Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Blue Bombers sign all-star...

Between Demski, Wilson, White, Sterns, and Wheatfall, the Bombers probably have all they really need at receiver (relative to their budget) considering they also have Oliveira at running back who - as he showed last year - is also a threat in the passing game.

At this point, at least on offense, I think the Bombers should be focusing more on their O-line, and plugging gaps on Defense.

Sterns and Wheatfall are pending FA's so there's a chance that they not be back.
Plus we need to do better.

Wonder if Tyrell regrets leaving the Bombers now?

He never really got into Wpg. anyway, don't think he cared much when he left.

True, White won't have pressure to become the star receiver and he has a good group to work with so he should be a great complimentary piece.  I expect Walters to sign one more experienced receiver and hope he's from a different mould than all the others.

I don't know, we can't buy every position in FA. Seems par for the course to have one spot filled internally. Otherwise, what do we have scouts for?

Nope. He left to the highest bidder and nothing has changed.

His brother isn't a free agent but if he was I'd try and bring him back. We don't have a CB returning at the moment. Yes he'd be expensive and that's the downside.

Exactly, he's not a FA. And even if he was, I doubt much has changed from the Bombers' perspective. We have many highly paid position groups. We need to be able to rely on our scouting to fill in the gaps - corner is always where we try and save money.

Tyrell Ford is signed with Edm thru 2027. So he won't be a free-agent for a couple of years.

...Sign them both and have them both compete for corner back is really the way to handle those guys. 

I don't think there is much chance Tre ford beats out Tyrell as a CB. My thinking is that while we don't NEED another starting Canadian, it would allow us to seamlessly move to a 3 import OL. A import OL is still possible but means we lose the ability to have another import elsewhere.

Ford flips an import spot to a Canadian spot. His current contract is $236K which seems " less " based against new 2026 SMS for Holm and Nichols this year compared to last year.

I don't see the Elks trading Tyrell but it's an interesting thought.

Dequoy had a $161K max and is an actual pending free agent. He'd also flip an import spot to a Canadian, so same potential upside.
