2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)
Depends on his role I guess. Does a team want to pay north of 170k for a back-up? Kolo making 140k as a starter will not help him any, it sets a low bar for teams to use as a comparable. There are teams (western teams in Green in particular) that like to do dumb things so they could certainly give him a bad contract.

They need a new image for Return of Strevy Day. Might need to make that one a bit bigger though.

Bladek was also a healthy scratch for the last two-thirds of the season so I don't think 200k is realistic again this year for someone who wasn't even good enough to dress as a back-up.

Wade couldn't make the announcement until he made sure he was able to get his hands on enough fur coats to start selling them at the Bomber Store. 😂

FWIW, Kenny Lawler ran a 4.64 at the NFL combine. Hasn't seemed to hamper his ability as a receiver.

Agreed, He was also touted as the most pro-ready DL available and that's a big reason we took him. Didn't seem like that to me so I'm not sure how much room there is to grow for him.- 2023/2024 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season News
They already had their MLB replacement, just needed a new deal. He's not a Canadian though so they may have to shuffle things around for the ratio. https://3downnation.com/2024/01/29/man-in-the-middle-toronto-argonauts-re-sign-lb-jonathan-jones/- NFL thread

Yup, Stefansson spent over $100k on a recruitment trip to the Philippines that landed a whopping 23 new employees. Dropping a few bucks on Forbes to make GOM seem like a good place to work, would be nothing.- Around The NHL 2023-24
You should look back even further than because while they have won 15 straight, they had been heating up prior to that. They won 8 straight starting towards the end of November, including one against the Jets and one against Carolina, so they have beaten some of the teams you have mentioned. They've also lost to some of those teams like Florida.- Restaurant/food thread
The burger has already had multiple names - it was first called the Superhero burger as a tie-in to the Batman Forever movie but it's also been the Hockey Hero burger & the Triple Double burger. I don't think McDonalds cares too much as long as it sells.- 2023/2024 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season News
At least since 2019 - he may have come off and put back on at some point but the club has been watching/waiting for a few years now. https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/08/15/negotiation-list-revealed/- Which Vets do we cut next season
You asked about reps, not years of experience, so that's what I showed you - a direct comparison of how many snaps they took. Besides, all of that "experience" isn't quite what you make it out to be when you look at what he did and how long he was with those teams. For example, how much experience did he gain in the 36 hours that he was signed to the Bills? The only team he actually got any game experience with was the Arizona Rattlers. I wouldn't say he got years of experience kicking around like that any more than I would say Tyrell Ford got a year of NFL experience last year. As far as his time as a starter goes, it started prior to Ottawa. Harris started 16 games with Toronto in 2015, when Ray was hurt so teams got a good look at him that year. He signed with Ottawa in 2016, and Burris had re-structed his deal so neither guy was making big money (for a starting QB) that season - they were both going to make around $250k + play time bonuses. Ottawa had structured both QB contracts in a way that it was clear Harris was the starter in 2017. Burris was going to make 200k in 2017 while Harris made 400k. Burris retired before the season so it didn't really matter in the end. https://3downnation.com/2016/11/24/henry-burris-trevor-harris/ Harris had led the league in passing TD's in 2015 with Toronto (was 3rd in passing yards too) so I guess that was enough for Ottawa to feel justified in the payout.- Which Vets do we cut next season
He's done better than Arbuckle though. Harris isn't like Reilly either, he's somewhere in the middle. Brown could a Harris, Arbuckle or Reilly but time will tell (I don't like his odds in Ottawa though).- Which Vets do we cut next season

You're right that we currently don't but other teams might not have that flexibility so they would potentially need to pay BO and a back-up. Could get very expensive for a team to go that route.- Which Vets do we cut next season

TBF, they did go out and sign a big FA last year without letting those guys go - his name is Kenny Lawler and that was a pretty substantial signing. Most likely won't be able to do something similar this year without some of those moves though.- 2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)
