I believe the cap is going up again substantially. By how much, who knows? This time, Walters better be prepared & quit blaming the CFLPA for everything.

You mean Kurley Gittens Jr. Sure, he'd be okay. He had a disappointing season in Edmonton nwhere his production was down. I believe he was injured. .

We cwertainly do but that's why we're here. We had a good discussion. WE both want the same thing... Now changing the field size won't be an iisue.

Oliveira was the heir apparent to Harris. It was obvious that he was losing it as he got older. He definetly lost a step at the end of his career. We don't have an heir apprent ar RB or QB. If we let him walk then we'll have another huge hole. Yes, you will lose STH's as we'll lose more than win. Just look west to Calgary. They let their veterans leave. They went from a team drawing 25-30000 a game to 12000-19000 a game. Fans were pissed off. I see the same scenario here starting to happen with the Bombers if Brady leaves. .

You need to keep your star players. Someone like Brady is needed to sell tickets. If he leaves they could lose as substtantial amount of STH's. Other teams have kept their marquis players. Walters has to figure it out.

Well, the reality is if you don't pay then you lose. If you were a GM you'd be fired in your third year (standard contract) as your team is losing. It's all about winning. And prioritizing whjo you sign. Taking the money designated for Jake Thomas & giving it to someone else in order to keep another..

Ha, ha. He'll like that. I respect 17to85's opinions.

He does yell a lot but I know Jim personally. I met Jim when he was Stamps HC in 2003. We became friends, I used to get the inside scoops on the Stamps from him as long as I never told anyone which I never did. I never betrayed him. I felt priveliged I knew more than the beat writers covering the team. So, he'd tell me that the Stamps signed this guy or that guy. I knew the Stamps signed Jermaine Copeland a month before the Stamps announced it publicly. Jim is an excitable man. He is passionate about the CFL & it comes through with his booming voice & his excitement. He may not be everyone's cup of tea but he knows his stuff. I missed him on the panel this past season.

You guys are dinosaurs living in 2021. Salaries are going up & so is the cap. As a team, if you don't go along with it then you lose out. Every team will have to pay as they have marquis players they want to keep. There are players fans belleve don't deserve the $$$ they are asking for but will get it elsewhere.

I don't get the hate for Barker. He knows the CFL inside & out more than anyone on that panel except for LaPo. He's an insider like Barker.

Bierness is a terrible host. I wouldn't miss her at all if she was replaced. Henoc Muamba has grown on me. he speaks plainly & says what the fans think without getting too technical. He doesn't yell as much as he used to. Sanchez knows his stuff but he has no personality. Suitor needs to retire. I liked Barker. I don't know why they replaced him.

He hasn't been with TSN since 2024.

GCn20 likes to use the word astronomical. The market is what it is. We CAN'T afford to lose Oliveira because of the message it sends the fanbase. Season tickets will start being cancelled. Forget consecutive sellouts. That'll be a thing of the past. Yeah agree. Then why sign with the Riders. He could go elsewhere & get the money. We have a lot of deadwood on the roster that can be chucked. The only reason not signing Oliveira will be Walters being cheap. IF he wants to sign Oliveira, he will.

I couldn't remember if it was Mason Rudolph or Garrett who swung the helmet.

Remember the game when Pittsburgh Steelers QB allegedly made a racial slur at Myles Garrett in 2019? Garrett went off on him & a brawl ensued with Garrett being suspended. I don't thnk Rudolph was suspended or fined.

He deserves it. He had a great season. Finally got the choke collar off him. He actually can stay healthy & win the last game he plays. The Riders wanted him back so I'm sure they paid. Dollah, dollah bills, y'all. I'll say one thing, the Riders have nuthin' behind him as starting material. Just like us. We have nuthin' behind Collaros. Piss poor planning by the Canadian Mafia. As much as I think Dru Brown plays like a pot head with no emotion or excitement, he'd still be a better option than what we have now.

I'm just guesssing but unless he wants to bring The Boyz back for one more try at a championship, I'd say Collaros, Kelly & Rourke money. He'd be crazy to not cash in when he can at his age. You don't know that for sure. Walters says they don't renegotiate contracts.

Not saying that Jefferson will discover his game from 2021 but better players in the interior DL will give him a chance to be a better player himself. Let's put it this way, if he has better players on the interior & he still becomes invisible then we'll know for sure that his career is coming to an end. No one can really judge Jefferson fairly right now with the slugs we have starting inside on the DL.

Put Jefferson on a DL that gets pressure from the Tackles & I'm pretty sure you'd see his production increase noticeably. We talk about Koala bringing down the OL & how everyone suffers for his poor play... Take Thomas out of the mix, get some size & an actual run stopper at the 0 & 1 technique in a 3 & 4 man front & he'd be a different player.

Onln negative I see is he's a D3 player so what kind of OL competition did he line up against? You can't tell that in the video.

No kidding, Brady loses touches if we're behind. All running backs have that happen. It doesn't mean that we don't pay. Oliveira's a tank. He responds to more work. So, if we have a lead in the fourth qurter, we unleash the running attack & he controls the game wearing down opoosition defenses. Last year, we had a dumbass OC who never used him properly all season long. Like I said, we lose Oliveira it's a clear sign that this is a cheap organization. That they don't spend any money, on other teams or on our free agents. One other question, just what is astronomical when it comes to salary with Lawler, Hatcher, Zach, Harris, & Philpott??

Booker T & The MG's. Time Is Tight:

I don't get why this storyline couldn't have been on Blue Bloods. I guess it costs money to do a series with an ensemble with Tom Selleck is in it. Sean has become a stud from the fat slob he became on Blue Bloods. Look, the kid can run & actually act. Oh, sorry different actor.
