Blue Bombers Transactions - January 15, 2026

Tough business. Never seemed healthy last year at any point.

Forgot about him. Too bad it didn't work out. Could be the end.

DM83 · January 16, 2026, 06:10:23 PM

He must have been decent. Didn't show much in Winnipeg.

BLUEBOMBER · January 17, 2026, 06:14:48 AM

I was curious why we signed him in the first place. He didn't show much in the other cities he played in.

He only ever played for Calgary, and was a good returner there. There were a few signings that made no sense last offseason, this one actually did. Our return game was embarrassing two seasons ago, Logan was brought in to fix it.

Argos signed him today.

So, if Toronto signed Logan, might that mean they can't get a hold of Grant?

We'd better get Vaval under contract soon, before Grant hits FA. I'd rather have Vaval than Grant, but I definite want to have at least one of them.

Speaking of Vaval, Tait tweeted today that he will be back with the Bombers (under contract for 2 more seasons).

He still has 11 days to sign an NFL deal. But that is good news, if Tait is saying there's no NFL interest...

He would have been under contract for 2026. Does this mean he's signing a new deal for an extra season and more $$$$? That would be good news.

Economically challenging to throw away ELC savings on a new contract anytime a rookie overperforms in their first season, as often enough they don't match their output in their second season. No harm making them wait till after their second season to better define their true value.

I don't don't we've ever talked about this or if it's a new thing in the CBA, but rookies have been entering the league on 3 year deals. I don't think Vaval had to re-up.

He doesn't, and neither did Pokey, they are still under contract within the CFL. I'm not against revising their contracts if they sign for extended years but they could also be held to their ELC contract terms, like Schoen was.

Pokey did sign an extension though; whereas I don't think Vaval did. I think he was just on a 3 year deal.
