And some of the depth signings are going to be less than ideal. That's just the way it works (in the CFL anyway). Demski, Lafrance, Coates, Wolitarsky, Thera-Plamondon, Henry is depth... Baines is like a Jordan Reaves project.

Baines may not be great or even good, but he's better depth than either of those guys. Though I am certain you know nothing about any of those three.

So you bash me and then claim that an injured Tylor Henry 'couldn't make it out of camp' ? Or that Baines is better than either of them while pointing out that at least T-P is a long snapper. Typical. Pot calling the kettle black... while acting superior.

If you are calling a long snapper "depth" at receiver, I don't know what to tell you.
Jacquie Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 So what do you think? Just an update on the first couple of days of FA or a big announcement?
JuranBoldenRules Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 When they scheduled the media availability Muamba wasn’t available. Probably just general free agency presser. Noeller and SPuDS 2

He was a legit Canadian college star receiver. SPuDS, blue_gold_84 and Tracker 3

I’m calling Coates and wolitarski depth behind demski and lafrance. The rest of these guys - except maybe T-P are fighting to be the first phone call to rejoin the practice roster.

He'll make it to camp. If we plan to start 2 Canadian receivers we'll need the depth. Right now it looks like Demski, Coates, Wolitarsky, and Baines will hold those four spots with Henry, Thera-Plamondon, and any draft picks fighting for a spot. SPuDS and Tracker 1 1
voodoochylde Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 Volume on the Walters FA presser is terrible.
Noeller Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 So it sounds like the Bombers are interested in Henoc (of course they are...) but figure they'd have to shed a pile of salary to make happen. The agent isn't even taking offers yet. Still figuring out what he wants to do. Hopefully not a crazy process like The Tour.... Mark F and SPuDS 2

If Henoc (or his agent) is going to be doing any of the silliness like the tour, or if it's going to cause us to have to shed salary in order to sign him, I'd be in favour of looking at someone like Woods. I'm thinking that they already have a plan for the ratio so it's not like we absolutely need a Canadian MLB. If we can get him for a reasonable price though, then sure, why not? SPuDS 1
Mike Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 Sounds like Henoc still has his awful agent working for him. I wonder why he hasn’t caught on that signing for the most money he possibly can and milking every dollar out of a club is what makes him the first guy cut every offseason. blue_gold_84, Floyd, Blueandgold and 3 others 6
Booch Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 I don't think it needs to be a pile...he never said that...He hinted that the current SMS would need to be adjusted... SPuDS 1

Booch Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 yeah...his agent's advice is not doing him any longterm favors...time to re-think their strategy
Brandon Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 Won't be easy to squeeze money from teams after everyone has already dropped a lot on the first few days of free agency.

Booch Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 I would think so...we have adequate national back-ups..Fenner..Leggett..Fogg have SAM covered...and I think Jones is really gonna impress and take Knox's spot...so odd man out be Wild...possibly Flanders and we use Baumen in his spot
