Quote from: Jesse on Today at 03:09:02 PMI'm totally fine with letting training camp determine the remaining positions, but I guess we still technically need a starting WR, DE, and CB.

I don't think there's a back up QB out there that makes sense.

They may high hopes for Jenkins and Munier-Bailey as the DE candidates. There will be rookies fighting for that spot as well.

I wouldn't rule out Wheatfall returning after testing free agency. Whether that was his choice or ours IDK. There are probably some talented players left but can we afford them?

What's happening with the other CB spot is the most strange IMO. We could have re-signed Houston and we could still re-sign Lawson but haven't done so. Some suggested Allen might move to CB from safety but then we have an opening at safety.

The organization might be very confidant in some rookies coming to TC.

Last but not least is there is still an opportunity to pick up a player during the open window.

Is he here rehabbing?  Under the CBA, are the Bombers on the hook for the rehab costs?  Is it a year they have to extend his medical care for?  Not living expenses, but medical?

Does he have a side gig?

The FA period has not even opened yet.

The "100 players" left out there might not even be on anyones' radar of yet, the big names have pretty much been picked off.

I don't think there is a depth spot we need to fill from the dregs and scrapheaps of what is remaining in the FA pool, I think we have enough coming into camp to address every roster spot, and have a full PR while letting go of a handful of players that will get immediate offers elsewhere.

Yeah, very optimistic about this roster, Walters has shown us a new side to his ability. How to fill out a roster where price is not the only object.

Well done shifting gears.

Quote from: Blueforlife on Today at 02:07:57 PMI would welcome him back next year if he shows he can recover and play somewhere else this year.


That said in a pinch and at the right price, he is an option for this year but I think risk / reward isn't there (yet).

I'm sure we'll be watching and waiting to see how his re-hab goes. Team doctors may have more insight to what the probabilities will look like. Hindsight is always 100% but we may have rushed him back last year resulting in re-injury.

The status quo wasn't going to cut it and Walters and co. have clearly realized it with the moves made yesterday.

It's a little disappointing this approach wasn't taken a year ago but it is what it is. Maybe some redemption is in order.

Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on Today at 02:19:01 AMI wonder if Randolph has the edge as he played last season while Vanterpool was mostly parked.

I expect they discussed Stan's role with him before he signed, whether he moves to RT, comes in as 6th man or whatever he probably approved the role they will assign to him.  One thing for sure, they're not throwing him out the back door with the trash.

Having him as a 6 OL and DI shouldn't be in the cards. That's even more true if we convert to a 3 man OL. Yes they may have spoken with him prior to being re-signed. We haven't heard the deals of the contract so it's just a question.

I think Randolph is ahead of Vanterpool but I wouldn't rule out Bryant ahead of both.

We have choices which is not the worst situation to have.
