Iβll never forget jumping on his back to celebrate beating the Jordan Bulls in the 95-96 season. #RIP
Excited for tonight's Blue Bombers Winter Special on
@680CJOB!
Our 1st chance to talk to new offensive co-ordinator Jason Hogan about his vision for the Bombers offence.
We'll talk to Zach Collaros about his finger, James Vaughters about his fashion and more!
7-9pm tonight
My follow up is:
How does paying Vaughters affect whatβs available for receivers?
Last year Collaros + Lawler + Schoen + Demski + Oliveira was about 30% of the salary cap.
With WR Dillon Mitchell already added is there enough left for Schoen & Lawler?
I think a lot of Bomber fans yearn for the Jefferson-Jeffcoat days (even though weβre only 1 season removed from it).
This feels like a step back toward that.
#CFL
Man, I love this move for the Bombers (even if I didnβt think they could afford it).
With how much DC Jordan Younger loved rushing 3 and dropping 9 having another guy who will create pressure opposite Jefferson is huge.

Looks like the CFL did a pretty good job with ensuring teams have similar rest over the season.
The Bombers are +11, mostly because of the Week 1 bye.
Ticats are -11...after Labour Day they play Montreal on 4 days rest with MTL coming off a bye.
Great news about Evan Holm re-signing with the Bombers.
After the season Holm told us that he and his partner are expecting their first child. And that they were looking to be in Winnipeg together as soon as possible.

Bombers announce they've re-signed LBs Kyrie Wilson and Shayne Gauthier.
Wilson is 32 and has battled injuries over the last four seasons.
Regular season games played:
2024 - 7
2023 - 10
2022 - 4
2021 - 7
#CFL
Personally, I love the thought of it. Having two elite receivers (in addition to Demski, Mitchell, etc) means you'll always have options.
They had awful luck with injuries last season. Had Schoen played the full season I think they'd have been #1/#2 again
The question becomes: is Mitchell a straight addition to the Bombers receiving corps? Or is he replacing some vet they know will not be returning.
Kenny Lawler and Dalton Schoen are pending free agents.
#CFL
Mitchell had 58 catches for 727 yards and 4 TD for the Elks last season.
Funnily enough, he features in CJOB's intro to our fantasy segment, scorching the Bombers for a TD.
Bombers make massive announcement, signing receiver Dillon Mitchell (late of the Elks).
Mitchell can immediately jump in as the X receiver, filling Ontaria Wilson's spot. And Mitchell has had some real highlights against the Bombers. Now he'll do it for them.
