Canada made far to many mistakes last night. Scoring on your own net, and two big giveaways for goals. Also have to clean up the penalties.

Never been a big Tim White fan, he has his moments but as often as not he drops balls that hit him in the hands.  Also not really a cheap option, would like them to find an under the radar play-maker rising to become a star, which usually means coming off their ELC.

That under the radar guy is what we tried ly at several spots that really didnt work out

At this point, my most desired outcome is a high draft pick.

Agreed. This season's all but a write-off at this point.

I just don't get Montreal letting him go, good on the Lions, their D just got better

Could be. Not sure what happens with Awe or other costs in SMS as some players may be lost. A little like the same question about Sankey signing in Winnipeg. Great player but does he start of become a DI / rotation player and what is the additional hit to the SMS.

They are going Canadian (and likely cheaper for now) at that spot.

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / NFL Option tryouts

Last post by Blue In BC - December 21, 2025, 02:08:19 PM

Just a running list of players that have had workouts for NFL teams. Contract offers can be made starting Jan 5. I may have missed a couple of others.

 I can imagine at least a few will get some offers although who jumps for a TC chance with no guaranteed money is TBD.  Not sure if any on this list gets some guaranteed money. There are some talented players here though.

1. Vaval
2. Julien
3. Meyers
4. Veresuk
5. Slywka
6. Carter
7. Casey
8. Wooden
9. Braxton
10. Talbert
11. Charfield

Very informative interview with Jim Barker on the operations level, breaks down a lot of the front office jobs and the division between coaching, GM and player personnel duties.  Good thing he loves to talk, you'd never get this much information out of any other CFL GM.

  he is a yapper.
