All the time, usually imports about to be cut anyway.  

Well I didnt know that.  I suppose my assumption that it was rare means....wait for it...I was wrong.

Bowman was making $140K anyone know what his bonus was? In other words... how much have we already paid him and how much SMS room do we save?

If Montreal throws to Bowman early and often and puts up with his drops, he can be an asset. We didn't use him that way.

It would be crazy to have Harris, Flanders and Demski all on the field at the same time.  All can run, catch and block.  You could run some crazy misdirection there, toss in Streveler in a package too.  Real hard to defend.

Somehow I had a feeling Walters would do this after seeing Reed break the bank on Manziel.  Well, guess paddlehands will be dropping balls for him now.

Play Petermann in the spot and see how he does.  Dude plays angry!

Am high on this kid, think he is a baller

1. We can't have an "on-paper"  5'-10" receiving corp

2. Grey Cup is what I predicted.  I was wrong.

3. Chris Matthews is 28 years old and available.  Let's try sign him.

Considering the giving mood Kavis Reed was in yesterday its a bit surprising Kyle Walters wasn't able to get more of a return. (Sort of kidding)

His pocket is almost empty already

Sorry to see Bowman go. Still don't know if this is scheme related using Bowman as more of a decoy to open up others or he just wasn't getting open or thrown to? Turns out we could have used that money for another player regarding the salary cap.

Until they determine that Thomkins, Washington, Lankford, Petermann or Simonese can't fill the gap I'd prefer they hold off on bringing in more bodies.

I didn't say they were going to bring in another reciever.

Simonise and Washington are both 6'4.  So im not too worried about it.

Darvin is around 6’1

All for the best that Bowman was sent packing....I thought when we signed him he would fit in nicely with Adams and give the opposition fits....The only fits that happened were the conniption fits the fans were having watching his pathetic effort...Montreal gets a vet. receiver for Johnny to throw to and we get to free up some cash...That's about it except now we have a spot to put in an actual receiver...or could we be thinking Flanders...hmmmmmmmmmmm

So Flanders, Thompkins or Washington?

I'm hoping for Thompkins, From the little I've seen from him he looks like a real baller.

Okay....but how do you suppose this will be interpreted in the context of a discussion about Bowman?

"Hanging on to an aging wr who clearly can't catch making $140k a season is a waste and we'll likely make a signing during NFL camp cuts."

Think using Flanders Pettermann and Simonise combo might work for the open spot.

Haven't been a fan of Bowman, but this isn't a win for us. A conditional 8th? Lol

HAS to be cap-related 

It's on condition that he catches one pass in the 2018 season... we're doomed.

I meant they'll likely relocate those funds in another position, if you interpreted that as they'd sign another reciever that's fine and they may do that if they're not happy with what they have on the bench right now.

Personally I haven't watched enough practice to know that for sure but to rely on the two Canadians they drafted this year (those are the only other recievers we've seen at this point) to come in and fill an import reciever pos I think would be foolish as some have suggested.

I'd like to see them start Thompkins or Washington this week, I'd rather see Thompkins but they know better than I do.

Can someone frame this     I honestly thought the Bombers would win the Grey Cup before you would ever say those words!

Not frame worthy.

Now if it was Tburgess was saying it... "Start the car, grab the frame, mount it and save it forever!"

From the Coach's Show it sounds like O'Shea will be holding auditions to replace Bowman, he mentioned Lankford, Thompkins, Washington and Simonese.  No mention of Petermann and doesn't sound like he would consider Flanders as a replacement as he's too similar in style to Demski and Harris.
