@PentonKirk: The #Bombers are out of the Henoc Muamba sweepstakes, according to a source. #CFL

@garylawless: Hearing Henoc Muamba is close to signing with CFL team. Deal is north of 500 k for remainder of this season plus two more. Told #bombers out

Oh well, he would have helped our defense, but it is the offense that needs the most help.....o line, receivers, running backs....

500 K for this season? You kidding me

Wait, he is getting 500k this year, then 2 more years at what? I would guess in the 300k range?

Wow, congrats to Henoc, not bad at all.

Should that not be 500k on a 3 year contract this one included.

Yeah I think that's right. 500k for 3 years.

Which would be lower than the 250k per year floated out earlier. Much lower, disappointed we wouldn't offer him that much if accurate.

That's $500k over 2.3 seasons guys. Like $225k per season.

Likely with Edmonton. Imagine if he plays this week against Bombers at IGF!!

Lawless:

100k signing bonus

10k per game this year

200k 2016

200k 2017

100k bonus & 10k per game this year according to lawless. 200k each of the next 2 seasons.

He should have tried the NFL again this off season. That deal basically kisses that dream good bye. Not a lot of 28 year old special teamers finding NFL work.

Oh well.

Lawless:

100k signing bonus

10k per game this year

200k 2016

200k 2017

Shame we wouldn't match.

Oh well. No hard feelings, Henoc.

If this contract is true he finally got the message that he's not good enough for the NFL take what you can in the cFL.

Lawless mentioned something during H&L this pm about a couple tweets from Cauchy showing up and then being deleted. Tweets were at henoc and a third brother, but never saw them first hand. Could indicate a reunion in Edmonton

Big mistake by the Bombers.

 

When you have a chance to sign an outstanding Canadian starter, you do it.  @ 200k a year, it's worth it.

 

This will come back to haunt us.

 

I guess my question is, are the Bombers out because they don't want to spend the money on him, or does Muamba just not want to come back?

It is a shame he can't tour a little longer just to watch bitter, sad, people have their head explode.

I think that's a little bit of both, but more so the situation the Bombers are in this year probably played a big factor.

Interesting. Good for him. Sucks for us, but I was resigned to it.

My guess is Edmonton. Seems too obvious.

He obviously wants to play with his mediocre brother.

I actually think he's going to end up playing with both brothers. I bet whoever signs him signs his brother Kelvin too. It'll be Edmonton, more than likely.

Yeah. I think playing with his brothers were a big factor here. Oh well. It sucks but... oh well. Our real problem is our O

Haven't heard anything here but tbh been more worried about the Oilers. Once Henoc is up to speed J.C. Sherrit could be moved out Dexter McCoils' spot (he'll be going to NFL next year)- you're not paying this guy 200k to be a special teamer - and at MLB he too is a ratio buster. Will be nice to see him playing at Commonwealth but I've said it all along - Sam Hurl is turning into a very solid MLB and he's getting better every day. Plus - he doesn't have NFL aspirations so no dreams are 'lost' there. I don't think Henoc will be as affective a player as he was before he went to the NFL. Luckily for him with Edmonton's defense he doesn't have to be all world like he would have to in Winnipeg - he just needs to be a solid player and the rest will take care of itself. Smart choice by him

If he signs a 2 + Henoc is done with the NFL

I'm over you Henoc!
