December 23, 201311 yr comment_33877 I don't mind it, hes a solid player and he seems like a good guy but I'm a little surprised with the pageantry considering that wasn't exactly an area of weakness and he's not exactly a star. I don't recall off season press conferences being held for anyone but QBs around here. The Vega signing was announced in a press release - not at a press conference. There is a press conference later this morning.

December 23, 201311 yr comment_33884 I'm excited to see a player who's excited to be here, even if there's that girlfriend thing. His comments and actions (and tweets) all along showed his dedication to the Bombers and we're that much better to have him back. Viva to having Vega.
December 23, 201311 yr comment_33887 Hopefully we can bring Alex Hall back into the fold if he stays in the CFL.
December 23, 201311 yr comment_33888 wow that's really anti-climactic.Vega is a great signing. Awesome leadership guy I don't mind it, hes a solid player and he seems like a good guy but I'm a little surprised with the pageantry considering that wasn't exactly an area of weakness and he's not exactly a star. I don't recall off season press conferences being held for anyone but QBs around here.that being said, definitely a solid addition to the team. To a common fan who only reads headlines, a player returning from the NFL after a full year hiatus is probably a pretty big deal. Good point. You're right.
December 23, 201311 yr comment_33894 Vega is solid and IMO we missed him last year. Good move and it does speak well that he chose to come back here ...
December 23, 201311 yr comment_33896 Great news, excited to get him back - we didn't own his rights anymore right? So he chose to come back. Says a lot about him and the team, Imo. His long-term girlfriend also lives in Winnipeg. Good, Winnipeg chicks should really work harder on locking some of these guys down.... Jacquie?
December 23, 201311 yr comment_33897 Quality signing. Vega was hugely under-rated by a large number of people .. good to see him back in Blue and Gold.
December 23, 201311 yr comment_33900 The only thing that would have been better about Jason's signing is that if it would have happened 10 days ago on…Friday the 13th.
December 23, 201311 yr comment_33904 Hopefully we can bring Alex Hall back into the fold if he stays in the CFL. Considering Vega and Turner probably didn't come cheap, I doubt this happens. Defensive end is easy to recruit. Not sure how I'd feel about paying three guys handsomely on the defensive line potentially. The distribution could be better.

Defensive end is easy to recruit. Not sure how I'd feel about paying three guys handsomely on the defensive line potentially. The distribution could be better. Word is the Bombers were $200k under the salary cap for 2013. I'd assume a big chunk of that is going towards signing Turner and Vega to extensions. Smart move by Walters to get guys signed in 2013 to free up cap money for 2014.
December 23, 201311 yr comment_33911 I consider this a big and very good signing. Hopefully we see more moves like this for our o line

I'm afraid those days are behind me. I would have to use the "I'll be your Winnipeg mother" angle to hook any of them. But I'll support your efforts however I can.
December 23, 201311 yr comment_33923 Awesome news.. Anyone thinking this isn't a big deal all things considered are dense..
December 23, 201311 yr comment_33927 Glad to hear the Vega is back, our DL just got that much better, and I would think this benefits the locker room as well.
December 23, 201311 yr comment_33929 WOO HOO! Boy toy hunting I'm a goin'!! I'm afraid those days are behind me. I would have to use the "I'll be your Winnipeg mother" angle to hook any of them. But I'll support your efforts however I can. I think they'd go for that... they love cougars, right?! And you can make an awesome pre-game meal?!
