That's good.  However, now we've wasted like 3/4's of both camps on McGhee.  That's not good.  It means any other rookie may be slow off the mark in week 1.  That's why I think we start with Vaval or find a vet...

definitely overstating "wasted". We've had guys practice first-team and even play first-team and get cut. It's fine

Blue Bombers Transactions - May 14, 2026
 
WINNIPEG, MB., May 14, 2026 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the following roster moves.

Released from roster:

American receiver Kenneth Womack

With the roster reductions it's difficult to tell if we're at the limit or below the limit. Releasing another player after yesterdays " limit " is a fluid thing. I wonder if it means they are adding a new player which may or may not be a receiver.

Teams are allowed a set number of adds / deletions at this point. I suppose you can release more players if you want but the new players added is limited IIRC.

As far as receivers we still have 6 rookie import receivers and 3 Canadians on the roster ( including Daniels ).

Singer and Smith seem to be standing out ahead of the crowd.

Mike:

" He's a good kid. He's in shape. He's ready to go," said Blue Bombers head coach Mike O'Shea after practice. "He's up here sooner than we thought. I was hoping (he would stick with Denver). We've got some really good football players from north of the 49th that do really well down there and I was hoping he was another one."

Mike is proud of our country.  I suppose we all knew that, but here's a pretty plain statement confirming it.

Always a good thing, but more so these days.

Ya, but I forgot once again... needs to be an IMP to make use of Elgersma's ratio bonus.  So basically we can't use that at all until Elgersma is our actual starter.

It's funny, for like 3-4 seasons now we almost never need "ratio help".  It's just the way Mafia has structured our team.  But if Elgersma is our known/planned starter in, say, 2028, KW can work that into the plan and make sure we have some extra quality IMPs.

Elgersma's "ratio help" is a bonus.

He's here because he can play.  He grew up in three down and excelled. He's not here because of his passport, it is a bonus, especially if he can start one day.

Of all the new QB's in camp, he's the most CFL ready.

If he can't keep up, though, they will move on.

But, for the next 2/3 years, we will see how ho takes to the Pro game.

The McGhee thing just makes no sense. Why drop a guy that you deemed worthy to be playing with your starters in the 1st week? There was a video of MOS gushing about him too. 
I feel like maybe the success went to his head a little and something happened...said something to a teammate/whatever.
We know the whole FIFO thing, there must not have been a fit because why wouldn't we have kept him to at least see in in preseason?
Ohwell, I agree with the post above. We've had no issues finding great DBs for years. One of the easiest spots to get rookies to play too.

The coaches , (OShea} liked McPhee hes a vet came to camp in great shape and by giving him reps against top receivers they were able to determine early that he js not the guy.
Splitting reps all around just. Would have added doubt

Its about time!! Defensively, the Leafs are horrible, give up consistently 10-15 more shots to the opposition, that's on the system they're playing. They don't have the offense to run and gun with teams, gotta go to a more defensive system...could Bruce Boudreau be the next Leafs coach?? He's from Toronto, played his junior hockey there, played for the Leafs in the NHL, won a Stanley Cup in Washington....they could do alot worse than him

Barry Trotz was the Capitals head coach when they won the Stanley Cup in 2018. Boudreau was head coach of the Wild at that time.

I don't think Berube was the issue in Toronto, or at least not a glaring issue. Not that I care because I love it when the Leafs are bad, but I think he became the fall guy/scapegoat for the organization's recent failures.

Pretty sure we can and have cut players getting injured in TC before.  Teams just drop them like hot potatoes and say "oh well, tough luck!".  It's literally the worst time to get injured as I'm pretty sure they don't earn any salary after that.

Only if we gave JSK a huge bonus (I think it was $0?) or we are really high on him do we have to not cut him.  If they've officially moved him to the 6G and that makes him now uncuttable, then there's got to be a reason for that.

We have cut players in TC due to injury but that is usually rookies. I don't know if there is a specific rule regarding veterans but in those cases teams add them to their IR lists.
