If they don't do something big in FA the Riders will finish last in the West. I'm calling it now..... At first glance, I wanted to agree with you, but the situation in Vancouver is not good,

I have zero faith in the Rider scouting bringing in much.

They're in for him and willing to spend big bucks! Truly. Well, I was thinking I missed something like Jones was rehired. Heard he was on Pedersen Show the other day and he mentioned, "I want to coach and will be coaching somewhere" and the word "Shenanigans" entered my mind, when I saw, Micah Johnson to Regina and I thought, yep,,, Jones has been hired, this was his first move to please "Rider Nation" and of course, I will do whatever, my way... I'm having a hard time understanding, Micah Johnson back to Regina. If some of these clubs are working towards the floor of the salary cap, which I kind of thought O'Day was doing based on his media briefs, communications and hard stand on Hughes (but, with these guys, its lip service as well at times), I don't see it. I believe, O'Day is trying to run his team the same way that Huff (Calgary) and Walters here in Wpg. Just an opinion and how I arrived at my conclusion. Fajardo has a lucrative contract for a guy with basely one year of playing time, there are 5 other qb's in their camp (2 which have been in the cfl, 1 for sure isn't ELC), experienced upper end priced secondary, elite receiving group (well compensated), some o-line guys that are long in the tooth, word is they are holding monies for Judge and others such as (o-lineman Johnson out of Ottawa, for starters) and MJ. Probably in and around 500 k for that group of 3 - 4... So, I just ask,, how can they bring MJ back and be within the numbers of the cap, that is being talked about? Oh yes, Creative Accounting....
Dirty30 Posted February 8, 2021 Report Posted February 8, 2021 So no rumours about any potential free agents from other teams signing here besides the Micah Johnson rumour? I was really hoping for a deep threat receiver at least but there doesn’t seem to be any left. I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a bit of a snooze. rebusrankin 1
M.O.A.B. Posted February 8, 2021 Report Posted February 8, 2021 My guess based on needs: Canadian LBers - we only have Briggs & Gauthier on the roster while 2020 draftee Rodgers is unsigned. Miles is testing FA. I can still see Miles coming back. But I'm curious if the Bombers will be interested on the Herdman-Reed twins. Canadian Receiver - we have Bockru on the roster while another 2020 draftee O'leary-Orange is unsigned. I can see us picking up at least one. Hope it's not Feoli-Gudino again. Devon Bailey is a big guy, Tevaun Smith had a good 2019, and Natei Adjei is very good on ST. Canadian DB - Maybe a return of Loffler?
Noeller Posted February 8, 2021 Report Posted February 8, 2021 Walters said this morning they won't be active in FA. Said his money is all but spent. Don't expect anything particularly interesting tomorrow. Colin Unger 1

JCon Posted February 9, 2021 Report Posted February 9, 2021 You know it's Free Agency day in the CFL because the Jets are going to steal all the headlines with their big, big, big, trade acquisition playing in his first game. Ackie.
Dirty30 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Posted February 9, 2021 I feel like the kid at Christmas who hears all his buddies got all the new video games and the other cool toys everyone has been talking about all year...and all I got this year was clothes ☹️. Forgetting that I got the puppy I’ve always wanted last year. rebusrankin and WildPath 2

Thats good, makes them weaker. Judge is better then those guys. Just now, JCon said: Riders need help on the line. Johnson has been a lock for months. Yup. Probably overpaid to make sure they get him cause they be weak on the D-line Noeller 1
MOBomberFan Posted February 9, 2021 Report Posted February 9, 2021 Where does Loffler go? Muamba? Cooper is a good RB hitting his prime, he needs more starts
