So then you remove the guy and move on to the next one.

in all honesty...why would any team give up on a younger guy with upside still...and is already pretty much proven...For ZC??....Especially based on what has been seen the last 2 yrs and a bit...never happen and a G.M who did that should get canned

Neg list is far superior to an American draft IMO. It rewards your scouting as opposed to a draft which is voodoo when guys may never have an interest in coming north. Draft is an event they can market I am sure is the logic but it doesn't help the game.

as have I....That be one of the more smarter things they could do reallly and your scouting would be key for a draft...just like the CDN draft, and probably more often than not most guys on a Neg. list have no interest either, and at times nary a clue they even on a teams neg list...At lest f a draft is published potential guys would see it and pique their interest...It would also pique interest in guys who didnt get drafted by any league but wanted to play, to possibly get an agent to contacy yeams in Canada I know first hand tons of players I work with, who were declined NCAA opp's for grades..conduct...etc and go the JUCO route who could play up here and have no clue at all about the C.F.L....And same can be said too with a lot of the NCAA guys

Check out the 2025 Winnipeg Jets 😉

I think it’s more ‘Reporter? lol’ than anything.

Why do people get so pissed off when a reporter floats a story?? It's speculation. That's all that it is. It's a ctually great when someone from Sportsnet talks CFL in January.

I think the only attraction for ott with the pest would be dinwiddie. but i don’t think he’d a gotten the ott job with out wanting to work with brown. I don’t see any chance that whole scenario goes down. Why would any team in a trade give up brown or the pest for zach? If you’re lucky zach has a good year left. Hasn’t had a good one in two years. The other two have a ton of football left in them. Browns deal is great value as well. Madani is garbage as a sports reporter. A less knowledgeable version of suitor.

Ottawa just got Brown to take a reduced contract (which wasn't that high to begin with)so they can go hard in FA - pretty sure they aren't wanting to pick up the huge contract that Zach or Kelly would bring.

And the most important move has already been made: at centre

This is the thing for me with an American draft and (imo) one of the reasons why there is so much turn over on the neg lists. If these guys get drafted and then say no thanks to playing in the CFL, what was the point of drafting them? As it is now, if the team holding neg list rights gets told the player has zero interest in the CFL, they can just drop him and add someone else.

We have too many big changes coming already. It’ll be impossible to tune the change planned if they keep compiling changes on top of that.

Same as Thomas. I've told you I don't agree with more & more inexperienced players coaching at the pro level when you have coaches at U Sport who have more experience that don't. It's done because of the coaching cap. Teams can hire them for cheap.

I liked him. We got along. I met him multiple times and he was awesome. One of my fav memories of swaggerville is actually chilling a bit with Jovon Johnson and hef in the parking lot once or twice. They were selling shirts. lol. Man. They both went such different ways. Amazing. Nice to see JJ doing well. Hef is the sad story.

He's truly grateful now.

Id be down for that.
