Says who? Or are you just assuming and making things up on the fly again? Says you!! You wrote - > Again, I'm aware of that, but I think it would be a shame if bickering with Henry over X amount of dollars ends up costing us someone like Henoc. I find your posts to be far from Perfect.... I'd say you're more Brooklyn Brawler with the continuous fails that you make. So this team now has 3 qbs under contract... none of them are making "big money" .... They offered Collaros more money then Hamilton ..... so for some reason you don't think they cant use that same "pot" of money to put towards Burris???? This team is loaded with young guys are very few "big time all stars" so how is it that a team like Calgary can afford to re-sign Tate and Mitchell and sign a cfl vet for a 3rd stringer and yet still be able to pay big money for their all stars like Cornish , Lewis and so many others...... yet Winnipeg wouldn't be able to sign Burris (at a discounted price) and Muamba??? I love how Winnipeg's salary cap is apparently only 20% the size of every other teams..... Having the right mindset isn't always the popular mindset. Now, coming from a guy who was serious about inquiring about Steven Jyles last year...pot meet kettle. Someone like Henoc is an EXAMPLE hence why I said "someone like". The cap will go up, and probably a decent amount because of the new TV deal. The fact is, is that guys like (but not limited to) Turner, Vega, Edwards, Banks, January, Henoc (if he signs) all get paid handsomely. If the team decides to pursue top tier free agents from other teams they will also get paid handsomely. If you think Burris is coming here at a discounted price, you are kidding yourself since there have been reports he has offers in excess of $300,000. Granted that's fair market value for him, and that price will continue to climb as teams continue to negotiate. You're kidding yourself, and frankly making a fool out of yourself (again) if you think Burris is coming here at a discounted price. I never once said Burris signing here would cost us Muamba. I suggested as a hypothetical (that isn't too big of a word for you is it?) that it would be a shame if a band-aid solution in Burris ended up costing us "someone like" Muamba. But hey, keep making yourself look silly, I'm certainly not going to stop you. Once again how does every other team manage to sign free agents while having a high priced qb and lots of other all stars on their team...... you are making yourself look silly. Burris has to come at a discounted price.... using your ridiculous theory how could any other club in the CFL "afford" Burris at a high price when they already have a QB on their team making big money. Discounted price is still higher then what Hall or Pierce was making last season... but it's not like he is going to be making the most money in the league considering he was dumped and his *only* chance at starting is with Winnipeg. Turner, Vega, Edwards, Banks, January, Henoc ???? How did Saskatchewan manage with Durant, Sheets, Dressler, Getzlaf, Geroy Simon, Labatte, Picard, Chick , Foley, Hall etc.... How did Calgary afford Glenn, Tate, Mitchell, Cornish, Lewis, Hughes, Simpson, Tsoumpas etc... But apparently from your theory us signing a bunch of average guys equals us not being able to sign both a QB and one NI LB.... it's hilarious. This team *should* be able to sign a whole crap load of players considering we were the youngest team and we by far had the cheapest set of QB's across the league last year. So many guys on entry level contracts and so few big time players.

But hasn't this been the story of Pavs career starting in Atlanta..... up and down and zero consistency? Which was exactly like the team playing in front of him... But Montoya has been playing much better even when the team in front of him have stunk it up (see Win vs Chicago last week)

When was the last time a team signed and had a press conference on a Weekend.... specially Superbowl weekend!??? Would make only sense to make the announcement mid week...

But hasn't this been the story of Pavs career starting in Atlanta..... up and down and zero consistency?

And once again the fans think we can only afford one player in free agency....

But I've heard of him before!!! And he was in Montreal, every player they have is great! And he had more success then Hall, Goltz and Elliott and whoever else you want to start for our team...

Nieswander has a decent arm and looked good out there. Hall definitely has a weak arm and the whole likes to float the ball like Ricky ray isn't a good excuse.

That game tonight was much closer then it should of been.... the difference in goaltending really showed tonight. While Lack did let in a softy or two..... he robbed us of 3 goals easily. Pavs on the other hand.... making the flashy saves leaving him out of place and luckily the defense bailed him out when he did that late in the 3rd. He wasn't terrible by any means... but he wasn't rock solid either. I really don't understand why Montoya doesn't get more games? The numbers don't lie.... Worst defenseman on the team this season was Clitsome by a mile.... the only guy I see really struggling now with Maurice would be Ladd... the guy is invisible , is scared to take the puck to the net (hence the slapshots from a mile away despite having a clean lane to the net) and he just doesn't seem to be anywhere in the offensive zone. The guys who have stepped up and who you notice playing lately have been Schiefle , Setoguchi and Little.....

If Montreal were to sign him then Nieswander would be a very solid guy to go after.

Well *if* they sign Burris it would be the first time since like 2009 that they signed a qb with any sort of cfl success. Mack failed bigtime at doing that. Same goes for having a cfl coordinator with experience.... If we had any sort of qbing and offense Mack and Burke / Lapo would still be here

Positivity?? Its been so long!

No they won't, Montreal has 3 guys who started and had success.. Edmonton isn't paying Reilly to sit on the bench. Nichols aside from injuries had looked good. I doubt they sign him. It'll either be Winnipeg , BC or back with the Riders.

I can't wait until 17 jumps on the bandwagon and starts frothing from his mouth about how awesome Hank is!

This thread delivers! I want them to sign Willy simply for all the potential awesome threads!

Good trade in my books, we need a few vets on this team. This team was really young during Mack's time and with poor coaching it was really double trouble. With Banks at least they have a guy that doesn't require his hand being held and he can go out and play.

That should clear up salary in order for us to sign Willy for 400 000 dolla

Am I the only one who still thinks Austin is over rated?

Or we can wait until he's officially a free agent in 2 weeks?

Boltus *shudder* i realllllly hope that experiment has run its course.. Im nervous that with marcel back.... It hasnt. It really would be nice to know WHO decided and why they gave Boltus play time while Goltz sat on the bench..... I'd feel at least slightly relieved if it was revealed that Burke insisted on playing him rather then MB....

Lets see what happens *if* Collaros starts off cold and then LeFevour gets some playing time.... wouldn't it be hilarious if the Zach-Attack was put on hold and didn't get his incentive bonuses because LeFevour and Masoli were getting more reps ...

It would also be nice to go into a season with a qb who is not injury prone.

I was going to say the very same thing as a joke. I hope you were also joking.... Back to topic I wonder if the Blue would want him rather then Banks?

Ouch
