Bombers extend Sukh Chungh through 2018

[Mike]

As per all things official

 

BIG NEWS to start the day!

[Jacquie]

Great way to start the day.

And Ha! to those who were so sure he would bolt as soon as his contact was up. 

[GCn20]

This might be the best signing we make this week.

[mbrg]

CALLED IT!!

 

 

(did not call it)

 

Odd that this has the potential to be our best signing of the day, but this has the potential to be the best signing of the day regardless of what else happens.

Very very pleased by this.  I'm thinking that of all our potential free agents, Walters managed to snag the biggest one at the last second.  Nicely done!

It's an extension.  He wasn't a free agent. His contract ended after 2017 so it's a 1 year extension

You are absolutely right.  I was just going to edit my post, but instead I'll just leave it there as a monument to my boneheadedness.

This is great because we won't spend the entire season wondering when Walters' will re-sign him. Great pick, great extension.

This is terrible.  Now we have to think of something else Walters is doing wrong this season.

Nice way to start off the day.

We can always wring our hands over our back-up QB and when will they get reps.

Glad to see the CFL knows who Chungh is... 

 

[bigg jay]

Love this.  If this is the only signing we do all day, I'll still be happy!

Hey, they got his butt in the photo.  Credit where credit is due.

Goossen has his hand up - "No, not me, you've got the wrong guy!"

No matter what else happens today is a win for the Bombers.

I was positive he'd be gone.

This is an extension. He was already signed through 2017.

[GCn20]

It is my understanding that Sukh Chungh loves it here so much that he took a deep discount to extend here.  #Riderfanlogic

Maybe they do but they don't want to go stupid and overpay guys who will more than likely be backups 

[Stickem]

It all makes sense....he's definitely on board for the Cup run....Terrific extension and removes a big question mark

[coach17]

What a great re- signing

Leave it to Walters to make a big splash on the 1st day of Free Agency without signing a Free Agent. #soundslikeaplancupid

[voodoochylde]

Great to see solid Canadian players extending and choosing to be in Winnipeg.  Not a splashy free agent but continuity along the line is a huge thing.
