Trade deadline Oct 5, 5:00

I've been wrong about basically everything this year, but I'm guessing that they stay put.
We have more than a month to get healthier and I think that's what we do. If we clinch our spot this week, we don't play another meaningful game until the second weekend of November.

Well that was fast...

It's trigger pulling day!

3DN says they've released Kelvin McKnight.

Recently released Ti-Cat DB Desmond Lawrence is apparently being brought in as well.

Lawrence has a few games under his belt. Might be an improvement as a DI? He can play on ST's and Cooper and Hassell haven't impressed me yet.


Hmmm. Cooper has Darby's # 22. Both are shown with that # at the moment.

[Norm W]

Give me... DB Darby

****... Nailed it! Might actually be Kyle himself posting in disguise

If so, then Ceresna is on his way!

Surprised at the move of Wilcots, although that must mean there is another move in the works, or Jefferson is expected back, and you have to give something to get something...

Darby will fit...

What's next?

Bombers have recently signed DE's Keion Adams and Bronson Massie on the PR, hopefully they both get auditions before the end of the season and they let Jeffcoat heal fully before the playoffs.

I'm curious to see if and how they use Massie if he gets on the AR. I'd put him behind Adams as next up.

Massie is shorter and heavier than any of our candidates at DE. He almost seems built more for a DT. That said no physical trait is all inclusive specifically in that regard. He may be very fast, quick and powerful coming off the edge. He just seems a little " short " to be coming off the edge IMO.

Wow going to be so awesome to see how these new faces do.  Just gotta clinch 1st and give these guys plenty of reps and rest out vets.

Wish we had "Capfriendly" for the CFL where we knew the actual contract status/value for these players.

Ceresna would be a huge get for anyone.  Not sure Gainey fits with the team, but his skill set does. 

Avery Williams, Mauldin (if not injured) would be nice pickups.  Hunter or Kanneh depending on how long before we start seeing our DB's come back.

That's about all I see of interest...



 

[Pigskin]

I can't see Ceresna coming here. I mean the man is a beast. 54 games, 107 tackles, 25 sacks, 5 FF. 6'5", 293, and has excellent speed.

So, what are you giving up for him???  Jeffcoat and a 1st. round pick. Because there no way we can afford, Ceresna, Jeffcoat, and Jefferson.

Whatever the cap hit for any new player might be it's for 3 games, tops. I'm not sure where they draw the line for who pays a salary when a player is traded mid week. Regardless at worst it's 1/6 of the salary for 2022.

Clock is ticking for all CFL teams. I wonder if any other trades will be made. Nice to contemplate some of additions suggested but we'll know in the next 24 hours or so.

I agree that Ceresna isn?t coming here but you have to factor when a player is put on the 6 game IR that?s 6 games worth of salary that isn?t counted towards the cap.
The Bombers could probably technically ?rent? a guy like Ceresna.
The Bombers could do a ?conditional pick and beg list player?? Without giving anyone up. Then again they could also trade a depth/practice roster guy as well.

Wilson will not be back. But Ellingson and Houston will be.

Wilson has been out basically the whole season... and I didn't think/see it was a season-ender, so what's ailing him?  If he doesn't come back, and we continue NAT at WILL, then we can start an extra IMP at DT and go back to the more familiar Fatboi rotation that worked so well in '19/'21.

Houston seemed to have a season-ender no-contact and I haven't heard otherwise.  What makes you think he's going to be back?

Ellingson for sure should be back, soon.  Maybe we are resting him for the playoffs since our O is already doing quite well.
