OT: Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2023 Season - Another terrible disappointment. NEXT: Tough Decisions on How to Rebuild.

[jetsmooseice]

I know I know, you can't get carried away with the offseason champions thing but HOLY MOSES THE BOMBERS ARE ABSOLUTELY DOMINATING FREE AGENCY!!!!!!

Oh baby Oliviera and Schoen in one day.

There is Haba and Haba-nots in the CFL

 

[jetsforever]

Schoen too! Nice!

 

[ThinIce61]

Oliveira-Monahan-Schoen.

I wonder how they are on the power play. What a week this has been.

Streveler in net or playing D?

 

[snowkiddin]

Streveler in net or playing D?

He's playing the bumper position

 

[ThinIce61]

Streveler in net or playing D?

He's got some good moves, he might be able to do both.

Can't wait until CFL free agency opens in a week and all the excitement begins

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Hahaha you also didn't want oliviera right?

I'll take a cdn who's one trick is pressure and sacks...

I wanted Oliveira. I just didn’t want him for over 250k. Betts is a one trick pony. He’s not worth Brady money. Brady was the moc. Put up over 2000 combined yards.

Betts sucks.

It’s begun already

It's starts on the 13th. That's the joke - man you must be a riot at parties

Drew Richmond (one of the backup tackles who could’ve replaced Hardrick) retired at 28. Gonna have to find a vet in free agency

Realized he'd have to actually play in November

More work for Walters to do... need OL... DB's...

Bombers' RB Brady Oliveira turned down $770,000 and $550,000 financial packages to stay in Winnipeg - 3DownNation

Winnipeg native Brady Oliveira took a hometown discount to stay with his beloved Blue Bombers, proving he’s not all about the money. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats put a full-court press on the league’s reigning Most Outstanding Canadian. CEO Scott Mitchell, general manager Ed Hervey, and head coach...

Oliveira... Just, wow. Proving he's not just about the money. Maybe he learned from Lawler's experience... Money isn't everything - though it helps...

Or he got an additional $100k sponsorship from EIC for his dog foundation in Bali...

 

[None]

More likely that he'll just make up any difference and more with playoff bonuses

The local sponsorships can't hurt either.

Plus he lives here so automatically saving tons on rent. Vancouver is expensive compared to the peg.

That's unreal money for the CFL and he's a running back not a QB , good job Walters and the Bombers for finding a way to keep him. Oliveria and Streveler running the ball ? Opposing teams are going to have a tough time stopping our run game.

One of my kids attended a Jets game with me. Oliviera sat just in front of us.

1. Huge man, suffering gods, a barrel with legs. Now I see why he can do damage. My youngster is 6'4" and Brady somehow made him look average-sized.
2. Friendly, polite, and cool.

So glad he remains on my favourite CFL squad.

Friendly, polite and cool? He must be a Winnipeger .

Friendly, polite and cool? He must be a Winnipeger .

There once was a bomb from the Peg,
Who shape closely resembled a keg.
He was signed without pain,
BC nor Ti-Cats could gain,
And will now cause Riders to beg.

I think that was one lesson learned from Lawler... Pretty much guaranteed playoff bonuses here right now. And being in a good locker room is worth $ too - less stress...

 

[snowkiddin]

Brandon Alexander is back!

OT: - Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2024 Season Thread - Off-Season Mode - Oliveira, Schoen, Alexander, Streveler recent notable signings

Started a 2024 thread. Bombers have been nailing the off-season again, but what else is new? Haha. Bombers have done everything right for 5+ years now except two games they just failed to show up in both in November...
