If I'm not mistaken... I believe Murphy was directly connected to the Pacman Jones debacle...

And it was Murphy's friend that was caught diagramming Hamilton's plays in the "it's been handled internally" debacle.

Will be interested to see if receiver T.J. Thorpe can put together a good camp. I noticed Ed Tait named him as one to watch. Also, anyone know if Gerrard Sheppard is eligible for the rookie camp? Is there a rookie camp roster out there somewhere?

Players who played 7 or less games last year are eligible. Roster comes out this morning.

Walters made it clear that the Bombers will need to start some rookies this year just because of the salary cap.

“With the escalating salaries of guys, teams across the league are going to have to pencil in a certain price point when you are doing your salary cap projection at certain positions,” Walters said. “It is what it is and every team goes through it, pencilling in what you think a price point is for that position.

FIVE TO WATCH - Ed Tait

    •    94 Jackson Jeffcoat, DE: He popped in for a quick workout during mini-camp in April – he was the lone lineman attending – and the Bombers staff is impressed with the former Texas star’s quickness. An All-American with the Longhorns, he is the son of former Dallas Cowboys defensive end Jim Jeffcoat.

    •    47 Roc Carmichael, DB: It’s a nightmare for new defensive backs to be asked to cover receivers on the wide Canadian field AND get used to the ‘Waggle’ – receivers in motion pre-snap – but Carmichael gobbled it up and stood out at mini-camp. He could get snaps at defensive halfback and the dime/strong-side linebacker spot owned by Maurice Leggett.

    •    65 Dominick Jackson, OL: He’s a human-eclipse of a man at 6-6, 315 and started 14 games as a senior at Alabama while being named second-team All-SEC in 2015 before stints with Washington and Detroit.

    •    14 T.J. Thorpe, SB/WR/KR: Another of the rookie camp standouts, Thorpe got good size at 6-0, 200 to play slot, the speed to play outside and kick-return skills. That’s the kind of talent toolbox every coach covets.

    •    6 Dom Davis, QB: He’s hardly a newcomer, but he is fighting with veteran Dan LeFevour to lock down the No. 2 spot behind starter Matt Nichols. And given those stakes, reps in rookie camp will mean just as much as the work in main camp come this weekend.

Darrin Bauming -

A couple more player additions are expected for the #Bombers as they round out their camp roster. Day 1 of rookie camp goes today at 3pm.

Darrin Cameron -
