[4 spots are already assigned]

Not so much, 4 spots are already assigned to Holm, Nichols, Kramdi and Moxey, the only true opening is the leftover CB spot and perhaps a rigorous debate about who plays Safety.

Ya, but Moxey isn't a 100% sure deal.  He has to FIFO and show effort at practice and capacity to learn the system.  There's no auto-shoe-in just because he's $175k -- see D.Mitchell.  If you get in MOS's dog house you could find yourself on the PR.

Also, ya, Moxey will probably get it, but we need to spot the next-man-up in TC because a season never goes by where a DB isn't injured.  We want the next guy to be basically as good as the starters.

Moving Allen to CB would be like moving Bridges to CB which was like moving Chandler Fenner to CB which was like moving Roc Carmichael to CB.

Wow, good memory.  I had completely forgotten about Fenner.  As for the other guy, we don't mention his name around here.  PTSD!

There was no mass sale to Saskatchewan. Nothing strange or weird is happening. That stuff is gone now. The end.

Had to go somewhere though!  WFC wouldn't just trash it all...

The answer is that nobody was buying it anymore and keeping inventory around that doesn't sell costs money.

New seasonal gear starts to come in soon and the virtual and physical inventory space was needed for stuff that will sell. No different than any other clothing business and how they handle inventory season to season.

Probably sold everything left over to a Sask. outfit that would have an ongoing market for sales, instead of discounting and dumping inventory till it was all gone.

That would make sense, however, if that was a viable option, why wouldn't the other GC host cities do this every year?  Every year since 2019 I've been able to score cheap GC gear basically up until TC.

BomberStore website still managed to suck me into buying some of their non-GC sale stuff... so they still got me!  I need to stay away from that place... have WAY too much blue & gold gear around here!

This looks like someone spent about 3 minutes on it. No mention of all the players riders lost on the D-line, and then claim they benefit from "continuity in the trenches".  . I think the riders will still be good, because they seem good at scouting new american talent, probably due to Paul Jones.

Bombers are too low IMO. Lost nothing significant other than Vaughters, and added a ton, not just Ceresna and Broxton that are mentioned, but also  Tim White and Nield to upgrade receivers, and Moxey to solidify a major weakness last year at corner. Plus Condell for Hogan. I'd have us tied for 3rd with BC, behind Montreal and Sask.

Have agree with your assessment.  There will be a lot to sort out at TC but we will be better than last season.

Will be a really fun spot to watch and see what happens.

Anyone want to take a stab at their current pecking order?

And Lamont is probably penciled in at the other side already.

Most likely he's got the initial edge to win that spot. OTOH we've signed about 11 new DB's but which are capable of playing CB in the CFL is a TBD.

Heading down to Dunedin for a couple of weeks. Sounds like the Jays have signed Scherzer for 1 year at $3M.
