...recent signings, player negotiations, upcoming free agency in an interview with Ed Tait...

Walters commented "...(He) did anticipate the Blue Bombers being more active in free agency this year ..." which should keep fans glued to news come the opening of Free Agency on Feb. 11, 2025 at noon ET.

The full article by Ed Tait is here!

If we are more active in free agency then we will be losing a bunch of pieces.  Wonder what they are.

Ya, but most years are max 1 "splash" FA signing... so "more active" could just mean we are getting 2 this time.   :P  :P

And if you think you'll be outbid for a bunch of departing FA guys, what makes you think you'll save money bidding on new FA incoming guys?  The only way that makes any sense is if people are saying they want to leave regardless of price.
Never go full Rider!

Bighill, Schoen, Streveler all have health issues. We have some aging issues. We lost Ontaria Wilson to the NFL.  We could lose Ford to the NFL or to another CFL club (Edmonton?). There is no doubt we will lose some players to CFL free agency.

All that needs to be looked at, addressed and plan for it.  It's not surprising we will be active in free agency this year.

 Time, injury, and life marches on.
If Shoen, strevler, Bighill could play like they did three years ago, it would be simple.  Sign them.

But as most of us know, football is pretty unforgiving. Once your body breaks or tears something, it rarely comes back the way it was. Schoenberg and Bighill injured two years in a row. Them legs are telling you something.  Strevlers injuries were so massive, I doubt he passes a physical.  I think they go on an all-star injury team.

Plus we have already replaced them with younger, less expensive guys....the future.

As it is we are pushing our luck with the Cup here, and no legit back-up QB. I am pretty sure when we picked up Zac on a whim, we didn't expect him to last this long.  I think we. Have been passed the point of value, on the Dollar.  Let's say he is concussed, or gets a leg injury and is done for the year.  Mr.Walters who are you going to go after.?   Looks like Fajardo, or even the Stampeder/ Hamilton guy.  Both guys would have a lot to prove.  Plus if the Bombers can bring in an o line that can block for them, good old Zac, could last, after all.

All I know it would be very sad to see the Cupm in Winnipeg, and legends not be in it.  That would be hard wouldn't it.
