Starting Cdns are amongst the highest paid Dline Robbie SMith at 305k (tell me that isnt a bigger overpay than Olivera), then next is Betts Dback - 3 of the top 4 highest paid are cdns - Ford (and he was just reupped at 230k), Dequoy, and Campbell (How is Kramdl the highest paid db on our team btw = other than because hes cdn) Oline top 3 salaries are cdn Hunter, Ferland Korte Recievers McInnis is the 2nd highest Demski 4th, and tell me how Gittens jr isnt a massive overpay at 210k. Just wait til mtrl's Philpot hits free agency this upcoming year. the highest paid rb as you mentioned Brady is in a class by himself and at qb another cdn Roarke.

Neither are overpays as thats what the market is for starting top cdns, just like Dobson,Ford, Mcinnis.robbie Smith etc. For the most part we have been unwilling to go go there so we ended up losing both Dobson and Ford and unable to replace them adequately. We tried to get "deals" which never happened

Im not sure about losing Demski or Olivera, after all how many were convinced that OShea and Walters would be back. I think its more about what happens with the OC position that effects Brady and what we are willing to pay.

By any measure for the last 6 years we have been the best performing team on and off the field. Both OShea and Walters deserve to be back

Maybe Bryant and or Jefferson, Lawson and Olivera.

The thing that might end up keeping OShea here is loyalty not to Wpg, but to the group of vets that want one more crack at winning See Zac's comments of wanting to return with the group he's battled with.

If OShea goes I wouldn't be surprised to hear Walters stay. . As for head coach maybe Khari or Calvillo?

something for osh to think about, theres a reason Dinwiddie didnt even listen to a counteroffer from Toronto.

In a way I think Hamilton/Bo levi fell into the Lawler trap, hes so good the qb focuses in on him and becomes almost one dimensional. Lawler had more targeted receptions and yards than White, Bridges and Smith combined. Those receivers are too good not to be utilized more

That doesnt explain why the no other team picked him up last year if as you say hes the most respected coach . Younger is more likely to get a hc than Jackson in the near future. Edmonton was a gong show in regards to their qb situation regardless of the pressure. He may be a good coach its just we have zero evidence during his time with this organization. I would much rather see us go outside our organization for once to replace Hogan, We need some new perspective

What did Jackson contribute this year to make him desirable as OC? There wasn't a single group on offence that didn't look disjointed. Nor has any player that I|ve seen commented that hes a good coach. an interesting combo Justin Dunk might be Kyle Carson as GM and Mark Meuller as hc

Gonna believe that Collaros is gonna show everyone that he's still the man. When playing against top qbs on other teams he seems to step up even more. GO BOMBERS!

our defense is as good as any in the league, And most of the issues people have are on fringe starters. I expect this game will be close and I won't be surprised if Willie is a difference maker

Was hoping we:f be able to add Jenkins, but then its a question of who comes off, we knew it wouldn't be Ayers. Griffen not added for same reason. I dont get Petersen , we could have gone without Ball or Kelly. Overall about what i expected. Have to wonder about the cohesiveness of our offence though. Mitchell nowhere around, now Clercius benched. The lack of faith on Hogan.etc Not concerned with whose listed as starter it changes in game
