Lawler was our leading receiver last year. He's got 1000 yards written all over him now that he's an established player. I'd hate to lose him after two years of development.

Fajardo would be the goalie. Because he likes goal posts as well.

Lots of experience in our secondary. I just hope that some of the prospects push them for a spot.

All of Walters hard work has me like

Rogers struggled at times. He would miss an entire week of practice but Dickenson would insert him in the lineup last minute. He's never been 100% as a player since he was injured & came back. He's had a lot of "maintenance days" with the Stamps where he wouldn't even be at practice as he stayed home resting. He's older, Now he's missed an entire season. As a guy who suffered a similar injury to Rogers years ago & had a knee replacement in 2019, I know that these type of bad knee injures never get better with rest. They get worse with age as the knee joint deteriorates & arthritis sets in. He may feel fine now with time off but the daily pounding of practice & games eventually takes its toll. An 18 game season is a long process. Plus he's one bad tackle or hit from being finished as a player. He was a phenomenal receiver & may have still been playing with the Niners still had he not been injured. He's not the same player he was a few years ago. So, should he get a huge CFL salary in these financially unsure days? Any team that pays him will be taking on a big risk. John Hufnagel is very good at knowing when it's time to replace aging & expensive veterans. When it's time to go. We'll see if that happens.

Not a lot of holes to fill, only 4 (projected) starter spots remains vacant as of the moment RG - still waiting for Neufeld or Speller; Gray and Eli (and a draft pick) may have the opportunity SB - Lawler is a free-agent and maybe looking for other opportunities elsewhere. We also have lots of receivers on the roster. Rogers and Ellingson will be available in free-agency though DT - still waiting for Richardson; there are new guys on the roster. how 'bout a free-agent DT? Boundary HB - Sayles moved on so do we. Who we got from our new guys? or are we waiting for a veteran DB in free-agency?

there’s our other cornerback 👍

I heard that they waived Nedeljkovic and were worried they would lose him, so picked up Forsberg as contingency depth.

Peguis isn't in the North and, as of earlier this week, there were no cases linked to gatherings during the holidays on the reserve at Peguis.

From Farhan Lalji on Twitter... Shocked to hear that Adam Bighill’s contract for 2021 is 115k (down from 260k). I know he has strong business interests in Winnipeg, but is speaks volumes for the atmosphere Mike O’Shea has created with #Bombers that a player would take that much less to stay there. @CFLonTSN 1/2 ...and if there is an off-season GM of the year award, it goes to Kyle Walters. @andrewharris33, @Bighill44, @Stmn_Willie_Bmn, @Demski9, @ZCollaros7, Bryant, Hardrick, Gray, Antigha, Jeffcoat, Thomas, Maston all back under manageable deals. Most of the heavy lifting already done!

Wonder if his age and the fact well it's been a year without playing was a factor. Love AH33 but.. he's not a young guy anymore.

The hospital numbers are the important one. Restrictions can't or won't and certainly shouldn't be lifted until hospital numbers are lower and we are in single digit numbers.

Not seen it but just suspect she's went loco.

That was a major mistake for Pallister, and people died because of it.

Yeah, you expect 3 days off after playing 5/6 in 7/9 days but not at the start of the season basically.

I so liked how he summed it up for the few rioters that helped protect him to give time for his partner to get him out. 'Thank you but f#ck you for being here.' Perfectly said.

Yea maybe in this present CFL economy we no longer have the luxury of signing depth.

BRIGGS, Jesse N LB CALVER, Brandon N LB EXUME, Kerfalla-Emmanuel N DB FEOLI GUDINO, Julian N WR GRANT, Janarion A WR LATOUR, Maxime N LS LAWLER, Kenny A WR LYLES, Chris A DB MEDLOCK, Justin A K MILES, Thomas N LB NEUFELD, Patrick N OL PETERMANN, Daniel N WR REMPEL, Chad N LS RICHARDSON, Steven A DL RUSH , John N LB SPELLER, Cody N OL WHITEHEAD, Lucky A WR .... Updated with JJ off the board. I was convinced that he was already signed and almost took him off yesterday, when I posted this list but, after checking, realized I was wrong (or just too early ;)).

