Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: C. Streveler
Last post by theaardvark - Today at 03:49:34 PMLast year, we had Paterson in for a look. The depth of QB's that have had a cup of coffee in the CFL who have shown a tiny bit of talent is huge, and pinning hopes going forward on any of the "never made its" seems counterproductive.
Sure, the reference to The all time #1 QB being one of those that took time to break onto the scene rears its ugly head every time we discuss an MBT or a Dru Brown, but all seriousness aside, how many times more QB's come in an light it up day one? It's a far, far greater number.
So, hanging onto someone or signing a guy that had some flashes hoping he's the next "long maturing AC" rather than bringing in a cattle call of fresh arms and letting them loose on the 3 down game seems a fool's errand.
We have a plethora of QBs on our neg list for a reason. And its been a minute since we gave a Vet CFL retread backup any time behind C.

If we go 3 NAT Rec, we can go 3 IMP Oline... "Bucky" is 6'3, 300lbs.
Love to have Eli as sixth man / jumbo / TE. He is, after all, 100% on targets with a TD on every catch.

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

Last post by ModAdmin - Today at 03:30:29 PMBlue Bombers Add Receiver and Defensive Back
WINNIPEG, MB., February 13, 2026 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed American defensive back Robert Javier and American wide receiver Jamoi Mayes.
Javier (6-1, 195, Towson; born: May 26, 2000, in Bronx, NY.) signs with the Bombers after time in the CFL and NFL, and a five-year collegiate career at Towson University.
After his release from the NFL in September 2024, Javier signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, spending the remainder of the season on the practice roster. He later signed a futures contract but was released at final roster cuts ahead of the 2025 CFL season.
Javier originally signed with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent, attending training camp and appearing in all three preseason games, where he recorded one tackle.
Collegiately, he spent five seasons at Towson (2018–23), appearing in 36 games. He earned back-to-back All-Conference honours in 2022 and 2023, becoming Towson's first All-CAA cornerback since 2014. He finished his career with 77 tackles, one tackle for loss, and six interceptions, including two returned for touchdowns. Over his final two seasons, he broke up 26 passes in 21 games and ranked seventh in the FCS in passes defended per game in 2022. As a senior, he ranked second in the conference in interceptions (4) and pass breakups (
.
Mayes (5-10, 206, Cincinnati; born: August 23, 2002, in Griffin, GA.) signs with the Bombers after time in the NFL, and a five-year collegiate career with Cincinnati (2024), and Chattanooga (2020-2023).
In 2025, Mayes signed with the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted free agent and competed in training camp. He appeared in all three preseason games, recording one reception for 48 yards on five targets.
Mayes transferred to Cincinnati for the 2024 season and recorded 29 receptions for 349 yards and one touchdown in 12 games (11 starts). He also contributed on special teams, returning four punts for 22 yards.
Prior to Cincinnati, Mayes began his collegiate career at Chattanooga, catching 123 passes for 1,963 yards and nine touchdowns across 38 games (26 starts). During his breakout campaign in 2023 he posted 62 receptions for 1,037 yards and four touchdowns, including a career-long 70-yard reception. His 2023 receiving total ranked fourth in school history and earned him first-team All-SoCon honours.

Last post by Jesse - Today at 10:43:47 AMQuote from: Pigskin on February 12, 2026, 07:31:46 PMVibert 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.

Last post by Tecno - Today at 05:41:16 AMQuote from: Ridermania on February 11, 2026, 08:46:58 PMEdmonton 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.
