February 10, 20169 yr comment_182236 Shologan and Thomas, might not be the most impressive DT group but... they would get the job done i'm sure. I think Turners time in Winnipeg is coming to an end soon as i don't really think he's worth what he brings. DL was an issue last year outside of Westerman really, Anderson was ok for a guy coming off surgery but... for the most part, THE DL was pretty bad, why bring back players who are bad? it makes no sense. As a fan of the bombers and CFL, i've learned to not become 2 attached to some of the players because it's likely that they won't be here for very long. All the Jerseys i own, none are current bombers and i'm not sure i'd ever get a current bomber. Maybe i'd Consider Harris or Willy now tho but... for the most part, guys don't tend to spend their whole careers with 1 team anymore.

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. What I suspect will happen in 2016 is Walters will spend closer to the cap and not have as much money left-over to push forward for next year's signings. Could result in more Bombers heading to F.A. next year if nothing is left in the kitty.
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182238 I think Walters has already signed the guys he wants to be here "long term". I'd be willing to guess that the bombers probably don't have as many free agents last year as they do this year. The only exception being Sukh Chungh but wouldn't be surprised to hear he's signed an extension soon. Edited February 10, 20169 yr by Goalie
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182239 From my understanding I think everyone except keeping signed 2+ years I dont think next year will be much diff then most years
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182240 I'm sure Hufnagel would like nothing better than for us to continue to struggle. Considering we nearly beat him twice last season maybe we can send a little pain in his direction this season.
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182241 Really feels like Mitchell baiting Huff CFL site reporting the Cummings has signed with Winnipeg (unconfirmed...)

February 10, 20169 yr comment_182243 lol not quite, though interestingly enough my mothers maiden name is Cummings, we could be related

DL was an issue last year outside of Westerman really, Anderson was ok for a guy coming off surgery but... for the most part, THE DL was pretty bad, why bring back players who are bad? it makes no sense. A lot of the team was pretty bad. Denmark was shut out or had little impact in many games. Willy has been broken for two years. Etc. Etc. We are thin on DLine and Turner has had some success before so I don't think the writing is on the wall yet. In fact many guys may yet lose their jobs as this team has been pretty bad for the last two years. I am indifferent whether Turner stays or goes. I am just saying the Bombers are not yet in a position to say for sure what happens to many players whose jobs have been put in doubt because of recent signings.
February 10, 20169 yr Author comment_182246 Euclid Cummings is a huge signing for the Bombers. Did not think this would have happened. Way better interior pressure with today's signings. Those white teeth you see is the smile on Jamaal Westerman's face.

February 10, 20169 yr comment_182248 Turner is officially toast... Vaughn-Shologan-Cumming-Westerman (Thomas-Collins) Im okay with that

February 10, 20169 yr comment_182250 This is so out of character for the Bombers that I think Huff and others just don't know what to make of it. Correction, he's knocking the Bombers for relying on the other teams to find the talent for them. Edited February 10, 20169 yr by pigseye

February 10, 20169 yr comment_182256 Added 5 starters in Harris, Smith, Dressler, Shologan, Cummings - really 6 starters with Medlock. Strong work from Walters and the Bombers. It doesn't sound like they overpaid for any (always tough to say without full numbers), which is another good sign. Players want to put on the blue and gold.

February 10, 20169 yr comment_182262 Riders fans dumping on us. Saying we're only going to be in the battle for third and we lack depth or that its Taman redeux. I say to them, up yours. Hope those tools enjoy last place.
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182263 Seems like it was more rider stronson then the fans in general. Haters gonna hate tho. I just find it funny they are knocking us for loading up on starters with suspect depth, yet they are happy to have depth but no real starters. Guess each to their own Edited February 10, 20169 yr by Taynted_Fayth
