Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: 2026 Main Training Camp - ...
Last post by Jesse - Today at 05:03:17 AMQuote from: Tecno on Today at 04:28:42 AMThey were talking a lot about McGhee, then dumped him. Ike or Peterson could still suffer the same fate.
I'm starting to wonder if Daniels isn't now in "dev year" mode. He may not be on AR week 1. Might not even make reserve. PR seems possible. If that's the case then Peterson & Ike both dress and there's no roster issue.
The new DE seems headed in the same direction. If 1RDP Shay spent a year basically doing nothing, then it's entirely possible these new guys do too. It's just the Mafia way. Pay your dues first.
We always want a first-year-starter, but we basically never get it, at least outside of hoggies. Nope, such Nice Things only happen to other teams.
Ike and Peterson are in no danger. They're important depth and ST players at the very least.
Daniels was always a developmental player. I believe he'll be on the roster but he'll need time to be worked in. The PR is always possible/likely for a draft pick.

1) Keon Hatcher Sr., B.C. Lions (A)
Hard money: $287,500

6) Nic Demski, Winnipeg Blue Bombers (N)
Hard money: $240,000
Maximum value: $255,000
Sticking in Winnipeg hasn't come with a hometown discount for Demski, as his latest deal came with a $65,000 signing bonus. The 32-year-old will make $150,000 in salary, plus another $25,000 in marketing. He can also make another $1,000 for a sixth career divisional all-star nod, $2,000 for his first All-CFL selection, and $2,000 each for becoming a divisional finalist in up to three major award categories, with an equivalent bonus for winning each award.
7) Tim White, Winnipeg Blue Bombers (A)
Hard money: $222,000
Maximum value: $236,000
White may have been deemed expendable in Hamilton, but he remained highly prized by the Bombers, who lured him in with a $75,000 signing bonus. The 31-year-old will make $117,000 in salary, $15,000 in housing, and $15,000 in marketing. The four-time all-star will get $1,000 each for a divisional all-star and All-CFL selection, plus $2,000 in incentives for being a finalist or winning up to three Most Outstanding awards.

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Preseason Viewing Schedule
Last post by Tecno - Today at 04:40:16 AMNot sure if this has been covered yet. Didn't see it, so let's try to figure it all out here. First game is the day you read this (Mon 18th)!
TSN is only showing 2 games? And no blue? That's total suckage.
Sat 23 TOR@HAM 3pm
Fri 29 MTL@OTT 6pm
CFL is streaming the other games, just like last year. They swear they have the technical issues fixed
CFL+
Mon 18 SSK@CGY 2pm
Fri 22 OTT@MTL 6pm
Sat 23 EDM@BC 4pm
Sat 23 WPG@SSK 6pm <-------- !!
Fri 29 HAM@TOR 6pm
Fri 29 BC @WPG 7:30pm <----- !!
Fri 29 CGY@EDM 8pm
https://www.cfl.ca/plus/
Lots of those overlap. I have no idea if they'll allow replay after the game. In the past they didn't?
Don't miss the 2 WPG games, and I'll see you at the home game! Friendly reminder: BC sux!

Last post by Tecno - Today at 04:28:42 AMQuote from: Blue In BC on May 17, 2026, 02:44:10 PMListening to O'Shea talking about Chris-Ike, I wonder if he's moving up the depth chart as the back up RB? He seems to be getting praised for his work at FB but is showing flashes as a RB. Can we find room for him and Peterson or does Daniels spend some time on the reserve getting up to CFL speed?
Each of these 3 have value but can we find room for all 3 on the AR at the same time?
They were talking a lot about McGhee, then dumped him. Ike or Peterson could still suffer the same fate.

Ed Tait May 5, 2026
WHO TO WATCH
Names passed along by Blue Bombers crack scouting staff (in no particular order)
#9 Bryce Perkins, QB: He's 29 and was the UFL's MVP last year and has a start and a Super Bowl ring from his days with the Los Angeles Rams. So, technically, he's a rookie in name only. All of that pro experience makes him one of the more fascinating players to track in the weeks ahead.
#73 Dante Daniels, TE: We told you the story of the Blue Bombers second-round draft pick last week and the club's management/coaching staff is clearly intrigued to have a 6-5, 272-pound tight end/fullback in their offensive arsenal.
#54 Micah Mazzccua, OL: Massive prospect at 6-5, 325 pounds who played guard at Nebraska, Florida and Baylor. If he's as solid as the scouts believe, he could be one of many who pushes the club to start three Americans along the offensive line.
#13 Taylor Elgersma, QB: The big Canadian QB really needs no introduction to Blue Bombers fans at this point as the former Hec Crighton Trophy winner who was selected by the club in last year's draft and then spent time with the Green Bay Packers and Birmingham Stallions. We'll get our first look at him Wednesday, fuelling an already fascinating storyline.
#72 Dorian Singer, WR: Had a long look last year from the Jacksonville Jaguars after spending his college days with Utah, USC and Arizona. Receiving depth is always a must in our league.
#58 David Reese, DE: He's got 56 collegiate games to his name over eight years, with injuries giving him two more years of eligibility. Started every game at Syracuse last year and has posted 13.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss in his career at Syracuse, Cal and Florida.
#50 Johnny Hodges, LB: Had a look last year from the Los Angeles Chargers. Was named the Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year and Second-Team All-Big 12 during his days at Texas Christian.
#17 Jordan Taylor, DB: The Blue Bombers have always had a knack for finding quality DBs. Taylor will be one of many trying to prove he's the next one. Was in rookie minicamp last year with the Las Vegas Raiders.
#36 Robert Javier, DB: Good size at 6-1, 195, Javier has spent time in Saskatchewan after playing in three preseason games with the Tennessee Titans in 2024.
#89 Key'Shawn Smith, WR: Appeared in three preseason games last year with the Kansas City Chiefs. Also a returner.
