Maybe he is tired of the team he is playing for being almost good enough?

Maybe he is asking for a similar contract and we don't want to pony up after the last 2 seasons?

[pigseye]

We need to rethink how we are spending our cap space. Guys like Medlock and Dressler aren't worth the money, imo.

[mfranc]

Good luck to Medlock finding another payday like he's receiving now.

He's a talented guy but overpaid.

[CodyT]

Dressler I think will be back. Osh loves him and when playing, he’s as productive as anyone.

Again,  good but overpaid.  Save some money on Dress and Medlock and find a MLB or improve NI depth.

How is Dressler overpaid exactly?  Guy has game breaking capabilities.. Only knock I have is his durability..

 

hardly think we overpaid for him.  Medlock on the other hand, if he was money all year long.. no problemo but he wasn't.  he struggled for the first time.. in what seems like ever.

Much as I love Dressler, I hope we can find someone better than him, and every other receiver on this team.

[Bigblue204]

Only Rec I'd like to see back at TC are Adams, Dressler, Givens and washington (I know, I think he deserves another shot though). The rest we should be able to find something better.

I assume you're only referring to import receivers?

Agreed.  Walters (more specifically our scouting staff) needs to start earning his paycheck.

Dressler needs to come back, albeit on a smaller deal reflecting the injury risk that he’s becomes. Something around 125K seems fair.

Medlock can get lost. Worst kicker, and worst punter in the league this year.

agree with the bolded.. Can't agree with the latter part.  Medlock is the best kicker in the CFL even if he had a poor season.  We also don't have a backup option at this point.. you wanna go with an unknown next season?  I don't.. we've been down that path.

Is Swayze Waters an option if Medlock retires?

Swayze doesn't seem to be the player he was, cut by BC and couldn't win the job in Edm. either.

One of the only kickers with a worse percentage than Medlock this year, although on a much smaller sample size. 

[blueandgoldguy]

Sean Whyte, possibly the best kicker in the CFL, has been injured almost the entire season in Edmonton.  They managed to find a decent replacement.  There are options out there outside of Medlock especially when we could probably pay a national less than 100,000 vs. the $185,000 paid to Medlock.  Given a field goal percentage barely over 80% he has not earned his paycheck.  $125,000 - $135,000 would be more suitable.  I doubt anyone pays him more.

[Arnold_Palmer]

I'd take Dressler and Medlock back if the price is right. Obviously if they're expecting to be paid like they were this season I think it's time to move on..

You want Hugh O'Neill kicking for the Bombers?

Earned his money last year. Not this year though. For the pay hes making, hes gotta kick like last year.

Id rather give FMB a chance. Wouldnt castillo be a FA from ham as well?

Who was the kicker the Bombers drafted from U Sports?

Sure he did look good in limited reps, he went back to school so should be back for T.C.

[SpeedFlex27]

Most CFL kickers come fromU Sports so maybe he's The Next One.

Felix Menard-Briere. I'm sure he'll be at TC competing for a starting role next season. Should be interesting to see what happens with the kicking situation next season. Medlock won't be getting the $185K he did before, IMO.