What a dumb a$$.

Before watched the 1st 2 episodes, I had heard that the series starts slow but kicks it up a notch starting with episode 3. Definitely intrigued by where they are going to go with this.

Well, those 2 shows cleared up nothing....

They have fans writing articles like what positions would various Saskatchewan Roughriders play if they were NHL hockey players.

He played 17 games in 2019. And with a full year rest everyone should be 💯.

Cold. Since his knee injury he hasn't been able to play or practice a full season. Do you pay a guy (in a tough market financially) full price for maybe 10 games a season & having to be rested to make a playoff run?? What if he's needed down the stretch to get into the playoffs & then can't compete at 100% in the playoffs? I know John Hufnagel is thinking the same thing. That has to be a big reason he hasn't signed yet.

Pretty sure Richardson, Exume and Lucky are all back in fold this year, just a matter of the higher priced guys needing to restructure first to see what we have to play with. I'd like to think Meddy is gonna chill for a while, but is only a phone call away if needed...I know he's been training like he normally would tho, so could be wrong there. With Gray, Desjarlais, Couture, Eli all in the fold with the 2 tackles it's gonna be one of Speller or Nuefeld, tho seeing what Biggie did to stay here. I could easily see Neufeld doing the exact same, as thats the type of guy he is, and he loves it here. Peterman will be back east..too bad, but can't keep them all and he is a luxury more than a need..and no room for him and he isn't displacing Woli or Demski and signing the U of M kid kinda leads to him being the cheaper backup

Only thing that #restartmb helped was the mortuary business.

I believe Rasheed Baily has signed.......Kenny Lawler would be nice BUT with Rogers and Ellingson out there who knows

Exume is on my list. I would love to see him stay and develop.

If you can keep Laine protected on the second line because the top line matches up the other team's checking line, you're golden all year long. That's why splitting 55 and 29 is a good thing. He can get just as many minutes and just as many scoring opportunities on the 2nd line. If they start running the checking line out against 29, that gives the "top" line more chances.

Kind of annoying that there is such a long break between games.

Peterman is a guy I really want back, but if I was him, I'd absolutely be looking at FA as a way to find a starting role. The guy is good enough to be a starting WR/SB in this league, but is stuck behind some pretty good players in Wpg.

I’d like Petermann back in the fold.

Not to mention that Peguis got s**t on by other FN's for their decision.

Please show me where the North encouraged Xmas gatherings?

Subtext: We were such a disaster for so long, our government completely botching the restrictions, that we were already in a full Code Red for a month and a half before Xmas came and so, only by our mismanagement of the pandemic, we were in lockdown. We remain a shameful embarrassment.

So Farhan tweeted this: @FarhanLaljiTSN @Stmn_Willie_Bmn got a 205K contract with 100K signing bonus and it wasn't acrimonious. I'm surprised he didn't get more. It's a pretty good deal for Winnipeg." To which Jefferson replied Yea man we just trying to build a dynasty over here!!!! I just love this tweet and Jefferson.

to all the racists screaming about the reserves getting early access to the vaccine....THIS is why....... Ugh. Poor buggers.

I know of exactly 1 29 year old career 3rd stringer-turned-starter, Mr Fajardo, and you sir, are no Khari Jones.......

Fajardo has figured out how to read CFL defenses & finding the extra 12th man which means he's a legit starter. I mean, we're expecting the same big things from Sean McGuire as a fanbase ourselves. I've seen qbs who initially struggled become productive starters & champions. Some guys take longer than others. Just playing Devil's Advocate here & giving the other side of the story. I've seen inexperienced qbs who initially looked lost on the field suddenly figure it out & become league champions, award winners & all stars. If anyone here remembers Dieter Brock's first start against Edmonton in 1974 you know what I mean.

Here's to two more years of building these kind of memories.

Ah, a Mike Mercury fan.
