Bomber Free Agent Discussion

[Pete Catan's Ghost]

Gotta think that a new vision for how he was going to be used going forward was presented to him. Intriguing that he would sign before going to free agency, given there are no QBs under contract to entice him. It sure speaks to the BB culture as a selling feature.

Pumped for the Woli signing. I echo the previous posters who want to see him play slotback. (Somebody get somebody from the Bombers to read this board).

[Mr Dee]

If there was any doubt as to O’Shea’s influence...

“That would have been very odd, wearing a different uniform,” said Wolitarsky. “Heading into free agency… It was like, ‘I don’t know, man. This is my squad.’ I saw Osh (head coach Mike O’Shea) is coming back and I love playing for him. I just feel his style of coaching and his personality is something I vibe with really well.

“Dude, I’m excited. It’s a huge relief. I obviously wanted to be back and then it was just a matter of finding a reasonable deal. Then the team came through really huge. It’s pretty cool.”

Woli-dude

There’s nothing to Woli about

Hopefully they use Wolitarsky in the slot in 2020.  With his size he could be similar to Fantuz at that position.

Awesome signing..and yes true testament to the culture and family these dudes have created.

I have no doubt other than an NFL offer that the guys the team wants to keep, will be back as I cant see any wanting to leave if they get fair compensation.

Of all our free agents leaving potentially to a different CFL team it was Woli due to his misuse/underuse here..and him wanting to be utilized..I had fears of him heading to BC..closer to the coast and Cali and the prospect of Reily feeding him 10 balls a game

I wonder if Wolis' comment about the team coming through huge means he was told something about a QB/OC that could get him close to 10 balls a game ?

Love Woli's vibe. Just a laid-back carefree dude that probably says "Far Out" half a dozen times daily.

[BBlink]

We have our three skilled starting Canadians on the offensive side of the ball back for next year. Awesome

Woli only signed with the Bombers as all other teams would have turned him down and the Riders didnt want him. Hes going to have a terrible season and will hate having to play for cheater O'shea.

Not an actual quote. Just what every rider fan thinks all the time. 

[rebusrankin]

So we have Neufeld/Speller/Desjarlais/Eli and Gray as National OL. We have Harris and Oliveria as National Running backs. Demski/Peterman and Woli as National receivers. Man Walters has really built up our National Talent.

Seems to be 1 a day. I expect a few more before xmas. 

[Brandon]

Great signing... need these kind of guys moving forward.  

[BBlink]

So do we sign Stanley Bryant next and then once free agency comes around we let all of the QBs bid for lowest salary to be able to play behind our offensive line?

[Noeller]

 

[SpeedFlex27]

Wolitarski signing is huge.  I was thinking he may go to Ottawa with LaPo. Glad he's coming back.

They shud try to make a decision on the QB situation asap. Once they determine which QB(s) isn't in their plans the Bombers can look at trading their rights for a conditional draft pick.

and why is anyone going to do that when tampering has always been alive and well in the CFL?

[Dodge and Burn]

The longer we go without signing either Nichols or ZC it will be pretty clear we will go after one of the other FA qb's

Im cool with either JM or MBT

It's possible, but with 4 or 5 QB's going on the free agent market (Collaros, Nichols, Streveler, Arbuckle, Masoli), teams will likely wait till free agency rather than sending the Bombers a pick.
