    They lost Holmes, McEwen and Bomben. At best Blake and Blazdek are equal to Holmes and Bomben, but probably a bit of a downgrade. They are scrambling fill holes in a terrible roster that lost most of its top players.

    A guy who hasn't played a game since 2017. A guy who has never played Canadian football. Yeah wait and see is fair. I doubt he has a significant impact, might be a good player but doubt he's a star, hasn't been at any other level. He's not going to be a better CFLer than Derel Walker or SJ Green, even Armanti Edwards.

    Way too much for Daniels. He's been garbage when he's been anything more than a #3 target. Huge drop off for the Argos from Walker-Green-Edwards.

    QB: Collaros/McGuire RB: HARRIS, AUGUSTINE, OLIVIERA, MILLER, RUSH REC: Adams, Lawler, WOLITARSKY, DEMSKI, Bailey, Nelson, Whitehead, Grant, PETERMANN, FEOLI-GUDINO OL: Bryant, Hardrick, NEUFELD, DESJARLAIS, COUTURE, SPELLER, GRAY, ELI DE: Jeffcoat, Jefferson, HANSEN DT: THOMAS, Richardson, GRIFFITHS SAM: Maston MLB: Bighill, MILES WIL: Wilson, BRIGGS, GAUTHIER, CALVER CB: Jones, EXUME HB: Taylor, Johnson S: Alexander, HALLETT LS: REMPEL, LATOUR K/P: Medlock After that, all rookies. By my estimation there's probably a job at DT, a DI spot on the DL, DI spot at LB, and couple jobs in the secondary up for grabs.

    I'm thinking Green found out in the last 2 weeks that he was not going to get a CFL deal with much guaranteed money.

    Edmonton's radio guy tweets Eskimos active in discussions today with Posey and Roosevelt...those guys get released, or is he reporting that the Eskimos are in fact tampering?

    Best thing they did was keep Vince McMahon far away, given up the hope of competing with the NFL/CFL and all the gimmicky crap out of the broadcasts. That's what sunk the first iteration. They also have more talent to draw from with Arena ball being all but dead outside of basically one legitimate league in the mid-west/west coast now. They have legitimate broadcasting partners who put resources into those broadcasts, the people calling/covering those games were people who work on NFL/NCAA broadcasts, they weren't the Z team. The only issue is converting that to capital as they are truly filler at this point. They will have to post consistent numbers >1 million/game to have value.

    If he signs the price of those tickets should be added to the Argos cap number.

    Hamilton has a pretty cheap offense and might be counting on half of Masoli's salary not counting if he starts the season on IR.
  10. JuranBoldenRules
    Maybe but I don't believe they would want to trade anyone on the roster for that. I think it's more likely they would deal someone closer to the season or maybe a little ways into the season to get somebody a shot to play if they are say the 8th OL on the depth chart. I mean we talk about how many OL we have but we needed all of them last season, they all played and almost all of them started.

    I don't believe the Bombers give two shits about recovering picks. They don't have roster spots and any guys with any chance of getting a NFL shot will not be signing under the new CBA rules until those are exhausted. Go through the roster, where is there a spot to slot in a rookie Canadian on the gameday roster? We have more OL than we can roster, we have 3 NI tailbacks, we have two pretty good fullback/TE types who are monster special teamers, we have 3 NI receivers, we have Thomas, we have Briggs, Gauthier, we have Hallett, Exume and we have a guy like Griffiths who we've been developing on the DL. The only two spots we might want a high-end guy are DL and DB, but any of the DL are going to do the NFL thing and really unlikely you can draft a guy at DB who steps up day 1 on D. I think the Bombers are just fine picking late in the 2nd round and then mostly in the mid-late rounds this year.
  12. JuranBoldenRules
    Exactly. Unless there is a significant signing bonus in year 1 that isn't being offered without the term nobody is taking more than a one-year deal. The potential for trade you mention is just another reason why.
  13. JuranBoldenRules
    There's no upside in term for the players. The contracts aren't guaranteed.
  14. JuranBoldenRules
    The current McEwen team has the most passive aggressive communication, especially for a team trying to accomplish the same goal. That lead is a real ******. The bigger problem is the panic McEwen works himself into when he has a tough end and struggles to read the ice. He takes himself right out of games. Gunnlaugson is crazy but he keeps things positive and stays calm.
  15. JuranBoldenRules
    Not willing to play for peanuts.
  16. JuranBoldenRules
    Wonder if Lawler ends up playing the boundary. Adams has struggled like crazy there to find any consistency and often ended up in the slot more than anywhere else. Buck obviously will have some different ideas. Adams is decent value at 140k, still room to add someone >200k probably at the cost of adding that money into the secondary and going young/value there. I'm not a huge fan of Bailey as anything other than a fill-in. Plays real hard but nothing special in terms of routes or hands. Even if they don't add a big free agent I think he has a tough time making the roster.
  17. JuranBoldenRules
    Weird thought Landry Jones was supposed to be face of the league as Dallas QB.
  18. JuranBoldenRules
    It's almost like free agency is a negotiation.
  19. JuranBoldenRules
    Brescacin will get a deal close to Wolitarsky's on the open market.

    I think they've sort of hit the perfect window to where if it's going to work it will be in this time of year. Season ends basically when NHL/NBA playoffs start, Sunday after NFL Draft. The on-field product would be as good as it could be if they had more normal special teams, that stuff is hard to wrap you're head around. None of the games have been close enough for the 9 point TD to come into play. They could steal some of the CFL pre-snap rules to mitigate the shitty quarterbacking, unlimited motion. I think a lot of the ideas trialed here will be adopted by NFL and CFL, like spotting the ball faster to cut down on time between plays and having the coach's mic to QB open to all players to speed up playcalling. I don't believe the TV/Streaming rights will have any significant value though.
  21. JuranBoldenRules
    I like the refs and replay booth being fully mic'd and available to viewers. CFL could implement this very easily. Gives insight into calls being made and is entertaining. Still slow as hell to complete reviews though.
  22. JuranBoldenRules
    Maybe they don't want those guys?
  23. JuranBoldenRules
    Trestman's Tampa Vipers playing today. Man the Meadowlands looks empty with 10,000 people in it.
  24. JuranBoldenRules
    I think it has decent potential if they figure out how to help out the QB's to get the ball out quicker (unlimited motion, forward motion for the guys not on the line) and give up on the kickoff nonsense (with all the blockers lined up flat 5 yards across from cover team also lined up flat there is no chance for a return). Will it be popular enough to pull eyeballs from NCAA basketball on spring weekends and money from broadcasters? We'll see. To me it basically fills the niche that the Arena league filled at its peak. If it goes for multiple seasons it will be interesting to see if the flat salary structure can hold.
  25. JuranBoldenRules
    Maybe more exciting than a game between the 29th and 30th best QB's. There's been one QB out of four so far who is a reasonable passer, the guy on LA. They'd be smart to adopt some rules that would actually help the offenses and QB's out, like allowing unlimited motion pre-snap. Special teams has basically been taken out of this game which doesn't add to excitement IMO. That's where the better coached teams shine through and tons of big plays happen, plus plays that set up scores, exchanges of field position. So far through 6 quarters almost every offensive drive is starting around their own 30, field position is not a part of this game because of the rules. Big plays on D are exciting too!
