Idk if these were try outs for next camp or if they guys failed a hard check point. Had hoped to atleast get a look at hart.

Probably just tryouts, they'd really have to jump off the page to displace another player that's been on the team since the beginning of the season.  If they showed well likely see them again in the spring.

Yeah Hornibrook was one of the guys we had on our neg list so they obviously saw something in him at one point.  I'd think he get another look next season with a full camp to show what he's got.

That would be my guess. I believe the PR increases for a few weeks and then goes back to regular just before the last game so that teams can bring in guys for a late season look and give prospects for next year some things to work on before they come to camp.

I don't think the PR reduces in size, but it terminates with the regular season. A bunch of teams are pruning the PR, so I assume it's prep for year end. Edmonton cutting guys who aren't gonna play etc. 

 I wonder if any one cut will be of interest/use. I suspect we will only add guys if it looks like we will not have some one for the play offs. Hope person gets a look and hubert gets one more. 

Cant believe we kept mitchell all year. Plus both Case and Smith. Man the PR is ugly. Would be better if the IR was jam packed all year, but still just ugly not turning over spots more when we've starved for positional depth at many times this year.

There's a 30-day PR expansion period after the NFL cutdowns. 5 additional PR spots. The Bombers activated it about 30 days ago. 

Unless they've recently changed this rule?

@DTonOB mentioned the end of the PR expansion  in his tweet so it would appear the rule is still in place.

You are correct.

Teams decide when in September the 30 day expansion is to start.

Which genius decided that? a Bye Week at the end of season.

And a bye week coming off a loss is even worse...

The PR increases by 5 people for a 30 day window and then reduces by 5, at the club's option of when they choose that window to be open, between Sept.5 and November.8th. If we opened our window a few days after the NFL cuts that 30 days expiry would coincide with the cuts we saw the other day. The PR does expire at season's end but the 30 day expanded PR window can end anytime from Oct. 4 - Nov. 8 and if clubs have used the expanded PR, like we do every year, then they must reduce numbers at the time the 30 day window expires.

PRs go from 12 to 17 players with an extra NAT necessary in those 5 if the club already has bare minimum NATs on the PR. It's all on CFLdb.

Yeah, unless Mitchell had unknown experience in the marines and hart came up with some toxic big guy nfl vibes doesn’t make a lot of sense. 
 

Im hoping that the mid season move to younger guys (largely facilitated by injuries) will bring about the much needed change for next year. That plus hopefully we win and a few guys like Jake hang em up.

Some transactions from today. I am thinking Griffin and Feltmate will be added to the active roster.

Wallace is due to come off the 6 game list so it's interesting to see Randolph was added to the active roster.

Wallace has also been taking full practices, but they might keep him on the ir to end the year.

Now is the time of year when we need to be running the ball as much as possible. Get the biggest heaviest nastiest bulldozers out there and just force it down everyone's throat.

Griffin is already on the roster, isn't he? Wonder if it's Woli and Feltmate coming back on the roster. 8 offensive linemen would be...a lot
