CFL (Non-Bombers) 2026 season news

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

More bad news coming out of Ottawa, D-line is not an area of need for the Bombers but Baldonado seems a bargain at $185k.

Ottawa Redblacks release high-priced defender Habakkuk Baldonado, five others.

Dinwiddie is like mos in that he demands effort and hustle. If he's releasing a middling guy then it's likely because he's not trying. We don't want that kind of guy either.

Plus, unless it's a nat I don't see how any dl makes us better. Our dl starters are all now very good.

Clearing cap space for Kelly amd Moxie?

You mean coxie? Ya, but they could do that just the same in FA. I really think it's Dinwiddie sending messages and being ruthless with the chaff.

Of course... Coxie.

Alouettes re-sign WR Rambo

Good pick up, he killed the Bombers in the ESF, they must have lost a receiver against BC.

I don't know if they lost a receiver but Theis got moved to 6 game IR.

They could be loading up for the home stretch. If a reciever goes down due to injury, they have one who's experienced with their system ready to step in.

Sign Baldonado now, our D needs help and he is worth it on a pro rated contract for these next 6 games.

Montreal place Theis on the 6 game IR.

There must be an issue for the Redblacks to release him. That's a concern. Cost aside, he's a global and adding him would require removing a Canadian from the AR. I suppose there are solutions but I'm not convinced it's a good idea.

I guess we'll see if a team picks him up quickly.

Could be another player in conflict with Dinwiddie, maybe Baldonado bought into the RB's potential for a turn around under Dinwiddie in FA and can't stand losing every single game.  The truth will come out soon enough through the grapevine.

I forgot he was a GLOB.  That makes it a bit more enticing, as a "free dress" because we current only AR 1 GLOB.  I'm not too concerned if the barrel-bottom STer NAT sits for a talented GLOB to come on.

But still, he's 90% useless unless Willie or Reese gets hurt.  Ya, he's probably better than Gatkouth at this moment, but not by miles.  And Gatkouth is our future we are dev'ing, Baldonado would probably be a rental.

We haven't often rostered 2 glob's on the AR but we have done it a few times last year. IIRC it was mostly due to so many Canadians getting injured.

All that considered we could take Shay or another ST play off to add him.

I'm just not convinced we do that. Like I said, we'll see if any team picks him up.
