Bomber Free Agent Discussion

[J5V]

Man, Kyle Walters is really earning his pay. Tough job juggling the finances to get the best bang for the Buck with this franchise. Here's to hoping he can pull it off and roll out another championship-calibre football team in 2020.

The impact Jefferson's salary will have is on the 3rd import DL cap wise.  On the receiver end there's some money to spend with Adams money out of the picture plus the bucks they allocated last season for Matthews.  Signing Jefferson won't stop the pursuit of a top receiver as a replacement for Adams.

Are we moving on from Adams???must've missed it.....IF that's the case I hope we're in on Posey or Walker

Gotta keep money for if Kongbo gets cut. If we ended up with Kongbo Jefferson McAllister and ROH as our ends we'd be in great shape. 

I don't think we need to jump and over pay another end to replace wj if he leaves. We have the guys internally to replace at a huge savings.

What happened to Jeffcoat?

Nothing.  Bombers have him locked up through 2020.

Those two will likely end up with Edm and BC respectively

Dave Campbell is on twitter absolutely convinced that the Esks will sign Posey & that Walker wants to play with Reilly again.

Kongbo won't be back anytime soon. Several years, at least.

Willie will do what's best for Willie....it's the parsing of all of the ramifications that is the sticking point....I'm sure his agent has spelled it all out for him...that agent being Willie

I believe Willie will do what his wife wants him to do. 😉

 

 

And speaking of Willie and his family, his wife posted the cutest thing about their daughter (a really smart little girl):

Meant jeffcoat not Jefferson. If we get wj back great. If not I wouldn't jump to spend that money on another de.

Up here he is crazy valuable as a him down south he is one of a huge group of young athletic de hybrids. He has the talent and athleticism but they could just as well have wj and 10 similar guys in camp.

Willie possibly gone, and no Posey or Walker either? Not liking these recent developments. At this rate I'd be happy with Adams back and/or Daniels and a quality veteran DB or two.

Free Agency is not until Tue. Bombers can match all existing offers to Willie, tom. If they want to match it.

Daniels probably going to TO. Why any player would want to play there is mind boggling.

Really? Why?

Believe it or not, tons of players couldn’t give two shits whether or not there’s a rabid fan base. They want stuff to do and see with their time off and Toronto has a ton of it

Not quite. Kongbo was a big time NFL prospect before his injury. He’s an elite level prospect when healthy.

Are you sure that they don't all want to play in Saskatchewan?

I guess but I think players also appreciate a big crowd cheering them on Game Days. And while players don't like living in a fish bowl, I think also at times they like getting just a little bit of recognition as professionals. They won't get that in Toronto.

AND most likely playoff money.....but hey ...if they want to tie their immediate future to a loser....go for it

Willie will prob do 1 yr in T.O..realize how lousy it was playing there and be back here for 2021 for prob less then it would have cost us this yr anyway

That's a lot of wishful thinking there

So you think a player will sign else, realize how shitty it is at said location...only to come back for less cash cause of how awesome it is here?

I respect your opinion. But that's some crider level homerism right there.

[Blue_Dragoon]

That is definitely the same type of take we've been hearing from the inbreds one province West for years and years.
