what did we figure out about Holm? Is he a pending FA? He was supposed to be getting NFL tryouts but not sure anything happened there. I assume we can pencil him in to one of the secondary spots, along with Nichols and Parker.... Nick Hallett at S, likely...... then someone else (Ford??) in the last spot...
As of right now, I would imagine it’s going to be Parker on one corner, Holm and Nichols playing the HB spots and then another corner and a safety spot up for grabs. I don’t think we go Canadian at safety, I would assume they see Kramdi and Lawson as the starting Canadians on our D.
Marquise Bridges and Travon Fuller are both guys I like, although I don’t see either one of them really being able to play safety. Fuller would be my early bet to be a standout at corner for us, very rangy player, good length.
Marcus Hillman seems like a safety candidate. Don’t really know much about him, but that’s the body type and 8 sacks as a DB in one year seems … like he must’ve been playing safety against some horrible teams

I’m thinking quality CFL DB’s are not a dime a dozen. Really looking forward to seeing who we bring to camp.
Let’s find ourselves a Stiggers type player please and thank you. As much as I hate the Argos I so enjoyed watching him play.
The last Stiggers situation was Juran Bolden, I think. Maybe Dee Alford was similar? Doesn’t come along very often.
2 hours ago, Noeller said:Sayles and Walker were both very meh after having Nevis and Stove.... not that those guys are always available, but let's be closer to that than Walker/Sayles...
Sayles and Walker were both really good football players, not really sure what more you could’ve asked for to be honest. Sayles especially was great. Better than Stove, to be honest … he just didn’t do it in a way that stood out because he was built like a normal DT not the second coming of Jerome Haywood.

I don't care where it comes from (rookie or free agency), I just want to see one powerful boat anchor of a man lining up at defensive tackle this season.

That looks like a lot of rookies in the secondary.
I see probably only two, I’m sure they’ll likely add a veteran whether they retain Robertson Daniel or look elsewhere and then they’ve got Metchie and Carnell. But yeah, not ideal.

Bennett and Kobe both back with their clubs

No concerns that Toronto will be able to put together a good roster if I’m an Argos fan. Will it gel this year in time? Impossible to say. But will they have talent in camp? I don’t know why anyone would assume otherwise. Great scouts over there, especially on defence and they still have a lot of solid pieces in place.
Carnell, McManis, Jones, Ceresna, Metchie, Orimolade … they’ve got the makings of a solid D for sure.

Is it possible that "Young Stan" gigantic kid we just signed last week can step in at RT, or will he need more seasoning before he's ready to start....?
Who is that? Vanderpal or whatever?

I’m trying to manifest Davis II onto our roster through positive thinking.
This is me with Kobe Williams. Teams are going to be talking about him next year like they were talking about Pickett this year. Would like to be the team that gets him at a discount before that happens.

Any potential tackles out there in free agency who could potentially be cost effective options?
Trevon Tate is great but can’t see him being cost effective

Is he married to a Canuck? How else could he stay in Wpg and get a different job?
I would have to imagine he probably got an opportunity to do something similar back home.

That’s fine. If we let every fact get in the way, half of this afternoons debate wouldn’t exist. I’m not overly serious. I mean honestly I had him getting that spot so it kinda sucks he decided to call it a career.
Lol it’s all good, I just find it irritating (not you) when the Bombers have built this culture around treating their players and staff with the utmost respect for them as humans with real life stuff and families and then all of our fans want to say weird stuff that goes entirely against that just because a player makes a decision that I’m guessing the club probably had a ton of respect for.

Just double checked. He’s been working with non-profits to open up health clinics in Winnipeg. Don’t think the guy was trying to hold the club hostage, just sounds like he needed a certain dollar amount to continue on with football.

Imagine waiting a couple years then demanding more money b4 u even a starter.
Richmond: hey Kyle I want more money
Walters: drew, here’s the thing, you see that raise you want? Turn it sideways and stick it straight up your candy ass.
I hope it went similar to that then osh took the phone and told him to maybe suck it.
I think you are kind of misguided about Richmond. Pretty sure it was more of a “at this point in my life, I need this much or I can make more doing something else” more than a trying to hold the club hostage.
Pretty sure he resides in Winnipeg and his other-than-football stuff is in the medical field.

Maybe, won’t know better till later in the off season the bonus money counts against their bonus cap this year either way
Come on man, you’re better than this. There’s no maybe, Hardrick isn’t getting 350k to play football this year. The bonus is never over the value of the contract, they’ve literally never reported it that way.

Harris, 480k. Aj 200k probably. Hardrick 230k plus the signing bonus of 120. Bane 182k plus 12k bonus.
zach 600. Brady 240. Bryant 190k. Dalton 230. 1.26m vs 1.09m before bonuses. 1.15+ with bonuses for the year. Yes, we have lawler at big money. No regrets. Our group is easily twice as good as their group for 15-20% more. Plus they are out spending like drunken sailors on other guys once again.
costs Ferrari money to own a Ferrari. The riders are paying base model / year old Ferrari money for a Honda minivan.
There’s no plus the bonus. The bonus is always just a portion. Hardrick isn’t getting paid 230 plus 120.

I think they likely go rookie for that 3rd american receiver.
I agree too and as much as I’d love to see Bailey back, I also want to see him make his money and go somewhere he can be a second option. He’s capable enough to do it, I just don’t think we can give him what he deserves.

It just hit me that we got Brady, Streveler and Schoen for a combined 580k.

How about a little kumbaya, shall we? After that's done, we can get back to usual MBB activities like yelling about Damien Jackson and game day roster management?
Cheers gents!🍻
Only once GCn acknowledges McCaffrey and James Cook are not equal

I know exactly what his production was, you seem lost understanding that there are 5 other guys in this loop that offered similar production per carry.
If you think a bellcow averaging 6 yards a carry is similar to a bunch of guys who do it way less often for considerably less production is “similar”, you’re lost. Beyond lost.

Wouldn’t mind that at all, got some major concerns he’s going to be a penalty machine this year if he’s a step slower and still bringing the same heavy lumber
