Ottawa might be a bit of a **** show for a couple of years while they renovate their stadium. Then you have the Lions and Argos next year that will probably be playing their first 5-6 games on the road.

Bombers signed Jaiden Woodbey today. He's a 6 foot tall DB / LBer. He played college ball at Florida State and Boston College. He tried out for the Rams in 2023 and played for an indoor league last year.

I am curious to see what is going to be built on the site of the old golf course. Hopefully there will be a few places to get a drink and some grub.

Legendary actor Gene Hackman, wife Betsy and dog found dead inside New Mexico home: police https://nypost.com/2025/02/27/entertainment/gene-hackman-and-wife-betsy-found-dead-in-new-mexico-home-police/

and the Riders signed Kerfalla Exumé.

This had me thinking about that scene from Moneyball. The only way O'Shea is going to play a new guy is if the incumbent is not signed or is traded.

I think the issue here is with the CFLPA. They haven't determined yet if the influx of money will go to player salaries or if they will allocate it other ways (pension, playoff money, training camp pay etc). Walters is wise not to spend the money until he knows is actually available. Freisen put his own spin on it as well;

Zach hopes the Bombers will still re-sign Lawler. Bombers’ QB Zach Collaros calls timing of CFL salary cap increase ‘absolutely ridiculous’ Players cannot officially sign with their new teams until February 11, which could allow some to be swayed by a final offer utilizing the league’s newfound windfall. Collaros hopes the Bombers use the opportunity to try and win back a few of their departing stars, namely receiver Kenny Lawler who is currently set to join the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. “I’d hope so. That’d be a no-brainer to me,” he said. https://3downnation.com/2025/02/06/bombers-qb-zach-collaros-calls-timing-of-cfl-salary-cap-increase-absolutely-ridiculous/

Bombers signings; Latavious Brini LB/DB Arkansas - was with Argos and Als last season. Isaiah Avery DB Portland State - went to 49ers rookie camp last year.

and another one.

Lookie here.... another one to Hamilton

I saw someone mention that the league was to advise the CFLPA on Jan 15th what the increase would be. So Walters knew about the increase and he still let Lawler walk? Or if the GMs actually didn't know about the increase until today, would Walters try to re-sign any of the players that have verbal agreements with other teams?
