WinnipegGordo Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 (edited) Bombers didnt have any roster transactions today. They officially anounced the Ellis signing but he signed on May 9th. Edmonton, Sask and Ottawa all had a bunch of cuts. Edited May 11 by WinnipegGordo Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is Ed only talks to the same 6 guys he's comfortable with, time for some new blood, the video segments should be handled by someone motivated and scared to lose their job.

WinnipegGordo Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 By my count there be at least 12 cuts announced this morning to get down to the 85 roster limit (plus non-counters). It would be 14 needed however Oliveira and Brady are on the injured veterans list it. The 4 below should be included as it looks like none of them showed up to rookie camp: WR 72 Braxton Burmeister DT 92 Kenneth Randall DB 13 James Campbell DB 46 Montrae Braswell DE 52 Ali Fayad and OL 69 Kendall Randolph might get cut if their injuries are considered to be long term. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you had the numbers more or less bang on, but they didn’t cut the four “no shows”, probably just suspended Fayad, DL Jordan Lewis, DL David Green, Randolph, WR Bryce Mitchell, WR Keontaye Thompson, K Jose Borregales and ….

bustamente Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 I don't think the cutting of Bennett is that much of a surprise maybe the timing is, you expect a first round pick to show something, anything and he was mostly invisible last year.

Looks like they are planning to go for an all American rotation at DE. Schmekel stays for now as depth a DT but I’ll bet he’s the bottom of the depth chart with Thomas, Lawson, and the draft pick rebusrankin, wbbfan and Bigblue204 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they take that cash and sign Kongbo instead? That ship has sailed I guess, but you never know. Bigblue204 and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedawg Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 I think one thing to keep in mind with first cuts around the league is a lot of them are simply due to injuries I remember last year Tyrique McGhee was cut after rookie minicamp and here he is on the roster a year later competing for a starting spot. I'm willing to bet Anthony Bennett is just injured and the same for some other big names cut like Terry Godwin and Jalon Edwards-Cooper. Good chance all those guys are brought back once they heal up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If vets are injured they go in the injured list like they just did for Demski and BO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedawg Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 Teams are only allowed to have two vets go on that injured list. Otherwise you are putting guys on the 6-game IL right now to open up spots and then they have to miss at least the first four games of the regular season.

He stood out in a bad way while on the field. BigBlueFanatic and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluedawg Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 Probably 50/50 if Bennett is back in blue. I think you guys are a little down on him, understandably so. He was decent on special teams just gave the team nothing on defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 Bennett was the invisible man last year, not a surprise cut at all really. Especially since they look to be using Canadians elsewhere. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 (edited) Not a shock to me....and I even said way back that he shouldnt even be in camp taking reps from someone else....piss poor draft pick...lesson learned I cant see any of Scmeckle...Kornelson on the roster....even on depth chart...Ideally I'd like to see Lawson and Samson on roster as the cnadian DT depth if we chose to roster 2, and Fatboi on the 6 game or PR...those other 2 will amount to diddly, neither will surpass Lawson or Samson and are just dead weight Gut tells me we may go....and should go import heavy on the dline surrounding Lawson and if Ford....or god help us Kramdi are starting at SAM or Ford atcorner for 8 canadians we see a lot of all import fronts...
