Mike

It was his son that threw a punch.

My dad and I used to sit section S in the first row in front of that guardrail before the stairs up to the top. Had a front row seat to the show that day. Good times.

Please no.

Why are you the way you are

Best Hogan the Bombers have had since the old man in Section S

DB Marlon Character from Louisville on the transaction report

I am all in on Whop.

CFL contracts aren’t guaranteed and a dude who hasn’t played since 2018 and was in a serious car accident isn’t going to command a large sum of guaranteed dollars. I would love to see Saunders in camp.

DL is pretty solid this year as far as depth goes but this might be a year we look to go outside the box and look at somebody like Enock Makonzo or a similar DB we may be high on. Could look at it as an opportunity to start a Canadian in the secondary, we’ve got quite a bit of depth with the Halletts and Patrice Rene if he comes up

Because this draft is incredibly thin on OL. I could see Zack Fry being an option in the first round but he’s probably gone by the time our pick comes around. Other than that, it’s futures or reaches if we wanna go OL. I’d rather we go OL with our second rounder and see if there’s someone we can coach up from a raw talent perspective.

Honestly, that was my excuse to dislike him even more. I didn’t care for him before that either. 🤣

I mean, we were “cap tight” last year and were still all over Reggie Begelton when he came loose - we actually offered more cash than Calgary did

Honestly maybe it’s just me, but I’m really not a big fan of this. Never really cared for DT’s style. Also drives me nuts how he looks at the game (who cares who leads the CFL in passes caught for 7.5 yards or more without getting a first down after 8 pm on Fridays) but hey, I’ll give him a chance.

TJ Simmons is a signing worth being excited about.

Now that you mention it, I think it’s about time Harris is banned from the league for his PED issue.

Let’s just be generous here with some dollar amounts to speculate. Darvin Adams out (150k), replaced by minimum salary (65k) Steven Richardson out (100k), replaced by minimum salary (65k) Mike Jones out (85k), replaced by Tyqwan Glass (85k) Alden Darby out (100k), replaced by minimum salary (65k) Kenny Lawler out (100k), replaced by minimum salary (65k) Andrew Harris out (175k), replaced by minimum salary (65k) Drew Desjarlais out (100k), replaced by Dobson or equivalent (85k) Jonathan Kongbo out (125k), replaced by minimum salary (65k) Even speculating on what is probably the very high end for most guys there, that’s 390k. And we gave out raises to Bighill, Jefferson, Jeffcoat, Oliviera, Bailey and Collaros.

Where do you think we’ve shed “damn near 1 million dollars”? People really need to gain an understanding of what a salary cap is before throwing out ridiculous numbers like this.

We’re not broke. Walters always says this. So does Hufnagel. Nobody needs to know we have money to spend until we spend it.

I mean, let’s just call it what it is. Harris didn’t just develop this chip on his shoulder when he became a Bomber, he’s been like that his entire career and for the most part, it’s served to work for him and not against him. In this case, it may have worked against him. There’s nothing wrong with expressing some doubt in a 35 year old who plays a position 35 year olds don’t play, especially when you’ve seen a history of ongoing issues related to your concerns. He wasn’t coming to camp in shape, the team was a bit put off because they expected more and they asked to try and meet in a middle ground. “If you’re telling us your commitment to staying in shape isn’t going to be an issue, show us” isn’t an unreasonable request. Quite honestly, this isn’t meant to shine negatively upon anyone but we all know if this was anyone BUT Harris, we’d all be in the corner of Walters and O’Shea. Wade is in the business of promoting the team. Walters and O’Shea are not. Hometown kid or not, they’re in the business of winning football games and while I may or may not agree with their choice, I understand the thought process that went into it.

Harris got 165k, 40k of it upfront. Not an astronomical amount but I can’t see a way we could’ve made that fit, to be honest.

Guys deserve more than one year to develop if the coaching staff believes in them

Think it’s impossible to say any team is the best team on paper at this point, too much turnover and changing of key people in key spots. Not to say it won’t get fixed up, but we’ve currently got major kicking questions (which were a massive issue prior to Sergio last year), no returner and some issues in the defensive secondary plus our Canadian depth took a hit. On the bright side, we have some good pieces in the pipeline in Dobson (to replace Eli) and Patrice Rene (to replace some Canadian D depth) but they’ve gotta sign.

They can’t cut him in camp if he’s hurt.

I haven’t heard anything to suggest they wanted Ellingson. They got Acklin.

You literally were talking yesterday about how production isn’t everything when I said Duke was on a 1200 yard pace last year.
