Doubt he could sort out a passport issue in a week, how long did it take Lawler?

I assume he was aware of this issue when he signed a contract before TC began. So he's had a month or more to resolve his issue. At this point even when he gets it resolved he may still not be added to the AR and ends up on their PR.  He's their # 4 QB.

Rules for coming to CFL aren't relevant to going to UFL. Different criteria.  I wonder if this means he's technically not actually under contract?

Any word on whether Elgersma is being activated this week in Birmingham?

If you are looking to have a more active role with the Blue Bombers you might want to check out the Job Fair on April 11, 2026.  Details can be found here...

OK, the wildcard dream is over, how high up the draft can we climb if we lose out the season?

Jets took the 1st. period off. Oettinger was outstanding, and we had no puck luck.

Never worry about the Bombers, Walters is a stickler at following the rules set out, it's the private owners that always seem to push the limits and create exceptions.

No worries but we hope to see money well spent from limited information.

If the Riders went over by $100K but won the Grey Cup, that might be money well spent. OTOH, if they had gone over and finished last, we might suggest money not well spent.

Obviously I have no idea whether the Riders or any team went over or how much was spent after the end of the season. It's just an example but the accounting regarding end of season versus end of year is the missing ingredient.

Payroll at the end of the season is determined very quickly. Only players making certain target bonus goals might take another week to be calculated. At that point decisions can be made on excess SMS or penalties willing to be absorbed going forward.

I can find out who if you like, but there's zero rhyme or reason ever given.

Teams may have conversations with given players that move them off or onto the neg list. Where a particular player is ranked at a specific position may make him more or less likely to be bumped as new talent is added. It's a type of risk analysis.

I haven't looked at the recent list by usually we have about 10 QB's on the list. There will be an on going evaluation of which we want to sign the most and the chances of that happening at some point.

Having access to the activity now is interesting but doesn't mean much until a player is added to TC roster. Any one could be the next star but TC is the 1st real step. lol
