Morrow +2

His new team won't get a $35K discount just because Regina gave him that much for doing nothing. IMO, He's worth $190-200K, just like Westerman was. Next time you hire someone, go for the guy who got overpaid for his last job so you don't have to pay him as much, cuz he's already got it from someone else. See how that works for you.

No ****.

I say roll with Couture..Trade Neufeld for draft pick this year..or rights to a neg list guy...Maybe if you need to dump 2 (which I highly doubt) you drop Nevis and his 130k price tag...theres roughly 275k free'd up right there. Couture is ready for prime time...he could have played last year if he had to and done just fine...Dress Foketti as the 6th oline guy...he's earned and deserves it...if he has to go in due to injury in game I am fine with tossing out Jones/Branning on the corner...or you just play one of Ekakite or Corney on every defensive snap...case closed

Why the hell is Muamba worth 200k a year? He's going to get paid 235k this season? Unrealistic.

Also, keep in mind that while getting Muamba would be really helpful, it's because of the ratio flexibility he offers, not necessarily because he'll play the position any better than Bobby Import Jr (2nd generation CFLer). There are pros and cons to signing Muamba. I'm entirely in favour of doing it, but that doesn't mean we're screwed if we don't, and we might find a really good use for the money we saved come October.

Sort of but not exactly. You have to budget for all sorts of things including money yet to be spent. Draft picks still need to be signed. Guys will get injured. Players will still come available in the fall after the NFL makes it's cuts. The team will budget most likely according to position groupings and then signed according to those budgets. This year QBs probably got more than last, but the DL group might have been less. Receivers are probably higher, RB's higher, secondary level, LB's lower, Oline higher. So now after FA has started and you've signed players within those budgets, finding an extra $120,000 (over S-Knox) for your MAC who came available after these decisions were already made isn't so easy. You can sneak 10k here and there from these other areas, but that still doesn't get to $120k. So if Walters wants to make this happen he has to do something irresponsible and take money away from one of those original 3 groups. I'm sure some of what we're offering came from there as well, but you can't leave those accounts empty. That's like the City of Winnipeg fixing a pool with money from the snow clearing budget and hoping this year it stays above zero during winter. It's a bad idea.

Who pulls their goalie down 3?

That’s an absolute embarrassment to not get that offside call right during live action. Then to not let common sense enter into the review process? Ridiculous.

That's gotta be among the worst in the NHL. And yet, the Jets still are in the top 5 overall... That's pretty unreal. And here's a pretty good read from ESPN on the Jets: http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/22745770/nhl-why-winnipeg-jets-envy-30-other-teams

Money well spent considering he was a big part of a solid D corp that helped get the team where it is now. If he has a long term injury, they can move the money to LTIR moving forward and insurance kicks in. Worst case scenario. Hopefully he's back. He's had a really good rebound year and Im sure he's excited for the playoffs.

Muamba is a good player, but is he reliable? Been a mercenary the whole time, not sure that's the guy you make changes to your roster for.

Twitter you say? Well...if it's on Twitter it must be true!!!! Well done detective Floyd! I mean it's completely unheard of for professionals of any kind to pay lip service in certain situations. Especially when significant $$$ is involved. UNHEARD OF!!!!

We have 6 starting NIs and without Henoc, we're starting Matt Coates at WR and people say we're fine. Would rather give Henoc big $ than Oka.

Here's the thing as I see it. We've already made a huge upgrade at MLB by not re-signing Hurl. So Henoc would be a nice-to-have, but our Canadian depth is such that he's not a got-to-have. If he's looking for a max payout, that's fine, but I really don't think he brings enough to the table to justify the potential of us being in cap-hell by mid season. He's a real good middle linebacker, but he's not head-and-shoulders above everyone else in the league better. I'm confident that we've either already got, or can acquire, a import that can play every bit as well, for a whole lot less money. If we start 3 Canuk Oline, Harris, a receiver and Loffler, we only have to play one other Canadian. Yes, it would be nice for it to be Henoc, but it doesn't have to be, nor do we need to start jettisoning good players that might actually want to stick around beyond the end of their contract just to we can have him play for one season.

Stay tuned for the next installment of the hit reality TV series....Trump and Friends. In tonight's episode. Donald loses his pacifier, wandering around the House, creating a tricky situation for his advisers. A porn star leaves a message....and there are face plants all around......

Did they calls those goalies up from the 80s? That was a real retro 1st period.

The bottom line is: Do we believe that Henoc Muamba is worth 200K to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers? Personally, I believe that considering the added boost of a Canadian starter and our struggles at MLB since Henoc left the the team that he’s absolutely worth 200K to this team..

Simonise, the man of 1000 drafts

Market rate for a Canadian starter seems to be 125K-175K.... and more for an all-star Most Outstanding Canadian candidate like Muamba. 200 seems pretty reasonable.

If Simonise actually fell out of the top 5 picks I hope it’s the Bombers who are the team smart enough to give him a shot. The guy has it all and is a player too. He’s done with the NFL until he does something up here so it’s a perfect scenario to grab a guy with that talent IMO.

FTFY

Think JSK will be pretty good in the middle. He can fly around is a good tackler pretty much what you want in the middle. Has played MLB in college he should be alright.

The dispersing thing about the Muamba....be it him or someone else is the fact that the MLB situation has been and remains a critical unsolved problem.

But then you can have another article pointing out the movement from one mock to the next mock. You have to feed the content monster. We must eat.

What hammer?

Coming from a former fan of Fox News that’s pretty tough to watch. Pretty disgraceful really.

If he wants to do it they should find a way to do it. His ask doesn’t seem unreasonable.

Laine sets record for longest point streak by a teenager. 14 games and counting.

Next years WM will be at MetLife in New Jersey or as WWE calls if “The New York Area” Lol

Like this article... https://www.cfl.ca/2018/03/14/ferguson-8-ncaa-prospects-going-scouting-combine/ But a mock draft before the combine is completely pointless - every year draft stock is directly affected by combine performances...

Trump presidency to date

Connor makes it 5 and it's only the 1st period, the Jets have vs Pittsburgh energy tonight

And on the offside.

I think he was referencing Bambi.

Trouba's off IR

I have not seen E.T.

Well, Marshall Ferguson doubling down on last year's trend of him posting mock drafts that make no sense. https://www.cfl.ca/2018/03/15/mock-1-0-will-alouettes-take-first/ Never quite understand his logic or reasoning. But I'll take as much draft coverage as I can get.

Hardaways bashing the phones with Indianapolis...

or that they had a lead on a replacement for him named Archimedes Bachman.

So wife and I are lounging on a beach in Mexico almost snoring. I’m wearing my W cap. Dude couple of seats over jumps up, points, “Whales”! He’s wearing his green crider paraphernalia. We end up chatting. We get along. He wants to chat football. I tell him there are only two teams in all of sports I just hate. “The Whiney Riders and the Oilers”. Several days go by, he asks, would you wear a Rider T-shirt if I sent you one. I said “no way, I hate them”. He asks, “what if it was free”. I responded, “wouldn’t even wash my car with that. Might burn it though. You wanna give me shirt I’ll just burn?” He couldn’t believe it. He was thinking they, Rider fans, are cute and some kind of likeable group. He asked in four five different ways to have me accept a shirt. I joyfully declined.
