Booch

Exactly...last year we brought back the same amount pretty much...and all teams are in same boat.....and only so much SMS to go around...the reality is in the new CFL right now is that some vets will have to accept the same pay as previous year, some will have to settle for less, as thats just the business now....or not play.....and there will be a few with nice bumps...we should be fine, as we have pretty much a veteran roster where we will have minimal bump ups...if any, plus the added bonus that the players know if the core guys are back, they have a good shot at 20 to 30k at season end....whereas some teams who we most likely assume will try and pay some larger cash to some prize free-agents have no hope in hell really...or its a big crap-shoot So with the short career life of a player, the more likely chance of that playoff money is a big draw...why do u think teams like the stamps retained so many guys for years...and for less than they probably woulda got elsewhere?? and on the flip...if we do happen to lose a key guy...which I doubt..or another team or 2 lose a key guy....they will obviously been wayyy overpayed....throwing that teams SMS outta whack, and ripple effect being less money to go around to get a very good replacement, at possibly a lower price, strengthening your overall SMS

It was Sewell

I not worried about that in the least

yup...Sask better be worried mind u losing their "prize" free agents probably a blessing to them and they dont realize it I can see dbags Edam...Marshall..Duke..Purifoy....all skidaddling there...Gainey too...so one team gets shittier by choice...and another shittier in the short term by no fault of their own...me like

yeah he dead to us now lol....he had signed with them before season ended as well....no ring....so sad lol

shows how desperate EDM must be....and also they need to have a dual role guy....feeling the pinch $ wise with the coaching cap...

glad he back...and I sure he glad to keep building on the last 2 seasons...continuity is key...look at the last 3-4 years and total lack of circus and wtf moments with the organization....such a nice change from the dark ages...which are still too damn close i the rear view for my liking...and nothing beats being a model flagship organization in the league where u bet all other 8 teams are trying to replicate

soon as he breaks....3 guys converge...most importantly Bailey's....

correct...that was the 2019 toss him outta the way play haha Woli was huge in the 4th...and had the ultimate fake out in O.T on the 2 point convert if u all re-watched and saw those 3 dummies fall for it after his and ZC "chat" pre snap hahaha

Told u all along he has no intention to leave..he will be here basically until or if when we fire him..for being useless..or he retires...I predict the latter

Yeah he should easily be landing somewhere...not like the guy sucks..and agreed...he's probably better than several starters in the league...he can at least get past his first read..and has seen it all scheme wise...

he'd be an adequate back up here....lol

and this is the estimated amounts for the upcoming season...

he has already said he is back in 2022 as well....so basically..he's back lol

I see Eli back as well...

watch in O.T ...I think was O.T where Willie sends the tackle on his ass....funny was that where hi pinned him after the play like a wrestler?...I Laughed at that as well, if thats the same play

none of them are retiring this year....they will all be back with slight bumps..I can see Bryant just getting what he did last year...same with Neuf...That 3peat is gonna be a huge come back draw If we close that out next yr tho..I could see Neuf and Bryant shutting it down

yup....musta been a planned trick....but it sucked 3 guys over and freed up Bailey

I doubt we lose any of the starting O-lineman to be honest....you have to remember too...players wanna have to leave and will take a lot to leave a good spot...Our olineman other than Desjarlais are all making around the top of their pay scale...so really to steal one you will have to wayyyyyyy over pay....and is that worth it?...we can offer fair value and have the playoff loot hanging there, plus being the place to be...I'm not worried in the least keeping any key piece, and could see us actually adding a key piece for under market value

Yeah..Arbuckle isn't a bad lockeroom guy and outta him...MBT..Nichols and Cornelius he's the better of the 3...Lapo went with what he knew and who could run with his pop gun offence in Ottawa in yr one Dinnwidie...big error there...MBT is not a long term answer... Elizondo was a joke..mismanaged Harris to be honest and wanted to use his guy he brought there...big mistake too...now is Arbuckle a free agent? I'd actually like to see us bring him in to backup ZC...sign him to a decent deal with a per start clause in there on top of if ZC goes down..

Bighill almost jumped as well in the play Nichols made to thwart the TD...game of inches indeed Kongbo too made a key play in the run stuff Biggie and Rose made late in 4th quarter forcing a field goal..played it perfect..forced Masolli to bubble back and flip to Jackson where biggie and rose were able to clean up..

Glad we didn't have to find out..that being said..would have gave McGuire ample time to get his feet under him..

Yeah ..if someone come a sniffing we will add Asst defensive coordinator to his role...I dont see us letting younger go

Watching the o.t 2 point convert...A key thing overlooked was a psych job by Woli and Zack...watch for them having a one on one "discussion" prior to snap...and then when play runs..watch Woli release and suck 3 guys to him..main one Bailey's cover guy leaving him wide open for the 2 point grab...u can even see Adeleke wondering wtf and why was that guy wide open....sneaky buggers lol

I'd like tho for us to actually go back to the original all white aways without the blue shoulders...those would be so sweet
