Jpan85 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 Paul Friesen reporting he is taking a job outside of football. wbbfan 1
Judd Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 When he was injured last year his injuries were not concussions, were they? Was hoping he'd be our dressler for the next 5 years.. oh wait, we have dressler!
Noeller Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 jaaaayyyyyzzzzuzzzzzzz...........seriously? JCon and wbbfan 2
Noeller Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 that definitely makes keeping Denmark a lot more important........ Logan007, wbbfan and JCon 3
Jpan85 Posted March 31, 2017 Author Report Posted March 31, 2017 Having Stafford and Denmark makes this hurt less. rebusrankin and Bigblue204 2

wbbfan Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 wooooooooooow. I wish him the best moving forward.

bearpants Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 Certainly unfortunate... but as @Jpan85 pointed out, we still have Denny and Stafford to go along with Dressler and Adams... I wish Mr Smith all the best
wpgallday1960 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 Surprising! Good thing we signed a few WRs this offseason. I wish Ryan all the best I his new career.
Judd Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 Gurley should be on the horn any time now wbbfan and M.O.A.B. 2
Atomic Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 Well this is surprising but the fact is we still have 4+ veteran import receivers so it shouldn't hurt too bad. Just means there is an opportunity for a good rookie to get more reps. JCon and wbbfan 2
bearpants Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 The only thing that would've made this move perfect is if he had asked for a release, signed with the Riders, received a lofty signing bonus... then retired... Al Bundy, kelownabomberfan, Mark F and 4 others 7

Booch Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 Interesting, I would think now with his available salary that was fairly significant and already budgeted into the SMS for this year could be allocated for a fairly significant free agent signing or more inclination now to draft the BPA with our first 2 picks and roster them this year. Personally I would be on the horn with Laing giving him Smith's money and a bit more and going all Import receiver Floyd and bigg jay 2
Captain Blue Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 Hurts less with Denmark back. Wish Smith nothing but the best in his new career.

Some receivers won't make it to the summer and the Bobmers can be there to poach someone.

Wish Smith the best but the timing kinda sucks. If it is job related, not health related (which I doubt with his concussion problems last season) & he knew he had to make a choice I just wish he let the Bombers know a month & a half ago as there were some pretty good receivers available then we could have pursued. Having said that, he still has to look after himself first so he made the best decision for him & his family. Edited March 31, 2017 by SpeedFlex27
