How do you know not all teams tamper?You are assuming that everyone who tampers gets caught, which simply isn't the case.

Agreed. That's why I'm hoping Walters/O'Shea have already spoken with Collaros.

I'd be concerned as tampering is a pretty serious thing to do. Would we like it if say Henoc Muamba goes to the Argos after his NFL aspirations fell flat & we found out Barker had discussions with him before Feb.15th? Serious? Last team found guilty of tampering was fined $5000.

Does anyone truly believe that Mike O'Shea hasn't spoken with Collaros since he became the Bombers head coach? I know its technically "tampering", but to be honest, I'd be concerned if he hasn't.

Does anyone know where I could find the 2012 Banjo Bowl online where Willy was the starting QB for Sask?

From Thursdays Winnipeg Sun: NO NEWS The biggest name among Winnipeg's 18 potential free agents is middle linebacker Henoc Muamba, the East Division's most outstanding Canadian in 2013. Muamba's agent, Johnathon Hardaway, offered a "no comment" when asked Thursday about the state of negotiations with the Bombers. Muamba is trying to land an NFL contract and has had contact with at least the Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos, but at last report a CFL source said "there has been interest but no real offers" for the first overall pick in the 2011 CFL draft. BIG INTEREST Receiver Chris Matthews is another Bomber whose contract expires next month, and his agent, Rodney Edwards, said Thursday "everything is still up in the air." Matthews has had workouts with 10 NFL teams but no offer as of yet. "With 10 workouts you would think somebody will sign him," Edwards said. "The workouts have gone very well. He's done very, very well for himself." Edwards won't petition the Bombers to release Matthews early if he gets an offer from an NFL squad, noting there is nothing a player has to do before off-season workouts begin in March. That being said, Edwards said he wants to have his client's NFL future settled one way or another before the start of the league's scouting combine on Feb. 22. Matthews played in only five games during the 2013 campaign due to back and foot injuries. He was the CFL's rookie of the year in 2012 after catching 81 balls for 1,192 receiving yards.

Ed Tait's article in today's Free Press confirms the Bombers are also interested in Willy, but Collaros is priority number one.

DAMN STRAIGHT! Loui, Loui!

LMAO!!!

I hope not. After the Gary Crowton mess, we need guys with CFL experience.

Nice find Mr. Dee! There's still hope it's not Etch!

Definitely joking.

Rod Pederson & Jim Barker stating the obvious: http://www.rodpedersen.com/2014/01/barker-collaros-likely-to-test-free.html?m=1.

I've been reading a few scouting reports on Drew Willy and I think he might be as good, or slightly better option than Collaros. Here's one of the scouting reports: http://walterfootball.com/scoutingreport2009dwilly.php. Either way, as long as the Bombers don't completely screw things up, we will end up with at least one very good QB.

Sorry wasn't targeted at you. Was more of a general comment about Bomber fans.

Since when do fans dictate front office personnel decisions? I'm not sure if our fans are THE most entitled and self-important, or if it just seems that way... Individual Bomber fans think "community owned" means "I own the team".

We already have a new ST coach. Dickenson ain't returning.

The expansion draft "killed" the Bombers?? Who exactly did we lose that will "kill" us? I'd say it had a minimal impact. Plus word is that Kolhert might re-sign with the Bombers.

Sounds like he has interest in eventually becoming a GM.

We seem to be signing a lot of NI WRs. Concerns that Etienne and Kolhert won't be back?

Agreed. I wonder if we'd be able to get Caron in the second round considering his stock has dropped a bit. I suppose everything will depend on how many Canadian top prospects get invites with NFL teams. We traded away our second rounder to Sask in the Patrick Neufeld trade.

Is anyone participating? If so, where are your current seats and where would you like to move?

How much do we see Henoc getting? $200,000 per season? More?

Hogue first started at Syracuse as a RB.

Has he ever run a normal CFL defense?
