CFL (Non-Bombers) off-season news

[Blue In BC]

interesting, he's experienced and a NAT--did he play tackle or end?? I m thinking he's a step up on and NAT DL we have right now--our weakest position group on our roster.

I'm not sure if he'd accept a low SMS. Perhaps worth a call but we're expecting Gathouth to be at TC shortly. Only so many roster spots and ability to pay SMS to veterans.

Nah, he's old and busted.

Nah, he's old and busted.

Often the case with players that had success in the NFL, they rarely become stars in the CFL.

Nah, he's old and busted.

I'm not sure about the old and busted. He's a year older than Ceresna. I'm not familiar with his injury history but he could well be done.

He also made $8.6M usd during his NFL career, so a CFL salary may no longer be of interest.

A few interesting early cuts around the league.

-Hamilton Tiger-Cats cut CFL veteran Keaton Bruggeling
-Argos cut quarterback Jarret Doege, defensive lineman Thiadric Hansen, linebacker Jordan Herdman-Reed,
-Elks cut former Bison QB Jackson Tachinski trying out as a WR.

The Bombers would come out ahead if they dumped their 3 backup import QBs and grabbed Jarret Doege right away, he would give them the smart experienced backup they need while Elgersma develops.

Doege.  Pass.

All those guys.  Pass.

There's a reason they're being cut.  I bet Wilson could win as many games for us as Doege, should Zach go down -- so why make the change?  We're trying to move to a good future, not a meh status quo.  Neither Wilson nor Doege is that future.
