Dirty30 Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 3 hours ago, Atomic said: I bet we see two of Leggett, Randle and Heath sign the day before free agency and the remaining one walks. I agree. Will be interesting. I’m thinking Westerman leaves to play with his brother and also expect the Riders to poach one or two of our big name FA

Bass 'not a team player' last year, Heath 'freelancing' this year... Trouble is that both Leggett and Randle jump as many routes as Heath does - and what team concept are we talking about when there's no safety help This wasn't a planned leaked as it was already out there. In the fall Heath and Randle were interviewed and were asked about their relationship. Randle talked about how he plays a more structured game and Heath mentioned he was more prone to take chances and Randle would compensate for him. They talked about how they have great communication between them so they know what the other is doing.

If Randle is earning $140k or more and Heath is earning less than $100k, I can understand him wanting to cash in, he's paid his dues and has earned his pay day.

I just have a feeling Walters is going to have his work cut out re-signing the tandem of Heath and Randle. That being said, I don't think the signings of Wild, Neufeld, or Foketi affect those negotiations in any significant way. You forgot Bryant (easily a core signing) and Medlock, though. Funny how it’s easy to take the offence for granted now... it’s like bizarro bomberland Edited January 12, 2018 by Floyd SPuDS 1

SPuDS Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 Just now, Blueandgold said: If Ekakitie is going to be anything for us, he needs be able to start this year. not true. I'd like to see him rotate in if hes ready otherwise another year as a backup wouldn't be a horrible thing. You can't rush a player "just because" when he was drafted, he was considered almost pro-ready but I don't think he was aware of how much a grind this league is. If he regresses then I'd like to see him moved but if he progresses then I'm happy. No need to give the kid ultimatums in his second season.. James and Bigblue204 2

Another reason why the Nevis re-signing is strange... Johnson must be at league minimum and he's still under contract You'd think Thomas/Ekakitie would be pencilled in beside him with Corney/Westerman on the end

rebusrankin Posted January 13, 2018 Report Posted January 13, 2018 We really need to resign Randle and Westerman. SPuDS and Tracker 2
B-F-F-C Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 So what's the story with Westerman? I haven't seen anywhere that he's re upped for 2018. Has he become too expensive? Anyone have some intel? SPuDS 1

I haven't heard anything but I would guess he is looking to be paid as top 3 DE in the league but with his age and coming off an injury I can understand why we may not want to pay that. I think the two sides figure it out and make a deal at the last minute before FA.
Noeller Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 This will be his last contract.... What'll be interesting is does he want to play with Jabar, for the first time before he hangs em up? SPuDS 1
rebusrankin Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 What do we do ratio wise if we don't resign Westerman?

Noeller Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 Would be an appropriate amount of seasoning for Corney by now... Should be about ready to start or at least take on a bigger role.... Atomic and SPuDS 2
Fatty Liver Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 2 hours ago, Floyd said: That's some serious brotherly love if he signs with Montreal... Yah, I'm thinking he couldn't love his brother nearly enough to make ending his career with the Als a worthwhile experience. Montreal is a great city but everything associated with the Als is near or at the bottom of the league. Success is nowhere in sight, roster is in shambles, management is clueless and their facilities are probably the worst in the league.
M.O.A.B. Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 any news on Mulumba? are the Bombers still pursuing him? If not, maybe send his rights to other club and at least get something in return. Send it to Mtl, hes a Mack pick anyways.
