As the 2025 season approaches, CFL.ca is here to catch you up with the 5 Things To Know series. Each article will look at key storylines facing each team this season, while examining off-season movement and where your team might stand in 2025.
The biggest non-change for the Bombers is on the OL. All 4 returnees are 32 - 39 this season. Run blocking was still VG but only the Lions were worse in pass protection. While you see the Lions, Riders & top rated unit on the Elks ALL making moves to improve, the Bombers lost their lone guy under 30 & an All-star. They also lost a handful of young developing guys on the DL & brought in a 33 year old. The trenches IMO are still an area of concern.
I do like some of the changes they made. Tony Jones is a huge upgrade over Bighill. The other Jones, if he regains his 2023 form, is a needed change @ WIL. Logan is going to give the return game a big lift. Mitchell also has good avg return #'s & loads of potential at receiver.
The teams around them have gotten better - BC, Edmonton & Saskatchewan have all improved. The West will be even more interesting than it was last year.
