Any possession wr needs to be a down field possession guy, like lawler. Tall, lanky, long strider, athletic enough to one cut separate a bit and able to dominate 50/50 balls. We don’t need more corcorans and 10 yards and less catch when open the fall down. Tbh, our wr core needs a lot. wilson, demski and big kev. we need as much wr as we can get in the last two spots. Really need a wr1 and maybe a 3. -

I’d only resign if hamilton is paying 300k+ incentives and giving the starting role. Hes gonna have a huge market draw. It’s him and kelly. Forget whoever else the league could lose this off season at qb. especially 1 season after the draft plus. Doesn’t make sense that they extended him through a similar term. I wonder if they renegotiated his contract. It’ll be interesting to see what they write him in as in next years 3dn article. -
Jake is for sure a great guy. I’d buy it of kola too. I mean they haven’t been playing on merit of their on field contribution.
-
all depends on his deal. He might’ve gotten or might get 100k like last year.

If hogans back / we don’t do a major re tooling that shows serious change, the whole team is cooked -

For my money, that would be the most valuable canadian. That’s why I think we should be developing guys like wallace with the mobility at rt first, and kick them inside if it doesn’t work out. Yeah a lot of heavy pay days to canadians end up being bad deals. Milt was pushing fringe starting qb money. So in today’s game, i’d bet he’d want 330-400k. Blink would be hard to price. Imo, the top pay for a rb should be incentive based, pay some thing like 165k base, and chance to go up to 195-205k. Sure, pay premium for the mop campaigns. If you go over on the back end deal with it. Free agency is one of the few chances to add significant talent now. We don’t see major nfl free agent upgrades more than once every few years any more. That’s what wasting cap space really does. Make you miss out on the only chance to retool. Except every game brady and harris before him, missed, our run game didn’t miss a beat. Half the league has a high end rb as we saw this year. The issue with that is, we likely have to pay wjs money for a high end dl, logan plus vaughters might get us a second end, and bryant’s replacement would need an increase via free agency. We need to spend more on wr, ol, and Dl. we aren’t going to stay with in what we pay those positions and retool. We need to cut else where. -

Like I said, a couple ratio breakers across the league, almost none by that kind of margin. Smith made 270k, not 305. But i also said “How did Robbie smith do?” Ford didn’t just sign an extension. He signed a 3 year deal last off season. Our secondary pay scale has gone to pure crap. Crazy for a team that refused to pay dbs for so long. Ol is the hall mark cfl starting position. Db/s and 1 wr are others. Demski wasn’t actually in the top 5, due to whites bonuses. 4 out of the top 5 wrs are ni. But demski is making a big chunk to much. Gittens, ford and smith are classic examples of why it’s a bad idea to give gigantic over pays because of the passport. Rourkes deal is only workable because the lions put so much cheat money into his deal, and he plays qb. Even at that the list of teams who’ve screwed them self with qb deals like that is way longer than the ones it’s worked out for. wooooow. That’s a possible huge power shift if he does. Bet they give powell a good deal and then go premium at back up. Maybe get in on the peat with my favorite to land him, edmonton. -

dressler and smith had drastically better wheels. average size, excellent athleticism, track guy, tough kid too. Solid prospect. -
They didn’t release the details of the extension, but it sounded like the pay mirrored his last deal. Which had 250,000 in guaranteed money plus another 100,000 off season bonus. There is also a ton of rules around vets and guarantees on contracts. It’s not like it used to be when you could cut any one and instantly drop salary.

They aren’t, normally at most positions, Especially that amount over. Looking back at canadians setting the high price mark at positions, they normally only get 10-20k mark up. Out side of Ol, Rourke, ford, and Brady. All 3 of those guys are over pays, but rourke being a qb is a bit different. Ford won’t see remotely the same money again in his career. Even ol, where we see more canadians get more money, It’s normally a 20-30k max range. A positional break down: Db, it’s true right now. because ford is one of the worst over pays. But a canadian db hasn’t been the highest paid in the past 6-7 years atleast. Last one I can find was Sanchez when he came back from the nfl, ages ago. Lber, Judge is 35k ish under wynton and just under 10 below Beverette. Again the previous highest paid lbers going back years aren’t canadian. Dl, they are but they are only 15-25k above flo and ceresna. For several years this has been imp dominated for highest paid. Wr, nope lawler and it’s been imps as far back as I can find. Rb, it is again with brady’s heavy pay day. Brady again earns 2x all but one or two backs in the league. If you look at the league wide candidates for MOC, did any one other than brady/rourke even make 100k? Giving huge pay days to canadian ratio breakers doesn’t work out a lot. How did Robbie smith do? Or ford? If we lived in a perfect world and crafted the roster around over paying two great canadian's, that we know will perform, that’d be fine. Problem is, how do you retool with those contracts when those are two of the easier positions to replace for a fraction of the pay? -

I look at his highlights and go, this is exactly what I’d expect from a peaked in college, none-prospect type. but, it is worth while to bring under sized guys with out great speed in for a flyer if the scouts see some thing in their route running etc and skill set. Some times those plucky over achievers do it at the pro level. And some times guys like that are the type of dogs mentality guys you need in camp to elevate others. We just can’t bring in many, and we can’t needlessly fall in love with him, like they did with mcknight.
