Give a guy like Gause a full year to get used to Canadian game. 

I hope that Gause gives Bighill a run for his money. Gause has all the credentials.

I doubt it. Only Hamilton signs big name players to ride the bench.

Kyle Walters not ******* around this year.

Walters... in tandem with Rigmaiden most likely made it happen...In any case we sure got better and we should be a force in the West...Sky is the limit and we look very formidable to any offence in this league....Great move

How happy is O'Shea right now a MLB built in his likeness 

Huge news. This is a day maker. This makes our defense so much better.

 

I’m happy we don’t have the pieces of garbage Durant and Henoc on our team. That gives us the money to sign him.

I thought 1 year contracts were taboo. Either way, we just became even more serious Grey Cup contenders.

The only issue, I see 

#2 QB - experience-wise. 
2nd WR starter - experience-wise 
LG - how long will Neufeld remains healthy.

On D. we're complete.

No, seriously. Are 2 year contracts just for entry level or rookie players? Can veteran players still sign for 1 year? I just want to know.

Quote

Fans, players and of course executives have gotten used to these frantic days in February, when several of the CFL’s most popular players are granted the opportunity to negotiate with other teams and move freely about the country.

Of course, it wasn’t always like this.

Two years ago witnessed drastic change in modern day free agency in the CFL, with the new collective bargaining agreement allowing one-year contracts for veterans

Yes that's right.

Bighill and JSK make a hell of a duo for WIL and MAC.  Hard to see how Wild sticks around.

Huge!

Unless Richie Hall just uses him to fill gaps Sam Hurl style.

I thought it might be both flanders and wild actually.

Thanks for clearing that up. It gets confusing at times.

Great signing! Love having an all star quality MLB. Best signing of the offseason IMO and this is an off season that included signing Bowman. Gotta think that we will be able to stop the run this year. Heck, we should be a dominant defence with 11 NI starters and 2 or 3 DI's. Hall should look like a genius.

Could Flanders bring any sort of return in a possible trade? Hell even a meg list player would be great.

Oh, please God no... Can't stand the thought of that if Ritchie is still left in charge. 

 

 

 

We should all thank Darian Durant for making the ultimate sacrifice & retiring so we could sign Bighill. Darian, the ultimate team player. Never thinking of himself. Just what is best for the Bombers.  

Blue Bombers projected (by me) 2018 training camp depth chart:

I would think that Clarke has the upper hand over Walker at half for right now but other than that, mostly agreed. I just pray to every deity in existence that Lankford is nowhere near this final roster. 

Also, JSK hopefully starts over Wild. 

Love it. 😁

Bighill is a massive signing and also another example of how the culture of the club has completely changed in which elite players have zero issues signing with our club. 

What fantastic news signing Bighill. MLB issues solved. Woo Hoo!!
