Yeah that's crazy..glad for Kenny but what an overpay....he still really isn't proven in my opinion 

I was eager to see him go for back to back 1000+ seasons to prove it was no fluke. It won't be as easy, now. How does he live up to 300k?

Naylor reports that Kenny Lawler has committed to signing with the Elks… $300k. Unreal.

Report is also that they may sign Deon Lacey for $250k. Lacey is good, but not $250k good.

Pair him with winston rose and the combo are worth 250k. The CFL has lost its damned mind.

 I've pretty much come to expect that stove, harris, and lawler are gone. Sucks, I love those 3 guys. But this is how dynasties are maintained. Cant wait to see who they bring in as the next man up.

Elks signed a good one but are letting another go ....I hope we can swing a deal for Ellingson and his receiving yds. will greatly improve in 22'.....Lawler's ...not so ,much

He has definitely set a high bar. 

If he was going to leave I am glad it was for bank. 

 

[Booch]

And u will see why those 2 teams won't be successful...or sustain success when u basically nueter your overall lineup....guess in a way too...we see who were more about team and overall success and brother hood...cause u know damn well guys like the Jeff's...our tackles....biggie...rose...Bailey amoung others..all could have made a killing....not a knock on the other guys as I sure they wanna get paid...but like many have said it ain't all about the money...sometimes it's fit and comfort..culture...and to others...it ain't

Wish them well and hope when we play em we lay a licken on them to remind them where they came from

Yup ..I sure it only reason....wonder if he will regret it when battling for 4th...in front of a dead morgue crowd

[Geebrr]

I am never going to be mad at a guy getting paid.

If we were talking 10k, I may be a little more bitter, but this may be something like 100k.

If ellingson does sign here, I bet right now he ends up with more yards and tds than lawler, and returns to elite wr form. 

[rebusrankin]

300 k for Lawler is insane. Going to be hard for him to live up to it but good for him. So Jones's plan is to come in, ruin the salary structure of the CFL, have the team suck and bolt?

[Booch]

I still baffled on that Lacey deal....based on his stats ..and non impact type play last yr...and being 32 constitutes that money?? 

And 465k invested in Walker and Lawler is alot of scratch....if he doesn't come close to bettering what he did last yr that's gonna be rough

It is insane. 

[Booch]

Moncreif gonna command 300k then as he 2x the player of Lacey...good lord...so glad we got our guys when we did..

[MOBomberFan]

Who would have thought at the start of 2021 Kenny Lawler would be making almost double what Derel Walker is making next season

Lacey would’ve been a good WIL, but even if that’s the case, $250k makes no sense. If WJ is making $225… $250k for Lacey is wild.

You could almost get Burnham and Begelton at that price.

250k for Deon Lacey LMAOOOOOO

Well....let's get Nevis on value....grab Ellingson and Ambles and roll into cup number 3...

Yeah that's crazy..glad for Kenny but what an overpay....he still really isn't proven in my opinion 

Zero interest in Nevis whatsoever

[bustamente]

Losing one or two will not stop the Bombers from threepeating, they will find some value tomorrow

[Geebrr]

I am good with bringing in recruits to go with the DTs we have now.

I wouldn't go shopping. 

I am expecting the Riders to overpay for Laurent tomorrow.

[Booch]

Yeah...our losses suck...but we won without stove...and when Lawler was suspended kept on rolling too...we will survive just fine.

I'm in the camp of u don't overpay like an idiot to fill a spot...and downgrade 2 or 3 others in the process..can't sustain anything that way....pay fair value...and if someone don't like it...another guy will...been working just fine for us

[Noeller]

Games are won and lost at the line of scrimmage and the best teams are built from the lines out. That's where you spend your money. IWWT. 

[Goalie]

Who will be throwing the ball to Lawler?

I think we can find an import DT to challenge for the spot.

I also like Casey Sayles

[Booch]

Actually looked at Ellingson..I am sold now that I see he had almost 700 yards in 10 games in that shiitshow of Edm....with ZC throwing and the complimentary pieces around him yeah this may be a big rebond yr for him...sign me up

Yeah...I think too now we go with recruits..save the sms for elsewhere...Walker looked like a baller...Rose in his limited play looked like potential too...and didn't we sign a DT/Nose type this winter??

I remember the Wilcots guy we cut in camp last year, I don't think he was a DT/Nose guy though, so maybe we are thinking of different people
