This guys a starting NI tackle the same way Pencer and Swiston are otherwise he isn't getting traded for a rental.

but that still doesn't make this trade any better. You could make another trade to get another pick without having to lose this trade.

Henoc gets MOP, MODP, MOC, hell let's let him play one game on the o-line and call him the most outstanding o-lineman too

then Walters should have found another deal or just not traded him. Hell I'd rather get just a 2nd round pick than have to add our 2nd round pick to make a deal happen.

when you're trading rental players you are doing it with an eye to rebuilding, if you're rebuilding you don't give up the better draft picks. Hall for this guy fine but having to add the 2nd round pick, which will be a high 2nd round pick is just unacceptable. Neufeld needs to turn into a damned good player for this trade to be worth it but right now one of the best DEs in the league and a 2nd round pick for a backup offensive lineman and a 4th round pick is not a good trade. You have all the leverage here you should not be the one giving up the better draft pick. Highly unlikely the Bombers had much leverage. Whole league knew Hall is going to the NFL. they had ALL the leverage because they didn't need to trade him and whoever is trying to get him obviously sees him as a missing piece to a championship. In that case you have all the leverage you aren't the one who has to upgrade the other teams draft pick. This is a rookie getting taken to school by a veteran GM. Walters should have played hard ball. Losing guys in FA isn't the worst, there's going to be lots of player movement this offseason anyway keep your 10th overall draft pick and find a backup NI offensive lineman somewhere else. Or if Sask really wants Hall they can give you this guy without the draft picks involved.

We're giving up one of the best defensive linemen in the league AND we have to sweeten the deal with a better draft pick? **** that noise Walters got taken to school on this one.

It's too late, apathy has set in no one cares anymore. That's much worse for the team than people being angry and there's nothing they can say that will change that.

Getting real tired of your **** Burke. If he put half the effort into preparing the players as he does to making excuses maybe this team wouldn't get creamed every bloody week

Players and coaches without a doubt. I cut Bellfool some slack only because he doesn't have the horses but Creehan is hands down the worst defensive co I have ever seen. The players he has are nowhere near as bad as he makes them seem. Our defense is ever so slightly better than in 2005 I think which is really sad when you consider how much more talent is on the defense now compared to then.

if they retain burke to save money mark my words it will cost them far more money in the long run because people just won't show up.

This might be the worst Bomber team ever, scratch that, I don't think there is a might.

was it really worse though? This is putrid

be careful what you say about this team. Don't under estimate just how inept they can be.

It's Mcmahon, it's always a nightmare, I shudder to think how bad it will be with an inept head coach, probably as bad as it was last year there. First year that I can honestly say I'm not dissappointed that I can't be there to watch.

This isn't the first time. That's the cold hard truth. It's been a long time since things have been this bad though. Mike Kelly era wasn't that long ago. This isn't the first time. That's the cold hard truth. It's been a long time since things have been this bad though. Mike Kelly era wasn't that long ago. Mike Kelly era were the good times compared to what Burke is putting us through. At least Kelly looked like he gave a damn about making the team better. Burke don't give a ****, he's happy to lose in OT cause at least it was close for once!

That's the worst part about things right now, I ain't even mad I'm just apathetic and if even a die hard like me is having trouble caring there's going to be a lot of empty seats in that stadium.

you can't keep pulling your asses out of the fire all season if you're the Argos, sooner or later the crappy starts were going to catch up to them. as for the late game, **** the riders, that's all.

yes

Really, why? Give us your take. Well ... the suggestion that Alex Hall is somehow worth Darian Durant is laughable, just for starters. You have to take into account how much of a Durant hater he is though

that they still have Boltus listed at #2... oh my stars that's painful

anymore? It's been a looooong time since they've given the impression of actually giving a ****.

Fleecing or nothing, he's one of the few reasons this team has for fans to actually show up or tune in and watch. Don't settle for a token draft pick if you're moving him, make whoever wants him pay if they want him.

Simpson done, Matthews done, Hall maybe being traded, running out of things to actually look forward to.

**** off if the best you're looking for is a 2nd rounder I'd just as soon let the guy walk for nothing. If a team wants to add one of the best DEs in the league for their playoff run they can bloody well pay up. A 2nd round pick is peanuts.
