We'll probably dress 3-4 NI receivers over 18 games assuming some injuries. We need someone, or we will most likely, and very likely we'll need someone other than Feoli-Gudino to start some games unless he makes it through 18. Spencer Watt just came free. he was released by the Ti Cats today.

holoman Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 Hodge didn't even say it was going to happen. He said Watt has history with O'shea and there's cap to spend with the Waggoner retirement.
BBlink Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 Watt would be a decent pickup. Don't think his salary demands would be outrageous. The Zipp, Bigblue204, Stickem and 1 other 4
rebusrankin Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 To those saying we are fine with Coates and Richards, you do realize that Coates career high for a season is 44 receiving yards and Richards has one catch for 12. I'd say I can who can put up 350-400 yards like Watt is an upgrade. Jimmy Pop, WildPath, TBURGESS and 1 other 4

This CFL.ca guy seems to like him (this article is also 3 months old)... https://www.cfl.ca/2017/02/22/lauriers-boateng-gives-new-meaning-hard-work/ I have no idea if he is any good or not... but I would probably agree with you that he's a good value for the 5th round... If he sucks, no big deal, just release him... if he ends up being a good rotational player or even starter, that's a steal... even if he ends up being a decent special teamer for some years that's a pretty good pick...

He kinda reminds me of another DE who dropped in the draft.... Elie Ngoyi... was ranked in the top 20 and ended up going to the Esks in the sixth round in 2013. He's ended up being a pretty decent special teamer for 4 years, going on 5 now. Boateng could have a similar trajectory and there's nothing wrong with that for a fifth rounder.

Yah...great fan who likes to crunch numbers and can write some great articles...no real inside info apart from his connection with the 3rd down nation folks...his podcast is pretty good and he gets some interesting guests. Pretty neat to see how he has been able to get some exposure all starting with his "Firejoemack" twitter handle years ago. Went to school in Brandon and is a teacher - comes from a super nice family...There you go...
Mike Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 I would be A-OK with us signing Spencer Watt. Stickem, The Zipp and SPuDS 3

wbbfan Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 Watt would be nice. I also like vaughan. Wouldnt mind having him case one of our 2nd year guys take a step back. 4 minutes ago, gcn11 said: He pretty much instantly would be in a dead heat with JFG for the starting job, Imop watt would be the better WR while JFG the better teams, blocker etc.
Atomic Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 I'm still hoping Addison Richards can make good on his potential this year. But if not, Spencer Watt would be a fine option. JCon and SPuDS 2
Floyd Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 Now we're excited to sign Spencer Watt...? An undersized journeyman receiver coming off his worst career season after an achilles injury... I'm failing to see the benefit to the bombers here. This is a 'hey we recognize this guys name' thread... Mr Dee, Marshall, Tracker and 3 others 6

I'm pulling for the kid tho, has the tool kit and physical specs.. lets hope it comes together.

Worst season after backing up one of the best NI's rec in the league. It's not like he was starting every game as a slot or something. Context is important. SPuDS 1
