In the last 5 years Collaros has started 58 games, or 11.6 games/year average. He's pretty much Buck Pierce 2.0 at this point.

Jennings has potential to improve, I could see taking a flyer at him. Collaros/Bridge/Davis are what they are. QB depth with any of those 3 playing an extended time and you're in trouble

LOVE the Jefferson signing. He was single handedly responsible for like 2 of the Riders wins. A true game changer on D

We probably have the best QB depth in the league, but also we're firmly the second tier in terms of high end talent. Tier one: Mitchell, Rielly Tier two: Nichols, Harris, Masoli Tier three: the rest. I would probably rather have Nichols over Harris at this point mostly just for continuity and he's coming in 100k cheaper, but we definitely lack the high end talent at this time. Hopefully Streveler usurps Nichols at some point, imo. Nichols really played awful in the Western Final, but hopefully that was just a one-off as he's generally played pretty well in playoffs.

The west getting that much stronger sucks for us.

250 for Ellingson is insane.. No way Walker is going to be an Eskimo now.

Esks going all in this year. A couple injuries to key positions to them and they're in trouble. If the steam stays healthy and gels, though, look out. They're going to be legit

With every signing all I see is Riders management sweating more and more. They aren't going to have a snowball's chance in hell in the west division this year.

BLM would have a free path to Grey Cup every year in Toronto. He should seriously consider it.

Dead to us

Sask going to make a run and overpay for Harris? It would be tough to leave a starting job in the East to move to the uber-competitive West. The east boasts a turtle race with a much greater chance of playoff money and success.

You have some pretty unpopular opinions. Bighill is at worst the second best MLB in the league. Unless he blows out his ACL that isn't going to change overnight

What did he say about Demski?

JSK gone, Loffler gone. At least Walters and Chungh's agent are talking

I was just in Arborg and I believe it's actually "Family Fabrics". Get it right!

0% chance. They could offer him more and he still won't go there.

I didn't expect any chance at signing Jefferson. If we get him, this team is going to be scary

No GM in the league is stupid enough to pay Loffler 200. 150 would even be an overpay.

😥 Extend that man!

It's times like these that I'm glad Walters had the foresight to make rebuilding the teams O-line his #1 priority.

Big Jesus fan, that guy.

I hope he wants to play another year. Terribly underrated player

O'shea has taken his fair share of criticisms over the years but it's undeniable that he's been instrumental in turning around the state and reputation of this franchise. We were the absolute laughingstock of the league and slowly but surely Walters and O'shea have turned the Bombers into one of the premiere destinations in the league and year in-year out contenders. I have no doubt that O'shea will win a grey cup as a head coach at some point. What I'm glad to see is that he didn't "learn" to do the job here and move on to Toronto to lead them. I'm 100% on board with O'shea's extension.

I think the Riders going with Dickenson was the right choice, as much as it sucks.There's no reason a special teams coordinator can't make the leap - look at O'shea. Dickenson has had a long history in the CFL and knows the going ons. Was hoping they would do something desperate like hire Glanville, but oh well. I really hope they keep Mcadoo. That guy is awful.

I have no problem with Walters denying permission. It's 2 weeks until FA and all of a sudden 2 months of plans change overnight if the OC is gone. It's not Walters responsibility to appease his subordinates, it's his responsibility to field the best team he can. If Lapo wanted a HC job he could have had it 2 months ago. Shoulda woulda coulda. Is it Walters fault that Jones walked and left a divisional organization in shambles in almost February? Christ no. This is just business and I think Walters did the best thing for the club.
