Where do you find this info.? The useless roster lists Clements, Hansen and Haba still on the 6-game!

We sure haven't seen much magic from Prukop yet this season, he was much more impressive running off tackle last year, he even threw a few nice passes.

Give em to Johnny, he's standing around anyway with nothing much to do.

He's not dressing for the next game, so he wants out.

That player happened to be Pete Robertson.

To what effect? Retaliating had the potential to get 2 or 3 O-lineman suspended for the Banjo Bowl, who comes out ahead in that scenario?

Bo is under contract for next season, he's not going to agree to renegotiate his salary downward and the Ti-Cats are not about to cut him, same goes for Harris in Sask. Each has had a handful of games to establish themselves on new teams, whether some fans think both their careers are done or not doesn't matter, they've signed legal contracts that define how much they will be paid for playing football next season.

So you expect another round of musical chairs with the same old QB's? I can't see many GM's thinking going into a season without a designated QB is a wise strategy.

Pending health, both BLM and Harris are under contract for next season with guaranteed money and will likely be ready for TC. Each is the key banner carrier for their brand, so they'll both likely be back excluding a regime change this off-season, in which case almost anything could happen. Where do you expect these magical QB replacements to emerge from? The CFL has been already tested by a lack of QB supply this season, Crum, Powell, Dolegala and Ford have been added to the shallow end of the pool, but there's not enough evidence they can swim well enough to become future starters. Ideally each receives a couple more years of swimming with life-jackets before being thrown into the deep end.

The TV Thread
Untold: Johnny Football, an interesting documentary about Johnny Manziel, it fills in a lot of his backstory and explains pretty clearly why he came off the rails, to the point he attempted suicide. He was a simple kid from a small town, much like Elvis. Too much, too fast, too young, celebrity culture creates ridiculous icons that would be impossible for anyone to live up to.

Unless there's another round of musical chairs this off-season, most teams already have their expected starters pencilled in for next year. Brown may have to choose a team that will provide him with a fair opportunity to compete for the starting job, which might limit him to Ottawa and Edmonton. Adams, Maier, Harris, Kelley, Fajardo and BLM are all expected to lead their teams next season, I'd be surprised if that isn't the case.

Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news
I think Emilus has a bright future in the CFL, he's a dynamic receiver and better than Justin McInnis (now in BC) and may be a better pure receiver than Rider favourite Schaffer-Baker. Didn't understand why they weren't using him more last season.

Calgary could be a good destination for him, they'd make good use of his blocking and he'd take some of the attention off Begelton....but ultimately he'd be serving the same role as he does with the Bombers and probably not for much more pay.

I agree, if Bailey left the Bombers he'd end up like Shaq Evans, a middle tier receiver looking for a place to call home but unable to establish himself as a prominent receiver in any other offence.

Looks like Lucky Jackson who tried out for the Bombers in 2022 and played a few games for the Elks made the Vikings PR. If it wasn't for the arrival of Schoen he might still be a Bomber.

I don't believe any receiver is worth $300k, but here we are. Your addition comes out to around $200k for Schoen, that might not be enough to retain him if another team offers him $250k+, which he deserves. Demski is locked in and Bailey already sacrificed salary to help pay for Lawler, Woli is getting paid journeyman wages for his contribution which is fitting. Deleting Augustine won't do it, if they want to retain Schoen and pay Lawler another big salary player will have to go. That means Jefferson, Jeffcoat, Biggie or Bryant, I would pick the last two as logical retirements at the end of this season. For Stanley it's time, and for Biggie he's probably making more off the field than on at this point in his life. The only reason for him to carry on playing another season is for the love of the game.

Probably the reason Masoli has not announced his retirement yet, hopefully Ottawa moves on and is not relying on him to pick up the reigns once again. Time for them to give up the ghost.

3 stars plus hh a tale of two Zachs
No fooling, they need to prepare players for transitioning to starters which may happen as soon as next season, Bryant, Bighill, Thomas and even Jeffcoat could all decide to hang up their cleats at the end of this year, prepare their replacements instead of wasting reps. on a novelty project. Like Haba, it's just as important to get Fox back in the mix in case Walker leaves for more $$ in F.A., don't want to be starting at ground zero in any position.
