Tin foil hat time.  For argument's sake, let's say that Jones is a total douchebag who doesn't care what he has to do to win.  Except that he's not winning, but at the same time, he needs wins now and preferably, also win a series against someone.  So why not bring in someone expendable that will gladly go qb headhunting.  Some crazy dude that can be used and then released.  But, na, Jones is a total professional and would never stoop that low.  Forget I said anything.

Forget what?

The Als have  a real problem. What's the point of losing with Glenn? At what point do they cut their losses?

Stamps pick up Paris Cotton.    Good to see him get another opportunity, excellent scat back.

A material pickup which might change the fabric of the team. If Cotton still has the bolls to play, he should be able to weave his way through the opposition.

If he sticks to his knitting, he'll do fine.

Facing a tandem of Messam and Cotton could be frightening, especially if the Stamps O-line can still punch the holes that Cornish used to gallop through.

So basically Jones drafted for the Bombers as well. Love it. 

[bigg jay]

Tennant was cut by Jones but drafted by Taman.

[Atomic]

Big bad Brandon.  Might suit up this week if Thomas can't go

Right....my bad! I'll go back to hiding under a rock.

[Ripper]

He is a big body in the middle. Was on and off roster twice with injuries, shoulder,  isn't overly fast but I definitely would have kept him here longer than we did

Maybe I should be fitted for the tin foil hat since I see this has non zero probability.  I can't see why you would bring this guy back to the league after being out for a couple of years. Maybe he just wants the BB OL to worry about their elbows more than their schemes.  so weird but scary at the same time.

WINNIPEG, MB., September 2, 2016 –   The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the release of International kicker Sergio Castillo. The club has also released International defensive lineman Sam Scott and International receiver Jace Davis from the practice roster.

Wow they were so high on Jace Davis at one point. Sometimes I wonder if our talent evaluation is any good at all. 

[Noeller]

wow...and an outright release of Castillo......man. Hopefully Medlock stays healthy the rest of the way!

Sometimes guys get comfortable and stop producing (Davis), and the guys behind them keep working hard and getting better (Mayo, Sheppard).  Not sure that's an indictment of the talent evaluation.

Andy Mulumba cut by the Chiefs.

The way kicking had been going for other teams earlier in the season I thought for sure we'd be able to get something for him... maybe we waited too long or asked too much?

Davis sure didn't seem to be the type of guy to take plays off. Maybe it was the other way around. The coaches liked his work ethic and intelligence but he may not have been the most skilled guy. Anyway. Still a curious release 

[Mark F]

this am, amongst other things, I was wondering why they were keeping Castillo. BC might try him out. or the Vikings.

[Brandon]

Davis underperformed big time,   I don't see any reason why anyone would be surprised with that move.   Mayo and Sheppard were much better.

I'm sure he'll look for another nfl team but... if not. He'd look great in blue n gold
