2024/2025 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread

[17to85]

Alexander was such a key piece for this team's rise. Even when he was clearly past his prime last season it's so hard to say bad things about the guy.

All things come to an end. He was a great player for us.

3DN misinterpreted his goodbye to the Bombers as him announcing his retirement. His agent clarified he's still looking to play next season.

"He took to social media on Sunday to thank the team for their time together, which some outlets, including this one, interpreted as a retirement message. Instead, Alexander’s agent reached out to 3DownNation to explain that his client isn’t retiring and is still actively looking for his next playing opportunity."

I figured the reality of the situation had set in on him that he wasn’t getting signed by this point too. 
 Guess not, not much of a chance he gets another look any where.

Yeah was hoping he'd go the Mike Miller route and stick around as a coach but if he still has the itch to play then I guess it wasn't meant to be.

A lot of vets get that thought from us on their way out, but ba is legit one of the best candidates for coaching. Might make more sense to have him under Jy after hall retires though.

Has Alexander expressed an interest in coaching? Am I wrong or did he train as a teacher? 

[Noeller]

I remember our incredible head coach 😁 saying something about how BA had a really bright future in coaching because he was always operating in that role even as a player.

Hoping that's 95 days until Thomas is kicked off the starting lineup!

Best of luck to BA in his future endeavours. Another good dude. He was a real one. Changed the secondary when he moved to safety. Prob deserves a spot on the ring of honor down the line and another veteran bites the dust. Bighill and BA, both were obvious. The other one should have been 95 days until camp.

I don't think Miller had any coaching aspirations but it happened.  I only thought it might be a possibility for BA based on the way he's been described as essentially being an on-field coach for us.
