They need a back up receiver on the roster. Too bad we're out of Cdn back up receivers now. I don't it was anything Adams did, they just wanted Haba on and they weren't going to take out Willie, Garbutt, or Woods, so Adams is the odd man out. I don't like it, but it is what it is.

FWIW John Hodge says no limit to marketing money

Adams!? Come on man. I'd love to see Haba back in the rotation but don't mess with success.

"Rourke’s compensation in those seasons includes $200,000 in marketing money, which does not count against the league’s salary cap. As such, his cap number for 2025 checks in at $549,200 and $609,000 for 2026." Can someone remind me on how this marketing money works again? Is there a limit to it?

I wouldn't be surprised if Rourke dresses as the #2 and then comes in part way through the 1st Q when the other guy sucks.

Interested to see what numbers Rourke is getting. Any signing bonus plus is weekly salary for the last nine games can't be insignificant. VA was already paid a lot of his salary. I'm sure they just don't care about the cap and are going all in to win at home this year.

This is what you say before you trade a guy.

How can the plan not be to hand the reigns to Rourke? They just signed him for 3 years. Haven't heard $ yet but he must be the highest paid QB in the league.

West is wide open. Going to be a fun second half of the season (or a crushing one full of missed opportunities).

I don't know if Eli is a better centre than Kolo but I'm tired of seeing Kolo pushed into Zach and BO's laps.

Why did Ajou go so late in draft again?

Depends how serious Woli’s injury is. He’s on the 6 game but not sure how set in stone that is

Isn’t lawler expected back next game? I’m still in favour of Bailey brought back and starting 4 Americans at receiver while Woli is out and then designating an American vet and the naturalized Canadian for the 8 ratio spot

I decided to go see some live music tonight and not watch the game. What the hell happened?!?

Agree with you there. Lots of garbage to go around on this roster/coaching.

ZC is definitely not elite anymore. No one in their right mind would argue that. I just don’t think he’s as done as people on here are saying. By the way you didn’t mention a single QB that excelled with a garbage online and receivers. Maybe some of the all time greats could do that at their peak. There’s no QB in the league now that can.

You’ve seen lots of QBs play well with garbage oline and receivers?

Definitely agree he’s on the downswing, just don’t think he’s totally at the bottom. Age is undefeated. This season has been the worst case scenario to make up for that downswing. Top receivers hurt and oline is garbage.

This. The pressure up the middle has been awful.

He and Neuf were just added to the 6 game IR.

They are still starting 8 Cdns. Demski, Clercius, Brady, Dobson, Kolo (or Eli), Ford, Kramdi, Thomas

If Woli is out for a while and we can sign Bailey, I’d go with Lawler, Wilson, Demski, Whitehead, Bailey as the starters with Clercius as the back up and to rotate in on certain sets to use his size. Don’t need to start 2 Cdn receivers with the other Cdn starters.

Two Cdns get hurt and we replace them with Americans because we were starting a million Cdns previously. Has Osh changed? Just need Eli to start over Kolo and we may have a serviceable o-line.

Ya Clercius might move over to Woli’s spot, but he was already starting to Lucky takes Clercius spot. Still stuck with Johnson until Lawler returns.

Maybe Jake Kelly on after injury with the two DBs going off. Glad lucky is finally getting on. Too bad is likely for Woli instead of Johnson
