Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Tre Ford
Last post by Tecno - Today at 06:32:11 AMMakes sense. I don't know why the cfl.ca article didn't guess this one. They get a decent SY guy who can also do some tricks, and a has-a-hope backup for BLM. Plus, if Milanovich is a "QB Whisperer", all the better for Tre.
The fact they came to a deal so early, though, makes me think HAM overpaid. BUT, with BLM still being "affordable" (relatively), they could afford it.

WINNIPEG, MB., FebruarDorian Sy 2, 2026 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed American wide receiver Dorian Singer, American running back J.J Taylor, and American linebacker Micah Cretsinger.
Singer (6-0, 191, Utah; born: October 16, 2002, in Saint Paul, MN.) joins the Bombers after time in the NFL and a four-year collegiate career with Utah (2024), USC (2023), and Arizona (2021-2022).
In 2025, Singer signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent, attending rookie minicamp and training camp. He appeared in all three preseason games, recording seven receptions for 59 yards, and was later signed to the Jaguars' practice squad before being waived shortly after.
Singer completed his collegiate career at Utah, starting all 12 games and recording 53 receptions for 702 yards and one touchdown. Prior to Utah, he played at USC, where he totaled 24 receptions for 289 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games (10 starts).
In his breakout season at Arizona in 2022, Singer emerged as one of the Pac-12's top receivers, leading the conference with 1,105 receiving yards on 66 receptions while adding six touchdowns and starting 11 of 12 games.
Taylor (5-6, 185, Arizona; born: January 4, 1998, in Corona, CA.) joins the Bombers after six seasons in the NFL (2020-2025), and a four-year collegiate career with Arizona (2016-2019).
In 2020, Taylor signed with the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent, making the practice squad out of training camp. He was promoted to the active roster and made his professional debut in a Week 1 win versus the Miami Dolphins. Across six seasons with New England (2020-2023) and Houston (2024-2025), he has appeared in 17 games, totaling 62 rushing attempts for 200 yards and two touchdowns, along with eight receptions for 20 yards.
Collegiately, Taylor appeared in 49 games and recorded 3,263 rushing yards on 587 carries for 18 rushing touchdowns. He also contributed as a receiver with 62 catches for 487 yards and two receiving touchdowns, finishing his collegiate career with 3,750 all-purpose yards. Taylor's best season came in 2018 when he recorded 1,434 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns.
Cretsinger (6-0, 238, Saginaw Valley State; born: July 11, 2001, in Jackson, MI.) signs with the Bombers after signing in the NFL and CFL (2025), and a four-year collegiate career with Saginaw Valley State (2021-2024).
Cretsinger signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent and participated in rookie minicamp before being waived. He later signed with the Ottawa Redblacks during 2025 training camp and was released at final roster cuts.
During his collegiate career at Saginaw Valley State, Cretsinger appeared in 44 games and recorded 271 total tackles (147 solo, 124 assists), 32.5 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks. He added 10 interceptions, 10 pass breakups, seven forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries, scoring five defensive touchdowns. Cretsinger earned four All-GLIAC selections, multiple All-American honours, and was a finalist for the 2024 Cliff Harris Award, presented to the nation's top small-college defensive player.

Last post by Tecno - Today at 03:46:47 AMQuote from: theaardvark on Today at 03:35:48 AMPokey White Demski Neild is a great core corps, if Wheatfall stays, he's fine. Otherwise, we will see a rookie earn his bones.
So which REC gets announced last @PAS? Who is the "star"?
Both Demski & White earning about the same? Will White "accept" not getting top billing?

Last post by Tecno - Today at 03:43:03 AMI guess this would be a great place to discuss the SMS thoughts and how I don't see how we are fitting all of these new splash FAs under the cap.
We still have to fill out the rest of the roster. Does this mean any remaining middling or $25k-over-ELC guys are all going to be passed over in favor of a ton of ELC's?
Or did we have/spend way more '25 SMS before Dec 31 than anyone thought, leaving tons of room in the '26 SMS?
Or are we finally taking the BC approach to going over cap and using more MMM?

Last post by Tecno - Today at 03:39:32 AMQuote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on January 29, 2026, 06:00:42 PMI don't remember if this was ever discussed but Eli played the entire second half of the ESF in place of Neufeld and did pretty well. Not going to discount his abilities to compete for the Centre spot, he certainly has earned his shot.
Ya, maybe he's finally ready to step up. But it will be one of the longest dev paths ever! If we don't sign a splash C in FA (don't see how we can now, with SMS concerns), then it'll be up to TC competition, and maybe the draft, to finalize our C.
As for the ESF, I haven't rewatched yet, so I only can go by what I saw live at Molson. And at Molson I had no idea whatsoever Neuf got hurt, so yes, that's saying something about Eli that our OL did pretty good in the 2nd H with Eli at RG, which isn't even his natural spot.
Maybe that impressed Mafia enough to give him a shot to earn a starting role.

Last post by theaardvark - Today at 03:35:48 AMQuote from: Tecno on Today at 03:25:49 AMSo Nield could be our inside-pass bruiser-type punishment guy to get us those tough 5Y on 2nd & medium? That's what we needed most, and White certainly isn't that.
If we've filled that hole I think we can do quite well.
So who is the 5th then? By my count we're still short. Sterns/Pokey/Schoen/Wheatie likely gonzo. Clercius/Cobb/Corcoran ("The 3 C's"?) still on the roster? Maybe we're hoping we snag one of the above IMPs cheap when no one calls them, or scouting turns up a gem.
Pokey White Demski Neild is a great core corps, if Wheatfall stays, he's fine. Otherwise, we will see a rookie earn his bones.

Last post by Tecno - Today at 03:30:58 AMQuote from: Pigskin on January 28, 2026, 03:43:24 PMIt looks like 244 is a mistake. I have seen 231 a number of times. Two pre-season games in the CFL doesn't tell us that much.
cfl.ca is having its Genius issues again.
They have Broxton listed as 230 lbs right now:
