Bombers Add International WR Hector and DL Oxendine
I always find it odd that Kirk rarely, if ever, seems to mention these things before the MBB Twitter account does. Always appreciate the fact that Darrin Bauming will at least acknowledge how he finds these unannounced signings. Must be pure coincidence with Kirk. Anyways ... I like this guy. Good motor. Good size and speed for a DE.

2015 CFL Combine Updates
Ah, I just threw a name in by that point anyway... why isn't he? Was given a medical redshirt last season to gain another year of NCAA eligibility because he was hurt all year.

Why hasn't Walters signed any wildlife yet?

2015 CFL Combine Updates
I'd be interested in Archambault too, but we were one of only two teams who didn't interview him at the combine. Wonder why.

2015 CFL Combine Updates
I'd really like to see Winnipeg go after Shaq M-L If they're after a Thunder / Lightning combo in the backfield, he's got a good chance to develop into the lightning half of it. After hearing how impressive his pass-pro skills showed at the combine, I'm thinking he could be an option at 15 for us. Would be curious to see how he is rated now.

Thank god that's preseason only - which I don't understand either.

Bombers trade Cory Watson to Saskatchewan
Big deal. They got a spare part in a trade, worked him out, decided they didn't want him and released him. It's not like he was the big asset in this deal.

The designated import spot has now been replaced by the "wildlife" spot where teams will be allowed to roster either a bear, deer or moose.

Game 75: Habs @ Jets
Canucks losing helps. Any time any of those three teams (VAN, CAL, LA) loses outright it helps us. Huge win tonight.

Willy Contract Negotiations
lol at any of us acting like we actually know what the right number for Drew Willy is. To me, he needs to be paid as if he is in the middle tier of starting QBs. 4-5-6 range. Depending on how they view his trajectory, maybe the 3-4-5 range. If that number is 400k then it's 400k.

Bombers trade Cory Watson to Saskatchewan
I wonder if he's the guy we dropped in order to add Jordan Reaves. I would be surprised if they dropped anyone they believed had a legitimate interest in being here in order to add Jordan Reaves. Bombers dropping Bonner just lends itself well to showing just how fluid the negotiation lists are in the CFL. At this time of year, it wouldn't surprise me if the Bombers were making multiple changes to their negotiation list every day.

Willy Contract Negotiations
What is most compelling about this situation to me is to see how many people jump off the Willy bandwagon and forget how difficult it can be to acquire a franchise QB. We need to keep him. Don't let him bend you over the barrel, but if you're going to overpay for a player, it should be him.

Willy Contract Negotiations
400k is more than Mitchell is making, close to what Reilly is making. They'll settle somewhere around 375k and all will be good.

Next year's line up?
Realistically? Stafford - Scheifele - Wheeler Ladd - Little - Perreault Ehlers - Lowry - Armia/Burmistrov Thorburn - O'Dell - Stempniak/free agent Enstrom - Myers Morrissey/Chiarot - Byfuglien Stuart - Trouba I don't see how on earth we keep Stafford AND Frolik.

Bombers add Jordan Reaves to neg list
Neg list changes on probably a daily basis, I doubt it's 100% full at all times but I agree that hopefully it is full the majority of the time.

Kovalchuk To Return to NHL?
I for one welcome back our franchise's all time leading scorer.

Bombers add Jordan Reaves to neg list
Pretty sure I saw him in some of the footage they showed on TSN doing 1 on 1s against Janke.
-
Game 74 : Jets @ Canucks
I saw an interesting stat last night - if the Jets need 11 points in 10 games (before last night) then if you do 10 game splits all year, there's only been one time (the initial 10 games of the year) they didn't meet that requirement.

This is a huge flyer. But hey, why not.

Bombers draft & FA camp prep
Super thrilled about the Edmonton regional ... definitely the best regional of the three Pospischil should definitely get an invite to the main combine, I'd be very surprised if he didn't. Curious to see Janke, Johnson, Tsoumpas, Lawrence and Kankolongo as well, I could see them plus a couple hogs all having a shot at being invited to the main combine.

Bombers draft & FA camp prep
Good point, if Bryant gets seriously injured I'm not sure this O-line will do much better than last years edition. An upgrade at Center is great but it's not going to help them much out on the wings. Bombers are very high on Jace Daniels, who would fill in at LT if Bryant got injured. Devin Tyler is another option there as well. I'd say our OL depth this year is better than it was last year. I'd still like to find a way to keep Morley around, but I understand there are some cap issues with that. Jace Daniels just filling in? Devin Tyler?? We had the worst OL in the CFL last year. Our starters were for the most part useless & our backups even worse. So, if a few of the new guys go down hey... it's... no... big... deal. The B Team can fill in & we don't miss a beat. We're solid! Yeesh. This is basically just a classic example of painting every player with the same brush. Jace Daniels didn't take a lot of snaps, but when he was in there, he was great. Just because our OL sucked as a whole doesn't mean we didn't have some capable players. Devin Tyler kinda sucks though.
