Bomber Free Agents

[Blue In BC]

I don't think so. He took a pretty good hometown discount on his last contract.

Offers.
BC: 256k
Hamilton: 275k
WPG: 235k

He makes it clear he wants to win and is not confident of that here.

He probably owns a home in Winnipeg. How much would it cost him to rent a home in Vancouver for 5 months and be away from his friends and family? I didn't see those offers but I'll take your word on that.

I get the wanting to win a championship but there are no guarantees. Bombers and Argos both were in the Grey Cup last year. This year, neither came close.

Also the Bomber offence has been geared to his talent. The Lions are not a run first or a lot. They are a passing team which is obvious from their QB and receiver group.

In the WSF Butler had 7 carries. O'Rourke had 6 and more yardage. It was an off day for their passing attack

Didn't even know he was on the team...remember how long it took to hire him?  Was he option "C"?

Check out 2:50, you're unlikely to find higher praise for a coach.

Check out 1:50, he repeats the message.

A decent list of talent not heading to free agency. 4 import rookies, 2 that haven''t played yet, 2 that played in the last game. They will most likely get a chance in TC.

Our QB situation may or may not change before TC. That's something to watch beyond free agency itself.

Surprised by some names on that list, is it in any way official or your best guess?
