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

[Stats Junkie]

So why is he considered an import?

Bede can boom the ball.

Why we are playing around with Castillo again seems silly. 

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."

[Jesse]

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...

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.

We don't need him, unless Grant walks.  Then Lucky would be our full-time returner again.  However, he's lost a lot of speed over the last few seasons.

We don't need him at receiver.  He has no hands and we don't have a role for his style of play.

Lucky will be pretty cheap no matter where he signs.  He's not terribly useful anymore.  BC should keep him just for the fan PR.

Maybe as a more expensive gadget replacement for McCrae, but as a returner he wouldn't last 4 games before sustaining injury.
