January 16, 2026
WINNIPEG, Mb. – January 16, 2026 –The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Canadian receiver Gavin Cobb.
Cobb (5-9, 170; University of Manitoba; born: January 28, 1998, in Victoria, B.C.) returns to the Blue Bombers in 2026 for his second season with the club and fourth in the Canadian Football League after spending the first two years of his career (2023-24) with the Edmonton Elks.
Cobb appeared in four regular season games with the Blue Bombers in 2025, plus the Eastern Semi-Final, including two starts. He finished the year with six catches for 51 yards, including four receptions for 44 yards in a win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders on October 17th. He added two catches for 29 yards in the playoff loss to the Montreal Alouettes.
A fourth-round selection, 30th overall, by the Elks in the 2022 CFL Draft, Cobb has now appeared in 33 CFL games, including 10 starts.
In his final season at Manitoba in 2021 Cobb pulled in 27 passes for 340 yards and five touchdowns while being named a Canada West All-Star as a kick returner after returning 27 punts for 250 yards, including a 91-yard touchdown against Alberta.

Where on earth are we getting a $100-$150k above '25 QB room cost to hire a Crum or Powell or Maier. Maybe we could afford a Masoli. That's about it.
Money issues could mean we are rolling with Wilson #2 and Greek #3. Careful what you/we wish for regarding dropping Strev!
Then again, if we put $400k more into our OL and make some great week 1 starter DPs and scouting finds, there's a good chance we won't ever need a #2!
Because we probably had some SMS left from 2025.

Last post by DM83 - January 16, 2026, 07:11:19 PMThere are a few NFL QBs, who seem to have been given the instruction check your primary, if not there, your second option , and if not there take off and run. Those guys can at least run. Then there are dozens every year, who can't read a defence and their options.
I thought Strev improved at trying to read. His record seemed to say he seemed to do it, plus being behind a crap O line.
And let's be honest. If he comes back, he would easily be our second guy to start. And the way Collaros played. and the way Strev finished.....
Strev did pretty good behind an O line that gave the QBs little time.

How is the knee progressing for both Schoen and Strev? I would think both guys need more time for healing and their football careers are done as players.
Strev was amazing to be able to even play last yr.
Shoen playing career might be done. Knee injuries can go either way it seems. Some guys come back, some don't.
Great players! Strev is an interesting man. So much courage and toughness.
Yeah, I'm not expecting good medical updates on either player. Information is vague but it did seem neither would be available for another 1/2 season. There is a risk for both the players and the team to consider re-signing either.
They were both warriors but multiple injuries can derail promising careers.

None of the Canadian receivers were bad but none were great per se. If they think Clercius will be behind Corcoran going into TC then he might be trade bait? That said it would then only leave Cobb as depth.
Adding Cobb might suggest that a potential free agent Canadian receiver is not a high priority. Drafting one in the 1st 2 rounds might be though.

So maybe Cobb is just special teams at this point.
Could be designated as the early placeholder for Vaval.

There's never enough QBs in the CFL, if he's good enough, he'll play. It doesn't matter if we've found one or not.
True I guess, Ryan Rigmaiden discussed in his recent interview how much more difficult it is to sign US college QB's now that they're receiving Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) money, motivation and hardship have been removed from the equation.
Elgersma must be kicking himself for not attending a US College, and I imagine that money is going to help drain the pool of a lot of promising CDN football talent in USports.
