Bomber Free Agents

[dd]

Dang, I thought this was going to happen. I said in the summer time that the brothers would like to play on the same team, I just hoped we'd sign the Qb Ford so the DB Ford would stay here!!! Oh well, we'll have to replace him with an IMP DB at corner now so it does take away some of the ratio luxury we had.

Dude, he went to the highest bidder.

I suspect that being on the same team as his brother is what tipped the scales in the Elks favour. Even if the Bombers had matched the offer he likely would have left.

Sure going to miss him though, unless we find someone to take his place that's even better. Hoping that's the case.

Tipped the scales, lol.

He got paid nearly 100k more than the highest paid corner in the league last year. His brother had nothing to do with this.

The QB brother should be hard pressed to be a number two.  The guy can't read.
Lots if coaches have guys li'e that.  They tell their QB that they have the designated receiver.  If he's not open,  run.  Exciting and will make a couple plays. But it's not a long  method for success.

The DB is great.  He will get a lot of playing time.
DBs are a dime a dozen. Should not be a problem.

Keep telling yourself that but you're wrong

Bros before Bombers

Twins and best friends, not all that surprised.  Tyrell mentioned it last year, they've been playing together their entire lives, last few years was the first time they found themselves on different teams.

[Ducky]

Expected this but it still hurts.

Do the Bombers have a coaching staff yet?

[markf]

West division is going to be tough for wins,

Should be a good season.

Looks like TyJuan Garbutt is off to Hamilton.

[Ridermania]

Garbutt to the Cats.

I expected most of our "lost" FA's might be heading Goviea's way... he knows who they are and how much we would offer.

I thought we might bring Garbutt back to compete in TC. That said, we also needed to improve on the DL. I doubt he would have been willing to sit on the PR, so that factored in if he couldn't win a role on the AR.

He might have been able to win a role as a DI to start the season?

[Blue In BC]

Lofton coming back seems like a wise decision. I don't know he will win the starting RT role or keep it during 2025. Until some other OT shows he is a better choice, then he should be pencilled in as the starter.

It's early but we have a significant number of import OL coming for TC. Anything is possible including a change to a 3 import OL. I don't expect that but it's an option.

Hopefully Dobson re-signs a reasonable SMS.
