Is it just me or does it seem counterintuitive to pay up for the "ratio breakers" with the way O'Shea uses his roster? Don't get me wrong, I know the CFL is all about how good your Canadian talent is, but part of me thinks there's no point paying 250k+ for a star Canadian RB/DB/WR/whatever because we aren't maximizing our roster with the ratio to play the most American talent anyways. With the way MOS just plays 8-9+ marginal Canadian starters and rotates in 3-4 more, we'd almost be better off with 10-12 good but not great Canadians and save our money overpaying for the Canadian starter at a non-traditional position. I wish we would utilize the fact that we have the luxury of a Canadian RB by using the extra American on the DL or OL, but instead most games we just trot out 7+ more Canadians at the regular spots too...

Walter’s who brought us two extremely strong draft classes back to back, a couple great canadian talent trades, and a bumper crop of rookies like vaval, allen, woodbey, and the rookie ends who dominated in their one game. The same who already has us with the next group of high end imp ol in rando, who would’ve been an acclaimed all star on any other play off team maybe gotten nfl looks, and vanterpool who barely played but was our best ol when he did. The huge majority of the problem lays at the feet of mos. Walters hasn’t been perfect by any means, but we’ve seen him have the best free agent periods in the league while here when he has money to spend. He’s handed out some over pays for sure. And we’ve lost guys. But the team from top to bottom was in a maintain stage. If we are really in a re tool phase and it sure looks like we are, I wouldn’t pick any other gm in the league to do the job over him.

The only way this makes sense is if the cap is going way up and/or there's a bunch of promo money being used. Make a 150k donation to Northern Dog Rescue.......

Brady tried to reset the market for RB's last year and it only worked out for him. It did not affect the other salaries. The top RB in the league last year (Mills) made a whopping $123,450 last year - half of what Brady did. Butler (3rd overall for RB's) made slightly less at $120k. You absolutely can replace his production for a much lower price. The hit for the Bombers would be off the field - everyone loves Brady (myself included) and it would suck to see him leave.

Unless it's a contract heavily loaded with marketing money so it doesn't affect the cap - hard pass for me at that price point.

When it first opened it was really good. Decent sized portions for both the adult and kids meals and everything was above average. The last two times we went the service was extremely slow to a point where I had to find the server to see if they had forgotten our order. The meat was dried out and the portions were extremely frugal. My adult meal was smaller then what they used to serve as kids meals.

Schiefs Is playing on a different level. It will be a travesty if he does not make the Olympic team.

He was already the highest paid RB by a wide margin (240k vs 160kish for Ouellette) so it's not like we were being cheapskates with him. Bumping him up another 60k is crazy.

Biggest offseason in a decade was last offseason and they screwed it up pretty badly, this is the most urgent offseason in a decade though, and I really hope they understand that.

So we have our first player signing (well extension) in Pokey Wilson. This is exciting as its locking up a good, young player, not a old boys club member.

That's been the complaint about Osh for years. He trots out extra Canadians at positions where we have better American players. It goes on every year & then he scratches his head wondering why it didn't work in big games that we needed to win. he has never maximized our roater properly. We really don't know how good we can be.

The thing is, we can but will we?? I have zero faith in walterts actually doing so. He has a grid for players. RBs (other than Brady) are worth so much. Receivers, linebackers, etc. He won't budge bringing in other team's free agents or keeping ours.

I'm a huge fan of Brady but 300,000 per year seems like too much at first glance.

I loved Loveys ,but as i understand it ,the owner passed on?? Big Smoak moving in would be phenomenal.

Should of added that the team needs to really upgrade the O line, if ZC isn't upright it won't really matter who the receivers are.

That is a bizarre line shuffle.

JT was out in the waiting area when OW came out with his new contract and asked OW, am I up with a smile on his face? Awkward. Sorry It’s going to be a long off season with me hanging around here especially with how the Jets are playing these days.

I am in agreement on Walters performance. He has overseen a massive talent decline since 2021. I wanted him gone this offseason as well and am not particlularly happy he is back. That being said, he's who we got, and from 2013-2020 he did a pretty decent job. He needs to get back to that and I will be happy. If he repeats the same failures as the past few years we are in trouble. I am hoping the Canadian mafia got a big dose of reality this season and enter this offseason understanding that the work needs to be put in, and that we must utilize all potential advantages in order to win. Walters can't sit back and not be active this offseason, must make tough decisions on players even if it pisses MOS off, and MOS must be willing to utilize the naturalized import rule, and say goodbye to some of the guys he has favored for too long. If we do that we can start climbing up the hill again....maybe even rapidly. It seems to me that they got too comfortable and forgot that winning is more than running it back.

Nice to hear about Pokey! One of our young talented game breakers. This was a must. Really happy with the schedule as well. Not sure why it was so difficult to put out a balanced schedule, but I’ll give the credit when it’s due.

As far as competitive balance on that schedule, just for us, I really like that schedule. No stupid short weeks, no home and away back-to-back series (other than LDC/BJB), good spread out balance of bye weeks, and we aren't ending a season series super early in the season again. Best competitive balance schedule (For us) in many years. Personally, only 3 weekday games all on Thursdays, which is great.

Yup. Lovey's was pretty good. I used to really like Famous Daves but its turned into overpriced dogs**t over the last few years.

I hope so too. At one point, Rob kicked tires on what is now Belle's Kitchen so he's definitely wanted to come to this way for a while. Fingers crossed that he can find a place that works but either way, anywhere it the city will be better than driving out to Steinbach.

Pretty sure they talked about Chris Schultz quite extensively because he passed away between seasons. They also still talk about him sometimes when they are talking about Purolator Tackle Hunger.

Take this for whats its worth, a friend of mine knows a person very close to Oliveira and he was told today that the Bombers are close to signing Brady to a 3 year 900K contract. Story is if the Bombers wont/dont, then the Argos will.

And here we go again.
