JuranBoldenRules Posted September 6, 2018 Report Posted September 6, 2018 Rainey will be cut next week if they can’t trade him. Likely cost is a mid-round conditional pick.
Booch Posted September 6, 2018 Report Posted September 6, 2018 Well he would alleviate our return issues thats for sure...but how do we roster him when we can't even roster a Flanders if we wanted JCon, Tracker, blue85gold and 1 other 4

Stickem Posted September 6, 2018 Report Posted September 6, 2018 Rainey is a solid little returner but it would be tough to get him into the line-up for sure....I'd prefer to pursue Burnham IF Hervey is wiling to deal....A receiver of his calibre would go quite nicely with Adams...
Jpan85 Posted September 6, 2018 Report Posted September 6, 2018 Tough day for receivers walker out 6-8 weeks Jordan and Saunders done fore the year.
Booch Posted September 6, 2018 Report Posted September 6, 2018 Maybe they could use Lankford Wanna-B-Fanboy 1

Not sure why this qualifies as cherry picking? One might expect that the first overall pick is a LOCK to be a front line impact player. As for the other picks listed....well done but I’m sure they align with comparable picks across the league. blitzmore 1

You'd think. But in the CFL that just isn't the case. Mostly because the 1st overall often isn't the most talented. Just the most talented who isn't going south...which often means there is a few years of development a head at best. Though sometimes you get a good one and they play right away. But that's not the norm. blitzmore 1

Apparently they are done with Rainey and his contract is guaranteed for the season next week.
Floyd Posted September 6, 2018 Report Posted September 6, 2018 Trying to think of the last first overall that has paid off... Lavertu I'd think I'm excluding 2015 draft because basically the entire first round paid off...
