Blue Bombers re-sign defensive back Deatrick Nichols

Yes, this is the most unusual part of all the signing announcements so far... we usually don't see this many 2-years.  And once again we're signing another top/key guy first.

Are we pulling out the "play in the GC at home in 2025 and go down in history" card to get all of these 2 year deals??

Love me some Nichols!!  Now... change to #15 so my jersey(s!) can be useful again!! 

I was always hoping this was the case ever since we got named host in '25. That is our milestone.

what's the status of Holm?   He was definitely one of our better DBs along with Nichols

I don't have any info on Holm.  But I did want to say that after rewatching the GC his INT was probably the best defensive play by a Bomber all year.  He high-pointed it backwards/upsidedown like the top receivers do, and he out-receivered Mack in a contested catch, who is or soon will be a top-3 CFL WR.

All this and Holm is, I'm guessing, several inches shorter than Mack.

A completely insane play that should be remembered for years to come, even if we did lose.  He didn't really INT much in-season, but he sure got one when it counted.  It should have been enough for us to win...

We found & dev'd Holm, and gave him his big pro shot.  Hopefully he stays with us a while.

Holm has already worked out for the Vikes and today/yesterday it was announced he's also working out for the Denver Broncos.
