Blue Bombers roster - 2020-2021

[Blue In BC]

Been too busy lately. So forgive my ignorance.  Is there an up to date depth chart.? Can someone post it? Please and Thanks

There is a post string title " Unofficial Current roster " you can look at. It's near the top of the forum page. Currently we have nearly 100 players under contract. Nothing approaching an actual depth chart just positional information.

I suppose you could look at the Grey Cup roster from the 2019 schedule and see which players are no longer with the team. Essentially the significant starters that have departed are Sayles, Rose & Kongbo. The other gone were back up players.

The 2020 free agent list for the team will show who didn't re-sign.

Thanks Blue,  I will go digging

Winnipeg Blue Bombers sign former XFL defensive tackle Casey Sayles
April 4, 2021  By John Hodge

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed American defensive tackle Casey Sayles.

The six-foot-three, 290-pound defender recorded 111 total tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, and 12.5 sacks as a member of the Ohio University Bobcats before going unselected in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Sayles was in training camp with the Los Angeles Rams (2017) and Pittsburgh Steelers (2018) before making his professional debut with the Birmingham Iron of the Alliance of American Football (AAF). He recorded 13.5 tackles and a sack prior to the league ceasing operations.

Sayles rejoined the Steelers in 2019 but was again released. He was a first-round pick of the St. Louis BattleHawks of the XFL and dressed for five games, making 8.5 tackles and one sack.

The 25-year-old will look to make an impact in the CFL as a member of the defending Grey Cup champions.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers   @Wpg_BlueBombers

The team has released receiver Travis Rudolph.

Darren Cameron   @Darren_Cameron
The organization was made aware of Travis Rudolph's arrest this morning and he has subsequently been released. Rudolph was signed in December of 2019 and did not play in a game for the Blue Bombers.


Bombers release former NFL receiver Travis Rudolph following murder charges

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have released receiver Travis Rudolph following two murder charges.

According to the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office, shortly after midnight on Wednesday, April 7, deputies responded to a double shooting that stemmed from an altercation in Lake Park, Florida. Upon arrival deputies learned that one male was transported to a local hospital for treatment, and another male was located a short distance away deceased.

Further investigation led to the identity of the suspect, Rudolph. He was located, arrested, and transported to the Palm Beach County Jail on charges of first degree murder, and attempted first degree murder with no bond.

Rudolph was a pure receiver who was highly productive while at Florida State University. During three seasons with the Seminoles, the West Palm Beach native caught 153 passes for 2,311 yards and 18 touchdowns. His best season at FSU came in 2015 when he hauled in 59 balls for 916 yards and seven touchdowns - leading the Noles in all three major receiving categories.

During the 2015 Peach Bowl, Rudolph went off for 201 yards on seven catches. That broke the school record for most receiving yards in a Bowl game. It had been held by Javon Walker who put up 195 yards in the 2002 Gator Bowl.

Rudolph went unselected in the 2017 NFL draft, but signed an undrafted free agent contract with the New York Giants. He made eight catches for 101 yards in his rookie season in the Big Apple.

Rudolph was released by the G-men following training camp in 2018. The Miami Dolphins added him to the practice roster in October, but during his first practice with the fish he tore his ACL. He was healthy and ready to resume his football career, signing with the Bombers in December 2019.

Nice big receiver.

Cologne Centurions signed Thiadric Hansen:

Cologne Centurions   @colognefootball
"Thiadric will be playing for us with an opt-out clause for the CFL in his contract. When the Winnipeg Blue Bombers need him to report to camp he will have to leave us, but until then he can help the Centurions win!" - David Drane (GM)

"He is one of Europes top players and we are very pleased to have him on board!" - David Drane (GM)

[Blue In BC]

Good on Thiadric getting game time in Europe. Unless he gets injured this will continue to develop his playing skills.

[Pigskin]

If he gets injured and we do end up playing this year, that would screw us up a bit.

I'm looking forward to seeing which draft choices make the 2021 roster. I've seen a few play before knowing they'd be Bombers one day.

Even this early it's encouraging hearing about the talent they bring.
