wbbfan Posted September 9, 2023 Report Posted September 9, 2023 1 hour ago, Eternal optimist said: Does Lawler's salary get saved a bit too or no? Not familiar with rules regarding the suspended list... That is a good question. “Once a standard player contract is signed, the player is entitled to the contract salary, no matter the roster he appears on (active, reserve, injured) except the suspended or disabled lists, until he is released.“ if the player doesn’t get the money I can’t imagine it applies to the cap. So im sure we get the base of his salary off, but not any signing bonuses etc. Eternal optimist 1

From the comments I have seen all through this year on this forum about 98% of this forum recognize there are issues with roster management. What you are calling out isn't a refusal to recognize a deficiency, what you are calling out is a refusal to get all worked up about it. There is a MASSIVE difference between the two. If this coaching trait upsets you fire away, let her rip, but don't get upset and dismissive to posters who aren't quite ready to pick up pitch forks yet. People fully recognize this is a problem, and quite frankly has been since MOS took over, but this problem has been overcome in past years very successfully to the tune of 2 Grey Cup wins and 3 straight GC appearances. That is why many of us are chill about it. MOS has clearly demonstrated an ability to consistently win...not just games but championships....despite his shortcomings. If at some point MOS fails to be able to produce wins as a coach then I am fully willing to dissect every aspect of any short coming he is showing that led to it. That being said, I wish he would dress Haba and a better returner. I share your concern on that. Edited September 9, 2023 by GCn20 Noeller 1

We will have and have had good players walk because we couldn't pay them or we couldn't play them. In that regard, we are victim's of our own success. I'd love to hoard talent but that's just not the reality we face. We also have seen numerous players stay in diminished roles here too because of our culture and our winning ways. Rasheed Bailey just immediately springs to mind. Drew Richmond as well, who has turned down a few attempts over the past couple years to be poached. In all honesty, I think that Walters is going to make a surprise move before the trade deadline to shore up out cup hopes. Likely targets will be from Edmonton, Ottawa, or Hamilton. I would think it will be on defence. Right when we get sleepy on our roster, KW quite often makes a big move. Last year it would have been Lawler, so a big fish this year would not surprise me.

JuranBoldenRules Posted September 9, 2023 Report Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) Jackson is a symptom of being a little complacent on the draft/Canadian part of the roster. They haven’t drafted an H-back type guy in a long while. They’ve been drafting for special teams, they’ve been complacent with a great group of Canadians but now they are all 30+ and we don’t necessarily have the guys to back fill because we haven’t been getting much out of the draft. To me it’s nuts (leaving aside the DL) that they’d rather have Jackson on than McCrae. McCrae is really useful on O even if they aren’t going to use him on punts. We don’t have any speed coming out of the backfield and you can only go to the well on the jet looks so much because it becomes obvious and a TFL/turnover waiting to happen. That’s like a 2-3 times a game look. And if Oliviera leaves a game we’re stuck with Augustine who can’t pass protect and is no threat with the ball. Yeah looked great playing with Streveler (4 YEARS AGO) when they actually ran a ton of RPO stuff with Harris out.
