Blue Bombers Transactions - October 28, 2025

WINNIPEG, MB., October 28, 2025 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the following transactions:

Added to practice roster:
National receiver AK Gassama

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Bad sign.

[gobombersgo]

They needed an extra receiver to help in practice to not over work the other guys.

They only practice twice!

The over work line is what MOS said on the coaches show but I call bs. He said that right after saying Strev might not be done this year, don't count him out. To me he is here because Demski can't go. He knows the offense not sure about his game shape though. One more injury and he could play next week should we advance.

Sure hope they don't waste a roster spot on Gassama on gameday, Corcoran can back up the receivers and if there are 2 injuries insert Peterson in Demski's spot.  May be a good idea to transition him to that spot anyway like they did Flanders, if Brady is here for the long haul he'll never get to play.

That's BS. They could use Echols, Mitchell and Logan during practice whether they intend to play any of them or not.

They could even use Chris-Ike. It's 1 practice and a walk through.

I don't see Gassama on the game day roster.

I REALLY like the idea of putting Peterson in Demski's position if Demski can't go. Peterson is a playmaker, put the ball in his hands and he'll make a play, that's the guy we need in there. Is he a pure reciever, no, but he's a playmaker. If I recall correctly, Demski was a RB in his high school or university days and converted to SB, do the same thing with Peterson vs letting him rot on the bench watching guys maybe catch a ball and gain 1-2 yards after catch.

Not enough time to transition him this week but should be considered over the off-season if he's still under contract. Don't think he'll stick around like Johnny A. did patiently waiting for the chance that never comes.  Demski likely plays at least 2 more years, so he won't be retiring anytime soon.

While that's possibly true, adding Gassama at this point in time is not an effective choice either. Either Cobb or Corcoran gives us a starter and depth in the same way as last week. Not as good as Demski but it's the reality if it comes down him not playing.

I'm not opposed to Peterson being the next option up behind those two receivers. Even Chris-Ike as the 3rd choice if injuries hit.

Agreed. They'd better make him a much bigger piece of the offensive puzzle, as he's shown he's more than capable of producing and if ND10 is gone in 2 years, there should be no problem transitioning him to that roll and maintain our quality NAT talent.

Hard pass to have an RB at receiver.  Emergency replacement yes.

If he has receiver potential why not? He's behind Brady in the RB competition in, at least, the near future. He has enough talent to interest any team and someone will surely sign him when his next contract is due. And I doubt he will want to be a back up here for the next several years.

Because he is a running back and there are likely many other options at receiver that are better than him.  I have seen the idea of fans proposals to change players positions in the past and I usually don't think they are good ideas.  My point is why try to change a players position when they already very good at what they do.  Success at RB doesn't mean he would be successful at receiver.  A very rare combination of skills allows for that.

I would try to retain him at RB.  I see us running Canadian RBs for as long as we can.  A pillar of strength for us to allow for ratio flexibility.

Nick demski was a running back converted to a receiver, how did that work out??

either we find a spot for him or another team will. He's miles better than augustine and everyone knows that

[Pete]

Id like to see Petersen or Ike added into tightend sets. Gives us some added blocking and options
