February 9, 20169 yr comment_182207 Considering not a single Calgary player has signed with another CFL team, I doubt any of Huffnagel's comments reflect bitterness. Mitchell is the one behaving like a tool for some reason.
February 9, 20169 yr comment_182208 Per Scott Mitchell: Ted Laurent is re-signing with the #Ticats, per source. #CFLFA
February 9, 20169 yr comment_182209 Laurent signs in Hamilton expect a flurry of d signings over next couple hours
February 9, 20169 yr comment_182212 im ok with that, we got Shogunlogan, id still love to see sherritt come this way so we can say sayonara hurl at mlb
February 9, 20169 yr comment_182214 thats what we need imo, imagine a strong Dline backed by that monster LB core. I dont like to reference the 80's LBs we had but id be pretty excited for a second coming
February 9, 20169 yr comment_182215 Huff sitting up in his perch throwing daggers at us is hilarious , our team has a long way to go but it may have gotten a little closer today.
February 9, 20169 yr comment_182216 We didn't re-sign our guys because they suck and there was a wealth of players out there that could plug gaping holes in our lineup. Hopefully, we can plug more holes with a good draft. What too many outsiders have failed to notice is that Winnipeg has been trying to build largely without FA and have sucked hard because of it. Sometimes you just don't have the liberty of playing the long game hoping prospects will pan out. If Walters didn't do what he did today he would likely have paid the price of unemployment halfway through the 2016 season. The signings today go a long way to turning the Bombers fortunes around. Walters has finally made moves to really improving this team. I don't expect any Grey Cup this year but at least we have a chance of not sucking. More work to be done but I am finally getting some optimism back.
February 9, 20169 yr comment_182217 I suspect Bryant Turner gets cut since we signed Shologan and to save $. We can go Westerman/Kolhert/Harris/Shologan/3 NI OL. There is no need to start Hurl. Somebody please tell MOS.

February 9, 20169 yr comment_182219 I don't think we are as close to the cap as some think we are. And if we are, Well, i can think of several players right now who will probably not be Bombers soon. Turner, who is no doubt making a pretty penny or 2 will probably be traded or released. Bucknor is probably another guy that could be sent packing. I don't think a guy like Kohlert is in any danger, I think a guy like Peach could be sent packing, between those guys and the guys we let go already plus the cap went up 100,000 dollars, not much but enough to make a bit of a difference, don't think cap issues are there really. Picard,Moore = 350,000 plus... closer to probably 400,000. with the additional 100,000 cap space, Lets just call it 500,000. Yeah they signed Nichols but how much of that deal counted towards the 2015 cap, how much of Bryants extension or Goossens extension counted towards the 2015 cap. With moving on from guys like Pontbriand,Newman,Lirim,Washington, etc... there are some cap savings there too, yeah it might not be hundreds of thousands of dollars but a little birdy on twitter told me that had about 1.1 million to play with. I bet they didn't even spend that much today when it's all said and done. They spent some cash today but... i'll bet they have plenty of cash left over also. Edited February 10, 20169 yr by Goalie
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182220 We didn't over pay for anyone we are doing fine. Still lots of talented guys we can pick up for depth

February 10, 20169 yr comment_182222 interesting, the ol' new age bird flipper. I kinda wish one of those teams were calgary given the recent comments but all the same LOL @ riders & Als
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182223 Als have apparently signed Jovon Johnson... 90,000 base to that contract. Wouldn't be surprised to see Capicotti join him in Montreal. Edited February 10, 20169 yr by Goalie

The question is, does he have enough daggers to toss at Austin and Desjardins? Don't they have like 40+ of their own players to re-sign? The landscape of the CFL is evolving and Walters seems positioned to work within in this new environment. The Bombers, however, have to correct their wayward scouting system to complete the picture. Isn't improvement the name of the game? And aren't we trying to do just that?
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182225 wow 90K, i think id have offered that to JJ over whatever we offered Nacho Harris

February 10, 20169 yr comment_182229 So... who are the biggest losers on day 1 of free agency? Calgary? Montreal, yeah they signed a few guys but losing Bourke has to hurt Ottawa? Outside of signing Trevor Harris, did they do anything?

He's a pretty good player actually, plus he's Canadian. Makes no sense to cut him for $$$ purposes when there are a bunch of Internationals who could potentially be replaced by cheaper guys.
