Its hard for a MLBer to deserve to be the highest paid defensive player in the league. Now should the bombers be willing to over pay, and or risk a cap wrist slap? I would say yes. Our vet talent is peaking. We cant expect 2+ years more at this level for a bunch of guys. We no longer have a proven vet back up qb, we have the cap room and we have missed out on 3 major impact mlbers. Bear woods twice in the past year and a bit. Randle is 29 dressler is 32 harris is 31 mo is 31 bryant is 32 nichols is 31. Dressler has had his injury problems, mo is coming off one of the biggest injuries in football (short to medium term/career term) Nichols got banged up a bit last year with a better ol in front of him then right now. It is reasonable to expect that in 2 years half those guys will be gone. + the possibility that some one like poop could be gone in that time range to the nfl as well. (idr the length of his contract*) Now is the time to risk it and make the moves to win today. Im not saying empty the cupboards and go all in, but we need to be a buyer. Not a seller or inactive.

That title currently belongs to Solomon Elimimian, which means a Bighill return to B.C. will require a "Hometown Discount" which might happen as Bighill's wife is from Vancouver and Bighill kinda owes BC for taking a fine for letting him go to the Saints.

May 16, 20187 yr comment_330173 Two more DB's down, it sounds like the Bombers may be experiencing a few no-shows on the first day of camp. Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 14m14 minutes ago Winnipeg has transferred Internarional defensive back Travis Howard to the retired list and released International defensive back Ezra Robinson. #Bombers
May 16, 20187 yr comment_330174 Johnny Augustine! I remember he was being talked about as a first or second round pick in 2017, then nothing came of it.

More Canadian depth at runningback can’t hurt. With our depth at Canadian receiver being pretty raw we might see LeFrance/Harris on the field at the same time with one being more of a slotback. So having more Canadian depth on the roster at runningback may be essential. It’s not a bad idea to for the team to give itself options.
May 16, 20187 yr comment_330181 Pressley had a very impressive TC with the Vikings in 2016. Highlight reel stuff. If not for some very impressive depth ahead of him he may have made that team. Could be a sleeper pick for surprise of TC.

May 16, 20187 yr comment_330187 Just now, tracker said: They certainly didn't last too long. It' all numbers, Bombers are at the point of having to delete players in order to add new ones, so hard decisions have to be made....sometimes before they even touch the field.

May 16, 20187 yr comment_330191 I for one am glad that Rich doesn't handle membership the way the Bombers are handling DBs thus far.😀

May 17, 20187 yr comment_330314 jhurell pressley reminds me a lot of keith stokes. Excellent speed and speed tool set. A guy who will bounce around and run backwards a mile to try and gain an inch. Doesnt look like he has the power to truck over guys, but does run hard and isnt brought down easily or by arm tackles. Gets up to speed quick too. He might be the biggest threat to take some ones job as a DI returning kicks. And would give us even better depth at RB. The fact he catches the ball out of the back field well is a bonus too. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/jhurell-pressley?id=2556233 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKEPa2P1ojk
