OT: 2016 Blue Bombers Thread Part Trois

[Holden Caulfield]

And if Nichols regresses to his norm, or suffers a significant injury? I am very uncomfortable with our QB situation. Unless something is in the works, I just don't see the logic in letting an experienced backup like Glenn walk.

Oh I agree 100%. Right now we are big trouble at QB. Glenn wanted near starter money and opportunity though, he was a FA. Released a bit early, but he was leaving either way.

We do need to find another QB to push Nichols out.

Walters said on that radio that both he and Glenn are open to talking again, just that the latter asked for a release to pursue his options.

Which are...?

Glenn already signed in Saskatchewan.

Not surprised by the release of Shologan he did nothing last year, a bit surprised about Lochard, will be interested to see if they try to go with 3 imports on the o line again this year.

Lochard had 8 carries all year.

It appears the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will lose Quincy McDuffie, the CFL's top kickoff returner last season.

The Bombers have released McDuffie to allow him to sign with the NFL's Dallas Cowboys.

Player agent Brett Tessler on Twitter said the Cowboys worked out the 26-year-old and signed him on Tuesday.

It's a big loss for the Bombers, as McDuffie, who was scheduled to become a CFL free agent next month, led the CFL with a 27.7-yard average on 42 kickoff returns in 2016.

Despite suiting up for just 13 games, he was the only CFL player to score a touchdown on a kickoff return – he had two.

On offence, McDuffie caught 23 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown. He was also tied for the team lead with three fumbles.

I think this might a potential Bombers target. Cato has shown really good things in flashes, I could certainly see him being better than Nichols.

Wouldn't hurt to at least give him a look.

I don't think so. Hes kind of a basket case

If that's the case, then maybe not. I don't know anything about how he is in the locker room, I was just thinking about his play on the field.

How about LeFevour? Or are the Bombers going with Davis as the back-up?

Time for a new thread - for 2017
