Blue Bombers Transactions - August 17 and August 25, 2025

I can't quite remember the Demski signing. I know it was generally expected that he would sign with Winnipeg, but I can't recall if Sask was hoping to re-sign him or not. He certainly did not get much use or experience much success there.

Demski was coming home anyway but Sask. used him as a returner and wide receiver, LaPo saw him as a slotback and planned to bring him inside to make use of his physical talent to enhance the running game. The results have been positive.

Any word on Echols or Swerve practicing, if so, how rusty are they?

I haven't heard anything but it would be unlikely they'd be taking any 1st teams reps in week 1. It's a 2 practice week as well.

It Schoen can play, he'll be added to replace Sterns. The new receivers are more WR's so I'm not sure whether they are being looked to replace Mitchell? I know Mitchell was moved into a SB spot. In theory maybe they are more capable of moving inside.

In any case, Mitchell needs to show something more than in his 3 previous game. 7 receptions for 51 yards is next to useless IMO.
