Bomber Free Agents

I'd take Dukes out of that list.

Hands down the best option on that list.

Ditto.

I wouldn't mind Masoli either for all that experience for a backup role. Get a ring before he retires.

Is he healthy enough, though? I have to think his mobility is shot.

[Pigskin]

Don't think so, they re-signed Crum and still have Tyrie Adams in reserve.

Dan Ralph from the Canadian Press reporting that Shiltz has a agreed to join Ottawa as there fourth QB going into camp.

I thought I heard he was good to go but if that's not correct then no, I wouldn't want anyone still recovering from an injury as our insurance policy. Maybe tie a physical to any sort of offer.

[Pigskin]

I would also like to see Dukes here.

Masoli played some last season and from what I recall he didn't really do anything well, thought he would demonstrate an ability to move the ball but he looked very mediocre. From Ottawa's perspective they gave him all the time he needed to recover but they don't have a use for him moving forward.

I'd also bring in Dukes and let him battle Wilson for the future QB job, I think either could be the short yardage QB and would rather keep both over Dolegala.

I don't think Dukes, or Patterson, or Masoli is going to be the answer here.

Wilson gets his shot to show he's got what the management team sees in him, and there will be new arms in camp.

There are going to be some unsigned CFL experienced QB's available through the season if injuries happen.  Might even be able to trade for one if need be.  I don't think we need to roster a "just in case" almost good enough QB for the year.  Unless he's OK with a PR spot because he just wants to play ball.

I haven't seen word on how Streveler is recovering yet... I think most people will say that ship has sailed, but it would be interesting to see him under Jackson...

It wouldn't surprise me if they gave Strev. another shot just based on loyalty, he can be the unofficial party captain heading into the home Grey Cup.

I still like Dolegala from a developmental standpoint. He put up fairly good numbers on a shaky Riders offense in year one. Now he's had time some time to learn in a few different places.

That's kind of the ideal developmental path if you ask me. I'm glad we have him and I think he's going in this year if Collaros misses time.

[peg_city]

Problem with Delegala is he a pocket passer and you need a really good Oline for him to be functional.

[GOLDMEMBER]

I would love to see Dukes here. Masoli not so much.

[dd]

I'd like to see us bring in either Patterson or Dukes, someone who's young and mobile. Dukes sorta fell out of favour in Toronto, and they just signed Arbuckle, so maybe....

[TBURGESS]

Kicking the tires on Masoli would probably put him on the IR. No interest at all from me.

This is absolutely the year of all years where we need exactly this. Unless of course we can sign another starter for backup pay (which is why I was suggesting Masoli potentially being of interest).

So, what I am hearing is that the Bombers will have a window between the communication window and start of FA to circle back and match or out bid Lawler's offer from Hamilton. I am wondering with this extra salary cap money if Walters takes another run at Lawler.

That's very interesting. What a unique method of negotiation for both Walters and Lawler. If Kyle has the money and can lock up a blue chip receiver like Lawler I don't see why he wouldn't match the Ticats bid. Well, then again, I suppose if Kyle figures he has the next Lawler locked up for less already he might hold off but that's a wild thought.

Exactly. Didn't we learn our lesson in the Grey Cup?? We need a bonafide, can run the offense decent #2 Qb who can come in and win us game, just like Arbuckle did for the Argos. We need that.... especially this year at home....with an aging Collaros who may retire after this season...forget chasing Lawler, get a #2 Qb, get an OL to replace Dobson, or heck, match the offer Hammy gave to him and get him back, but going on with Wilson is going to get his shot at #2 is not a good plan. You could see the minute Alexander got in the game for Montreal he had what it takes to maybe be a #1, I didn't get that seeing Wilson stumble and fumble around, he looked lost, and Alexander had zero reps coming into the first game he played in and delivered.
