The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are moving quickly to add depth to the quarterback room with the upcoming additions of Jake Dolegala and Bryan Scott.
TSN’s Dave Naylor first reported that the two were heading to Winnipeg, and 3DownNation’s John Hodge confirmed the news.
Dolegala started one game for the BC Lions in their Week 10 33-16 loss to the Edmonton Elks and went 14-of-23 for 146 yards. BC released him shortly after the game and replaced him with Nathan Rourke.
The Bombers are Dolegala’s third team in three years after starting his CFL career with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. His career numbers include 2,953 yards and 12 touchdowns to 11 interceptions.
Scott was recently released from the Toronto Argonauts after a year and a half with the team. He appeared in one game this season in Toronto’s Week 4 loss to the Montreal Alouettes, completing all five of his passes for 79 yards and one touchdown.
Streveler announced on Instagram this week that he tore three major ligaments in his left knee and will miss time. His timetable to return is unknown.
Winnipeg currently has Zach Collaros as the starter with Terry Wilson as the backup. It’s unknown whether the Bombers would carry all four quarterbacks or have three on the active roster with one on the practice roster.
The Bombers are on a bye this week. They are currently tied for first in the West Division with the BC Lions. Winnipeg will face the Edmonton Elks on Saturday, September 21.

Why Yankees' trade for All-Star 3B is disappointing
The New York Yankees’ first move ahead of the July 31 MLB trade deadline falls a bit flat. They traded two prospects most fans have never heard of to acquire Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon, a lackluster move that indicates New York is throwing in the towel on the 2025 season. McMahon is an upgrade — but only a slight one. Yankees GM Brian Cashman replaced a .147 hitter in Oswald Peraza with a .217 hitter in McMahon, who also happens to lead the National League in strikeouts (127). But really, New York just added another Anthony Volpe — one of the biggest problems in the Bombers’ lineup — to the left side of their infield. The two infielders’ 2025 stats tell virtually the same sad tale: McMahon: .217/.314/.403, 16 home runs Volpe: .214/.286/.400, 13 home runs The Yankees should have risked a top prospect or two for Arizona Diamondbacks power-hitting third baseman Eugenio Suarez. A 2026 free agent, Suarez is a rental, but with his .252/.325/.593 slash line, 33 home runs and MLB-leading 86 RBI, he’d be a huge upgrade at third base, rather than a slight one. Instead, the Yankees opted for a player who they’ll have control over until 2028 and cost them almost nothing to acquire. Apparently, they believe McMahon will prove valuable in the long run, based on his advanced analytics. After all, he’s been crushing the ball in 2025, averaging a 94 mph exit velocity. However, his ability to hit the ball hard doesn’t mean he’s just been unlucky this year, as his xBA is just .232 — not too far below his .240 career actual batting average. Compare that to another guy who’s known for hitting the ball hard in Yankees first baseman Ben Rice, who is hitting just .232 but has an xBA of .289. It doesn’t matter how hard McMahon hits the ball if he tends to hit it directly at a fielder. There’s still a week until the trade deadline, but don’t expect the Yankees to make any truly splashy moves. Suarez was the better choice to fix New York’s third base issues, and their pivot to McMahon was disappointing.
Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan leaves behind a complicated legacy
On Thursday, wrestling icon Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea died at the age of 71. "WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away," the company said in a statement. "One of pop culture’s most recognizable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s... WWE extends its condolences to Hogan’s family, friends, and fans." Hogan was the first true superstar to emerge in the wrestling industry, capturing a casual audience worldwide and bringing new eyes to the sport. He was an unbelievable draw, both as a baby face and as a heel. From his time as an All-American hero to leading the New World Order and teaming with Randy Savage as part of the "Mega Powers," he has been a staple of the scene for decades. Who can forget his WrestleMania III moment, where he defied the laws of physics to body-slam a 520-pound Andre the Giant? Or, more recently, his match with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson at WrestleMania 18? His last appearance on WWE RAW on Jan. 6 saw him booed throughout, highlighting the rocky legacy Hogan leaves behind. Hogan's universal popularity has plummeted in recent years, primarily due to a racism scandal that led to his removal from the Wrestling Hall of Fame, only to be reinstated in 2018. Nevertheless, the damage had been done. Hogan's outdated and unwelcome outlook on specific aspects of life derailed the final stanza of a legendary career. Still, there's no denying that without Hogan, the wrestling we know and love today wouldn't exist. There wouldn't be WWE on the world's largest streaming platform, or All Elite Wrestling, which is developing into one of the most successful challenger brands. Instead, there would be smaller, more localized promotions, all competing for a sliver of television time. Hogan popularized the sport by bridging the gap between the wrestling ring and Hollywood. During his time in the spotlight, Hogan appeared in movies such as "Rocky III," "No Holds Barred" and "Suburban Commando," all of which helped bring his larger-than-life persona to a new audience. It's no surprise, then, that The Rock, John Cena and Dave Bautista have all made similar jumps in recent years. Hogan leaves behind an everlasting imprint on the wrestling world. Unfortunately, it comes with multiple asterisks; however, that doesn't change what he achieved as the first global wrestling star.
Trade rejection speaks volumes about Red Sox's Jarren Duran intentions
The Boston Red Sox appear to have no interest in trading outfielder Jarren Duran, at least not in the near future. Trade rumors have swirled around Duran for most of the season, especially after designated hitter Rafael Devers was traded to the Giants. However, Sean McAdam from MassLive reported that the Red Sox may wait until the offseason before moving on from the former All-Star. The decision to wait on Duran is not due to a lack of offers. McAdam also reported that the Padres made a significant offer for Duran involving pitcher Dylan Cease, catching prospect Ethan Salas and another unnamed prospect. That offer was quickly rejected. The Padres have long coveted Duran. McAdam had previously reported that the Padres have been "relentless" in their pursuit of the Red Sox outfielder. The reported trade offer including Salas, the Padres second-best prospect and the 21st-best prospect in baseball per MLB.com, illustrates how serious they are about acquiring Duran. Likewise, the Red Sox's refusal to entertain such an offer, even as a starting point for negotiations, speaks volumes about their interest in moving Duran. The Padres' offer would help solve several problems for the Red Sox in both the present and future. Moving Duran would help clear up the logjam in the outfield, while Cease and Salas would respectively improve the back of their rotation and provide a possible cornerstone behind the plate going forward. Duran is a valuable trade chip as he is under team control through 2028. He has also taken a step back in production from his stellar showing in 2024, posting a respectable .254/.321/.428 batting line in 459 plate appearances entering Friday, with nine homers and 25 doubles while stealing 16 bases. That production would be an upgrade for several teams looking to improve their outfield going forward. The question is whether or not the Red Sox will be realistic in their asking price for Duran. Considering how quickly the Padres' offer was reportedly rejected, that may not be the case.
Steelers' Mike Tomlin was excited talking about Aaron Rodgers’ TD pass
Mike Tomlin typically keeps a straightforward delivery when speaking with the media, but he had a departure from his usual style on Friday. The longtime Pittsburgh Steelers coach spoke with the media after training camp practice on Friday. He was asked about a touchdown pass Aaron Rodgers had thrown to DK Metcalf. Tomlin tried to downplay things by saying he wasn’t going to “throw a pep rally.” “That’s what I expect, that’s what I envisioned all summer,” Tomlin said. Despite what he said, Tomlin couldn’t hide his excitement as he talked about it; he had a big smile on his face. It’s not hard to see why Tomlin would be excited. The Steelers haven’t had a quarterback who put up big stats since a few years before Ben Roethlisberger retired. From 2014-2018, the Steelers were in the top 10 in the league in both points scored and yards gained. They haven’t been higher than 23rd in the league in yards since then. Rodgers is 41 and went just 5-12 as a starter with the Jets last season. There is some concern that Rodgers could end Tomlin’s streak, but the veteran coach seems pretty excited about his offense. In addition to Rodgers, the Steelers acquired Metcalf in a trade with the Seahawks and tight end Jonnu Smith in a trade with the Dolphins. They also cleaned out George Pickens from their locker room The Steelers are coming off a 10-7 season. They lost in the wild-card round of the playoffs to the Ravens.
