Booch Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 Or Jones is just a borderline idiot mbrg, wbbfan and Noeller 3
Brandon Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 Owens at a low price is an ok signing.. if I were the Riders I would of signed Denmark before him.... Floyd, voodoochylde and wbbfan 3

Not sure how to project that into 2017 but this seems more like the pointless headline-grabbing signings we get from the Allouettes. Ocho cinco style. Jones got his CFL start in Montreal so I guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree!

HardCoreBlue Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 So to get this straight. Roughies plan is to dismantle the core that was was previously built and rebuild it through FA and players that were released? Rod Black and JCon 2
mbrg Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 Owens was going to play somewhere this year; he put up about 800 yards last season. Riders does not seem like a good fit at all though. But since Jones has enough ego for 12 men that means maybe he just kicks loose one of his other receivers rather than admit the error of his ways. Collins back in blue and gold perhaps?
Mark F Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 Nobody (so far) wants Denmark? I Don't get it. Tracker 1
Taynted_Fayth Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 the "rationale" among rider fans is he was brought in to be a glorified babysitter would love to see owens retire once he cashes that signing bonus cheque mbrg 1

Maybe he's not taking calls right now. The longer he's available the greater the chance he can come to terms with the Bombers, but you'd think he did enough last year to be in the second tier of FA receivers. Mark F 1

johnzo Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 yeah, I figured that some team out East would've come for Denmark on day one. Love this in that it might put him back in blue, hate it in that the guy deserves some respect and dollars from the league. Given how people were talking about how free agent money was tight this year, maybe it's the B+ guys like him that are gonna take the hit in wallet. Mark F and wbbfan 2
Brandon Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 From what I read on riderfans... Owens is brought in to be the returner. Surely they could find someone cheaper via the database? 2 year deal also to boot? wbbfan 1
sweep the leg Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 The Argos are going to end up giving him $200k b/c nobody else will go there.

Because you can't have old staff hanging around holding you back from all the great things you'll accomplish with new staff you brought on. New is good. Old is bad. Hell, they'll sell the the toilet seat semi dome out for a couple years so revenue won't be an issue while they continue to suck.
Floyd Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 I'll take Collins, Edwards or Holley once they shake out of Sask... Baffling signing... going all import REC would mean sitting Demski/Bagg... kind of crazy

Bomber_fanaddict Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 Whatever happened to the Riders losing cap space for getting busted housing 2.6million refugees and keeping them all on their "roster"? Did I miss something? Noeller and WildPath 2

Noeller Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 5 minutes ago, bearpants said: Was that not on the 2016 cap? It should be, but they haven't released any details about that sort of thing. I honestly believe the league is burying its head in the sand and praying everyone will just sort of forget that it ever happened.
