Booch Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 I bet Willie settles in on about 265k...and that is a number I think we would be fine with....I bet to go to a sketchy team...Hello T.O and MTL he would ask for that 280-290 BC cant afford him...CGY would never pay that...Sask I doubt can make that work consider they still have to pay for an O-line still..Evan's want 200k...and they have holes all over their secondary and linebacking crew as well as D-line..Edm doesn't need him really based on roster make-up...nor need that salary....so I think it's gonna be between us and T.O/MTL..Dark horse being the Hammer...but if they grab him we sign Davis then...or target him anyway and we be no worse for wear
Bubba Zanetti Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 Sounds like Toronto is really making a push. I hope Willie factors in cost of living in the big smoke.

Pete Catan's Ghost Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 Toronto (hypothetically) can want him all they want. The dangerous part is submitting the binding offer. It’s pretty risky tying up 250000-290000, while knowing that we have the final 48 hrs of sole 1:1 negotiating rights. Essentially, it would take them out of the bidding for other big ticket free agents. Fred C Dobbs and Geebrr 2

I cant see WJ choosing to play for a none competitive team with 8 fans. Imo, if he signs in the CFL hes coming on down to winnipeg.

A ricky williams esq nfl QB would make some what of an improvement.

Flute couldn’t sustain it, and he had already cemented his place as one of the greatest CFL QBs of all time, before winning back to back cups with T. O. wbbfan and blue_gold_84 1 1

Stickem Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 Mont. I can see being a big player for Willie....He tweeted he really liked the Adams signing...Don't know if that means a thing BUT I think we better get ready to go toe to toe for his services,especially considering we have some cash to spend...We have some potential in the wings but not the big wing span caliber of a Willie, ....It'll be a bad sign if we can't re-up him and like someone else said, losing 2 big performers (Streve as well) from a Cup winner, will not sit well with the locals

Jpan85 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 Montreal is right against the cap don't think they are Willie players unless they unload a few more guys.
M.Silverback Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) I love Willie Jefferson. But, I also trust that Kyle Walters will not overpay for a position where there are other options. Lesser options, but, options that can provide 75% of the production, at 50% of the salary. Ja'Gared Davis potentially, as some have mentioned. Actually had more sacks last year. Not as much of an impact player, but, still effective.

Gotta start somewhere in Toronto. Willie would be a step in the right direction of trying to get back to respectability. Theyre currently a step below laughing stock in that city.

Nolby Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) 265 would be my max,if it's anything more then try luring Walker over instead. WJ comes off winning DPOY and arguably the grey cup mvps,dont blame him for asking for a large raise. Edited February 6, 2020 by Nolby Bigblue204 and Fred C Dobbs 2

Jpan85 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 Pay the man he single handily changes game. Next to a QB a pass rusher like Willie has the most effect on a game. There is a reason why in the NFL QB's and pass rushers are the only ones to go #1 in the draft. Firekid 1
Geebrr Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 It is relative. I agree he is the best DE in the league, but he isn't worth 50-60k more than say , Davis, to our team. Noeller 1
Jpan85 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 https://www.cfl.ca/2019/08/24/recap-winnipeg-34-edmonton-28/ This game proves that he is worth that kind of money. Bigblue204 1
