rebusrankin Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 I don't think Hazelton is getting paid a huge salary. Bowman may be a cap casulty. SPuDS 1
Booch Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) With Walker..Bowman..Reilly..Gable.. (guys who are already signed) you have a lot of cash locked up. Reilly signed a 3 year deal in 2016 paying him 400k...years 2 and 3 bump him over 500k per year So 500 for Reilly..250ish for Bowman..200 for Walker and prob 80-90 if not more for Gable you have over 1 million tied up in 4 guys alone...not leaving a lot of flexibilty...I sure Grymes signed for decent money too. Thats some pretty scary SMS issues there if you ask me. Edited January 12, 2018 by Booch

Wpg needs a better back up plain and simple. If Edmonton gets Glenn they will have picked up the best backup plain and simple. durant would be OK and an improvement over Lefevour but he was not as good as Glenn last year. As for the comments that Glenn doesn't win games when it matters, that is true but not all of the time. He won last year's Eastern Semi-Final did he not? I am pretty sure all playoff games matter. Give Glenn a decent running game thereby keeping his pass attempts in the 35 range and he can win games. johnzo 1

Roberts, Reid, Cornish, Sutton, Messam, Marshall (though he's not in the same category as the others). Quality RB's/running game, have little to nothing to do with the lack of success Glen has had in playoff games. SPuDS 1
Blueandgold Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Durant was on the dumpster fire Montreal team, while Glenn was on a good Rider team that played better when he wasn’t in the game. How they played for those two teams isn’t exactly an apple to apples comparison. Edited January 12, 2018 by Blueandgold

Quality RB's/running game, have little to nothing to do with the lack of success Glen has had in playoff games. As I said he has had success in some playoff games. Not all, some. Many claim he never plays well when it matters. Last I checked ALL playoff games matter. Glenn played better than Durant last year, no ifs or buts about it. And that was behind a suspect O-line in Saskatchewan. I would be OK with Durant as a backup option, but Glenn at this point looks to be the superior of the two.

Floyd Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 Wow, sounds like the Als just signed Josh Freeman.

What about the other pieces of the puzzle with the Esks that needed to be signed? Looks like they'll go elsewhere. I hope this isn't what Walters does. I can't see John Hufnagel doing that with the Stamps. Or Wally in BC when he was GM.

I don't think there is a receiver in the league worth $200,000, I'd set the upper limit for that position at $175,000. I'd also reset the clock on QB salaries and make the max payout $350,000 so there could be more money for other players. If they don't like it they can find another pro football league to play in.

Didn't Walters already pay Nick Moore 180-190k a season...? I thought Dressler was close to that too when he first signed DR. CFL 1

If a player can get top dollar then good for him. However, when other positions go wanting because the team can't afford to pay the players already there because of it then that's just stupidity on the part of the GM. It sounds like Sunderland will be doing just that. .
SpeedFlex27 Posted January 13, 2018 Report Posted January 13, 2018 Just now, Floyd said: Why not? When Walters signed Moore there were rumblings that it was an overpayment First of all, Moore got a lot of money but $175,000 isn't going crazy. Second, who else did they overpay? Those 14 & 15 teams were brutal.
