Hamilton can pay Dru Brown $450,000 and still be paying less for him and BLM than we are paying Collaros with BLM's restructured deal. Hope he goes east but have a bad feeling he's headed to Calgary.

Damon Allen is the Saskatchewan Roughriders of CFL QBs.

I mean they got a pretty good look at Ford. He has no hope to pass the ball vs anyone who just spies him and plays zone. QB's who can't pass make you a non-playoff team. Yeah it's fun to watch him scramble around like a chicken with his head cut off 5 or 6 times a game. Really the only thing Edmonton fans should be grumpy about is taking themselves out of the Dru Brown sweepstakes for MBT. Sucks for us looks like Calgary will get him.

Cornelius will be 29. I'd take a rookie to be the short-yardage/development guy. Bombers have about 4 on neg list.

$100,000 of his 2024 base salary is guaranteed.

You’d be poor agent. You want a 3 year deal with guarantees and escalating hard money. Guy could get injured immediately. There’s a lot of variables and no one wants a 1 year deal. Brown has at least 3 suitors depending on what Hamilton decides. Sask is out if they are keeping Harris. Won’t have the cap space with his hard money to be competitive. I think Ottawa will have to outbid everyone absurdly for a few reasons including location and current staff.

Zero chance he's ever back up here. There's no cap on PR time anymore so even if he loses a step he'll have a job in the NFL until he's done.

February will be interesting when teams have the tampering period. I suspect one of our Western foes will get ahead of Ottawa, both Alberta teams will be involved. Edmonton is a little more handicapped with Cornelius guarantee. Maier is tradable after everything settles in free agency. At the absolute most the Bombers could probably offer 150. But Brown needs to play.

And what did Bo Levi do?

So about $200,000 USD difference not factoring taxes for a person who also doesn't necessarily live or train in Canada. If he's active for 8 games he blows the CFL salary out of the water. The CFL is not going to compete with the NFL. The guys in the CFL have to be ones who have more or less ended their NFL dreams.

Rourke has already made over $300,000 USD even being mostly on practice roster.

Thursday games before school is out are just about the dumbest scheduling the CFL can do. Thursday games should only be July and August.

I wouldn't even say Fajardo got hot. I'd say the Bombers defensive scheme was completely brutal in terms of blitzing and use of Cover 0/1 looks vs a QB that is so inaccurate. We gave his receivers a chance to make plays.

Collaros is way more in sync with Schoen I would say. If I was starting a team from scratch I'd take Lawler. He can do it all. Wish we'd use more screens and specifically to him, stuff to get the ball out faster. Especially need it when teams go heavy zone to take away the deep stuff.

Oliviera won't get close to 200k. Everyone understands that RB is the position most at risk of injury as well as being the most replaceable on the field. Nobody will commit those dollars to one player at that position. A handful of coaches/GM's don't believe in using Canadian backs as primary guys still because of the depth issues it can cause (you basically need to build your roster prepared to run an American back even if you have a Canadian starter). I think the absolute ceiling would be 160 hard money (this could be structured with a significant amount for reporting) with another 40-50 in performance/play time bonuses.

If you want to see a couple legit CFL QB prospects...NDSU-South Dakota FCS playoff game is on ABC. South Dakota is where Streveler played.

It's a typo on their website. He is an import.

We don't even know who is coming back or not. Currently about 2/3 of the team are free agents. So yeah there's a **** load of cap space in 2024, almost all of it.

MBT has been shopping himself since JULY. Ottawa and Hamilton both chose to roll with raw NCAA rookies in their very first season of pro football over bringing him in. They both had the cap space to give him exactly what he wanted last season with their starters on the 6 game. I'm not sure anyone will make the commitment to him that he expects in terms of guaranteed money.

Yeah I'm pretty deep into following the draft stuff and Oakman was falling incredibly well before the set of charges that came down right before the draft. He was one of the guys that was a sure-fire first rounder a year out (like after 2015 season the guys saying here's my 2016 draft board stuff) yeah mostly based on the freak body stuff and a jumbotron shot at the Cotton Bowl. His senior year ON THE FIELD was awful and he was already off a lot of draft boards according to reports. Here's a NFL.com one before the charges which happened the month of his draft in 2016. This basically summarizes his CFL career. Low motor, weak lower body, gets moved around at will. Yeah it's damn sexy when a 6'9 ball of muscle catches a back or QB at full speed. But that's like 3 times a year.

Milanovich is right there for them. Hard to believe he wouldn’t end up being the HC given that most of the candidates around the league have already settled into their assistant roles.

If Oakman was NFL talent he would have got a look even with history. He's a freak sure, but down by down he's playing a position that needs consistency and he's way too easy for OL to move around.

They will dump all of them but Crum and Adams. Go after a veteran in free agency/trade. Shiltz and Dolegala would be top of my list if we need a #2 QB of the guys who are pending free agents. Not counting Brown, the rest have no ability to pass the ball at all.

3 year 300k hard money (at least 100k year 1 at signing) per year plus bonuses that push it to 400-450 based on performance and roster is the floor. Could get some guaranteed money to seal it with 3-4 bidders. So $1 million-$1.5 million over 3 years ball park. Edmonton, Calgary, Hamilton, Ottawa are for sure in running. Calgary has least flexibility until they trade Maier which would happen if they hooked Brown. Hamilton and Ottawa have tons of flexibility. One of them will end up with Brown or Maier for sure.

The cap for the roster is only going up $75,000. There's no way the operations cap would go up that much.
