That's 48 and roster has to be 45 or 46 (I don't have confirmation on roster rules yet). So expect some adjustments for game day yet. My guess is Brown and McKnight find their way to injury lists as season opens.
Everyone else on roster I'm pretty sure if heading to injury lists to start the year. That's
OL Drew Richmond
S Noah Hallett
S Brandon Alexander
DB Mercy Maston
PR
DB Soulermane Karamako
OL Tomoya Machino
DB Evan Holm
DB Cedrick Lavigne
DB Jamal Parker
DB Patrice Rene
FB Konner Burtenshaw
K Ali Mourtada
OL Cameron Durley
OL Eric Lofton
RB Greg McCrae
WR Tavaris Harrison
Suspended List
P Tom Hackett
WR Carlton Agudosi
Perhaps the biggest surprise to me making the team is Kelvin McKnight. I didn't see him at all the in the pre-season and I just don't really get it with him. He didn't show all that much last year, I am pretty shocked he made the team over what appeared to be some of the more promising rookie WR's in camp. Rookie WR's do tend to drift around CFL before they catch on though. I'm sure many didn't realize that Kenny Lawler did the same, attending a try-out with someone, then ended up in camp with BC, before drifting to Winnipeg's PR before finally getting his chance. So a chance we see some of the training camp guys pop back up here or elsewhere in the future.
As I mentioned Saturday cutting Borsa was a shock to many. IMO, it's very possible that Borsa declined a PR spot. He might think he can catch on with his hometown Riders due to their poor RB position. The rest of cuts is a collection of undrafted/late drafted canadians (some which I heard buzz about potentially making team like Mezzalira, Ciguineau, Valvano, Koczwara but they were still long shots) and rookie americans some of which might still pop up here or elsewhere (WR Lucky Jackson, DB Jermaine Ponder, WR TJ Simmons, DT Kenny Randall). But no one of note.
Around the league there was not alot of shockers released. WR Quan Bray, WR BJ Cunningham, DB Trumaine Washington are probably the biggest names. With the Bombers right up against cap at the moment and very few holes don't expect the Bombers to be making many adjustments to pick up any players from elsewhere. I expect this to be roughly the roster run out on Friday.
Anyways, can't wait to get this going this year! Go Bombers!
or is there another zone that's like that, but better?
