Mike Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 If someone can post the tweet that’d be nifty. Huge deal, signed through 2020 Piggy 1, MOBomberFan, Rich and 6 others 8 1

Rich Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 This news was going in 2 or 3 different threads. Merged them all into here. Huge signing! Mr Dee and 17to85 1 1
Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 Our immensely talented O-line just got better? Damn. Mark F and Bigblue204 2
blueingreenland Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 Great for our future! Wonder if he plays right away, and if so, who does he replace??
Booch Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 does he even factor in for this year now though?...replace Couture on active if anything?..can't see him supplanting a starter at moment..but if he has really improved since school you never know...at least...huge depth upgrade Bigblue204 and Tracker 1 1
Mr Dee Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 So now can we spell it Gray Cup bound? blue_gold_84, Nolby and wbbfan 1 2
JCon Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 He's not going to make an impact this year but going forward, this will be huge. We have a lot of Canadian talent on offense. Bigblue204 and blue_gold_84 1 1

17to85 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 More highly touted Canadian talent is always welcome. Figure out the rest later.
Jpan85 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 Couture a FA in offseason. I think one of Nuefeld or Hardrick is too.
blueingreenland Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 Not sure the free agent status of our O line guys, but having Gray for 2019 and 2020 is huge.
Jpan85 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 At one point could start 4 Canadians on the line and have 8 solis starting Canadians. JCon 1
JCon Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 Walters took a big chance selecting him in the first round. But, knowing that he had Canadian talent already on the line, he took it. Job well done there. Now it's up to Gray to earn a starting spot. Atomic and Floyd 2
trueBlue83 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 wow... talk about depth at the exact perfect time of year!
Jpan85 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 Really does make up for Ekakati not working out. Let’s Walters be creative this offseason with their two first rounders upcoming. BigBlueFanatic and MOBomberFan 2
blueingreenland Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 I'm assuming this is why Walters didn't go after other guys (i.e. Chris Matthews)...he likely gave Gray a nice signing bonus which counts against 2018 cap. Anyways...O -line could be strong for years to come. BigBlueFanatic, Mark F and blitzmore 3
17to85 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 Say what you will about Kyle Walters but he made drafting OL high a priority from day one and now we have depth there that I don't think I've ever seen the Bombers have. Bigblue204, Noeller, Mark F and 7 others 5 5
Tehedra Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 Sucks to sign during this year though, would have preferred next year to get to 2021 instead of 2020 Still awesome signing! Also gives some depth for the stretch run if required. So who has to be released now that we've added one to our roster?
