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.

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.

Quote from: bluengold204 on January 09, 2025, 07:48:08 PMI 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...

Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on January 09, 2025, 04:06:45 PMLess than 40% chance Strev. saves the day I think. Thing is, even if Strev. was healthy I doubt they would have taken Zach out

Maybe. But 10% chance Zach saves the day with no finger. 5% chance Wilson saves the day. 4% chance Dolegala saves the day.

So the 40% chance Strev saves that GC would have been a stellar option in comparison.

I have no doubt in my mind that had they put Zach back in with Strev available, they would have pulled him for good after his first duck INT.
