bluedawg Posted December 2, 2023 Report Posted December 2, 2023 So we had the money in the ops cap to bring back Walters, Goveia and Danny Mac. Then we were able to keep Buck god knows how.

Didn't mind him. Davis will be done in the CFL. Doelaga probably back with the Riders If I had to guess its dru brown in winnipeg or Ottawa if he gets a fat cheque. Dane Evens or Schilitz I'd take to replace him. Wouldn't want either to see the field for longer than a game or two, though. I saw Strev worked out for San Fran.. doesn't look like he was picked up. I for the life of me can't understand why he's not cracking a roster. Taysom Hill has proved valuable to the saints year after year.. It's also mind boggling to me that Rourke is merely on a PR. He looks like a solid number 2 NFL qb. Edited December 2, 2023 by CodyT

So, you'd prefer a 22 year old rookie with no experience to a veteran backing up a 35 year old Zach Collaros with a running qb like Prukop for short yardage? Yeah, good luck with that scenario if Collaros goes down. Our season would be ******. You'd be crying the blues when we go out one & done in the playoffs. If we even make the playoffs.

Booch Posted December 2, 2023 Report Posted December 2, 2023 9 hours ago, Jesse said: Man, I can’t think of anything worse than that scenario. Money wont keep Dru here, it would never come to that. Keeping Schoen means finding one or two guys on rookie deals in the starting line-up. I don’t know if that would ultimately be worth the trade off. no....means replacing a Biggie from the starting lineup.....dumping an Augustine at 100k and replacing with a rookie....a Thomas.....a Briggs....a Kolo....not re-upping a Houston and using our scouting to replace him....Benson.,,,Miller....you replenish with entry level guys there, or guys coming into only the second contract in free agency from elsewhere 7 hours ago, GCn20 said: You mean the guy who got effectively demoted mid-season in Calgary because he refused to call a passing play over 5 yards? will fit right in there then...keep em coming Oday Piggy 1 1

Probably have to make a bunch of those just to pay for the bumps for other starters you want to keep. Big bumps like Brady and Dalton are going to require more significant moves. CodyT 1

That’s how we developed Brown in the first place. We’re paying Zach too much to overly invest in the depth. Prukop + rookie is what I’m expecting.

Interesting situation in Ottawa, they currently have 6 QB's listed on their roster, including Masoli and F.A. Arbuckle, if they intend to go after Brown they'll have to shed some serious weight. I think they'll want to hold onto Crumm for future development but they may end up dumping Pigrome or Tyrie Adams along with Masoli and Arbuckle.
Mike Posted December 2, 2023 Report Posted December 2, 2023 I’m getting a little tired of seeing us sign guys we’ve already had up here before. We’re not in the position to be bringing in guys who aren’t ready to compete for a spot. wbbfan, JohnnyAbonny, Piggy 1 and 1 other 4

Noeller Posted December 2, 2023 Author Report Posted December 2, 2023 couple of things... -I think it's getting harder and harder to convince players to come north... they're going to wait for NFL PR spots or maybe even the USFL/XFL league.... so it's tougher finding new talent to bring in -Matthew Schiltz is a poor man's Dakota Prukop......and I don't particularly care for Dakota Prukop.
