Last post by Tecno - Today at 07:04:02 AMQuote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on January 28, 2026, 04:55:39 PMWhat he is suggesting breaks the rules, can't put an uninjured player on the 6 game to coach or to hide.
I never said to do that. I said take a guy starting the season injured, legit injured, like Schoen, and put him on 6GIR as long as it takes. At the very end when you're in the "is he ready?" territory, that's when you can start toying with the "rules" a bit.
Because when is a knee injury "ready"? You could easily argue Schoen wasn't ready when he played last season. We could have easily 6G'd him until the playoffs, or beyond. See: TOR's Kelly.
If he's somehow helping out in the film room or with the clipboard during all this, great. See: Biggie.
Doing all of this is fully within the letter of the rules, as well as the spirit.
As for money (BinBC): stop thinking real money. Who cares, it means nothing. GM's are only thinking in terms of SMS. And you can structure these things to have near-zero hit to SMS.

Indeed. Rewatch and you'll see he almost knocked it down, missing by about a finger length. He had the correct coverage and decent positioning. Not much else he could have done other than completely ignore the outside route option and run the inside route for him.
Quote from: markf on February 02, 2026, 10:38:17 PMHow the heck did we lose that game.
MTL beating us that GC was like SSK beating BC in the '25 WDF. Just let them make too many plays in the final drive and give up the TD. If Willie hadn't slipped, or someone else had contain on 2nd & 17... or Parker isn't completely confused on 3rd & 3...
PTSD man.

Sheesh, tough customer! I care. I've always disliked how the CFL handles longer-term injuries. The dude also always came across as a nice guy who really wanted to be here. Hard not to empathize.

Last post by Tecno - Today at 06:45:37 AMQuote from: kkc60 on February 02, 2026, 08:07:12 PMIf Brady needs Bryant and Neufeld in order to return, why did he sign a 3 year deal?
Because they all want it for one more year. After that it's who-knows and open-season. Maybe Brady makes the same pitch for the musketeers in '27... who knows. Maybe he (and everyone else) see 1, 2 or 3 fall off a cliff and let them go quietly into that good night.
Regardless of what those other guys do, Brady will be here longer term, because he's the youngest.

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Tre Ford
Last post by Tecno - Today at 06:32:11 AMMakes sense. I don't know why the cfl.ca article didn't guess this one. They get a decent SY guy who can also do some tricks, and a has-a-hope backup for BLM. Plus, if Milanovich is a "QB Whisperer", all the better for Tre.
The fact they came to a deal so early, though, makes me think HAM overpaid. BUT, with BLM still being "affordable" (relatively), they could afford it.

WINNIPEG, MB., FebruarDorian Sy 2, 2026 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed American wide receiver Dorian Singer, American running back J.J Taylor, and American linebacker Micah Cretsinger.
Singer (6-0, 191, Utah; born: October 16, 2002, in Saint Paul, MN.) joins the Bombers after time in the NFL and a four-year collegiate career with Utah (2024), USC (2023), and Arizona (2021-2022).
In 2025, Singer signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent, attending rookie minicamp and training camp. He appeared in all three preseason games, recording seven receptions for 59 yards, and was later signed to the Jaguars' practice squad before being waived shortly after.
Singer completed his collegiate career at Utah, starting all 12 games and recording 53 receptions for 702 yards and one touchdown. Prior to Utah, he played at USC, where he totaled 24 receptions for 289 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games (10 starts).
In his breakout season at Arizona in 2022, Singer emerged as one of the Pac-12's top receivers, leading the conference with 1,105 receiving yards on 66 receptions while adding six touchdowns and starting 11 of 12 games.
Taylor (5-6, 185, Arizona; born: January 4, 1998, in Corona, CA.) joins the Bombers after six seasons in the NFL (2020-2025), and a four-year collegiate career with Arizona (2016-2019).
In 2020, Taylor signed with the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent, making the practice squad out of training camp. He was promoted to the active roster and made his professional debut in a Week 1 win versus the Miami Dolphins. Across six seasons with New England (2020-2023) and Houston (2024-2025), he has appeared in 17 games, totaling 62 rushing attempts for 200 yards and two touchdowns, along with eight receptions for 20 yards.
Collegiately, Taylor appeared in 49 games and recorded 3,263 rushing yards on 587 carries for 18 rushing touchdowns. He also contributed as a receiver with 62 catches for 487 yards and two receiving touchdowns, finishing his collegiate career with 3,750 all-purpose yards. Taylor's best season came in 2018 when he recorded 1,434 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns.
Cretsinger (6-0, 238, Saginaw Valley State; born: July 11, 2001, in Jackson, MI.) signs with the Bombers after signing in the NFL and CFL (2025), and a four-year collegiate career with Saginaw Valley State (2021-2024).
Cretsinger signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent and participated in rookie minicamp before being waived. He later signed with the Ottawa Redblacks during 2025 training camp and was released at final roster cuts.
During his collegiate career at Saginaw Valley State, Cretsinger appeared in 44 games and recorded 271 total tackles (147 solo, 124 assists), 32.5 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks. He added 10 interceptions, 10 pass breakups, seven forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries, scoring five defensive touchdowns. Cretsinger earned four All-GLIAC selections, multiple All-American honours, and was a finalist for the 2024 Cliff Harris Award, presented to the nation's top small-college defensive player.

Last post by Tecno - Today at 03:46:47 AMQuote from: theaardvark on Today at 03:35:48 AMPokey White Demski Neild is a great core corps, if Wheatfall stays, he's fine. Otherwise, we will see a rookie earn his bones.
So which REC gets announced last @PAS? Who is the "star"?
Both Demski & White earning about the same? Will White "accept" not getting top billing?

Last post by Tecno - Today at 03:43:03 AMI guess this would be a great place to discuss the SMS thoughts and how I don't see how we are fitting all of these new splash FAs under the cap.
We still have to fill out the rest of the roster. Does this mean any remaining middling or $25k-over-ELC guys are all going to be passed over in favor of a ton of ELC's?
Or did we have/spend way more '25 SMS before Dec 31 than anyone thought, leaving tons of room in the '26 SMS?
Or are we finally taking the BC approach to going over cap and using more MMM?
