Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season
His interview with Tait actually gives you a lot of the answers you are looking for. The team/MOS had his back and were in contact with him all of 2022, even though he was no longer under contract. He acknowledges his decision might not have been the one the other players made but they supported him regardless. He says his desire to play has only grown during his time away and the support he got from the team. https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/01/18/theres-a-fire-i-feel-it-eli-returns-for-3-years-in-blue-gold/

That's the general consensus from what I've seen on social media... despite their reputations from when they were younger, Jay & Mark were/are good people and even better family men. Jay was driving his two daughters back from a cheerleading competition when they got in to this accident. Both girls suffered serious injuries and one is potentially paralyzed so it's a pretty devastating situation for their family.

Having buy-in from the vets on the team helps too. We have a number of guys who could get more through FA but choose to take less to play here.- Covid-19

My exact thoughts when I read that s**t last night. I guarantee he would not be saying that if Rourke was with any other team. I hope he enjoys having VAJ as the starting QB next season.- Random News Items

The way this regime drafts/develops OL, it's not as big of hit as it would be for some teams. We didn't miss a beat when Goossen retired or when Chung left. As mentioned, we have guys already in place to slide in, should Couture not be back. I don't know that we actually have too many draft picks we're waiting on at the moment. Looking at the picks from 2020-22, most are already here or have been sent packing. Cole Adamson is the only one I can think of that I'd consider an up and comer. 2020: Noah Hallett, Brendan O’Leary-Orange, Marc Liegghio, Nicholas Dheilly, Kyle Rodger, Tanner Cadwallader, Bleska Kambamba 2021: Liam Dobson, Redha Kramdi, Patrice Rene, Robbie Lowes, Kyle Borsa, Shae Weekes 2022: Tyrell Ford, Cole Adamson, Chris Ciguineau, Jeremy Kapelanski, Cedrick Lavigne, Konner Burtenshaw- Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season

He's not CEO but he is back in charge as executive chairman. He, as controlling shareholder, essentially replaced the board of directors and they elected him to the position. His daughter resigned as chairwoman and co-CEO. Vince and his longtime right hand man Nick Khan are running the show again.- 2022/2023 Off-Season (League/Non-Bombers-specific News)

I don't think Demski is in line for a huge pay bump. He was already the highest paid Canadian receiver at 165k and 4th receiver overall (tied with Ellingson & Burnham) so I'm not sure how much higher he could really expect to go. https://3downnation.com/2022/03/17/cfls-receiver-salaries-for-2022-season/- NFL thread
He's in year one of a 4 year guaranteed contract (worth over $13 million) so no. Even if that wasn't the case, his status as a first round pick means he'll get a ton of chances down there.- Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season

Crazy bronze medal game going on right now. 2nd & 3rd period were all offense with 13 goals scored. Jets picks Lucius had 2 goals while McGroaty had what looked to be the game winner with a minute and a half left until the Swedes tied it up short handed. Spoke too soon! Lucius with the hat trick to claim the bronze medal.
