I'm leaning towards Ottawa. Collins also said people would be shocked to hear who it was. Gave me a "As if a team that bad would turn me down" kinda vibe.

I don't think he ever made it to camp with us. He was signed by in Jan 2016 and released in early May 2016, prior to camp starting. He signed with Sask a couple weeks later.

I wonder which team said this...

That hasn't stopped the Argo's apparently. This week's insider talk article on 3DownNation has a bit about that:

There's our replacement for McGuire.

I'm assuming he's talking about the fact that Bowman was unable to order the police to remove protesters due to provincial legislation which prevents elected officials from directing the operations of the police.

From one of the articles I read, it sounded like Harris reached out to Pete Costanza and that's what got talks with Toronto going. Since he was acting as his own agent, maybe Harris hadn't reached out to every team?

For me, not having NHL'ers has certainly decreased my interest (in the hockey at least) but my interest in other sports isn't what it normally is (curling for example, I'm trying to follow the scores but have not watched a second of it). Not sure if it's just the time difference or what but yeah it's not the same.

Well they have rebuilt as their rosters are fairly different... whether or not they've improved is still to be determined.

I still hate this so much... f**k rewarding mediocrity, especially in the 1 year contract era where teams can quickly rebuild their roster through Free Agency (like Edmonton and Ottawa have done).

I would take BC's top 4 (Burnham, Lucky, Cottoy and Rhymes) over Sask's.

I would call or email the Bomber Store. I bought a blank road jersey after the 2019 GC and they had no problem adding Willie's name/number to it.

We can start hanging them at IGF West. Lots of room over there that will never get used.

Agreed for Bomber gear but I will to to a place like this for stuff the team doesn't sell, like autographed memorabilia.

The "ever" is too tramp stamp-ish for me... Leave that s**t for the Riders!

He had a knee injury at some point but was a healthy scratch towards the end of the season. 3DownNation had a small mention for him in their Free Agent DB rankings.

Ahh the eternal struggle! I'm in the same boat since picking a name for a jersey is always tough for me. In the past I would usually end up going with a past Bomber great but after back to back cups it's hard not to go with a current player (went with Willie J last time).

Agreed. A week ago, I had two hopes for Harris - move into the Bombers top 5 all-time yards list & move into the CFL top 5 all-time rushing leaders. Obviously he won't be doing the former but I'll still be pulling for him to do the latter.

How so? By saying there's a bit less respect him based on the way he handled his exit from the team? He's still a legend and future hall of famer in this city and his exit will not change that. Nobody is trashing the guy or his abilities but he openly admits he was not in the condition (mentally and physically) he needed to be last season and his reasons for leaving are contradictory. Should we be praising him for this?

Hard to say because his interview was so contradictory. On one hand, he was insulted that the offer would not have made him the highest paid RB on the team but on the other hand, he says he would have considered taking the offer, had Kyle & Osh looped him on their plans. If the offer was so bad, would he really have considered it, or is this just a case of his ego being bruised because he was clearly not being brought back as the starting RB.

He might not be the most respected guy after this past season. He admitted to coming into unfocused and not in shape. He also admits he isolated himself from the team and didn't have the same comradery. In his interview, he admitted family stuff was an issue.

Definitely felt like there was some tension when Harris was being held out and he felt he was good to go. Don't know I'd call that clashing with the coaches though... I would expect every athlete to be itching to get back asap.

I saw it mentioned somewhere recently he was supposed to be getting vaxxed soon (or he was contemplating it). Have to think if more than one team was trying to bring him in, that it won't be an issue by the time the season starts.

Would hate to see him in Green but it would be amusing watching every single gapper trying to delete all the trash they've talked about Harris & PED's over the last 18 months.
