Roster spot is probably the least of our concerns. We're likely going to have 2 import OL on the 46 this week, so we could easily just take one of them off. But I think gbill hit on a salient point, the player has to agree to come here (or go to another team as well) .. and let's face it .. Winnipeg isn't the most attractive location league wide at the moment .. yes .. there are some positive things going on but .. when you are part of a perenial contender like Calgary .. Winnipeg is a hard sell. As for managing relationships amongst member teams .. it's a business .. and I wouldn't be in the business of offering up assets for a player I could potentially get for "free". It's a very good point but at the same time ... if you're a young OL, I'm selling you on three things in Winnipeg - game cheque, brand new facility, Bob Wylie.

Peach is a second year player, I'd say he's fair game. I'll be really surprised if nobody puts in a claim.

3rd round draft pick last year. Not a bad choice.

It's kind of an unwritten rule in the CFL that you don't pluck first year Canadians off a practice roster.

They're going to be in Winnipeg for the season opener too ... that's pretty sweet

It's Sunday, league offices are closed I believe. Besides that, PR claims aren't a fast process.

Silly complaint, who cares what the roster on a website says. Unamba and Dunn have been linebackers all throughout camp. 3 of those guys are Canadian special teamers. Suddenly 11 is 6, right where it should be.And neither guy should be lining up at LB but with that logic, any DB on the roster could play LB'er which is what this defence is being constructed around, never mind that our only Nat DE isn't and weighs less than Kuale. Gotta love the smaller faster theme which has been taken to a whole new level. Says who? You? Dunn has never played anything but LB in this league. But because a roster that means nothing says that's what he is, that's what he is?

You mean aside from DT...? And one backup for two NI REC spots... Sure, according to some, we should disregard what the roster is telling us and just assume that guys can play any position. No what you should do is stop pretending a roster for fan consumption is some kind of end all be all determining factor on where guys are capable of playing.

I sure as hell wouldn't.

Also I'm going to go out on a limb. Bruce Johnson is going to take Suber's spot permanently

CJ Gable

Apparently Ford is going to play. Looking at that roster, I see a lot of potential. Few holes. Few question marks. Really don't like Dunn or Kuale. Other than that, I'm optimistic.

On defense maybe. On offense? Not so much.

I'd look at Lawrence. Competition for Dunn maybe.

My preference ... Leggett at nickel, Sears at safety, Johnson at half.

Regarding what?

Ottawa gonna Ottawa.

Patrick Neufeld, Jesse Briggs and Drew Willy for Kris Bastien, Dylan Ainsworth and Johnny Mark. Interesting. Take it any day without thinking twice. Oh, 100%

God I hope we sign Jade. So much.

Bastien accepted a PR spot with Saskatchewan. Logic would dictate Etienne would not be offered a PR spot. Nor would he take one.

JFG plays special teams. Etienne doesn't. Worth mentioning ... he actually did play special teams last year. And oddly enough, he wasn't awful at it.

Thank god the Bombers didn't end up signing him. There was a point during the offseason where we were very interested.
