It's the going rate for a frontline CFL starter. Harris at 500 isn't a bargain, but it isn't outrageous.

yeah but he ****ing sucks

[Noeller]

Harris doesn't SUCK, per se, but with that OL, he's going to be in a heap of trouble...

he is king of the yards between the 30's and no TD's tho...been that way forever...and wont change in sadsackville...not with the cast of plugs...slugs...and duds

Where is it reported that Weineke is getting that?

Yeah... I want to stick up for him... But I realized that he may be in for a year of utter futility and there's not going to be anything on the field making him look anywhere near a frontline player. Which, on his day, he absolutely is.

everywhere.... mostly 3DN pieces on Twitter. 

[holoman]

I've seen that he's agreed to terms, but I have yet to see any details.   Anything over 190 k would be grossly overpayment

[rebusrankin]

Wasn't there a report that Harris was getting one million over two years or 500,000 per?

Yes, I think I've posted twice about that.... according to 3DN (with info from Lalji) Harris is getting 1-million-plus over 2 years, and Weineke reported to be 225k, but not sure over how many years.

Interesting the Lions have yet to re-sign backup QB's Pipkin or O'Connor, could be a landing spor for Fajardo as I assume Dane Evans is now headed for MTL.

I would almost guarantee it's going to be the Faj N Dane Show in Montreal this year. I'm not sure why, exactly, but it's been rumoured for weeks now that Faj was going to follow Maas to Montreal. He's got a better shot of being the starter there than anywhere else in the league, if it's him and Dane. He's not going to unseat anyone else in the league for a starting spot...

[Booch]

Tha Als tho were able to sign their young receiver Julien-Grant...so not like they doing nothing...be funny if they countered the Rider offer for Harris and left em twisting in the wind...dare to dream??

Cant imagine Edmonton bringing Lawler back now....

It's between us and the Saskatchewan Overpay's.

Montreal has a lot of money to spend it would seem after losing half their team. I could see BC looking to make a splash but ive seen rumblings that theyre after Lewis.

If Montreal was allowed to spend that kind of cash, they wouldn't have lost half their team.

#Elks sill in the mix for Lawler who moved his family to Edmonton in the off-season. That’s a big commitment. EE want him back but a 333K per season over 3 years is quite steep. #CFLFA

That was also before the Dunbar signing.

For those that didn't click the link, Dunbar is receiving 200k and up each year.

I haven't found any tweet from 3DN or otherwise stating his price. Just that he's agreed to some kind of terms.

[rebusrankin]

Dunbar is a nice add for the Elks.

[GCJenks]

I sure hope TSN didn't plan some Free Agent Frenzy programming for next Tuesday. By the time that rolls around there won't be anything left to talk about but all the confirmations of things agreed to this week.

I wouldn't put too much into that...pretty easy to move the fam a province or 2 over...and have u ever lived in Cali where his family was?...I have....its freakishly and disgustingly expensive...300k a yr down there doesnt go that far....was a sound business decision to do so....and can be a nice tax savings as well.....

Just to follow up on that tweet from the Edm beat reporter, he has now said that the Dunbar signing means they're all but out on Lawler because of it.... so the "moving to Edmonton" thing didn't really mean anything. He's likely on the move somewhere...

Mitchell, and Dunbar is a pretty good duo.
