Blue Bombers Transactions - May 5, 2026

That's a shame. Didn't realize it was that serious.

Might be.  Or might be a stash while we scope out the latest DPs... Isn't room for them all!

As far as I know, the new draft picks are non-counters right now. They don't affect anything until final cuts.

What was the injury?  You'd think a young athlete would heal up better than ever after almost a full year?

That's correct which also applies to a couple of non drafted Canadians that we signed. The only change is that any returning picks from last year that returned to college for one more year are now counters. We have one OL that applies to.

At the moment we've only signed 7 of 9 2026 draft picks. They might arrive for the main TC. That leaves us with maybe 10 at the moment as non counters.

A knee injury that happened about mid season last year. So a full year will be in August this year. Whether he can return sooner or not will be a health decision later but no need to rush him. Remember what happened with Schoen which is something we want to avoid on a young player.
