Our Free Agent's Signings Are in Limbo Until Brady & Dalton Make Their Moves

Boris was born in France, played his football at Laval, but his status in the CFL is American. Love to have his big leg in Winnipeg, but can see him in Hamilton. 

So why is he considered an import?

Bede can boom the ball.

Why we are playing around with Castillo again seems silly.

That's been an ongoing mystery since he first came to the CFL, in the least you would think he could be classified as a global if not a Natl.  Might have to do with originally being declared an Import, and not being able to change status?

Bede started his college career at Tiffin University (Ohio). Because he played American football first he is considered an International or American. Global designation didn't exist when he entered the CFL.

Could be the other way around.  Just sayin'.

If Castillo comes cheaper than Bede, I'm fine with him.  This would make a great negotiating tactic with Castillo... "Bede will take the job for $140, so you need to take $120 'cause your % and KO distance aren't as good."

Man, waiting for the tampering period was a waste of energy for me.

The whole day goes by and not a single rumour about offers on any of our players? Just some kicker drama from out east?

[Stretch]

Speculation is that Bede will sign with Edmonton.

[Horseman]

Walters should pursue Bede much better kicker than Castillo especially on KO.

[theaardvark]

Hodge is saying Houston won't be back... we seem to recruit and develop great DB's and the lose them all to the NFL or FA... 

Hoping that pipe is still full...

[Blue In BC]

Losing Hardrick should save about $75K ( maybe a bit more ) with either Richmond or a rookie on an ELC.

That frees ups some money to re-sign some of our other players?

My thought exactly.  We know tough decisions are made in free agency and this year, with Oliveira and Schoen in the balance, even more so.

There are rumours, repeat rumours, out there that Lucky Whitehead will return to the Bombers.

If Bede is available I wouldn't even bother with csstillo

Yuk! Please no!

He would have to come pretty cheap for that to make any sense.
