    Allow me to re-phrase my earlier post for the pedantic newcomer... The Winnipeg Bombers have now signed all of their 2017 draft picks with the exception of Geoff Gray.  Gray is currently under co

But, was Bennett offered a contract/opportunity with the Bombers? Presuming that they really wanted him, the Bombers could have gotten a deal done, no?

If I was trying to explain why (without knowing the truth) Bennett would sign in Saskatchewan instead of here, it's pretty easy to make the point that he's got a more direct route to more reps in Saskatchewan.

And that makes sense from his point of view.

But would that really be a surprise to the Bombers? Were they really surprised that he left for Saskatchewan, given an opportunity?

I think it's safe to assume that the Bombers didn't want Bennett.

There was no surprise.  Saskatchewan didn't steal Bennett.  He was a free agent.

Was just looking at brown dude looks like a monster. 6'2  4 years in college 45 games 22 starts (imagine he played nickel a good bit with his size, tackles and starts-games player) 123 tackles, 4.5 TFL, 6 picks, 1 forced fumble 3 fumble recoveries, oh and 28 pass knock downs. 28 KDs in 22 starts / 45 games is pretty crazy.

Didn't realize he actually played 11 games as a backup with Hamilton last year. Glad he's in with us now, he's got a good shot at being a starter here. Just needs an opportunity.

yeah I remember him signing there. I was disappointed he didn't end up back here. But I guess we were kind of full on the LB spot then. Glad he's here now though!!

At very worst he replaces burnett as a back up di and teams monster. Similar high up side but much more of a natural LBer and MLBer at that. Just what the Doctor ordered. Really like this move a lot. Need some more young guys to push him in camp but its a great low risk high reward move. One more DT and our front 7 are dramatically improved.

I like the LeFevour signing. Not my favourite backup QB but better than no competition at TC.

Pretty much. Im a bit more fond of it i guess. The difference in quality among the legit no2s available is pretty thin imop.

This really seems to be the bomber prototype for a QB. Good size, strong, athletic, comes from a spread offense.
