Jones set it, unfortunately Walters is the only GM that followed his lead and tried to keep up. 225k should be established as the max for receivers, $150k for RB's. Woli is still under contract.

Not sure where people are seeing Mitchell as a dynamic returner, I don't recall him being all that great and his stats. are not significantly different than Whitehead's. Plus he doesn't appear to be a player they use to run the ball on sweeps.

Nope, O'Shea still hemming and hawing his days away, can't make up his mind. Mike O’Shea mum on timeline for Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ offensive coordinator hire “I like where we’re at (in the process),” O’Shea told reporters via videoconference on Monday. “(I’m) working on it, had some good conversations with guys, and just making sure I work through that process to discover what I need to discover and do it right.” “I don’t know that you rush this process. I think you work on it, you put your time in, and you come up with good answers and the right answers.” https://3downnation.com/2025/01/13/mike-oshea-mum-on-timeline-for-winnipeg-blue-bombers-offensive-coordinator-hire/ He'll be back.

In 2023 Mitchell was the #17 highest paid receiver at $150k, he did not make the list in 2024 but fair to assume he earned the same pay. https://3downnation.com/2023/04/19/the-cfls-20-highest-paid-receivers-for-the-2023-season/

I suspect he replaces Schoen or Lawler, high quality receiver at a cheaper price. Wilson is still on his ELC, they'll want to retain him for the length of that first contract.

I'd rather they pay Holm decently and convince him to stay long-term along with Nichols to maintain core consistency in the secondary, rather than spend on a high-flyer like Ford who will eventually leave to play elsewhere.

Strev. become inoperable in early Sept., they had 3 months to figure something out.

The 6'-7" decoy parked at the far end of the bench may have many unanswered questions about the reason for his existence. Unfortunately Brit Dort had no answers.

It'd be nice to have the personnel and ability to play both systems well and be able to mix it up better, sometimes the 3-4 works and sometimes it doesn't. Don't mind it when it works but having to stick with it through a game when it's not working is painful to watch.

Maybe Sunderland can dig up his old pal Jamie Elizondo for the OC job, hasn't been seen since he left the Esks. in 2021.

Kramdi is getting better every year, I think they'd want to keep him busy closer to the action so he can make plays, not back at Safety where he may only get 3 or 4 interactions per game. I think his weakness would be in deep coverage against speed.

Dumb Buck, Stanback is much more effective than Butler. Watch the Riders dump Ouellette and grab Stanback.

Isn't that the case already?

Wheatfall and Clercius will have a year under their belt and they're still on their ELC's, that's close enough to rookies

****! Invest an entire year developing a guy just to watch him walk out the door! Start again, but find a cost effective vet. this time. https://3downnation.com/2025/01/09/winnipeg-blue-bombers-rec-ontaria-wilson-signs-with-new-york-jets/#:~:text=The New York Jets have,to pursue the NFL opportunity.

He's alive and well and posts on the official CFL forum under Lyle B. Style

Wonder if the Ti-Cats tried to retain Jones as DC and he turned it down for this job? Can't see them selecting Brent Monson over him after the great job he did as temp DC after taking over last season. Not sure what's going on in Hamilton, they've loaded up on paper pushers and have only 2 coaches on staff right now in Milanovich and Monson. Maybe a wee bit top heavy?

Betts salary of $260k may have set him off, as last season he was paid $200k according to 3DN. He deserves a swack of promo money even if his play no longer justifies a raise, Willie, Brady and Zach are the 3 most recognizable faces on the team with Willie being the most vocal cheerleader for the franchise.

Pete Robertson is now available. https://3downnation.com/2025/01/06/b-c-lions-release-dl-pete-robertson/ AC Leonard is also a free agent. If they can't find or develop their own effective pass rushers they may have to consider scrap heaping disreputable discards to find a bookend for Willie.

Hard to say, but I think sparks will fly at the annual CFL meetings if Doman doesn't clamp down on his free spending, they're not going to allow one owner to completely ignore well established SMS limits.

They've already signed Tony Jones, there will be no hunt this season.

Is it too much to ask for a raisin, now and then?

I'm surprised they dropped the antlers, good things have been done with a horny beast. Dangerous receiver when healthy, but that's been rare.

It's no different than the Riders or Lions coming in all cocky and hot on a winning streak and getting repeatedly dropped by the Bombers, trending towards predictable outcome.

To be fair the front 7 received a major overall in 2024 bringing in plenty of new blood, Devin Adams, Ayers, Jones, Woods added to the lineup and Garbutt, Haba, Cole, Fox and Schmeck given more prominent roles, the only non-change was Willie and Jake. That's quite a bit of renewal implemented in a single season, Bighill only played half a season and Gauthier's participation as a starter actually diminished.
