There a few players I will be watching closely at TC. Poncius 6'8" 320 (A) OL and Uwubanmwen 6'4" 300 (N) OL. Vibert  6'3" 313 (N) has a year under his belt.

Hodges 6'2" 240 (A) MLB. Banks 6'4" 220 (A) WR.

We don't need another high priced injury prone reciever, Schoen is enough to dea1 with and I doubt he comes back. If we sign a WR, he'd better be 100% heathy, sorry, not interested in Mack even at a reduced rate, as his hamstring is going to go again.

Hasn't been healthy the past couple years is the main thing.

I guess it depends on where he's at.

Just caught on TSN page that Austin Mack and the Als are
mutually parting
Only 28 with decent numbers when he plays

His hamstring injury is sti11 1ingering?? otherwise when he p1ays hes an impact receiver

If CFL rosters were bigger I'd be okay with this. They're not. Especially for American players. Not only is he a year older and slower he's taking up the spot of someone who could be growing into the next Stanley Bryant which is the biggest problem.

I love Stan, but man, Collaros is going to spend another year getting destroyed.

Yes, Stan got beat a number of times last year. And, I agree he a year old and probably a little slower. So I am expecting him to get beat a number of time again this year. But, I also agree with DD that we haven't developed anyone to take his place.

There is no one on our roster who is better than Bryant, so we'd have to go Free agent route, which Wa1ters doesn't think there's a better one out there for the $$ we offered Stan1ey. If and when we decide to rep1ace him, we'11 have to sign a FA to do so just 1ike we did with Stan1ey. I m tota11y good with us re-signing him, age and a11

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Off season bonus money

Last post by Blue In BC - January 26, 2026, 10:28:44 PM

WOW. Lots of players getting released due to this aspect. Considering the increased SMS this seems odd.

I'm waiting to see what happens with Ford in Edmonton.

I wouldn't rule out interest from the Bombers. There isn't any guarantee we can upgrade receiver during free agency. So this is an early choice. Wheatfall and Sterns haven't been re-signed yet so I have no idea what the plan is yet.

Stanley Bryant is 39, both Vanterpool and Randolph are 27, is one more year of Stan worth losing either?  I think not, treat them well and they could be starters for another 4-5 years with salaries well below $200k.

Vanterpool has only played 6 games. If he was the future at LT then I don't think they would have signed Bryant. Vanterpool might not accept a bump back to the PR so it's possible he doesn't survive TC.

Randolph played fairly well but I don't think he's a lock depending on who is available at free agency.

He has 1 less option now and some teams don't need receiver help. I'm not sure which teams might be interested. The large amount of up front money is probably off the table for every team.

agree, I did my normal edits and talked about the same LOL

yeah too much cake, I would go at 175 but who wouldn't LOL

that's a big bonus, I take the damaged goods comment back, just injury history and high price tag, we have found out who that goes

The 28-year-old was scheduled to receive $45,000 on February 1, the first part of a contract worth $211,000 in hard money for 2026. While general manager Danny Maciocia indicated earlier this month that the Alouettes could find a way to fit that deal under the salary cap if they so chose, he ultimately made the decision to part ways with Mack.
