NFL update on players potentially of Bomber interest

[Mark F]

Burleson played for the vikings, Seahawks , and made many millions of dollars. He's got a media career going, was on NFL network quite a bit. 

 

It would probably cost him a lot, to play in the CFL.

 

Glad to hear Muamba made the team, and sorry to hear about Matthews.

 

I'm surprised Same didn't make the team. He made a lot of big plays. The guy looked like he could play well enough to be effective in the NFL.

I wouldn't mind seeing Michael Sam. With the Flames owning the team & a player like Jon Cornish can't see him not being welcomed here. I mean, I think he's a better person than Quincy Butler.

What???

 

Meant to say "there". Typo on my part. Flames own the Stamps & President  Brian Burke's son was gay. Burke is now a huge proponent of welcoming gay players into both hockey dressing rooms & football locker rooms. Cornish mother's a lesbian. He was very vocal in his support of Michael Sam coming out just before the NFL Draft. Of all CFL teams THEY (Stamps) would probably be the most welcoming. Hopefully my post makes sense now. 

 

It seems kind of sad to me that this discussion is even happening in this day and age 

[Dr. Blue]

Maybe Burleson will deliver pizzas... ☺

We live in a world which still has a Flat Earth Society and creationists, so......

The Seattle Seahawks have released former #Bombers receiver Chris Matthews.

 

Do we want him? Do we need him?

 

Yes and yes.

 

Was Matthews one of those with "attitude" problems late last year or was he a True Blue professional?

[Dirty30]

Stewart, JJ, and Simpson were names I heard.

[17to85]

was the attitude that the coaches were ridiculous and no one wanted to play for them? Cause that's not a bad attitude, that's just an astute observation.

I think you are bang on. I believe a lot of it was perspective. The coaches last year pretty well lost most of the guys in the locker room and a lot of the guys were playing for themselves and not the team.

1-6, 1-8, out of football. Looks good on them.

[The Unknown Poster]

There were guys who reportedly quit on the team. I don't care how supposedly bad the coaching is. There will be good times and bad. A player is paid to play.

The coaches quit on the players before the players ever quit on the coaches. 

[Bomber Diehard]

Bilukidi has just been cut but might be put back on next week. He would be a great addition.

sounds like they might replace him with Kevin Vickerson next week, wonder if they'll put Christo on the PR.

[voodoochylde]

Bilukidi claimed off waivers by the Ravens.

[Tracker]

And we were sooooo close.............

[pigseye]

BC has far too many LB'ers

Linebacker Boseko Lokombo has agreed to terms on a contract with the Lions. Lokombo was the club’s third round selection (21st) overall in the 2013 CFL Draft. - Team Release

[Bomber Diehard]

Dammm Bilukidi was almost available ...possibly soon again.

We need another starting Canuck.

[Dirty30]

We need a receiver to replace Bryant too.

[Bomber Diehard]

We need a MLB too.....lol....

[17to85]

We need a receiver to replace Bryant too.

Explain to me why we need to replace Bryant when he's in the midst of his best season ever. 

 

now it occurs to me that maybe you mean Romby Bryant not bryant turner, in which case, i'm an idiot never mind me. 

[AKAChip]

Yeah Bryant Turner is having his worst receiving year of his career. Well, technically tied for his worst.

Yes I should have been more clear. I meant Romby. I think he is finished and really hope that Matthews decides to return to the bombers.

[Tracker]

Both Romby Bryant and Aaron Kelly looked pretty decent as receivers on Sunday. Doesn't mean they can't or shouldn't be replaced- particularly Bryant. Kelly actually fought for the ball on a couple of occasions.

[Jpan85]

Not sure many of these guys will play in the CFL year will probably wait around till the end of the NFL season.

yeah I was only half paying attention to what I was reading here and all the talk was about Bilukidi who is a DL and I just made the connection to Bryant Turner. It's my bad for not paying attention
