Changing here.... What's everyone take on David Watford? 28 years old, 6-2, 215 .... believe with running ability, used on short yardage..... Started a couple games for Hammy, has spent time with them and Sask....

Add - Starter Desjarlais to NFL and reserve Nelson to Edm as well... There are some adequate replacements, but I do agree that's a ton of talent. Hopefully it all comes together by Oct/Nov of this year.

By my count, since this Free Agency has started, 11 of our guys have gone to the NFL or other CFL teams.... That is a lot and its only 3:45 on Tuesday, the first day of actual Free Agent Day...

If its Burger King budget money,,, get it done on Wednesday.... Whopper Day

I see a receiver in Sask with the highest percentage completion stat, 12 yds/catch, 27 years old, that probably could be gotten on an affordable salary... and replace Davin .. JWL...

Probably, see Sask's name come up a few times today, making selections...

Huff, spent all his money... Only can buy, McDonalds now...

key word..... smart

I lost all respect for the Riders and the Rider fan base, over that guy, when he left them high and dry... Then it landed up, being how terrible the Bomber organization was,, that Lapo wasn't allowed to coach the Riders....

For starters, you have a maverick in Chris Jones, who comes with all the shenanigans that is capable on a football field or office. Secondly, the individuals/organization running the Argos, who rehired him last fall and endorsed him for the Edmonton job. Should never had happened, he had his dream job, coaching high school football.... He's bad news for this league. This is a prime example of things to come. Buckle up the chin straps...

Once the fall out with Lawler happens, think the others will happen right after...It's been quiet the past couple days, after JA27 signed...

Sorry, no to Banks,... I just can't see him fitting in,...

Thank you,,,,

Well everyone... Hopefully we can get Kenny Lawler back in blue and gold... otherwise, Ricky Collins Jr, Josh Huff or Greg Ellingson. Saw the comment about Ellingson (2nd down possession receiver), I'm interested in feedback about the other 2 guys...

Thanks, yes he was released, but there was some hype when he came on the scene last year. After his release there was a comment or two, that he may be an option in 22, as he possessed playing time as a NFL receiver for the Bears & Saints, I believe. Further, he is/was a resident here in Winnipeg last year, today I don't know. This is why I added his name along with the other receivers in my response above, showing that the team is ready when needed to move forward or change. But overall, I believe the Cdn Mafia knows their team. So, when it comes time to move forward in certain situations, making those not so popular decisions, they will or do. As probably is the case here, now... leaving you and I to debate, lol....

Yes, right about Liam Dobson... Hope he is here for training camp, although the NFL desire could be there for him, this year...

I believe the roster is being built that way: Harris - Augustine, Oliveira & Borsa / Stove - Sayles, Walker, E. Rose / Adams - Mcknight, Agudosi, Meredith & recently signed rec who was in last years training camp and showed well before his injury. This years entry draft will yield an O-lineman and I believe they draft a defensive tackle as well in the early rounds.

Our cost so far in free agency has been the 2 starters (Desjarlais, Alford) and 1 rotational (Kongbo) to the NFL. I believe its not over yet, sadly we will lose another (3) three (Harris, Adams & Stove) to our league, and perhaps a couple players with lesser roles will not be resigned. Just my take!!! Also, believe Lawler, Darby, Oliveira, Grant & B.A. will be resigned within the next couple /three days.

Yes, AH ran for 138 yards that afternoon, I believe... Riders front couldn't stop Harris and the O-Line i.e. run game.

I enjoyed the "run game" in the West Final on Dec 5th @ IG Field.... and the effort in the Grey Cup, especially in Overtime.

I do put some stock in some of Farhan's reporting regarding the Bombers and the CFL. I also have seen the Walter's presser from a week ago. There was mentioned of Head Coach and Andrew Harris having conversations, but sounding positive, as I took it.... Based on what I'm reading,, is this someone or a outlet, looking for "headlines" or a news creation? By now, we should have heard something from the local folks who cover the Bombers....

Let's not forget about Borsa who is signed, had some impressive testing numbers last year prior to the draft and did well with the U of Regina last fall. Harris, Oliveria & Borsa as our Cdn rb's this year. Augustine given an opportunity to roster with another team, as he deserves that full time shot in my opinion.

Hope the Bomber Store has a large inventory of toques and the Marketing group is ready to jump on this one!!!

I believe that would be ... Feb 6th to Feb 8th...

Hopeful we can keep retaining a few more of our guys this week & early next week (8 - 9 guys). Think we may lose one of our receivers (hope not), one of our running backs next week, along with Stove and probably a DB. As it is today, we lost 2 starters and a rotation D-linemen so far. As far as receivers, Jake Weineke would be first choice as non Bomber free agent receiver, along with Greg Ellingson & Josh Huff I believe fit, if its Kenny Lawler we are replacing. Replacing Adams or Bailey, need more time to think on them, as we have recent signings, McKnight and a couple/three vets that were in camp last year or were signed/retired... Another would be Walker from Edmonton, but I wonder about him, as I was "all in" on him a couple years ago and he turned his back on us and signed in Tor (compensation would have to reflect last years Edmonton performance)..... Definitely, hard no's on Williams & Speedy!!!!
