any numbers released on Ouellette?

you're absolutely correct... but not the can of worms we need to open now... Let's celebrate Brady signing! My hope of the dollars aren't too high... but otherwise I already love everything else about this signing. EDIT: I see the dollars are perhaps a little too high... assuming Farhan is accurate... I don't love that part of it

@Brandon is taking a major victory lap... but he was right... a lot of us (myself included) overlooked the bad plays because they were outnumbered by the good ones... in the second half of the season and into the playoffs... they were reversed

They got two good player... could've got three without the overpay for Hardrick and Thurman...

I doubt that... you think he'd turn down 100k over a two year contract?... I think he'd definitely be back here if the difference was 10-20k... but 50k is significant

maybe he'll pull a Durant and bolt after the 120k bonus is paid 😁

I've been thinking about getting a Big Stan jersey for a while now... I've always felt weird about having the jersey of someone who is younger than me... and with Bryant being the only player on the roster (just barely) older than me and the fact that he's awesome... seems like a good choice... obviously I'll have to change this philosophy if I ever want to get another new player after that...

what makes you jump to this conclusion? Just the dollars?... I agree with you and I think the club is ready to give Richmond a starting role... but you just seem very confident Hardrick is out.

I actually complete agree with your point... I just am not seeing evidence that we're running it back the same way we did from 22 to 23... unfortunately that might include guys we actually want, like Brady and Schoen.

Don't the Bombers have one of the longest unsigned players list in the league... where are people getting this "bringing back the same team" idea from?... Bombers have 10 picks in the upcoming draft.... and unless they package two of them to move up to grab someone they love... I expect to see 10 new Canadians in camp (yeah, there'll probably be at least one futures pick in there) fighting to knock off the incumbents or other Canadian vets

I think the last game he ever played in, he received the GC MVP, MOC, and a GC ring... so he was still doing ok at that point fun fact... Bennett and Kongbo are the same age I honestly think the Als are going to try and get Brady and Dalton... 😒

I'm disappointed in this signing... not that I have any particular objection to Kolakowski... by accounts he had a good year in 2023... but if it came down to him or Gray... I'd have preferred Gray... also don't like the potential of blocking Eli or Dobson when both appear ready to be starters.

I get the feeling this might be a made up example... but even if it was true... It wouldn't surprise me if the Bombers just decided to roll with Dobson, Eli, and Richmond in their places and let the incumbents walk... then draft a couple OL to fight for the back up spot.

Would this kicker be considered a global?... I know it says he's from Venezuela but if he played in the NFL and XFL would he be an import?

Probably easier if we call it The Pas... I don't think that name is taken...

When I read this I was thinking it's hard to imagine the Bombers don't have one of those picks... we basically ignored the nationalize Canadian rule all season... Thanks for the answer Jesse.

I wonder if Miller was basically an assistant ST coach this past season... and maybe O'Shea liked what he saw... The team probably also knew Miller was never going to play last year... just kept him on the payroll as a player/coach

I don't think this move happens without Hall being fully on board.... otherwise he probably would've just been let go... I'm excited about these changes... Hopefully Younger can build on what works and add some of his own wrinkles in... Hopefully Miller can bring back or bring in a coverage system that actually works better than what we saw the last couple years

I think people are still bitter about Bighill playing in the Grey Cup when he clearly had no business being out there....as positions evolve, we're seeing less and less need for a "traditional" middle line backer, and more just two LB/versatile athlete type players... I think we would be just fine with Cole, Clements, and Wilson as a primary rotation of LBers... but I do expect to see Bighill back in a prominent role next year

You're forgetting Mace is not the GM... the guy responsible for fixing the o-line is the same guy who has not been able to improve the o-line for the past 3 years...

The fact that you remember this stuff is incredible and mind boggling... always a pleasure to read your Bomber history memories @Taylor Ribbins... unfortunately you father played 10 years before I was born so I'm no use to you... but good luck with your search!

funny that the headline is "Riders say no to Buck"... and in the actual article it basically says we don't actually know who turned down who I just looked it up... They are actually 11 years apart... Buck is 42 and MOS is 53... nevertheless, O'Shea could easily still coach for another 10+ years

Everyone loves to point out how Wally always made the tough decisions and it made his teams better... but Wally decided not to pursue Bighill when he returned from the NFL and decided a 29 year old Andrew Harris was washed up... those two decisions alone are a big reason why we have our two most recent grey cups

pretty sure Bighill is officially under contract for next year too

Rare... but Friesen is 100% correct on this one...
