sweep the leg

Wheeler and Scheif are both better than Laine right now. I'm not sure how anybody could disagree with that.

I'm guessing Fenner isn't a Bomber if Westerman had re-signed.

I don't think Waud leaves the East. I remember from his draft that he didn't want to play too far from home.

As an accountant, I calculated that $50k more than $200k is $250k for Westerman this season. Edit: forgot to add, sweet sassy molassy is that a lot of cash for him.

Farhan Lalji‏Verified account @FarhanLaljiTSN 5m5 minutes ago So how much did the #Alouettes have to overpay for players? Westerman got 50k more than next closest offer. Mitchell White almost 40k above next closest. Tommy Campbell got 150k (big $ for a corner). Jake Harty in the 125k range.

Jeff Hamilton‏ @jeffkhamilton 2m2 minutes ago After taking a slow approach in free agency and wanting to weigh all his options, it looks like Jamaal Westerman has chosen the Montreal Alouettes. Interest came from many teams, including WPG, TOR and OTT. No word yet on years and money but expecting deal to be done today. #wfp

Heath and Bond were on rookie contracts.

What a crazy thing to say.

His effort level was really exposed when they had him with Schief and Wheeler on Friday. He's great on the pp, but he needs to improve in every other aspect. He's 19 and scores a **** tonne of goals, so I can't complain about him too much though...

JFG to the Redblacks.

Hurl to the Riders. He'll be a good backup, assuming they got him for a backup pricetag.

White re-signed in Edmonton. He and Gable are a pretty good combo. I'd love to know what he cost.

Interested to know if he's going to play guard or tackle for them. If they re-sign Campbell, he and Bond would be the best LT-LG combo in the league. If they signed Bond to play tackle, they have at best broken even.

Walter's basically came out and said this is what they'd do at his press conference last week. I'm paraphrasing, but he said they'd pay for offense and scout for defense.

Kane is tradeable. He's still an elite player. Toews has put in some hard miles though, and it's starting to show. I wouldn't want him with that contract.

Bit of a **** move releasing these guys an hour into fa.

Fearless fa predictions: - Westerman will get a ridiculous offer and sign with the Als - Bond & Konar both go to BC - Demski and Evan Gill both come home to Winnipeg - In addtion to Gill, we also sign Mrabure to cover the Canadian spots lost in Westerman & Thomas - Heath ends up back in Toronto -Messam goes to Hamilton - Larry Dean bidding goes too high and we pass on a fa mlb altogether, opting to go with Wild/JSK and scouting - Laurent goes back to Hamilton despite a huge offer from Montreal - Evans goes back to Sask - We'll use the mlb money to sign one of the top dbs available - we sign a 2nd tier Canadian OL for depth

Makes the Bowman signing even more important. Running out of good import receivers in FA.

Fogg has been re-signed per Jeff Hamilton.

No idea, that's just my $.02.

I'm thinking the hangup is that he disagrees with the idea he shouldn't cost much.

I was thinking of him too. Like those big school guys.

Is Walters' press conference over already?

What about them?
