Bomber Free Agents

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

He was able to tolerate some hard hits last season, but I wonder if  Wilson might be a bit too slight to succeed in the NFL.

The pounding is bad in the CFL, but worse in the NFL.

Good luck to him, I hope he makes it. Certainly is just as good or better, at catching the ball as a number of NFL guys I watched this season.  And had some nice runs after the catch.

Have to agree, being so slight I'm surprised Pokey lasted through last season, not a lot of meat on his bones so don't think he can bulk up much either. Hopefully he comes back early in the season as he could be a very explosive weapon once Zach figures out how to hit him in motion.

Time for the Bombers to find a big target receiver with good size like McInnis or Schaffer-Baker, Riders have done a good job drafting big Natl. receivers the last few years while the Bombers have largely struck out.  The one big target they had, BOLO, left for Hamilton.

Oh, c'mon now. Streveler is absolutely, unequivocally superior to Wilson.

Well, I am glad for your certainty.  I have not seen near enough of Wilson to assess his skillset.

Nobody has - hence my certainty. We're not talking about potential here.

Streveler's a known commodity with the experience and stats to show that he's currently superior when compared to someone who's basically a rookie.

We know what Streveler brings to the table. The same cannot be said for Wilson, at least not yet.

Ted Goveia takes Bombers US scout Cyril Penn with him to Hammytown, Danny Mac is the last man standing.

Typed too fast, Bombers add 3, including former Esks. GM Brock Sunderland.

Solid adds that should replace those departed to Steeltown. We're in good shape

Not having Willie or Trey ford done up yet is concerning.

Willie just was re-signed. Trey Ford is in Edmonton  ( lol ) but as a few of us have mentioned, we don't expect Tyrell Ford back.

Evan Holm next please. Then Lawler or Schoen.

I meant Tyrell.

Those are very import choices but I think Dobson might be more important due to being a Canadian. However, any one of those 4 next and I'll be happy.

Farhan reporting 200k for Willie, which matches his salary from last year.

I think it's actually Tre Ford.

Tres bien.

Word on the forum last season was Willie had taken a slight restructure discount and was more like $180?  So a slight bump for '25?

I hope the CFL has been bumping up the cap to account for the extreme inflation since 'vid.

I suspect we are no longer the place players want to sign anymore.

Ya, winning the most games in the West every year and going to the cup every year and having great facilities and family support really puts a downer on signing FAs...
