I don’t know he did a lot of heavy lifting early on, and was great in the 2019 run in the playoffs. We literally went from a 5 win team to a contender the season he joined us. I know there’s a lot of factors at play but having a Canadian running back who can run for tough yards and have an impact in the catching game was foreign to us at the time it’s just something we take for granted. after having guys like Grigsby and Cameron Marshall at the RB position, Harris’s arrival was a big deal.

He also said he could play for another 20 years. Completely delusional.

Correct. 2017 Nichols maybe but 2019 Nichols was a shell of his former self. Zach pumped life into the Bombers going into the playoffs. Coming from behind to beat Calgary in the season finale gave the team confidence we could beat them again when it mattered, because at that time the stamps were the Bombers of the CFL and we often came up short against them but in big games up to that point.

I’m hoping Thomas is just insurance for Lawson this year. We need three Americans on the DLine and if Thomas is getting limited reps and his salary reflects that I can get behind it, otherwise man oh man…

I hate how the CFL does its schedule. Like 9 teams In the league, 3 bye weeks, 18 regular season games, i know it can’t be perfect but every team should be able to get a bye every 6-9weeks. We play 11 games in a row between our second and last bye. Absolutely idiotic.

I absolutely hate having a week one bye!!

100 percent agreed. IF they used him like they did in 2019 I would have less problems with this. I guess the silver lining is hopefully Lawson is back and healthy and Thomas is regulated to a rotational role but even when it’s all said and done If the Bombers we’re serious about change guys like Thomas and Gauthier would be long gone.

Richard Karikari would like a word with you guys!

135 for Holm. Seems pretty fair. Definitely could have got more somewhere else.

Maybe our new OC will use him right and not as a glorified running back.

Nice! Huge signing.

B.C is close to signing McInnis. I’m a little surprised. I thought he would follow Adams to Calgary, or was hoping maybe we’d be in on him if we weren’t able to bring guys like Woli, and Lawler back.

Well he’s right. Over 300 k for a receiver is crazy, and quite frankly not even close to worth it.

I’m really trying to wrap my head around this. Wilson can’t be counted on to be anything more then a rotational guy because of his health, he’s still a decent player when he’s on the field, and Gauthier is still a good ST player again while healthy. I have a hard time believing both would be in the league if Winnipeg didn’t offer them contracts. I’m hoping it’s a case where they realize this and it’s under a team friendly deal because otherwise it just leads me to believe more of the same old from the Bombers.

Two injury prone guys that I would have moved on from.
