February 13, 20187 yr comment_318741 News that will make a lot of people here very happy and even make their FA day.... John Hodge is reporting that Hurl will not be back with the Bombers next year.
February 13, 20187 yr comment_318742 @JohnDHodge 2m2 minutes ago More I can confirm that linebacker Sam Hurl will not be returning the #Bombers in 2018. #CFL
February 13, 20187 yr comment_318758 I find it interesting. Here we are several hours after the start, and none of the Bomber free agents have signed elsewhere as yet. Yes there are rumours, and yes some likely will, but I suspect that the money isn't much greater than what they may have been offered here. Either that or they are trying to get the Bombers to match what they are being offered because perhaps it's not so bad here.

Westerman, for sure but who else? Heath?
February 13, 20187 yr comment_318763 Jake Thomas is one guy who would be nice to re-sign in case we need to go Canadian at DT.

I don't have inside info, but I'm sure they would have put an offer in front of Bond, Heath, Normand, Thomas and Westerman. Clearly not enough to get it done, but I don't believe they would have said "off you go" without some kind of offer. They may have said "we don't see you in our future" to Denmark, JFG, Hurl, and Knox, although they may have made a specialty team offer to Hurl with a significant pay cut.

Westerman is going to kick himself in November of 2018 if he doesn't re-sign here.

It was reported on Twitter today (I believe Jeff Hamilton, but don't quote me..) that the Bombers offered Westerman "a very healthy offer" and he turned them down...
February 13, 20187 yr comment_318779 I don't begrudge players looking to get the most money they can, but at the same time, sometimes it's better to just not expect too much and take the good deal in the good situation. Otherwise you could end up like Dennis over in gapperland where your big contract gets ripped up when you don't earn it.

It seems like only yesterday that Coach would sing Hurl’s praises like he was a cross between Rain Man and **** Butkus...a MLB with such vision and understanding of our system that he doesn’t need to rack up those gaudy stats (tackles) in order to hold a position of glory on the field. Now he’s not coming back? I guess the experiment failed.

A blind deaf mute could tell Hurl was in over his head and was nothing more than a speedbump in the middle.
February 14, 20187 yr comment_318933 His assurances that he won’t throw an individual under the bus is probably a big reason guys love playing here, so I’ll take it. hurl is gone. Works for me.

Seems like really good players want to be here.
