If Heath were that selfish and only cared about making INTs, he wouldn't be a back-to-back All-Star, much less a highly prized potential free agent. JCon and Bigblue204 2

Noeller Posted January 14, 2018 Report Posted January 14, 2018 Interesting Tweet from Travis Bond.... “Bond not mobile to play T” but when I did play it in 2016 and 2017 I don’t recall giving up a sack... better check the film again and not look at the outlook buddy?. But I get it it’s your job to stir up something??... thanks for the motivation? Tracker 1
Noeller Posted January 14, 2018 Report Posted January 14, 2018 I'm thinking it's an NFL scouting report on him. Likely working on getting a shot down there...

blueingreenland Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 Bond deserves to get good $ this year. I just don't think the Bombers want to pay that much, plus they want an American elsewhere. All the best to you Travis, hope you get that NFL tryout! SPuDS 1
Arnold_Palmer Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 I love Bond and he deserves to be paid but in our current cap situation I don't think it's plausible to be paying big money for an American Guard. If he was a tackle he would be locked up by now.. but regardless he's going to get paid and he's going to be a huge upgrade to what ever team he goes to.
Blueandgold Posted January 16, 2018 Report Posted January 16, 2018 Letting Bond go to another team is a decision we’d surely live to regret rather quickly.. Mark F and Atomic 1 1
TrueBlue Posted January 16, 2018 Report Posted January 16, 2018 Poll Question: Would you rather resign Bond or Randle?
MOBomberFan Posted January 16, 2018 Report Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) I'd be in the sign Randle camp for certain. He's been the most reliable corner we've possibly ever had as long as I've been a Bomber fan. Travis Bond is an exceptional American playing a traditionally Canadian position. I can see us getting by without Bond, but being lost in the desert without Randle. Simply put, Bond is a luxury; Randle is a necessity.

Atomic Posted January 16, 2018 Report Posted January 16, 2018 Would have rather let Hardrick walk and roll the dice on Bond as our RT. I'm quite sure he can do it. Jimmy Pop, Floyd, M.O.A.B. and 2 others 5

I have a tough time envisioning Bond getting another NFL shot at nearly 28 years old. But you're right that is a risk. blue_gold_84 1
SPuDS Posted January 16, 2018 Report Posted January 16, 2018 Just now, Atomic said: I have a tough time envisioning Bond getting another NFL shot at nearly 28 years old. But you're right that is a risk. oh me too.. but he could end up on a PR and that team could injure 2 guards in a PS game then boom, hes rostered, possiby for a year and we would have to start considering Neufeld back at tackle if bryant or Hardrick went down. *shudder*

Floyd Posted January 16, 2018 Report Posted January 16, 2018 I'd take Bond over Hardrick and Foketi... It doesn't have to be a choice between Randle and Bond - other teams can afford to keep their core together.

Calgary's been the best team in the league since forever, and they lose good players in FA every year. The key to their success is being able to replace good players, not necessarily bringing all the same players back every season. blue_gold_84 1

No offence at all to Bond, but I'd argue Randle is more of the "core" of this team than Bond. SPuDS 1

Our OL solidified once Bond was inserted at LG... we are quickly forgetting how average the OL was before that 1 hour ago, sweep the leg said: Calgary's been the best team in the league since forever, and they lose good players in FA every year.

Totally agree... but we are likely replacing Bond with Neufeld - we're just bringing back the wrong guys imo (Neufeld, Hardrick, Foketi instead of Bond...) Mark F 1
Atomic Posted January 16, 2018 Report Posted January 16, 2018 How many players can the Bombers truly say we have the best at their position in the league? Probably just Stanley Bryant and Travis Bond. And it looks like we're going to let one walk. That's too bad. SPuDS 1
