Those "insider" articles are becoming more and more laughable. No one talks about Rogers? Who are they listening to? And WHY TF would Ottawa let their biggest FA walk away without playing a single down, under a HC who has publicly stated He has wanted to work with him for years? Anyway 3down is really becoming hard to read/take seriously. I hope they figure it out asap.

I hope they figure it out asap. 3DN got **** on pretty good by some *legitimate* media the other day for their shoddy piece on the league not doing enough right now to ensure the government is on board for a new season.....tells me all I need to know about 3DN. People that matter don't really respect it. It's not really worth your clicks.
January 15, 20214 yr comment_494656 3DN - Like any quality media organization, it needs strong editor and leadership. They just don't have that now to hold themselves accountable.
January 15, 20214 yr comment_494669 From Farhan Lalji on Twitter... Shocked to hear that Adam Bighill’s contract for 2021 is 115k (down from 260k). I know he has strong business interests in Winnipeg, but is speaks volumes for the atmosphere Mike O’Shea has created with #Bombers that a player would take that much less to stay there. @CFLonTSN 1/2 ...and if there is an off-season GM of the year award, it goes to Kyle Walters. @andrewharris33, @Bighill44, @Stmn_Willie_Bmn, @Demski9, @ZCollaros7, Bryant, Hardrick, Gray, Antigha, Jeffcoat, Thomas, Maston all back under manageable deals. Most of the heavy lifting already done!
January 15, 20214 yr comment_494675 Only four more guys I would really like see back now Medlock, Nuefeld, Richardson and Lawler. Although might be able to get a WR in FA looks like Eric Rogers might be available.
January 15, 20214 yr comment_494676 That's quite the job that Walters et al have done this off season winning and atmosphere goes a long way
January 15, 20214 yr comment_494680 I'm a little late to post today but the news that Harris is back is fantastic. Biggie took a cut of over 50%? Wow!
January 15, 20214 yr comment_494683 To celebrate, the Bomber Store is offering 33% off, today only. No other discounts will be applied.
January 15, 20214 yr comment_494689 So with the remaining Bombers FAs, I like these 3 signed and I'm good, the rest will be a bonus. 1) OL Neufeld (or Speller) 2) DT Richardson 3) and DB Exume

January 15, 20214 yr Author comment_494697 Would really like to see Meddy re-upped but also understand if he's ready to call 'er a day and spend more time with the fam down south. Other than that, load up on the OL. I know Eric Rogers was mentioned as a potential target in FA, but another name to watch out for would be Greg Ellingson, who the Bombers have had interest in before and still hasn't re-upped in Edmonton. Having said that, I don't see FA being a big money bonanza this year, as it has in past years. With everyone taking haircuts to stay with their existing team, who's gonna be getting a big cheque??
January 15, 20214 yr comment_494699 It would be nice if Rempel came back too. I'm sure if he wants to, the Bombers will get him signed.
January 15, 20214 yr Author comment_494702 Peterman is a guy I really want back, but if I was him, I'd absolutely be looking at FA as a way to find a starting role. The guy is good enough to be a starting WR/SB in this league, but is stuck behind some pretty good players in Wpg.

January 15, 20214 yr comment_494707 Any word on Grant and Kongbo who tried the NFL and I don't believe either of them stuck.

Kongbo was bought out by the 49ers after getting injured. I haven't heard anything from him since then. Would be a nice surprise though! I didn't even hear the nature of his injury.

January 15, 20214 yr comment_494712 Do you guys think there will be a big exodus to the NFL this offseason.. I'm thinking a guy like Kenny Lawler might want to give it a shot. I just think that missing a year of football might make it harder for guys like him to land a contract.

He could of signed with NFL already. He was one of the guys that was released after season was cancled.
January 15, 20214 yr comment_494722 Wow biggie taking a massive pay cut... kudos to Walter's but more so the players banding together when it counts. That means you too, Willie and Zach.
