Bombers Release Chris Kolankowski

Yep, I think Kolankowski just had his second baby too.  Tough job but a good GM exists as a bit of an outsider and never becomes part of the team in spirit, he has to remain neutral to circumstance and see players as no more than assets on a chart. I think that's reason #1 MOS will never become a GM as he loves his players too much, I imagine that was the source of a lot of disagreements with Walters back in the early days.

I saw a quote from OSH after his re-signing where he was asked about his relationship with KW, and he said something along the lines of "we don't scream at each other as much any more."

So, the decision had been made to move on from him.  Walters/MOS aren't ones that move on without a plan in place, though, so I fully expect to see Eli getting the C spot going into camp, it being his to lose. 

We don't tend to buy FA Oline, can't remember ever signing a FA Olineman to start.  We've lost a lot of starting Oline to higher bidders, and while some of those stung a bit, no way we could have matched, we'd have a million dollar Oline now.

Not saying we can't sign a FA OC, just saying anyone worth signing will be expensive, and I'm not sure they are in the budget.

Stan Bryant and worth every penny we've ever paid him. Centre is an important cog on the LO, and I woudn't be adverse to spending $$ to get an above average one

Clearly Kolankowski wasn't getting it done...
