Cut Down Day

[gobombersgo]

Dixon and Jenkins both made the roster, surprised linebacker Ja'Kobe Clinton didn't make the PR, couldn't have done more.

Kinda surprised they disposed of the the new kicker and punter, both showed promise.

Where did WR Daniel Oladejo come from, was he even in camp?

The Bombers also announced the signing of Canadian receiver Daniel Oladejo, adding him to the practice roster. The 26-year-old was a second-round pick in the 2023 CFL Draft. He has since dressed for 18 regular-season CFL games with the Redblacks and Alouettes, making four catches for 38 yards.

Randolph cut obviously the price for signing Broxton.  He wasn't going to take a PR spot, after being a starter.  He'll catch on somewhere.

I don't know.  I don't think Rand is the next McGloster.  Unlike McGloster, we gave Rand much more time & snaps to prove himself.  Vant's going to have to show even more in '26 or he'll be the next one cut.

We're just really bad at scouting IMP OL talent.  FA is the only way we ever get anyone good.

A day later and I'm still thinking about the changes. A few players moved to the PR that were not entirely a surprise and had been part of earlier discussions ( Peterson for example ).

What did surprise me is that from all the DB's looked at and brought to camp, not one survived to make the PR as depth. Williams made the AR but depth is a group of Canadians.

The 2nd surprise was that another import receiver didn't make the AR. Obviously this was long discussed as a ratio issue. I'm still not sure if this means 3 import OL if Eli is injured.

The roster has some extra players at the moment and it's not clear which are headed to the reserve list or IR.

Not many import rookies made the roster as starters.

Vaval will take snaps when needed, and Texada is on PR.  I think we're fine at DB, but I agree with the thought of do we need all 4 of Kelly/Stuart/Ball/Hallet?

I'm surprised one of Singer/Fredericksen isn't on the AR considering we're fine ratio wise as of now...

Secondary depth is concerning too. Looks like every position is an injury away from disaster.

Excited about Jenkins/Dixon. D-line depth should be in a good spot this year. Lb group looks pretty solid too.

If Eli is injured and we're playing Elsbury at C, that might account for both Singer and Fredrickson on the PR. We have seen any IR moves yet, but you would think if Vaval is out, Singer would come in.

Yes I missed Texada on the PR but Vaval hasn't been practising so he may end up on IR for a bit? We saw what Kelly and Stuart looked like during pre-season. That wasn't good. Also not sure if Ball is injured or where he fits in.

Allen is also probably headed to IR according to earlier comments. That may be why we have both Dixon and Jenkins on the AR at the moment.

We need injury clarification and who is going to the reserve list.
