ontaria wilson released

The Zipp · August 23, 2025, 08:48:50 PM

let the speculation begin...dude could be in Winnipeg by Tuesday and play this weekend in Sask.

i am sure his agent is still hoping for an NFL shot but teams have their own "Wilson's" to deal with.

He was given no opportunity in the final preseason game and released immediately, prior to Tuesdays deadline.

I think he and his agent should realize he's not on anyone's radar and be here before our next practice.

Already our property for the remainder of this year. Would be ok with an extension though.

Didn't remember that, thanks!

2nd year of entry level deal?

If we add Wilson and Shoen all of a sudden the Bombers have a very formidable receiving core.I would imagine Mitchell will be the odd man out.

Good news for the Bombers. I can't see Wilson trying to catch on elsewhere in the NFL. Each team has their own roster to fill out their PR.

Yes, he could be back during the 10 days we have off and play immediately. He'll be in game shape.

Great news! Might be back for the BB, from his background can't see him hanging around waiting for another NFL shot, he needs to work to eat.

Yes but it's not uncommon to extend a player returning from the NFL on his NFL option window. I don't know where I'd draw the line for an increase but it could be incentive laden.

I was surprised that he was signed by Jets, Hès a very good receiver, but wasn't in the top 5 receiver in the cfl. Give him some more experience though and who knows

Come on down Pokey

i am still thinking there was a "favor" based on his college or something as you are right he was very good but maybe not NFL very good.

Would we have cap space for him? Guess because partial year likely a minor concern.

you make room if you don't have it - not even a discussion or concern
