Looke like Michael Chis-Ike should be at practice tomorrow. Bombers have signed him.

Update:

No firm time as of yet.

Thanks, where did you get this info? Was that included in the last CBA?

Yeah, I didnt think about suspednding those guys but thats a smart move. If they decided not to show up why give them the courtesy of cutting them so they can just sign with another team. I wouldnt be surprised though if Fayad is re-signed when he is able to practice again.

By my count there be at least 12 cuts announced this morning to get down to the 85 roster limit (plus non-counters). It would be 14 needed however Oliveira and Brady are on the injured veterans list it. The 4 below should be included as it looks like none of them showed up to rookie camp: WR 72 Braxton Burmeister DT 92 Kenneth Randall DB 13 James Campbell DB 46 Montrae Braswell DE 52 Ali Fayad and OL 69 Kendall Randolph might get cut if their injuries are considered to be long term.

11) Chris Streveler, Winnipeg Blue Bombers (A) Hard money: $120,000 Maximum value: $174,000 The fan favourite returned to Bomberland this off-season following a four-year stint in the NFL. He received a $36,200 signing bonus from Winnipeg and can collect $70,000 in base salary, $13,800 in housing money, and $3,000 each time he plays more than half of the team’s offensive snaps in a regular season game Milt was the exception. At one business I was at we had 3 or 4 players at an autograph signing and only Milt was given the envelope of cash.

Bombers didnt have any roster transactions today. They officially anounced the Ellis signing but he signed on May 9th. Edmonton, Sask and Ottawa all had a bunch of cuts.

Jefferson and Streveler weren't given any promo money but Cam Lawson was allocated 5k.

I realize its used for the viewers to understand whats happening but I hated her role in the show. Does she really need to tell the detectives what to do next? If I was one of them I would say thanks but I know how to do my f'n job.

Camryn Manheim to Exit ‘Law & Order’ After Season 23 https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/camryn-manheim-exits-law-and-order-season-23-1235998727/

I am sure minimum means minimum as in teams can allocate more than 110k to players in promo money this year if they wish. That section of the CBA is poorly written, as a legal document there shud be greater clarity. So far we know the Bombers have given 105k to three players. (Brady 50k, Schoen 35k, Demski 20k). My guess is they prolly allocated promo money to guys like Jefferson and Bighill as well.

I compared the training camp roster handout vs the roster on the Bombers' website and 4 players are missing on the handout. There is no mention anywhere they are no longer on the team: WR 72 Braxton Burmeister DT 92 Kenneth Randall DB 13 James Campbell DB 46 Montrae Braswell (there is a 13 on defence but its Bill Hackett) Also did anyone know that Winnipeg Rifles runningback Kaiden Banfield is participating in camp? He's number 30.

This sums up yesterday's media scrum:

Bombers signed dlineman Jabari Ellis today. He tried out for the Giants in 2022 then played 2 games with Montreal. The Als cut him last summer.

A couple of Riders olinemen wont be in camp.

Cant forget about Baby Billy;

Here's Pinball's 15 minute post practice press conference:

I thought about that. Maybe the Bombers just wanted to move on from Grant. With there being no limits to this promo money they could have easely found extra money for him. Did the Bombers actually lose any players that they wanted to re-sign? They knew they had to start turning over some of the roster. Need to develop the next group of starters.

If that is the case how were the Argos expected to justify giving Chad Kelly 100k in promo money? Thats alot to give to one player. How many appearances was he expected to make?

There is no cap to the promo money teams can give to players. Because of this, other than an accounting error there is reason for a team to go over the SMS cap.
