What kind of $$ will we pay arceneaux coming off a major injury and at 31 years old? 160k?

Fair price, give Manny a year to prove he's recuperated, if nothing else he helps with the downfield blocking.

Wonder if you signed Hazelton and Arceneaux and then 6 game Manny to start the year get him 100%.

All the woulda coulda shouldas - ran away and hid...

It is a valid point though ,mate. There should be some loonies to throw at those guys should they fail down south.

Why his talent isn't a question. It's only his health.

I also like Sinkfeld if he's still available.

Too old, injury prone, and coming off a big injury. Been there done that. I would have liked someone who can continue to build their career here, like Adams has.

Saying that, I'm not disappointed in FA. I think the bombers have the guys in house that can fill some of the holes. Was just hoping they'd be able to lure in one of the top WRs.

Feel like the receiver every keeps describing tall guy who can get down the field is on the roster but is Canadian.

Who the fu@k is even going to throw to him?!?!?!?

[Dodge and Burn]

Chris Mathews is still out there? Will be cheaper that Walker as well.

The way receivers are being paid what ever they are paying Darvin is a bargain.

And for good reason.

CfL going crazy again...over 700k for Qbs and close to 300k for rec...last time i looked league revenue is not shooting through the roof...what gives? If the CFL is healthy great i have no problem with these guys getting paid but with fewer butts in the seats and tv viewership down last year this is a headscratcher...except i have seen in too many times in the CFL. Is Walters the only prudent GM left ? Or did he miss that the salary cap is going up?

The CFL has always been an arms race, you don't build a championship team, you have to buy it.

I have this dream where we give a receiving prospect like a full season to emerge instead of 3 games before cutting him...

...cutting him so Lankford can get back in the lineup

You can sleep easy since Lankford was signed by the RedBlacks.

[Jacquie]

Are Rider fans talking about what a force they will be offensively now that they have Collaros and Cody Fajardo as their QBs?

The Stampeders put that theory in doubt.

Bull. It’s through scouting, and drafting. You can add, heck a free agent signing may even put you over the top but you do not build through free agency.

Remember before all these WRs became 200K players some other team and scouted, recruited and developed them.

How does he figure the Argos are a near lock for the playoffs? Only two teams usually make it from the East, the Ticats will take one of those spots, and the Argos missed last year.

I've been a vocal critic of Darrin but I'm coming around. He's certainly getting better scoops. 

But, he comes out with this ridiculous rationale. He was pumping the Edmonton tires. And he's always trying to sell some sort of idea. He still has a long way to go.
