Santos L. Halper is coming home. Jovan Santos-Knox agrees to terms with Winnipeg Blue Bombers - 3DownNation

I did the same - I got a lot of the references but not everything so I looked into it. I've never once listened to his music so might not be part of the target audience and it's not going to make me go out of my way to listen to him but I appreciated the opportunity to see/learn something new. They could have done much worse (and have) so I had zero problems with the half time show.

I wonder how what his snap count would have been if Strevy doesn't blow out his knee? The only game Wilson saw action beyond short yardage was the last game of the regular season when ZC was sitting and then Strevy went down early. Took a worst case scenario to see what he could do (to be expected for QB3 though) and what we saw wasn't good.

That's pretty much how I expect it to go down as well - ZC, Perkins, Wilson with Artopoeus or Thorne on the PR. Might get interesting if Elgersma does show up at some point though - would they stick him on the PR where he could be poached or would he bump Perkins or Wilson from the AR?

Evans and Patterson are both pending FA's and AFIK have not agreed to terms anywhere yet. They were listed at #5 & 12 on 3DN's top FA QB's so either one could be had if there was interest on our part. Don't see them bringing back Patterson though since he didn't even make it out of camp with us last year. 2026 CFL free agent rankings: quarterbacks - 3DownNation

They would have been better off giving guys like Wilson some reps a season or 2 ago but that's not the MOS way & I don't see that changing now.

A chance for the wealthy to come out & say "Yay sports"? It's all about the money. With one burger going for $180 USD (about $245 CAD), it's a prime example of how the game is not for the average person. The Most Expensive Item on the Super Bowl LX Menu Is an Absolute Monstrosity

He was also pretty beat up last year and was dealing with an arm issue (elbow and/or should iirc). Wasn't really given a chance to heal properly or play at 100% because Davis kept getting hurt and so did Caleb Evans.

Don't forget Elgersma is also a possibility. Walters believes they might get more info on by the end of the month when NFL teams are done signing futures contracts.

Did Edmonton announce it or did the league? Nothing on the L's website about it so maybe the league put it out there for clarity since rights transfers are rare. Edit - just saw Hervey's statement. Said it was an attempt to do right by the player and other clubs and let them get going on things without needlessly holding up the process. The website is not completely up to date. They signed a 6'6 DL named Michael Fletcher the other day but he's not listed so there's definitely people missing. He was signed before Ceresna was made official yet he's on there so it's a bit random.

The motivation was simply that Edmonton wasn't going to match the offer we made so instead of waiting for the clubs 48 hour exclusive negotiating period to end, they just ripped the bandaid off and moved on.

Can confirm - ran it through Google Translate and this is what came back:

Ended the year on the PR so he was a FA but we re-signed him a couple weeks ago.

FWIW, this analysis has us as a possible destination for Ford. Not sure I entirely agree with that but we do need a backup with legitimate experience. I wouldn't be opposed to it if we could make it work financially - like a bonus heavy contract that would only payout if Zach gets hurt or something. https://www.cfl.ca/2026/01/30/3-potential-landing-spots-for-tre-ford

Ottawa released him.

I really hope he's taking advantage of marketing money and loading some guys (ex: Willie and Brady) up with it. That would free up a bunch of cap space and it's not like the club can't afford it.

Does he want to leave Edmonton? He took less money than offered elsewhere to go back there a couple years ago. I know his wife works in healthcare out there and family was one of the reasons he went back. **nevermind - looks like he is willing to move. He's still hoping to work something out in Edmonton but will go to whatever team wants him. ** Jake Ceresna healthy after injury-plagued season, ready for CFL free agency - 3DownNation

30 years old, had a torn ACL that forced him to miss the end of 2024 and almost all of 2025. Not exactly what the NFL looks for.
