Vibert might push Eli at TC. Vibert 6'3" 313, Eli 6'3" 287. He has 25 pounds on Eli. And then there's Uwuban who is 6'4" 300. First CFL TC but apparently plays a little nasty.   

None of the OL we have signed have played C. And Vibert has incredibly little playing experience.

It seems like it's Eli's spot to lose right now.

agree 100%.  MBT is the best option out there.  he can win you a game or two

I'm not sure that's true anymore.

Edmonton Elks sign Woodmansey, highest paid OL in the CFL.

Isn't Woodmansey the C in HAM that was snapping over the head of BLM all the time?  The Huddle show seemed to indicated so.  So that means he'll maybe be changed to OG?  Unless Cody wants balls thrown 30Y behind him?

Seems like a weird guy to make "highest paid".  EDM in desperation mode?  Plus, since Woodmansey was still on the shelf, wouldn't his ask have to come down a bit?  I guess the only guys left now are guys who are sticking to their "ask the world" guns, and guys who will have to take lowballs.  Well, and guys who will retire out.

If MBT was capable of being a QB1 in the CFL, he'd be that by now.

I'd be fine with him here, but I'd rather look at the new recruits, and hope one of them is better than MBT, or even better than Zach...

It comes down to trust in the player, the occassional rep. doesn't usually turn a game and the more reps. a young player gets the more comfortable they become.

CFL Negotiation List Updates
@cfl_neg_list
Winnipeg Blue Bombers negotiation list update:
➕ Added QB Blaha, Kaleb (Wisconsin - River Falls)
❌ Removed WR Wells Jr, Antwane (Mississippi)

Looks like Wells got a cup of coffee with the Giants, and now has settled into the UFL...

Don't support your Yoshi lovefest, Bombers dumped him at the right time IMO, he became a liability in pass protection and he's had 1 good (costly) season since he left.  His popularity keeps him riding high though.

Uh, he won best OL in '25 and is basically universally recognized as the best RT right now.  (Well, maybe Broxton in '26 will have something to say about that...)

In my rewatch of the GC I noticed a few times Yoshi would, on a pass play, block a DE then push off to block a delayed DT coming in the B.  This is the type of DL stunt that would regularly blow up our OL.  No way Lofton or Rand was doing more than blocking just one dude, and they rarely picked up the stunts properly.

No money.  Unless he sits and sits and sits and accepts Strev money, which is doubtful.

On the bright side, we'll finally get an answer regarding Wilson#3!!

I think we'll have to wing it & pray, or find the couch-sitter if/when we need an IR-replacement QB, or make a big trade in-season for one (Powell please!).
