Tate to Ottawa is an interesting move... smart play Desjardins to secure some insurance for Harris... a lot of us are eating crow on Desjardins as a GM... I remember how we spoke about him when he was hired... Anyways... I'm curious to know how the Rider fans are spinning this... knowing a decent QB was on the market and they missed out...

first point... I agree, that's technically true.... but you would have to think they would be able to bring in someone with some potential, rather than waste a TC spot on a washed-up NFL vet... second point... I'm not sure how the riders are in a good spot to make a trade... they have a stock-pile of decent to good receivers... but as history has taught us, teams will just wait til someone is released before making a trade...

hmmmm... yes I would agree that Westerman is, in fact, equivalent to Westerman... If I recall correctly previous first rounders were getting in the 80-90k range.... it was talked about a lot last year when Chris Jones tried to single-handedly save the CFL by low-balling St John... I can't get over what a goddamn hero that man is...

“Ricky Williams told me that if he knew about the Canadian Football League early on in his career, he would have played his whole career there.” I thought this quote was interesting... because I actually believe it... Ricky Williams was (and probably still is) a weird dude... he had zero interest in money and possessions... he just wanted to smoke some weed and play some football... he even talked about coming back to the CFL at the tail end of his career b/c he loved it so much...

I always jump in these threads after Rich has cleaned it all up... I miss all the fun!

Looks like we know who's going to play Kyle when they make a movie about the epic slump busting Grey Cup Championship of 2017...

I have no idea... I just remembered him having a beard at some point so I googled his name and found this pic!

oh really... I actually just realized Kyle Walters looks like an every-man version of Tom Hardy... has that ever been mentioned before?

That's exactly what I was think... I think they are ready for Durant for step up and be a regular contributor this year... meanwhile, Addison Richards selected 9 spots ahead of him will be.... anyways I always liked Kohlert and thought he was a reliable guy... the only reason he leaves a bad taste in the mouth is b/c of those two huge volleyball style drops that led directly to ints...

Is this a joke?... this has to be a joke.... I don't know anything about this guy or how much jest is in his posting... but if this is anything other than a joke, this wins the most clueless post in the history of CFL fan forums... there will never be a close second...

Haha this is pretty funny stuff... I don't know how many times I've "won the day" but apparently the last time I did was Nov 28, which according to my calendar, was the day after Grey Cup... so it's official, the final 2016 Grey Cup Standings are: 1) Ottawa 2) Bearpants 3) Calgary

I was looking at the CFL FA tracker and they don't have Klassen signed yet... and yes, looks like Getzlaf is a FA... must've glossed over him...

Laing has always been a DT

Here's my list of notable Free Agents still available: A-M Cash: DT Int J'Michael Dean: OL Nat Micheal Klassen: DL Nat Corey Greenwood: LB Nat Greg Van Rotten: OL Int Andy Fantuz: WR Nat Euclid Cummings: DL Int Dan Federkiel: OL Nat (though he's likely Cgy or retire so I guess he shouldn't really be on the list) Devon Bailey: WR Nat Terrell Sinkfield: WR Int curious to see where some of these guys end up...

If their signings work out, Montreal is poised to be threat in the east this year...

Was that not on the 2016 cap?

The more I think about it... I would really like if we signed Matt Black... he'd be a reliable, veteran back up to Loffler and a quality special teamer... he's got a few miles on him at 31 years old, but he should still have another year or two...

I think what you're saying is this would be an very hurtful day to break up with a coach...

They solved all their issues when they hired "The Plan".... boom! problem solved!!

That's a huge factor... if you thrown him into today's free agent signings... I believe we immediately become on of the FA winners again...

yeah you're probably right... his pay will likely match his role now...

Well... Walters did say he wanted to shore up the Canadian depth...

Yeah I thought about that after... LT might be the 2nd most important position after QB... Bryant is probably the highest paid O-lineman on our team...

I assume that means highest paid international O-lineman??

a friend is telling me Tony Burnett is signing in BC... anyone else hear that?
