DB Houston to the Stampeders: https://www.cfl.ca/2024/02/06/report-demerio-houston-headed-to-calgary/

This one stings.

Dunk just said on OB that losing Houston and Hardrick means we may have Schoen money.  I agree...move around a couple of pieces, and we may.  I have hope. He likes it here enough..little discount..and he stays.

How many players recruited/developed by the Bombers end up with tweets stating that "contract worth XXX making him one of the highest paid XXXXX in the CFL"

I guess that makes recruiting a little easier... "Hey, come here and in 2 years, YOU can be a star"

sucks because we only got one full year with him but if there's one position KW is good at unearthing talent, it's DB.

Schoen money is huge, we didn't save money on Houston, and any we saved on Hardrick we already spent on Brady...

Not sure where Dunk bought his calculator, we still have a lot of FA to sign, even with a few bigger ones off the board.

Well, that certainly didn't age well.  How the heck did Walters pull this one off?

Schoen took a hell of deal to stay.

Hard pass on AC "Scared to Pee" Leonard.

Don't like the guy, and would probably cost more than Jeffcoat, but he is the closest thing to a Willie clone in the CFL.

Meh. I'm okay with Haba or someone else on the other bookend should Jeffcoat sign elsewhere. Leonard doesn't seem like a fit in this organization, IMO.

Same thing may have been said about Willie many years ago, it takes some time for the Rider stink to wear off.

I am very okay going into this season with Haba and a few rookies (and maybe a cheap vet). All Haba did was make plays. Get an impactful DT and the DL is set.

Jefferson is all of a year older than Leonard, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

To reiterate: hard pass on Leonard.

Was hoping we could keep Houston, but you can't keep everyone.

2 years/$275K nice deal for Houston.

true but this scouting staff has proven they can find DB talent year in and year out. This will need to continue.

Myself, I am going to enjoy Chad Kelly's humbling season.

He'll just blame his teammates. Oh, I see what you did there. Very good.

do you get the feeling that the other western teams are following the bomber blue print?

yep, every western team has improved their running game by adding a more physical running back.
