There are no actual business practices going on anymore. Walker will still want top dollar. His agent will say that the situation in Edmonton was the reason for his bad season. He'll probably get it, too.

He'll be calm until he gets beat up every game the way Reilly was.

Meredith was released last season. I don't think they'll try to sign him.

LaPo will jump to get him. Just saying that it can be flipped if it had to. Not that it will. Lots of good FA American running backs out there.

The running back spot can be easily flipped to an American position if they had to. But it does give us a flexibility that other teams don't have.

Guess they think Schilz won't be back. What a terrible qb Davis is... Weineke??? WTF??

So, since I heard the news today that AH said that there are no formal talks going on to sign him, I think I figured out the end game here. It's not about keeping Brady Oliviera or AH. Instead it's about keeping Harris or Kenny Lawler & about having the money to sign the receiver. Our offense isn't as run heavy under Buck as it was under LaPo. Zach doesn't check down like Nichols did. He likes to stretch the field. We can get by without Harris but we need a dynamic receiver like Lawler. We need him as a deep ball playmaker for Collaros. As much as we'd all like to keep AH, I think it'll be impossible, unfortunately.

I can't see the Bombers letting Harris go to free agency. Jesse is right as he is the face of this team & brought pride back to the Bombers along with Stanley Bryant. Letting him go to free agency would be the same if the Bombers of 55 years ago let Ken Ploen or Leo Lewis play elsewhere. The optics would be very bad.

The RedBlacks may want but what they get is a whole other story. Why would a top free agent go to Ottawa? As a player, I'd take my chances with Chris Jones over LaPo.

He stayed low & got underneath the OL pads & had leverage. That OT has to learn to get lower at 6'8 & not get up so straight. He'll be tossed around in the NFL.

Legghio needs the same reset as well. As one of my coaches used to say, "Get your head in the game!!"

What about that new DT they signed who has NFL experience & is physically similar to Stove? He could be the run stopper Stove was. I hope he hasn't lost a step after his injury.

Rasheed is the heart & soul of our receiving corps. He makes that whole group better. So, we have Woli, Demski & Bailey back. I hope Lawler is back but I'm not holding my breath. Augustine is better than Oliveira. He's more explosive & has that classic top gear that you see a lot of running backs that are successful have.

Milliuons of Canadians despise & even hate Trudeau. They feel Trudeau is destroying this country economically & sowing the seeds of discontentment & division. They just seem to have their votes parked somewhere else or have decided not to vote at all because they don't support anyone. If the Conservatives find a leader that has some kind of broad appeal then I can see a rush to the Conservatives that would even run over the PPC as Bernier is seen by many as a wingnut & therefore not worth voting for. The absolute right wing fascists & anti vaxxers which is a rump would still support him.

I'd be surprised if he runs again. Leslyn Lewis will run again & so will Polievre.

O'Toole is looked upon as being weak & ineffective. He flip flopped on a number of issues like a Carbon Tax which was an untouchable as far as the Conservatives go. During the leadership race, he campaigned as a social conservative. When he won he became the opposite which obviously pissed a lot of conservatives off. He's not well liked or respected & the CPC will never win an election with him. So, the feeling is they might as well punt the guy.
