Booch

Yup...his absence this yr wouldn't be the difference of us being legit contender...or bottom dweller...and he can always resign back next yr and be a JABO duo

I think taylor is in plans anyway...still very effective at his age and won't be a drop off from short off season...prob still one of fastest on the team and us in phenomenal shape...I assume they waiting out a few of the bigger contracts...to see what's left to work with and have been in talks about that...I doubt he wants to leave...and I know team is happy with him

Yea...so is Harris I think he insurance if we lose 2 or more DBs...will get a modest bump...and won't hurt us...I'dije to see him back regardless

More i dissect things I think with BA prob out first 3rd of season he will be a easy resign as his money will be off the books. I think we bring in either Darby or Moncreif for SAM...and Maston plays safety until BA back...he can do the same big hitting role...and he is a high 4.4's mid 4.5's speed guy..and is a true corner like BA was...and he prob woulda played last yr if it was a full 18 game sched...was practicing and I Seen him training and he looked just fine. Mike Jones will peg in...expect him back..he may have had off season surgery too..so may lessen his cap hit a wee bit...

But they resigned Pete Roberts...all giddy they are as apparently Rider Stronson claims he was in big demand this free agency..yeah ok...all riders are in big demand until they bolt

Also wondering if we are in the Moncreif play...him or Darby kinda thing with maybe back in T.O? I could see Moncreif here..he looks at that defense with the Jeff's...Biggie and Wilson..BA...the DBs...and could put up some serious stats and have legit chance at cup...like to rag on Riders..but they have a legit chance of not making playoffs then making it right now as things stand

Actually yeah...better QB...online...RB at moment as Sask has nobody...and that Morrow is unproven and NJ it sure a true tailback If anything Ott is giving Lapo a fighting chance personnel wise.

Brady I can't see getting more than 125k from anyone yet...he's not gonna get Demski money..hasn't proven it yet..what's he at..130..140k?

Yup lol....there goes any online hope for them....onward with the collection of bottom teir talent

Yeah....one of the 2 will be here...maybe all 3...a lot depends on Lawler and what it will take to lock him down... hopefully he still exhausts his NFL options and that dumb 250k goes away once teams spend like drunken sailors next week

Well I am fine with JA...and then likey Harris as we would only employ 2 vet Canadians...maybe 2023 we flip ratio and go import there...it not set in stone..

Brady tho still unproven...and won't command huge bucks yet...so any team out bidding will be over paying for still unknown commodity. Amusing on Riderfans they think the 260k for Duke is a good deal hahah...just eating up that "close to 300k" rumour....not sure who woulda offered that...and that obviously wasn't hard money...the fact the Rider deal specified "hard" money tells me he in position to make more than 260k which makes that even more laughable

Man that was embarrassing....plastic garbage...

Yeah...but 300k on a reciever is just dumb....and that rumour was prob just Duke spitting out a number...he took the highest dumb offer...and used the "best chance to win a Cup" thing as his reasoning...who would believe a guy who has a rep as and arse..and denied 2 instances of douchery last yr? Like really? They will have a hard time securing 3rd this yr...they lost some key pieces..tho they couldn't get it done...And I don't see them finding 3 olineman to replace their garbage...plus a good d tackle...linebacker ..starting calibre running back...2 solid db's and quality Canadian depth that will be better than last yr...ain't happening...and if they do land Moncreif...it won't be in the cheap...he will go to highest bidder...he has shown that already. Cgy...wpg...have already basically solidified their opening day core...with returning top notch guys...BC is gonna be no pushover if they spend smart on defense in free agency and u can't ignore Slimy Jones in Edmonton...they had peices there last yr...they just did a mutiny and quit...west gonna be interesting

Simon ain't talking BS...it's a general consensus...need the fat contract to wanna be there

U suck?? Lol

I call bs on the 300k thing...that's a bit of a stretch and exaggerated number...who would offer that...like really? And yeah...260k for a slow...bad character wideout who didn't impress at all last yr is an overlay..if u think it isn't you are nuts

Well with Nelson gone...Mcnight already signed I'd bet Grant is retained and a rookie will fill Nelson's roster spot

That's par for course it seems for top recievers (Weineke deal)...unless u are idiotic like B.C and now even more idiotic like Sask...wayyyy over pay at the expense of rest your roster....our roster is deep and balanced due to not overpaying foolishly...same with Cgy...and it will show. Weineke makes catches...scores TD's...160k....great value and u still able to surround him with talent. The more I think about it I'd be fine with splitting 250k and a lil extra for Darvin and Harris..and role with them and whatever camp produces...u prob then have money for one of Darby and Stove...we don't need to spend over 175k on top reciever...2 teams are doing that..and I bet they both be battling for 3rd and 4th...we won't be

Not sure other than Johnson who the higher priced players are? Gainey and Purify weren't that top dollarish more than any other teams vet DBs...they overplayed for PED Leonard...Duke is grossly over payed...Shaq Evans is prob up there as it was a higher contract for WR's before and doubt he took a pay cut...I sure Edam and Marshal got bumps...and they gonna have to pay large in free agency if they wanna fix online and slime .as well as linebacker....they aren't sitting on buckets of cash by any means

Lawler is taller..Baikey is bigger....2 different types of guys...I wouldn't want Bailey to assume the Lawler role..Bailey gonna Excell in the younger version of Nick Lewis...big plays...tough yard plays...solid and reliable...that's what I want and see from him Blake Jackson too may be the dark horse...dude has all the tools..runs a 4.4 and the best thing was a college QB and that's invaluable with the 2 qb rostering thing...from what I heard he was a lock to make the roster if not hurt Agadusi as the Z intruiges me and who wouldn't want that big dude downfield looking for lobs and 50/50 balls? Get Woli in the slot or just closer to the ball...we still have good cheaper options in FA when added to Demski..Woli and Bailey that would serve us well...and I wouldn't write off Adams either ..longer in tooth now but he still brings it and needs attention from defenses...but also brings that grit that made or receiver core what it was. Heck...convert Harris into Nik Lewis lite...I bet that option to get a pass..shovel pass...drop into backfield with JA or BO would give defenses fits

Id go after Ambles or RJ Harris first if we need to

If Lawler wants us to match...i say screw it..grab and Ambles or RJ Harris..give Harris a decent deal....and grind the snot outta teams with the 3 headed monster...and sign Strev as backup...

We lose Lawler..sign Walker to take top off..got Bailey in the intermediate and underneath...we actually utilize Woli and we all know what Demski can do..maybe get Adams at discount to.mentor a new young guy and be that grit....and we possibly can keep Harris and have him go out as final yr in class..unless he shows he got lots left

Ha...they have to be...can't pay million bucks for 4 import receivers..especially with Cottoy prob making 100k too And Rhymes is still on their roster...and not at league minimum
