Floyd Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 Rutley to BC is weird - Rainey and Johnson already under contract
Booch Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 nothing wrong with competition in camp SPuDS 1

Noeller Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 @TSNDaveNaylor Some clarity on Darian Durant situation. Can confirmed Durant’s 150K bonus is due Jan. 16th (tomorrow). However I’m led to believe the matter of whether the sides can agree on a restructured contract is likely to be resolved by end of Monday. #CFL #Als
Booch Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 he should balk...he not gonna get it either way....so cut ties and work out something with a different team

I don't think Rutley has ever missed significant time due to injury, and he's the back up to Sutton. He is getting up there in age though.
Booch Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 28 for a rb..should be right in his prime...plus low mileage on him...he prob 2 good years as a feature guy in him easily Bigblue204 1

I was always surprised when he would resign with MTL as he has always looked like a solid back. Thought he would have tried to get a starting spot somewhere, earlier in his career.
Bigblue204 Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 Apparently Durant has been released.
Booch Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 always thought he would be a better back-up option than Glenn...so now here's our chance...If he had to start a few games he would give us a chance to win...and last year fiasco in Mtl was a team effort in futility...almost looked at times guys on offence couldn't give a eff Atomic and SPuDS 2

blueingreenland Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 Maybe Durant is a good option, but it would have to be for the right price.
Booch Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 pretty sure he knows now that if he wants to be on an active roster he doesn't really hold any negotiating power...it's come down to take it or leave it for best deal he's gonna receive
BBlink Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 Im interested in what the Bombers are thinking QB wise going into this season. Durant would be a good backup option but then we'd probably be looking at someone to groom for our 3rd QB ie. Not lefevour.
blueingreenland Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 If Bombers bring in Durant then there's definitely no room for the Fevour...we'd have to go minimal salary/rookie/developmental guy at 3rd string.
Noeller Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 I don't hate Durant as a #2/QB Coach type thing......pretty sure the #3 this year was going to be one of the developmental guys they had at the end of the year, anyhow...

Jaxon Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 I think that the Bombers should at least consider Durant if the price is right. That kind of experience factor is hard to come by.
Dirty30 Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 Let “The Fever” and Davis fight it out for back-up and see what you have in TC for third stringer . Curious if the club has anyone interesting on the neg list that they could possibly bring in .

Curious if the club has anyone interesting on the neg list that they could possibly bring in . Neither of these have shown that they are any better than Drew Willy, so what would be the wisdom in retaining either of them? I say we give Durant a decent, but not exorbitant offer and bring in a couple-three promising rookies. Edited January 15, 2018 by tracker bb1 1
