OT: Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2025 Thread - Here we go again

[Holden Caulfield]

I normally wait for schedule release, but it's mid January and nothing so far. So I figure it's time to start this.

Some recent news:
Re-Signed RG Patrick Neufeld, LB Kyrie Wilson, DE Willie Jefferson, LB Shayne Gauthier
Signed WR Dillon Mitchell from Edmonton
WR Ontaria "Pokey" Wilson signs with NFL's New York Jets, Bombers retain his CFL rights through end of 2025 season

I think I’m numb to Grey Cup losses at this point.

I just want a real backup... but id be surprised if we dont head into the season with the same crew...

Figure it will be one last shot at the cup with most of them.

I don’t agree, but I also get it.

They had a good chance to win it all last season. Just get Richie Hall, and that BS passive defense the hell away from this team.

Happy to try someone other than Buck, who too often seemed to forget he was allowed to use Oliviera.

I haven't seen this independently but a friend sent this to me...

Looks like we (the fans that is) get SCREWED on scheduling this year. 3 goddamn home Thursday games, 2 late October home games. This schedule freaking sucks.

Are we going to do something about the C position?

Kolankowski signed a 2 year deal in 24 through the end of the 25 season. So unlikely.

Bryant - Wallace/Eli - Kolankowski - Neufeld - FA is my prediction for the OL this year.

No Dobson?

Bringing thomas and neufeld back is not the offseason i was hoping for... even wilson is a big meh for me - we have better players waiting... or had...

I want to believe theyre all at league minimum but theyre not...

No Dobson?

By the sounds of it he's looking for a big payday somewhere else.

At some point shouldnt we pay an OL..

True enough.

My hope is that they'll spend some money on a RT, maybe a guy that can slide over to LT in 26 if Bryant retires.

As mentioned Dobson is looking for a big payday. With Gabe Wallace waiting in the wings and to a lesser extent Tui Eli still hanging around, I don't think they really need to blow the budget on a guard.
