Mike

Love that for us

Is it really any different than you repeatedly whining about whining? At least the other people repeating themselves are actually talking football

I don’t know if I’d be in a hurry to give up our DB’s, could become a trouble spot in our D real quick depending on who the voices in the room bringing all these studs in were

I also don’t have a ton of faith, but I’m also of the mindset (and so far, it’s playing out that way) that we may have quite a few open spots this year so O’Shea might not have a choice

Honestly, given the scouting additions we just made, I want them to have every opportunity to go out and find the next Orimolade instead of bringing one in on a big price tag. These are guys that can find impact front 7 guys

Toronto trades Orimolade to Calgary for Cam Judge Interesting

Just to reiterate this, since I’ve seen it mentioned a couple times in this thread. the Bombers didn’t do Wilson a solid at all, they don’t have a choice. I don’t know why teams typically word it as a release, it’s a player opt-out that the teams have no ability to deny as long as it’s within the time the option window is open (January 6 to mid-February) Wilson opted out of his contract and signed an acknowledgment that if he returns to the CFL, it’s under the terms of the previous contract he opted out of.

I really wanted Deslauriers to join our staff We didn’t release him early

I mean, this is good for the CFL We still have his rights if he comes back this season

Pokey to the Jets

I remember like probably about 15 years ago (christ I am old) I was at a social at Oak Park and Mike Richards was there. He went out to the parking lot and I walked by and said “hey Flyers suck!” and he called me and a buddy over and said yeah they do suck I hate it there I wanna get traded, gave me a Pabst Blue Ribbon and we shot the **** for five minutes before we grabbed a picture and went on our way. He got traded like a month later.

If this is what you think, you are sorely mistaken. This isn’t even just a CFL thing, it’s a NFL thing, pretty much just a pro sports thing. to think that these guys won’t vent to the public from time to time is crazy lol especially when you realize Booch isn’t really the “common public” to them, he’s a guy they see probably multiple times every week at the gym.

Bingo. When the standard is excellence, whether you’ve created that standard or not, that’s the bar you’ve got to reach and if you don’t ….

Don’t take it to heart. Every Canadian is a starter.

Lol this is so stupid you don’t think players talk at the gym? when they go to physio? These guys are human beings, just like you and I. They talk. They talk for impact, they talk to vent, they talk to hear perspective. The only reason you’re discounting it is because you don’t like what he’s saying.

Tony Jones isn’t an impact player. He’s an average MLB, above average rotational piece.

I don’t know if I’d gamble on that this early on. Especially with this year’s draft being so thin on OL, you’re not going to replace Wallace so I’d try to keep Dobson for sure

McKellar is the only one that stands out

I’m okay having Neufeld here. By all accounts, amazing locker room guy and unlike a few others he actually did return to form

Maybe, but we at least for sure know we didn’t do anything else with our 2024 cap. Those contracts wouldn’t need to have been announced by the club, but they would have needed to have been filed with the league before Jan 1 and nothing was

I mean look at how spending big on an impact MLB transformed our team back when we got Bighill when he didn’t suck

Sounds like we lost Bourgoin to BC

“I really don’t care about other teams, I just talk about them and then when someone corrects my false statement I get an attitude about it” lol

That’s what this part of player acquisition looks like. You’re not paying for what he’s done, you’re paying for what you think he’ll do. I think it’s a decent deal for Philpot.

Haven’t we done the same thing?
