Booch

100 percent...there's prob some issues there...but not this rift they making it seem like We should be grateful we basically retained 4 /5ths of the best online as well as 3/4's of the best dline and still retained the league MOP ...MODP...MOL and prob the best corner and halfback in Rose and Nichols...may as well toss in the 2 best young Canadian RB's in the league and most versatile Canadian reciever...we be just fine

That would totally work ..Lawler was good...but wasn't reason for our success...it started with ZC spreading it around and the online allowing it to happen....Our offence will just need to play like last yr...protect the ball...and we will be fine I think we land a reciever....and a surprise defender nobody has yet mentioned here much....along with a few more of our foot soldiers like Hansen and the like

This is exactly it...players know this in inevitable...they aren't going to use it to be a negative distraction ...they already have shown that by signing on....many for less...and many who didn't even wanna take a look see....not that locker room. If anything I could see them saying cmon dude...let's all sacrifice a lil..to go down as a dynasty...as some have done it for 2022 We also don't even know the facts...did the team not offer a number? Did Harris say no to a reduced amount? Are they far apart...close....is it Harris doesn't wanna be a role player? Who knows right now....maybe it's media making mountain outta mole hill....end result is we will be filelding guys who wanna be here..fit the sms structure and the culture...and have to be odds on favorite to at least get to cup with or without Harris....

Yup...he is way more than just a ball carrier...and his recognition of things on field is invaluable...and I fear puts ZC at more risk game in and game out I'd still like to see him morphed into a hybrid slot/te Drury type...allowing the young guys to get experience with AH still on field with them in certain sets

100 percent yeah...I'd rather have that anyway...lot of times u shut a teams #1 down...they get bogged in the mud

I'd still like to see us get..or roster a true take the top off a defense guy as a receiver.....but we didn't really have that the last 2 yrs anyway and we made it work.

That's kinda why I think it works out somehow Imagine Harris going from playing in front of this crowd...to home crowd in T.O...what a kick to the onions that would be

Comical I very much like our 135k for Bailey..I bet he out performs them both...plus is used in sweeps... If we can grab Ellingson for 160 which seems reasonable we get 2x the production for the cost of Lawler alone.

Ricky Walker looked good last yr

I do know he very athletic and was highly rated...maybe a new poop Johnson...similar body type

I sure the Jeff's..biggie...big Stan...Rose and BA and guys like Demski and Woli will keep the room just fine ...I still think Harris will work out a 1 yr deal ..

Jojo Wicker...6'2"...296 pounds...sounds like a nice gap filler to me

Players know the business side of the game tho too....this won't tear the culture apart ...the other guys didn't sign cause they thought AH was coming back..this is the crappy side of things. They know if the economics don't work...they don't work...I'm not concerned about that...it's also on Harris to realize that he can't expect 200k ...185k...any more...I hope we make it work as he is still effective...but not if it means we can't grab a reciever and resign a Darby or pick up a Moncreif

Actually looked at Ellingson..I am sold now that I see he had almost 700 yards in 10 games in that shiitshow of Edm....with ZC throwing and the complimentary pieces around him yeah this may be a big rebond yr for him...sign me up Yeah...I think too now we go with recruits..save the sms for elsewhere...Walker looked like a baller...Rose in his limited play looked like potential too...and didn't we sign a DT/Nose type this winter??

Yeah...our losses suck...but we won without stove...and when Lawler was suspended kept on rolling too...we will survive just fine. I'm in the camp of u don't overpay like an idiot to fill a spot...and downgrade 2 or 3 others in the process..can't sustain anything that way....pay fair value...and if someone don't like it...another guy will...been working just fine for us

Moncreif gonna command 300k then as he 2x the player of Lacey...good lord...so glad we got our guys when we did..

I still baffled on that Lacey deal....based on his stats ..and non impact type play last yr...and being 32 constitutes that money?? And 465k invested in Walker and Lawler is alot of scratch....if he doesn't come close to bettering what he did last yr that's gonna be rough

And u will see why those 2 teams won't be successful...or sustain success when u basically nueter your overall lineup....guess in a way too...we see who were more about team and overall success and brother hood...cause u know damn well guys like the Jeff's...our tackles....biggie...rose...Bailey amoung others..all could have made a killing....not a knock on the other guys as I sure they wanna get paid...but like many have said it ain't all about the money...sometimes it's fit and comfort..culture...and to others...it ain't Wish them well and hope when we play em we lay a licken on them to remind them where they came from Yup ..I sure it only reason....wonder if he will regret it when battling for 4th...in front of a dead morgue crowd

Well....let's get Nevis on value....grab Ellingson and Ambles and roll into cup number 3... Yeah that's crazy..glad for Kenny but what an overpay....he still really isn't proven in my opinion

250k for Lacey?? Good greif

I sure a decision isnt based on cold..and going to BC you gotta figure if u playing in playoffs next yr that you will be playing 2 cold weather playoff games if u wanna hit grey cup..then a cold weather grey cup game as they likely not hosting one...

Based on what we saw last year...u could start that lineup and easily have a winning record

I think with BA its a matter of waitng to see what other pieces come in at....we can basically hide a good 3rd of his deal on the IR...so doubt money will be an issue with him...kind of a blessing which could allow us to bring back Darby along with already landing Rose, and maybe Stove

interesting...wonder who the West team was....and good to see the will to stay no matter what
