I think this man's family could manage it Quote Kenneth Colin Irving, OC (March 14, 1899 – December 13, 1992) also known as K. C. Irving was one of Canada's foremost entrepreneurs of the 20th century and ranked as one of the world's leading industrialists. K. C. Irving's business began with a family sawmill in Bouctouche, N.B., in 1882.[1] In 1989, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada. According to Fortune Magazine in September 1989, at the age of 90, K.C. Irving was the 11th wealthiest man in the world with an estimated fortune of $10 billion.[citation needed] Edited December 30, 2017 by Mark F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the feds will spend money on a new stadium in Halifax while telling people in Ottawa, Winnipeg, Regina & Calgary that they won't give a cent to a project like that? Nice. Not surprised though as we know that there are different rules (especially) for Quebec & the Maritimes.

Something is fishy with that... because the other day when I was on the site and voted it was 85% of the votes going for Franklin to play in Toronto.

DR. CFL Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 I can see Toronto signing Franklin. He knows Ray is near the end of his career , with a history of injuries limiting his play. Financially they can either give him a deal heavily loaded with playtime money or with the belief that either Franklin or Ray’s money can be hidden off the Cap on the IR.

MOBomberFan Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 I don't honestly believe the deal would have happened if Popp and co. didn't have an understanding with Franklin already. However, I recall something about BC dangling Reilly in front of the Bombers prior to reaching FA without allowing us to speak with him/his agent first... so I suppose it's possible Popp is rolling the dice without making a gentleman's agreement first... which would be very foolish as Sask does seem like the appropriate place for Franklin to wind up.

Mark F Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 How much has Franklin actually played? Has he played enough for people to know if he's going to be any good? Or is it just a tempest in a teapot? If he really is as good potentially as fans think, I think they'll find a way to keep him. Ricky Ray is one hit away from his career being finished.

TBURGESS Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 All players are one hit away from their careers being finished. The buzz around Franklin is similar to the buzz around Reilly when the Eskimos signed him. No guarantee's, but it's a pretty good indicator that teams think that Franklin has what it takes.
