Blue Bombers roster - 2024-2025

The biggest news is that the Bombers kept American RB Quinton Cooley and he accepted a practice roster spot.

Perhaps surprise releases:
RECs Myron Mitchell, Jaylen Hall
DB Isaiah Avery (big plays on Friday)
P James Evans (Global & they have 2 Global practice roster spots open)

By my count the Bombers have 51 players left on the active roster (4 are already on injured list).
So, there are 6 or 7 roster moves to be made before the opener (injured list, suspended list, healthy scratch)

RECOUNT: Make that 52 players left on the Bombers active roster. That makes 7 or 8 moves in advance of the opener.

Game day roster can be 44 or 45. The 45th spot can be a Canadian or a Global.

Rookies to make the team:

DBs Cam Allen, Trey Vaval, Jaylen Smith, Ethan Ball
LB Connor Shay, Lane Novak
DT Collin Kornelson
WR Joey Corcoran
RBs Quinton Cooley, Matthew Peterson

Must add QB Chase Artopoeus to the list. Hopefully he's okay after taking a big hit in Friday's game.

And first-year Bombers via free agency:

DE James Vaughters
LB Jonathan Jones
REC Jerreth Sterns
REC Dillon Mitchell
REC Reggie White Jr.
REC Gavin Cobb

RB Peyton Logan (1), DBs Enock Makonzo (6) & Josh Hagerty (1) are on the injured list

And the Bombers active roster contains 24 non-QB Americans. That means 4 need to go to various lists (practice, injured, etc).

Teams are allowed a max of 19 Americans on the game-day roster and 1 Nationalized American (so 20 in total)
