Some receivers won't make it to the summer and the Bobmers can be there to poach someone. First choice being McDuffie but I don't see him being cut by Dallas based on his return abilities. Wait for the Riders to cut a receiver or better yet send Neufeld home for a receiver (not Owens) and one of their first round picks. JCon 1
Noeller Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 I wonder if a quality IMP REC might shake loose in Sask, what with the glut they have over there...

Yeah, I think McDuffie will be there until he drops a return, which won't happen until at least August. (Because that's what seems to happen, not because I expect him to fail)

I was hoping he would come back and earn every bit of his salary (he showed well down the stretch)...but we have an assortment of riches at the receiver position, even without him. Not to mention that we're starting to find our own import players more often as our scouting database continues to improve. I wonder if the Bombers knew about this when they went hard at Denny?

I think the way Jones signs high profile players only to cut them later that the odds of that are high. My guess would be Collins being the odd man out. Noeller and JCon 2

GCn20 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 On September 1st, 2016 Penton reported in the Sun that Smith's salary had a base of 62k. I can't imagine any scenario where we would have given him a further 120k in bonuses. I think the 118k sounds about right.

In fairness, I said "closer to 200k" (than $120k).....now, I may have Smith/Dressler contracts mixed up, but I could swear it was north of 150k, for sure...

Especially with his injury history. I'm not sure who reported the 185k but I saw 3 different numbers and none of them come close to 200k.

Fatty Liver Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 Ryan Smith ✔ @ryguy_4 Thank you to everyone! Retirement statement: ALuCsRED and wbbfan 2
rebusrankin Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 Good luck to him. Hard to blame a guy in this situation. Hopefully it frees some $ up for elsewhere. Glad we still have Adams/Dressler/Denny/Stafford and hey, maybe this is the year we scout a quality import reciever.

Marshall Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 Tough year for Smith. Finally gets going in the last game of the year. Too bad for us, but we have some other good options. Best of luck to him.

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. How do you know this job offer didn't just come in this week?? JCon and BigBlueFanatic 2
