WINNIPEG - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are preparing to start rookie camp Wednesday evening, as talks between the league and the players to avert a possible strike resume earlier in the day.
Winnipeg head coach Mike O'Shea says he can't say anything about the contract dispute.
But he's expecting about 45 players to attend rookie camp and has already seem most of them at a mini-camp the team held earlier this year in Florida.
O'Shea is a rookie himself as a CFL head coach.
The former Toronto Argonauts special teams co-ordinator was hired as the Bombers cleaned house last season when they finished in the CFL cellar at 3-15.
A lot of playing jobs may be up for grabs this year but one has already been filled -- starting quarterback -- by former Saskatchewan Roughriders backup Drew Willy.
