A few years ago, maybe. Its hard for a MLBer to deserve to be the highest paid defensive player in the league. Now should the bombers be willing to over pay, and or risk a cap wrist slap? I would say yes. Our vet talent is peaking. We cant expect 2+ years more at this level for a bunch of guys. We no longer have a proven vet back up qb, we have the cap room and we have missed out on 3 major impact mlbers. Bear woods twice in the past year and a bit. 

Randle is 29 dressler is 32 harris is 31 mo is 31 bryant is 32 nichols is 31. Dressler has had his injury problems, mo is coming off one of the biggest injuries in football (short to medium term/career term) Nichols got banged up a bit last year with a better ol in front of him then right now. It is reasonable to expect that in 2 years half those guys will be gone. + the possibility that some one like poop could be gone in that time range to the nfl as well. (idr the length of his contract*)

Now is the time to risk it and make the moves to win today. Im not saying empty the cupboards and go all in, but we need to be a buyer. Not a seller or inactive.

That title currently belongs to Solomon Elimimian, which means a Bighill return to B.C. will require a "Hometown Discount" which might happen as Bighill's wife is from Vancouver and Bighill kinda owes BC for taking a fine for letting him go to the Saints.

Having shared an elevator with Mr and Mrs Bighill in Vancouver I will just say good work Mr Bighill.

Wally could probably find that under his sofa cushions.

Two more DB's down, it sounds like the Bombers may be experiencing a few no-shows on the first day of camp.

Winnipeg has transferred Internarional defensive back Travis Howard to the retired list and released International defensive back Ezra Robinson. #Bombers

Johnny Augustine! I remember he was being talked about as a first or second round pick in 2017, then nothing came of it.

I think Wpg. is now his third team. Esks. Riders, Bombers.

More Canadian depth at runningback can’t hurt. With our depth at Canadian receiver being pretty raw we might see LeFrance/Harris on the field at the same time with one being more of a slotback. So having more Canadian depth on the roster at runningback may be essential. It’s not a bad idea to for the team to give itself options.

[GCn20]

Pressley had a very impressive TC with the Vikings in 2016. Highlight reel stuff. If not for some very impressive depth ahead of him he may have made that team. Could be a sleeper pick for surprise of TC.

Sad to hear about Coates being released...

It' all numbers, Bombers are at the point of having to delete players in order to add new ones, so hard decisions have to be made....sometimes before they even touch the field.

Glad to hear that Travis Howard got to retire as a Bomber....

I for one am glad that Rich doesn't handle membership the way the Bombers are handling DBs thus far.😀

I heard he returned his signing bonus because he thought it was the right thing to do rather than be a ****** bag.

Corrected your statement

Going forward I will always think of Darian Durant's DD as Double-Doosh.

Johnny Augustine!!!  This is like my dream CDN RB core ha

And Brisly Estime is now my favourite Bomber.

Donteea Dye is a close second though... as long as its pronounced Dontcha Die.

Bauming saying Estime has been released. Failed physical

jhurell pressley reminds me a lot of keith stokes. Excellent speed and speed tool set. A guy who will bounce around and run backwards a mile to try and gain an inch. Doesnt look like he has the power to truck over guys, but does run hard and isnt brought down easily or by arm tackles. Gets up to speed quick too. He might be the biggest threat to take some ones job as a DI returning kicks. And would give us even better depth at RB. The fact he catches the ball out of the back field well is a bonus too.
