You’re right that’s kinda mean.

I know Miller blamed the overage on injuries but wouldn't they have had re-signing bonuses included in the total as well? 

Not that it matters but it would appear to me the team knowingly went over the cap.

 

I don’t think just under the draft pick punishment can be an accident.

Could've been worse.

Could've cheated even more and lost a Grey Cup...

Do you get 3 yards for every one actually ran? 

Those uniforms are an abomination

Curious why the CFL is getting rid of that number....

Weird, googled it, and this came up.

Quote

The NFL is set to introduce a new number beginning in the 2023 season. Players will now have the option to wear the No. 0 jersey, something that had previously only been allowed at the college level.

At least one NFL player is already planning to wear No. 0 this year: Jaguars receiver Calvin Ridley, who announced his intentions on Twitter.

 

Pretty sure the CFL used to allow #0 and #00 as two different numbers.   Could be they are keeping #0 and getting rid of #00?

Bought time we drafted some more OL depth. I wonder if the backend of this draft will be full of flyers on the NFL level talent?

I think 6 imps 7 ni and 1 global is pretty strong depth for camp. It’s a perfect time to take a flyer on a futures nfl guy.

And mini camp. Bout frickin time for some football!

really feel like our secondary is underrated by a lot around the league. Yeah, our offense is going to be awesome, but that secondary has the potential to be something special. Also really interested to see if JJ's new off-season regime is going to result in more games played this year. If he and WJ5 can play most, if not all, games this year, that's going to be massive.

Improved health from jj and kyrie, plus an actual nose tackle if he pans out, that secondary plus the horses to rotate jj and Wj again and you have the makings of a very scary D.

A lot of ifs there, but it does look solid.

We talked about two of these guys when they were signed a few weeks ago but I didn't see it announced anywhere else that the Bombers are bringing back Robbie Lowes after he got hurt in rookie camp last year.  Glad to see he's healthy again.

I would bet that we have the only Bermudian pro football ever signed.

For sure. Especially with soo many teams guys from this draft class. Pretty sure every guy we drafted will be in camp this year and don’t have eligibility left.
