Brown ends with roughly 983 yards 9 tds no picks 68.1% 9.8 yards per attempt 132 QBR

I love me O’Shea but I think sometimes he does things just because he knows it will piss some people off.

There hasn't been a QB free agency derby like there's about to be for Dru Brown in some time.

Combination of what he's shown and how bad most teams are at QB right now.

I really do think the Stumps go for him hard considering the QB’s they currently have.

Not going to happen,   the only team that needs a starting QB is Ottawa.     Maybe Calgary moves on from Maier since he sucked the big one tonight?

Didn’t Harris and blm both get 500k range this last off season? Some one is gonna offer him 400k plus and the helm of their team. And he deserves it.

Yeah I think Cornelius/Maier contract will be opening bid for Brown.

And I expect 7 teams in it unless BC pulls off miracle run to Hamilton.  Obviously 4-5 teams are a lot more desperate.  But for anyone thinking guaranteed money will keep teams out...they can trade most of the guys who have the guaranteed money, and even if they have to cut them it's $100,000 of an almost $6,000,000 cap.

Say Calgary signed Brown.  I'm sure they could deal Maier to Ottawa or Montreal, even Sask depending on what happens there.

Montreal too. Faj has held them back. And that’s two play off teams. I can see edm offering him a bag, maybe ham decent chance ssk. 
 I think it also means a team like ssk likely takes a run at buck and brown. But I don’t think they have a chance at either.

Sask is the last place I'd go If I'm a qb. Brown would be done in 5 games there

You really think BC signs Brown and cuts VAJ + Dane Evans for him?  

[17to85]

Y'all got me wanting to send collaros to a team with a shitty OL and keep brown.

We've had some highs and lows this year but it seems like the Bombers are peaking at the right time.

Brown is a better QB than anyone 7 teams have for sure.  There's no reason for teams to not look into making a move.

BC is going to do something if they don't make Grey Cup this year.  Sask clearly doesn't have a franchise QB.  Edmonton doesn't.  Calgary doesn't.  Montreal doesn't.  Ottawa doesn't.  Hamilton has a raw rookie and two guys over 30 who have been injured repeatedly in the past 3-4 seasons.

I'm just worried with the injuries to Bailey and Schoen.   Really tough to replace those guys.

BOLO seemed to have himself a game.

Trades Zach back to ssk for seventyhundred first round picks. Zach instantly retires lol.

Didn't see anything that would make me think Bailey won't be on the field after a 15 day layoff.

You really think that after all that Tre Ford showed in his first real season of starting that they cut him and sign Dru Brown.   You crazy!

I mean if you love having a guy that can't pass but can bust off one big scramble a game while you win 5-6 games a season.  Yeah Tre Ford is your guy.

Realistically they can have both and move on from Cornelius.  I don't believe Ford is a starter.  I think he's a Streveler type player.  Real nice complementary piece.  But you need someone who can pass, especially if Ford can't develop it.

Maier got some guaranteed money in his deal last year. Corny too. That said, I see a bunch of teams offering Brown a deal in the off season.

Chris Jones is clearly not a Ford fan; but apart from some crazy escape plays, he hasn't proven himself to be the guy yet.

Outside of BC and TO, every team will be talking with Dru's agent to see what it would take. They wouldn't be doing their jobs if they didn't.

Realistically Dru Brown has Ottawa and maybe Saskatchewan.  Dickenson won't go with a mostly unknown QB because that isn't his style.  I assume he goes for Rourke or Evans or whoever that has more experience.      I like our chances of keeping Brown long term since the QB  position is settled across the league.
