2026 Winnipeg Blue Bomber Salaries

[peg_city]

So, with limited $ available, is there any free agents we should pursue?
recievers :Bridges, Addison, may be available at a discount
  Db - I dont see any decent choices
  Dt - maybe Cox
  Oline Mckellar, McEwan (not sure if hes healthy)

At this point I'm thinking that we are only looking for a WR to play in Wheatfall's/Lawler's spot.

Seems like an important position.

GM's are perfectly synchronized, they all blew their wads in the first couple of days and no signings since, if I was an unsigned player I'd be feeling pretty nervous about extending my football career.

[TBURGESS]

I already have, just read the other comments in the string by other posters.

That's not proof. That's conjecture that you're calling proof.

Money aside: Nothing is preventing teams from adding players in the tampering window. In that sense nothing changes when we get to actual free agency.

The list of choices is significantly smaller and most of the top players have agreed to deals with new teams.

None of the teams have been making big moves after the 1st couple of days. I don't expect a lot of new movement or big spending on the 10th.

Occums razor. Now you're just becoming a troll disagreeing with what many posters are saying.

Dom Rhymes still available, can't see the Stamps letting him slip away as he has a great connection with VA,  but hard to understand the delay in re-signing him.

On further review Rhymes may have become an unnecessary expense.

Under contract:
Begelton
Pilpot
Eric Brooks
Clark Barnes
Tevin Jones
Plus the tall moose guy, first round draft pick Damien Alford currently dipping his toes in NFL waters.

There are a few good players left but as you mentioned it's odd they haven't re-signed or decided to move elsewhere.

Occam's razor does not guarantee truth.  It is not a law of logic or fact; it suggests the simplest explanation—requiring the fewest assumptions—is usually the best starting point for investigation.

If you use "possibly," then Occam's razor is enough. When you say something happened, the level of proof goes up to absolute.

No but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand the probabilities of how the CFL works. Your silly use of meme's is childish but continue as you like.

Somewhere in this string or others on the forum it was even mentioned that was exactly what O'Shea said was done. Of course it's possible he's lying through his teeth since nothing is ever 100% certain.  None of us needs it to be 100% certain except you needing validation.

Are we having fun yet?

Let's get back to the topic.  Thanks.

Rhymes would be a great addition to the BB receiving corps.

Cheap Rhymes, yes.  Gino-level $ Rhymes, no thanks!  I would take him at $135k, but he has to earn his spot in TC.  Maybe a rookie is the next big thing...

[Tecno]

When do we see the results of the 2025 SMS and whether anyone went over?

I think usually in April they are announced?  When's the draft?  Wouldn't the result have to be announced pre-draft so any draft penalties are applied, as they were to BC last season?

I really wish they were announced earlier, but for some reason CFL likes to keep info as secretive as possible, as long as possible.  In theory it's all submitted to the CFL and in a spreadsheet by end of Jan.

I think the only team that might be over by more than $100k is BC, but probably not even them.  I bet SSK, BC, MTL are all minorly over.  Probably us too, as that seems to be our trend the last few years.
