A better comparison would be Reillys first contract as a starter to Browns. Pretty similar starting points if I'm remembering correctly.

I think you're forgetting he signed that contract while still a backup to Rourke. They were so set on VA being the #1 they went out and got Evans too. Like others have said his contract has been re-worked. Also what a weird ass hill to die on lol.

I'm honestly baffled people thought he'd get less than 300k. After the Edmonton game I remember saying he just wrote himself a big cheque! Good for him. Hopefully it pans out.

No. We are losing a minimum of 1 we this off season I'd bet. Need competition for every spot and when you look at bodies on the field at any given time, there are more WR than RBs.

Read it again. Huff is special advisor to the GM

Agreed. I was just pointing out that we don't technically need a back up NI RB with the way we've been using the roster lately.

Normally this is true, but we've been starting more Canadians than needed the last few years I believe.

I have a personal agenda against Investors group, so I'm fine that they won't be keeping the name. For what it's worth Princess Auto has a lot of roots in Wpg. The family members I know seem pretty solid. And they own TCB so expect more availability!!

Agreed, but a 14-4 record would indicate radically different decisions didn't need to be made.

Without BO we still have a home town kid that will be heavily featured on the team.

I can see ssk going for either Bailey or Schoen

This is a bad take. A rookie leading the league in yards doesn't fly off the page? And then backing it up with another fantastic season....keep in mind in his rookie campaign, he was the guy. There was no Lawler etc taking coverage away. Schoen is top 2 rec in the league right now easily.

What a fall off this guy had. From TD Jake to.....Jake who?

Bombers signed a qb today as well.

That was always going to be the case for at minimum a few hours this off season.

Could have should have but didn't. All of that doesn't matter. The facts are Brown was always hitting the market, most teams seemed ok to wait for him. Ottawa became a bit more desperate

We have essentially 1 other that matters in the sense random people can name them.

I'm not sure why people think they didn't get enough, or dropped the ball. Lol. As soon as that clock hit 00:00 in the Grey Cup, Brown was gone. He was never coming back regardless of the wishful thinking. Getting anything for what is essentially an unproven QB who was absolutely going to the FA market is a very solid move. Good luck to Brown. And Fantastic move by Walters.

Brady saying he wants to make more has turned him into an evil villian around these parts, that isn't even all that good and was a beneficiary of outstanding OL play more than anything.

Gittens isn't wolli though. He's a younger Demski with IMO a higher ceiling. Solid move by Jones.

Why?

I hope to God Saks lands Brown. The amount of money they'd have tied up in that position (assuming they'd have to out bid ott) would very much hamper their ability to shore up all the other areas of need.

Brown to Ottawa confirmed....lol

To be fair there are a lot more variables that can decide a QBs play. Route running, blocking, play call etc.

Not in the day to day. But he knows what he wants this team to look like and he's absolutely had a hand in building it. Whether you're right or wrong, what I said remains true. This team is about the community off the field and ground and pound on it.
