My bet is he'll get here eventually... and he'll be a bust, like over 90% of the QBs that come into the CFL.

totally agree that this is the likely outcome. People gushing about him and saying he'd replace Collaros is just plain crazy talk

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Roster going forward before TC

Last post by Blue In BC - April 08, 2026, 04:21:48 PM

Ok. We currently have 93 players. Bombers have had a few tryout camps recently so we should start seeing some new additions. At the moment I'd guess we're a little light in number of bodies at receiver. Only 15 listed at the moment and we usually bring in 20-24. OTOH we have 22 DB's listed today.

I don't see any unexpected retirements of veterans but there are often a couple of rookies that decide to be no" no shows".

Overall the roster depth looks pretty good. For the most part rookies are fighting for back up spots on either the AR or PR.

Any rumours out there about some new faces?

Hearing one of the Domo station had gas at $1.59 and then 5 cents off if you have a Domo card.

I agree with BG84 on this one.

I don't get the grousing about Elgersma. He was just drafted last year, why give up? Sometimes guys take years to come back. Tyrell Ford was gone a year, Dakoda Shepley was gone 5 years just for examples. He's a 24 year old QB who will be here eventually and everyone will be happy.

Trade value is low?? How about non existent!! This is the guy who's bummed around for 2 years now, going from training camp to training camp, not getting a sniff anywhere, and now has paperwork issues in the USFL?? He's a joke, how can you take him seriously??

LOL. Fair enough, it may be zero. Sometimes a trade is subject to being able to speak with a player before a trade is made. Trades are made for players that were about to become potential free agents.

He's from back east, so maybe he'd be more interested in a 3 year ELC where he'd rather play than in Winnipeg. Maybe an eastern team might have interest. Keep in mind he was drafted in the 2nd round, so there was interest.

None of this is fact just idle contemplation. I think we're all fed up with him not reporting to Winnipeg. Perhaps the team has spoken to him and has a clearer picture of what his plans will be.

I felt it was a wasted pick when we drafted him. At this point if there was some interest in a trade, maybe we get a 3rd round pick? Who knows. Hamilton are you listening?

It depends what you mean by valid. It has not been registered by the league, so technically there is no contract.

Contract requires: Intent, offer, acceptance, consideration and legal capacity.

What you pointed out is also a possible valid reason. However that's an internal issue to the UFL and not necessarily a legal aspect in the courts.

If he paid been paid a small signing bonus ( consideration ) then it could be argued the contract is legal. The work visa may not be part of the legal aspect of the contract, regardless of the delay which is a court issue rather than a contract issue per se.

I don't know he was paid anything to sign a contract but all the other aspects are correct.
