Brandon

I'd assume he's on the trading block now...

I most definitely agree with this statement!

I'm pretty sure stadiums don't really impact a players decision. Unless its a complete stink hole.

As a fan I'm not disappointed in Walters.. at least he made offers and an attempt to acquire these qbs. It wasn't like the last few years when they settled for Buck without any effort to replacing him. I'll curious to see what they do now. If Walters can't sign Willy and or trade for DeMarco/Glenn then I will have lost all hope

Then Neiswander becomes available And that helps us how exactly? I don't understand the love for Neiswander ... at all. I don't want him I'm just saying he becomes available since marsh and smith re upped. Me personally at this point I'd rather we go Willy or trade for Demarco

Now would we as fans be opposed to making a trade for DeMarco?

Then Neiswander becomes available

Wow well good on Walters! I wonder what happens with Glenn then... I think I rather go through growing pains with Willy then Glenn again...

I definitely am surprised and I won't make any future he definitely will sign us posts for any players. The fall out of this... I'm guessing Glenn goes to BC.

If Kohlert *wanted* to play in Ottawa you would think they would of signed the guy to an extension by now?

We had $200,000 to play with in December and still couldn't sign Henoc... ouch. We could have offered $100,000 signing bonus and not even felt it this year... dude is gonzo. What does that have to do with signing Henoc. He's trying out for the NFL. He wouldn't have signed until he exhausted his options. This is true..... *if* he were to get on with an NFL team he would be making it rain a lot harder then by him signing for "big" money in the CFL.

I don't think Moore is a guy that would sway a player to sign with one team rather then another. In regards to Ottawa Burris clearly would be in competition with Glenn and DeMarco and it's pretty clear that Ottawa would give each guy a fair shake .... so his potential to start and his potential to earn those extra incentive dollars are much lower in Ottawa. It doesn't make sense to me.

Why trade for Glenn when you know that he will just end up being cut

Unable to do so as he is still property of the Riders. Do we know if the Riders made an offer?

The Ball is in Hanks court, I'm curious to see if Willy ends up with us in the end

This off-season just gets more and more underwhelming. These two guys are probably the absolute lowest priority signings we have. So you'd prefer we didn't sign them at all? Or just sign them and not announce it? I don't get the negative spin on this. It just "is". Another Blue Bomber fan myth.... Apparently you can only sign one player at a time and in priority order....

I agree on this being a good article and by Lawless this is quite refreshing. I think as long as willy is a free agent there is no need to panic. I wonder if the Blue have made an offer to Willy yet?

Unless Ottawa is prepared to release/trade Glenn? Why would they draft him then? Plus Glenn is a much better team player ...

Worst case scenario then would be to sign Willy which is still better then our situation last year with Buck!

Yeah. We wouldn't want to overshadow the "Superbowel Extravaganza" Sunday with the Burris signing. Well the fair weather fans I think would be excited for the team signing Burris.... this would get the Blue Bombers back in the local news and would *hopefully* sell some extra season tickets. It would only make sense to make the announcement on a slow news day.

Mr Perfect believes that Edmonton may go for Burris based on them having a new coach? I don't believe this is true at all , but if it were to be true my thoughts would be that Reilly would then become expendable and we could swing a deal for him since the odds of Edmonton wanting to pay $300 000 for 2 QBs would be extremely low. I would LOVE it if you could show me where I said Edmonton's reason for pursuing Burris was because they have a new coach. What I did say was, and has been noted in print as to why Edmonton is also pursuing Burris is because there are people within the Eskimos organization who apparently are not sold on Reilly. Who those people are exactly we can speculate on all day, but I never once mentioned Chris Jones being the reason why Edmonton is talking to Burris. So what happens to Reilly if Edmonton is not in favor of keeping him. What other teams would be willing to trade or sign him at his starter salary dollars? Quick make a list of teams looking for a starter! What other teams were interested in that guy last year when he was a FA... HMMMMMM

Just like it's a lock that we're getting Burris for a discounted rate as you put it, even though he is looking for a raise compared to his last contract in Hamilton, right? Who is going to pay him more then what he made in Hamilton last season? If he is wanting $300 000 as you suggested.... how will those other teams be able to pay him when they already have QB(s) making starter salary??

I would think more so the fact that they are paying Pavs big money to start and that Montoya is due up for a new contract next season is the main reason he is not starting every game. If it were only about the talent and not about the money then in years past guys like Antropov would of been scratched every game.

Reilly and Smith are going nowhere.....
