Blue Bombers Transactions - August 17 and August 25, 2025

[The Zipp]

I guess if we find out Sterns has a broken collar bone it will be clear why this move was made.

That's what it looked like.

Since Mitchell is more of WR and Demski is also possibly hurt, we need some slotbacks.

Moore seems like a Sterns replacement, but hasn't played in nearly 2 years.

I'm afraid for Tuesday's injury report to come.

Cross fingers and toes everyone

Doesn't hurt to bring in a couple of experience CFL receivers. Does one of them start this weekend, probably not.

I'm hoping we are worrying for nothing and these are depth signings and have nothing to do with Sterns, Schoen or Wilson. I guess we shall find out tomorrow.....

We struggled in the middle part of the season so far because of injuries to various position groups.

The hope was that we were trending up and could look  forward to additions form Schoen and Wilson and get back up to our usual standard. If that hope has been crushed by the decimation of another positional group then yes, it's gonna hurt.

[Waffler]

Signing 2...  Does this mean Pokey told them he wants to wait?

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

If Sterns had a broken collar bone I don't think he'd be sitting on the sidelines after he was injured, he'd disappear.  Suspect it's something less but think he'll end up on the 6 game anyway, thus the replacements.  Good chance Mitchell is on his final countdown as well, maybe has one game left to show he belongs.

[Pigskin]

It could be a broke clavicle. However, I would think they would have put him in a clavicle brace, or at least a sling to support the weigh of his arm, before letting him return to the bench.   

[BomberFan73]

It's better than Gavin Cobb and Max McLeod.

Is it really?

[Blueforlife]

Is it really?

We don't know the answer to that question until we see any of the 4 in the lineup for a few weeks to make any concrete conclusions.  Reports from practice on Cobb and McLeod would help, I don't remember any on either.  Maybe folks will chime in over the next little while to see how the battles are going and who gets 1st teams reps.

The nice thing is we got a good mix of prospects and CFL experience guys with different skill sets we can plug and play as needed.

I am excited to see Cobb at some point, I was happy we signed him as he shows flashes but more versitle specialty type talent, where our new signing could be decent every down guys (after a week or two imo).  It will take a few weeks for our new faces to get up to game speed and learn the playbook, one advantage that McLeod and Cobb have.  All depends who is out and for how long.  Hopefully we made a couple good choices here.

Cautiously optimistic but losing Sterns or Demski even medium term is a difficult pill to swallow.

Your relentless optimism is commendable...reminds me of "chemical Ali" during the Iraq war

No ice. Any shoulder issue would have had ice. No ice, no shoulder issue.
