Here's Penton's reply from a minute ago about McCune to Winnipeg: @PentonKirk: Agent says nothing yet.

Apparently Bob Mitchell covers the Argos and Leafs for the Toronto Star. Interesting that tweet is from 8 hours ago and no Winnipeg media has reported this yet.

Source?

I agree. Except Sims-Walker is sounding like 50-50 at best that he's actually in camp this year because of his knees. Some reports say his career may be over.

That was a great read!

I honestly can't tell if you're joking anymore. lol! Definitely a joke!

I was really hoping the Bombers would win the Aaron Hargreaves sweepstakes.

Agreed. One thing I won't miss was his annoying habit he developed in the past two years of complaining to the refs after every incomplete pass to call pass interference. I hope that the receivers this year stop doing that. All it does is make the refs not want to call the PI, even if it's blatant. Ya that was getting really annoying.

Well Walters said we had an offer out to Matthews, after Moore was signed. Use that money then for Laurent.

I like him, but he's started what...2-3 games in his career?

And just like that, Aaron Hargreaves becomes the most experienced Ottawa receiver. Burris must be sh*tting himself looking at the group of WRs he'll be throwing to.

The Nick Moore signing now looks huge. Edwards was likely making well over $120k per season and Matthews. $60k+. I hope we use that extra money to throw at Ted Laurent.

Does that include the 2015 season, meaning 2 more seasons?

Can he play MLB? Nevermind, just saw he's 5'9", 195 lbs. definitely not MLB material.

Is there a reason? Typically it's for an NFL contract.

I heard he's getting $400k per year

I read your first blog...great job! I will look forward to the new entries. One statement you made stood out to me where you refer to Max Hall's "lack of a quick release". My observations of Hall are that he has a very quick release and that is one of his strengths and is one factor that made the OL look better in the games he played in.

How much could he be making as an RB coach at a small NCAA US college?

I suggested this to Kirk Penton and he thought it was an interesting idea. Barrett and Willy have a close relationship as Barrett used to be his QB coach in Buffalo. Willy mentioned in his intro presser that they still keep in touch. Barrett obviously knows the CFL as a former CFL QB. Barrett is currently an RB coach for a US college. Penton figures they'd let him leave for a pro opportunity. I really think Barrett would be a great fit as Bombers QB coach. Would really help with Willy's development. Thoughts?

When is Ted Laurent's NFL workout this week?

Sask fans are mostly upset with this trade.

Remember, Morley is expected to start at centre this season, meaning 2 of Neufeld, Pencer and Swiston will need to start if we want to have 4 NI's on the OL. If only one steps up and we end up starting Jarvis Jones at RT, then we will need to start either 2 NI DB's or a NI on the DL.

Wouldn't it be nice to get both Lavertu and Goossen? Goossen can play all 3 spots on the OL. If I'm Walters, I might trade our 1st rounder in 2015 for one in 2014 to get these 2, just to get a head start on the OL rebuild.

He's only 24 years old.

The Nick Moore signing is looking a lot better now.
