Good move getting Exume back, yah!

Must be a little brain fog, but on the 3downnation.com artical, it says he was drafted by the bombers and even lead the league in ST tackles on the 2019 grey cup team!?
It feels so weird that this is someone I don't remember at all...

[M.O.A.B.]

I expected this to happen when Exume was released by the Als. O'Shea like Exume and he gave Mike Miller a run for his money in 2019 as the best ST guy with the Bombers.

Fantastic pickup for our special teams!

Yup. He was a very good player on ST's but played out his option and returned east ( home ).

Good pick up adding Canadian depth.

Not sure about Beeksma. He's shown as added to our PR. Did we get a Canadian LB nicked last week? Doesn't hurt to add some Canadians to our PR. We were running out of choices due to injuries.

Two solid signings, Exume in particular.

How/why did MTL release him?  Lord knows, they need good players, especially NATs...  he played for Machiocha in college...

[Blue In BC]

I do wonder if this means we've lost Kramdi to injury for at least a short time. Regardless, still a good move.

If Demski can play this week, then Murphy probably is the one to come off.

[theaardvark]

Looking at the transactions... he was injured, and removed from IR on Jun 30 and released...

The timing with moving Kramdi to the IR seems logical.  Will be interesting to see if the injury has changed his game... or if he is fully recovered.  Not sure what his injury was... but for Walters to bring him in, I'm guessing he's good to go.

Per DT, Gauthier is not in practice today. Not sure if this pick up is related to that.

Gauthier is still on the roster but I didn't notice him out there much last game, which is odd.

Nice pickups

[GOLDMEMBER]

This should help coverage units. has Miller even played a snap yet?

Nope, don't think so.

Exume is a good pick-up.  Welcome back.
