Last post by gobombersgo - Today at 05:26:30 AMWinnipeg Blue Bombers QB Chase Artopoeus retires from CFL
By 3Down Staff -March 11, 2026
Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Chase Artopoeus has retired after one season in the Canadian Football League.
The 25-year-old passer spent the 2025 season in the Manitoba capital, dressing for five regular-season games in a depth role.
"So grateful to have played the sport and position I love for a long time. Recently, after a lot of thinking and looking towards the future, I took a step back and decided to officially step away and retire from the CFL," Artopoeus wrote on Instagram.
"Am very thankful to everyone along the way that impacted my career in one way or another. It's been an up and down ride definitely, but I still believe that type of ride to be the best kind!
Lastly, I'm very fortunate to have the opportunity to stay around the game and coach some of the best QBs in the Chattanooga area and across the country. Being able to do so made this decision one that brings tons of excitement! Can't wait for what is to come!"
Artopoeus signed with the Blue Bombers in May last year after a six-year collegiate career with UCLA (2019-2022) and Tennessee-Chattanooga (2023-2024).
The native of Orcutt, Calif. started 15 games during his tenure with the Mocs, completing 61 percent of his passes for 3,730 yards with 23 touchdowns versus nine interceptions. He also rushed 76 times for 152 yards with four touchdowns.
The six-foot-one, 206-pound QB started his collegiate career with UCLA under Chip Kelly and saw action in two games during the 2022 season after spending his first three seasons on the scout and travel team.
Following the retirement of Artopoeus, the Blue Bombers now have four quarterbacks under contract for 2026: Zach Collaros, Terry Wilson, Bryce Perkins, and Payton Thorne.

Certainly a rarity with less than 20 shots but HellB gives up
just way too many. Rangers really played a good road game
Our top 3 forwards are certainly the price of admission, whereas the balance, maybe I will excuse Barron and Koepke, are just average at best

Last post by Pete - March 12, 2026, 10:08:41 PMlooking back at that game what gets me is we actually scored 33 points with a receiver group of Wilson wheatfall stern COroran and Cobb. (our oline actually did a decent job)
Our starting group this year will only have Wilson starting the rest will be upgrades plus adding Broxton should help
In that game the defense totally let us down:
Parker and to a lesser extent Lawson Jr were totally picked on. Every time we only rushed 3 we got killed. Add to that our defense made zero adjustments from the first half where we got beaten badly by the deep ball. This lack of adjustment is an area we really need to adjust this year.

I really doubt we have an heir apparent on our roster this year, there's only so many starting Qb's out there in the league and our heir apparent will come via Free Agency
I always want to be excited about the newbie QBs we sign and 90% of the time they're a disappointment. It's pretty much always been that way so other than a hope and a prayer, we really have no way of knowing if we have now or will ever have this year the "heir apparent".

Agreed. Considering he'll be 33 this spring, load management going forward should be prioritized.
