With the loss of Lewis, Jones, & Mitchell, the addition of Dunbar is vg. I wonder how much is the contract.

The Bleks living up to their history and trying to buy their way back to the top. When this fails and they fire Hervey again what will they do, bring back Eric Tillman again?

Steven Dunbar is a high-quality receiver who ( almost ) single-handedly gave the Tiger-cats one of their victories last season and floated high in the ranks of the top five receivers in the land. Dunbar will be missed in the Steel City and fans will await Steven’s return with Edmonton and as a Cat.

There’s no “s” in Blek either Monty.:smile:

The guy had a great 2024 with 75 receptions for almost 1200 yards. I guess Hamilton was out of cap space after pillaging the Bomber roster.

Physics - “for every action…”

That he wasn’t picked up earlier surprises me. :smile:

I’m sorry to see Dunbar leave Hamilton - he was a great receiver. The Cats have picked up a few good ones too, so I don’t think they will suffer. The Cats and Bombers go back and forth with personnel - O’Shea and Collaros came from the Cats and now the Cats pick up some from the Bombers - it is the way of the CFL.

Elks had to sign Dunbar, they lost Lewis, Mitchell and Jones. They made up 67% of the yardage from the receivers group
