2024/2025 CFL (non-Bomber) Off-Season Thread

He certainly is not on the hot seat. The seat could warm up with a rough start next year but he’s gonna get lots of leash. Bucks seat is pretty hot imo. -

You’re right in that it was an understandable decision in terms of health. I think at 90k though, it would’ve been a fine gamble to take. The real problem is we dumped some young guys, ran through some guys who couldn’t do the job then settled on lucky who was all the down side of grant with none of the upside for probably the same money. -

Really? Ew. We all knew that. I wonder if they wouldn’t be better off trading rourke though -

He’s worked his way up here as an American scout. Done a tremendous job finding talent down south. Very keen football mind. That makes sense. Danny spends his time in warm climes with his wife’s family. He’s only up here for camp and as needed. I love Ted, great guy and under rated as a gm candidate in the league. I’ll be very happy if he stays, but also happy for him if he gets the shot he deserves. Ringmaiden was a harder loss any way. -

Danny and Ted both have ast gm titles, and director of pp/scouting titles. So unless we let both walk they’d have to offer titles higher than gm to one of them. Maybe Mac has changed his tune but I kinda doubt it. Hes a snow bird who loves the freedom we give him. He hasn’t even interviewed for another job. I’d be stunned if both left. I like Cyril penn and think he’s got a great future in football. He is likely ready to take one job. Replacing both would be very hard. -

Hmm upper body can’t throw a ball. Lower body can run. Thor has no axe. Not even his hammer. Tough luck we will get it next time. -

Getting that DI spot back for D would be huge. -

He would. If he is supported on the line and protected in snaps. But that isn’t worth 200k plus. A 200k plus a year guy needs to make the guys around him better. Not be propped up by other guys in order to succeed. Wj back at a reasonable rate with better pieces would be ideal. If it’s him or a younger dl who makes guys better around him for less, that’s an easy call imo. A di K really needs to be doing all the jobs to get Sergio money. A none imp/global or two to take over all 3 kicking duties would be sick. Agree across the board. -

Lmao true. Raise enough to upgrade the apple and road map to first class and steak with a side of gtfoh for a few guys. Take him back in a heart beat. I really like buck as a guy. Wasn’t a fan as a qb but I loved his heart and determination. I have a lot of love for zach too. But it’s time. -

Please hire buck Ryan. HMU I’ll pay the lions fine for salary cap overages this year if you do. -

I tend to agree. And I don’t think any one else will offer him the kind of money that might incentivize him to leave. -

And even then after the first pass when he came back. Every person watching knew it was over. To trot him out after that duck again and again is the peak of futility. -

Sounds good to me. He probably would if he could too. We can, by the way he botched contain and was exploited on read options by every single team in the league repeatedly never once making the play. Not once. You can say maybe they encouraged the playing the lanes when you can’t get to the qb. It’s fair to say that, and that we can’t fully gauge his performance. However, he has enough of a set of issues to say he does not warrant elite cfl dl money. On top of that, zero back side hustle to get in on plays. He’s still an effective player and will be in the league earning 6 figures next year. Deservedly so. But he’s too reliant on the other end/ a dominant nose to be paid like that. You can go back to the previous two years his performances were much worse with out JJ in the line up. Wj doesn’t make it easier for the other end, he needs the other end to be a consistent pass rusher. And even then, he’s bad in option and the run game. Just not enough player for 200k. -

It’s the only game of the year that was the case. JJ was as good in the cups and play offs, and more regular season games. Can’t pay a guy to show up for one game a year. -

They did, but we also saw him cringe hard with all the throws on the side line in clear discomfort. Idk what he was going through but even with the numbing it looked like hell. Made no sense to put him back in or keep him in. Especially when he struggled soo bad before the injury. -

I’d bring wj back but only at a steep discount. From 200k down to 140-150 range. Too many guys at end and dt that are better younger cheaper and more valuable to us. It also doesn’t make sense to give that much to a de who isn’t a two way monster modp candidate these days because ols get away with absolute muggings. Sacks are way down because of it and I think it will continue.
