Yes he ran his mouth on a twitter a few times right before he played us, but he also backed it up everytime. I can appreciate/tolerate that more then someone running their mouth then disappearing when its time to put up or shut up Jovon wasn't needed two years ago, who is he going to replace now that the Bomber D-backfield is better then it was when he left? blitzmore and SPuDS 2

Bigblue204 Posted February 4, 2016 Report Posted February 4, 2016 The only situation I want JJ back, is if we sign 2 starting Canadians. And he replaces Bucknor on the field side corner. Don't want him anywhere else on the field. SPuDS 1
bearpants Posted February 4, 2016 Report Posted February 4, 2016 No thanks Jovon... you were great (maybe even the best) in 2011... it's not 2011 anymore... Also, the more I think about the Harris situation, I wonder why Wally doesn't release him early...
17to85 Posted February 4, 2016 Report Posted February 4, 2016 Jovon Johnson? really? come on people, he was washed up when we let him go and that hasn't changed. Yeah he might have made a couple plays against Winnipeg but so what? At this point in his career he's not worth wasting time on. Dirty30, Bomberfan85, Dr. Blue and 4 others 7

If he does not have a late bonus(January) there is no reason to release the player early as it all the teams interested in signing the player a chance to get it done before free agency starts and not have to be distracted by trying to sign said player.
DR. CFL Posted February 4, 2016 Report Posted February 4, 2016 Don't kid yourself teams are already talking to potential free agents behind the scenes. When David Benefield signed in Winnipeg he was in a room at CanadInns Polo Park waiting for the clock to strike midnight to sign the deal.
Floyd Posted February 4, 2016 Report Posted February 4, 2016 http://www.cfl.ca/2016/02/03/landry-noon-yet-advice-free-agency-2016/ They give Winnipeg props for signing Dressler and Quincy McDuffie... sigh.

Exactly, I would be shocked if the Andrew Harris signing isn't announced soon after midnight(just long enough to avoid a tampering fine like Edmonton).

Also, the more I think about the Harris situation, I wonder why Wally doesn't release him early... Each team will make offers to multiple players once free agency starts, not knowing which ones will come off the board early and which ones will have extended bidding wars, creating uncertainty both in terms of roster goals and budget. Or to look at it from the opposite direction, signing Dressler before free agency gives the Bombers some certainty at that position that they otherwise would not have had at the start of free agency, both for securing a starting receiver and budget. Now they can cross a position off the list and have a better idea how much money is left to play with when there are multiple irons in the fire that require quick reactions. By keeping Moore on our roster until the start of free agency, we help contribute some uncertainty to the other 8 teams free agency plans. By keeping Harris from signing here (for example) early, Buono makes it harder for us to have a concrete plan of how much we can offer Bourke (for example), which could be the advantage they need to swoop in and sign him there. It's a minor advantage, but they'll take any advantage they can get. Stickem and Bigblue204 2

Dirty30 Posted February 4, 2016 Report Posted February 4, 2016 So.... 2 hours ago, Mike said: FA opens at noon, otherwise I'm with ya But where is he going to sign??!!

Pinning our hopes on a 30 year old receiver and a Hamilton backup that seems like Darvin Adams 2.0 got me down for a bit. I'm better now. I really am.
