Last post by Blue In BC - May 03, 2026, 01:11:29 PMQuote from: Tecno on May 03, 2026, 04:44:34 AMWell, then take more of your "cost" tack justifying (or not) the reserve vs AR expansion. How about away games? AR guys would fly out and need a hotel room. Reserve guys...? Will the reserve fly out? I would assume if no one is GTD then the answer is "no"?
So there's one other reason the league would allow +2 reserve instead of +2 AR.
(And I'm just playing devil's advocate and trying to figure it out too. I'm with many here that +2 AR would be nothing but a good thing for us fans.)
I think it's safe to say some players are nicked every week after the 1st game. Whether they can play is always a TBD. We saw that last year.
So yes I think the reserve list travels with the team. It does add some additional cost but doesn't the team charter a plane? Players probably double up in hotels I'd guess.
The other question I posed was do the 2 reserve players get changed game to game to adjust for those that might need to a GTD? If so where do those moved from the reserve go?

Last post by gobombersgo - May 03, 2026, 12:49:24 PMWinnipeg Blue Bombers sign three American edge rushers
by 3Down Staff May 2, 2026
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed three American defensive linemen, including Eric Black, Antoineo Harris, and David Reese.
Black has had CFL stints with the Edmonton Elks, Saskatchewan Roughriders, and Ottawa Redblacks since 2024. The six-foot-four, 247-pound defender dressed for two regular-season games, both with the Elks, and recorded four defensive tackles and two special teams tackles.
The native of Rochester, N.Y. played collegiately at the University at Buffalo and Stony Brook University.
Harris finished his collegiate career at the University of Connecticut in 2025, recording 30 total tackles, three tackles for loss, and two sacks over 13 games.
The six-foot-three, 253-pound native of Chicago, Ill. played at New Mexico in 2024, where he made 29 total tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, and 0.5 sacks over 10 games. He previously played at Iowa Central Community College and Indiana State.
Reese finished his collegiate career at Syracuse University in 2025, where he made 27 total tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, three pass knockdowns, and two fumble recoveries over 12 games.
The six-foot-two, 250-pound native of Fort Pierce, Fla. spent the 2023 and 2024 seasons at California, recording 58 total tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, 11 sacks, five forced fumbles, and five pass knockdowns.
These moves came one day after Winnipeg moved defensive end Matt Jaworski to the retired list. The six-foot-five, 260-pound defender played one regular-season game in 2025, recording one defensive tackle and one sack.
The Blue Bombers have also released American linebacker Brandon Bouyer-Randle. The 29-year-old native of Battle Creek, Mich. has never dressed for a regular-season CFL game.

Last post by gobombersgo - May 03, 2026, 12:40:36 PMWinnipeg Blue Bombers move Matt Jaworski to retired list, sign two
by 3Down Staff May 1, 2026
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have moved American defensive lineman Matt Jaworski to the retired list.
The six-foot-five, 260-pound defender signed with the team last October, initially joining the practice roster. He dressed for one regular-season game, recording one defensive tackle and one sack.
The 23-year-old was a four-year collegiate standout at Fordham University, an FCS program located in New York City. He made 167 total tackles, 42.5 tackles for loss, 19.5 sacks, eight pass knockdowns, six forced fumbles, and two blocked kicks over 41 collegiate games.
The native of Buffalo, N.Y. earned a second-team All-FCS selection and was named the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year.
Jaworski's father, Matt, played two regular-season games for the Sacramento Gold Miners in 1994.
The Blue Bombers have also signed American running back OJ Arnold and American receiver Jayden Harrison.
Arnold played four collegiate seasons at Georgia Southern, rushing for 2,016 yards and 14 touchdowns. He also made 66 receptions for 539 yards and four scores, earning a second-team All-Sun Belt selection in 2025.
Harrison finished his collegiate career at Notre Dame, where he made 19 catches for 211 yards and one touchdown in 2024.
The five-foot-ten, 198-pound target spent three seasons at Marshall, where he was named a first-team All-American in 2023 for returning 23 kicks for 705 yards and two touchdowns. He spent three seasons on campus, catching 63 passes for 759 yards and four scores.
The native of Pontiac, Mich. started his collegiate career at Vanderbilt, where he made eight receptions for 20 yards.

Last post by gobombersgo - May 03, 2026, 12:32:48 PMWinnipeg Blue Bombers sign four CFL Draft picks, plus undrafted free agent Carter Hooper
by 3Down Staff April 30, 2026
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed four members of their 2026 CFL Draft class, plus an undrafted free agent, ahead of the opening of training camp.
Tight end Dante Daniels, receiver Joshua Jack, linebackers Charles-Elliot Bouliane and Brody Clark, and defensive lineman Carter Hooper have all inked rookie deals with the team.
Daniels was selected with the 10th overall pick at the top of the second round after the team traded up to get him, sacrificing a second-round selection in 2027. The six-foot-six, 271-pound target caught 10 passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns over two seasons at NC State University, serving primarily as a blocker. The Windsor, Ont., native previously attended Butler Community College, becoming a sought-after transfer recruit.
Bouliane was taken with the 24th overall pick in the third round. The five-foot-11, 229-pound linebacker was a two-time RSEQ all-star at the Université de Montréal and was named an All-Canadian on special teams in 2023. Over 39 career games with the Carabins, he made 122 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, seven sacks, one forced fumble, three pass deflections, and one interception.
Clark was selected with the 42nd overall pick in the fifth round. The Delta, B.C., native appeared in 11 games over two seasons at York University and was named a second-team OUA all-star in 2024, amassing 88 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, two forced fumbles, three pass breakups, an interception, and a blocked kick. The six-foot, 217-pounder previously played for the Langley Rams in the Canadian Junior Football League.
Jack went with the 60th overall pick in the seventh round. The six-foot, 200-pound target from Saint Mary's University caught 47 passes for 768 yards and three touchdowns in 23 career games. The native of Brampton, Ont., also rushed for one score and returned a kickoff for another major.
Hooper went unselected in the 2026 CFL Draft, despite a respectable college resume. The six-foot-five, 265-pound defensive end spent his first three seasons at the University of Connecticut, before transferring to the University of South Dakota for two years. In 54 games between the two programs, the Burlington, Ont., native made 69 total tackles, five tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and three batted passes.
Winnipeg has also placed a pair of Americans, running back J.J. Taylor and offensive lineman Ben Dooley, on the retired list. Neither player has previously played in a CFL game.
