Booch

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

Same

You would be surprised come negotiation..2 sub par yrs ..he literally loafed and quit....he needs to re-establish his worth...and he knows it..I bet he can be had for a 185k salary with incentive easily..especially here...he should slot no more than Beg's and Burnham...2017/18 production is 5 yrs in rear view

Well...I see this as for sure driving Lawler money up...but we stand strong...say 185 hard..with incentive for more if he leads league again ..and possible playoff cash...no need to follow the idiots...I sure we can use 250k and maybe a bit more sign 2 of say a Walker..RJ Harris..Amnbles...Adams...Rogers...Huff...and be just fine

34 yr old Harris in WF ripped them a new arse too...

He had one big game last yr...and in playoffs one big play where Taylor slipped...normal conditions that's a short gain..and his o.t catch...was not a catch..I see a hard fight for 3rd place for them...

Hahahahaha....good luck with that one

With Edam tho still there...culture will still be same as he is a butt on the field too..so not a good example to follow...also selfish penalty taker...a me guy..not a we guy..he been like that everywhere..just got worse hanging out with the crew of douchers there...

Yeah these "reports" need to be taken with grain of salt..and unless I hear something from within...or a management/coach type says anything in media...or alludes to it I tend to disregard it....Harris when on field never takes it took a play off...ever..and players followed his example and fed off his fire. My take...and what I expecting is Harris is back on a crazy deal...Oliviera is also back on a par for the course second contract for a spot starter and stove is back too...he gets a bump but people thinking he gets this crazy bump are...well crazy...his next deal if he does what he does will be crazy To do this I see odd man out being Darby and Taylor...and quite possibly Adams if he not happy with a bargain deal...fly in ointment is Lawler...not sure what's up there...but if he walks...expect Adams and aDarby back...Also Mike Jones is a given..

Marino isn't that good...if anything he is dirty and will cost u in penalties...and u can't discount experience and leadership...Johnson had that in spades there..I don't see a real locker room leader...or core of legit leaders there

Fixing lines now is basically not gonna happen with what's left....not to become even remotely dominant

he was released to heal, and free up roster spot...be it PR or IR....he still on the radar far as I know

agreed....he's the starter now...was anointed it in media....well pay me first yr starter money then.....whats B.C gonna do?...Sign Harris in lurch for 440K?? yup..he should say gimme half that Lawler money and use rest to shore up the o-line...whats even left in FA market for O-line upgrades anyway?...If that was SASK plan it gonna blow up in their faces too

If I was Rourke...I would be holding out...he has BC by the balls....

yeah looks like right now we lost 3 we didnt want to, and had no chance for now any way (NFL guys) but we may lose a few that we are moving on from....which good teams do, and maybe one due to him getting outpriced from our structure....possibly Lawler. Stove is coming off rookie deal, so pretty sure Walters has a number and a plan to retain him unless some team gets really stupid with an offer...and that comes at expense of a vet who is longer in the tooth, and may be asked to take considerable cut (Harris/Adams/Taylor) and not like it...so look elsewhere...giving us the extra money I dont see Josh Johnson or Antighua back...not huge salaries but well above league minimum and replaced with a rookie and that extra money saved allocated elsewhere...

kind of agree....and if it comes at the expense of a Harris and or Adams...thats the price u pay to stay on top

B.C's spending and cap allocation is bizarre.they havnt really addressed any of their concerns, yet, and if anything are weaker with the loss of Mike R and possibly giving almot 700k to receivers.. QB pool is getting thin now and if Rourke struggles or gets hurt behind that still weak O-line...then what?....and if they are targeting Richardson (and I sure he can be tied to all teams as I sure all have contacted his agent) thats gonna cost them and still isn't gonna save that defense alone. I think Stove may take the money if we cant come "close".....That being said Walker and Rose showed ok in limited play..Sayles will only get better and he is just fine vs the run as yr went on, and the dude can get the pressure on a QB, and there are 1 yr stop gaps we could land..vets with skills still that we wouldnt niss a beat, and likely will command less than last yr...I looking at you Nevis and Johnson....Heck maybe we go after Laurent, he might wanna win a Cup lol....BA is shelved for half a yr likely so his $$ wont be on the books...Rotate him and Fatboi as the Canadian starter and still go import at safety...lots of options for us to not skip a beat, offence too with Lawler

good for Ottawa tho...Maybe Lapo's conservative offence will allow Masoli to get in good rhythms...They guy isn't horrible by any stretch, and sometimes that change of scenery does wonders

Therein lies the difference between Winnipeg and Sask....our success...their flops...Our culture and guys wanting to stay here for less...and theirs where guys have no loyalty to each other or team....and bet he's not the only guy on that team with that thought process....they a long ways away in becoming what we have here, as they still employ many dbags

lockeroom will be fine...that culture shift started before him, and has solid guys to carry it forward...he just augmented it

I think we could fit them all in with Harris accepting somewhere in the 125...135k range....and a reduced role...to keep him fresh....now will he agree to that? Be sad to see us let another Bomber great go so close to the 10k rushing milestone in Bomber colors (Charles Roberts) Sure a good amount was with Leo's, but 10k for career none the less is big...especially with a local player, and likely prob never matched by a Canadian.....That in itself should be done in Wpg colors, and hopefully both sides can make that happen Worst case and crappiest scenario is you can release him after TC if he came in uninspired and having lost a step...give him his bonus contingent on making the roster....put that fire in him

And no formal talks is totally different than no talks...looks like making more to things than there is...if he back..garuanteed u will see a motivated Harris out ton prove all wrong..and I hope it ain't against us

Well if he plays...it's a bonus...if he doesn't...it's a sms bonus ..we did just fine without him last year during the season...but in big games...he does bring that extra something something..and team feeds off it...even at soon to be 35 My take is that if OSH wants him...OSH will have him...it will work out...cripes put him on aimited workload until crunch time if worried he gonna get dinged...last ty was just an anomaly tho...I don't see it as breaking down
