Great player but I can't see him sticking in the NFL.

When was the last time Collaros won a game? The Riders can have him.

I’m afraid some bigger names are going to be the cap victims.

Bond and either Heath or Westerman would be nice to have back. JSK has adequately replaced Wild at this point,

I’d love to have Durant as a backup. Despite his poor year, I’d still much rather have him than the likes of Glenn.

Yup, even the leagues in Winnipeg and etc play 7 on 7.

This sounds like everything the Drew Willt fan base said when he was benched for Nichols. Lets not forget that Masoli outplayed Collaros in 2016 as well as 2017. That’s two years running. I have zero reason to believe that Collaros will regain his prior form at this point in time.

Dressler is still a very good player, and really symbolizes what an O’Shea team is all about. It would be nice if we can make him our number three receiver.

Playing with him, he always reminded me of Doug Brown. He’s a beast on the O-line too. He could have a successful CFL career playing either side of the ball. If he comes to the CFL and is committed to football, he’ll be a perennial all star in the CFL.

Maybe, but the 2017 draft class is going to go down as an all time bust if we don’t get Gray.

He had a down year, but I’d still take Chris Williams here.

This board should still make new threads for big moves around the league. It gets so cluttered having every major move discussed in the same thread IMO. With that being said, I like the move for the Argos to go out and get Franklin. He’s a good one.

We had tons of draft picks last year and we got awhole lot of nothing out of them.

I was thinking more of the Jim Daley era when we had the putrid Smith brothers in the secondary.

The Bombers receivers sans were horrible from 2003-2004 when Bobby G started to decline until Armstrong was signed in 2006. That easily one of the teams biggest flaws back then, along with that putrid secondary.

News this important deserves to be its own thread.

Well, he doesn’t really have the ability to throw those balls with guys like Dressler, Denmark, Coates, JFG, etc. on the field.

3 import O-linemen is one of the biggest keys to our success. We should happily trot out the exact same O-line if feasabile. A second Canadian receiver would be nice, but we’re going to have to sign one who can give us decent production consistently. Maybe Coates can be that guy, but I’m not sure.

Agreed, he got absolutely destroyed. He did hurt that area in back to back years though. Hopefully the potential for re-injury hasn’t grown.

He never really played that well. He just happened to catch two touchdowns apiece in games against Sask and Montreal in the middle third of the season. He struggled mightily for the first six and back six, while producing adequately to above average for the middle six. First six games 12/154 2TDS Middle six 32/329/4TDS Last seven including the playoff game 16/145 1TD(with 6/63 coming in one game against Hamilton... he put up 10/82 in the other six games combined) Total - 60/628/TDS Per game average - 3.16 catches/33.1 yards a game. Production akin to that of a fifth Canadian receiver. Denmark played poorly all year sans those middle six games. When we needed him to step up, following the Darvin, injury he was no where to be seen. Many on this site were defending him prior to the playoffs, but as I was saying for the last little bit of the year, he played like a man with nothing left in the tank. I can't imagine him playing another game in the CFL.

Dressler is the type of guy who embodies what this team is about. There’s no question that we need him on the team still. With that being said, I agree that he needs a haircut on his paycheque and should slide into that WR3 role.

Bring back Bond and Bryant, two of Leggett, Randle, Heath(I’d prefer all three but might be tough to afford them), Dressler and one import and one Canadian receiver and I’ll be a happy camper. Hopefully we can also recruit a decent MLB. That’s not too much to ask for right?

I’m fine to have Medlock back, but I hope they didn’t break the bank for him. He just wasn’t worth that 185K this year. Having Flanders back is awesome. I’m happy he’s sticking around, and that we found a role for him until he’s needed at RB.

Absolutely. Where are the receivers? The linebackers? Even the DB’s were questionable.

The West continuously getting the crap kicked out of it by the ''weak east'' in the Grey Cup really takes away from the argument of making the radical change of changing the playoff seeding .
