let’s go back to arguing about Jake Thomas now 

ITS BULLS*IT!

[Goalie]

If teams were willing to give Brady 250k, how is 230k an overpay? I don’t get that logic. Brady got market value, actually took less than that to stay.

Only once GCn acknowledges McCaffrey and James Cook are not equal

I just was so unhappy at the thought of either of those two leaving and now everything feels as it should.

Who puts up 26 tds in 34 games? Most QBs dont do that in their first 34 games played. Few rbs have ever done it. A wr? ROADHOUSE

Well I must admit if you told me we would get Brady and Schoen for 460k I wouldn't be that upset. This makes me happy. Brady at an overpay but Dalton on a discount= fair market value for our big 2

I imagined a lot of different variations of this playing out, and honestly, that was never one of them.

to think keeping both Schoen and BO could be done for less than 500k a year combined for the year would have been a pipe dream...now get a legit End for WJ and lets get to work

Davis II and Bennett 🤞🏻

@greenrider55 get in here and explain yourself you wizard

I’m genuinely baffled at some of the reactions in here lol have we just turned into a ridiculously spoiled and entitled Rideresque fanbase who thinks everyone should take less money for the honour of playing here?

The Bombers just signed the MOP finalist, MOC winner to a two year contract in the prime of his career. Take the hometown element out of it.

MBB members, with no information on other offers, negotiations, the Bombers’ internal cap, how much other players get paid, how much the Bombers were anticipating paying, how much Brady asked for, where we’ve spent or plan to spend other dollars, where we’ve saved or plan to save other dollars or really genuinely any information about anything at all other than just a bunch of retweets from guys they only trust if the information suits their narrative: “tOo MuCh”

 

what?

Some people on here are crazy. I think some just want to complain for the sake of complaining.

Walters literally can't win no matter what he would do.

Brady, Dalton, and strevy could've all made a lot more money for the same roles they took but going else where.

 Dalton was woli's new bff and room mate. Strevy his old one, and the best man thing at the wedding. They are going to have to figure out a way to have all 3 share a room next year.

WRONG! Not some of us. All. lol 

[Stickem]

I want to hear we picked up Kongbo and Mason Bennett....that would really make my day

[bustamente]

My greed wanted both and I feel vindicated, both stars signed it's time to fill in the gaps

Hahaha. I have a friend who works at 3DN, he told me this morning, I just thought it would be announced sooner.

[Goalie]

Similar to Scheifele and hellebuyck signing matching AAVs.

The best part of this is that - while some teams are signing guys hoping they will be on their roster in a week- ours are actually locked in (minus Pickett I guess). 

[Brandon]

I was going to post about how on Riderfans they were saying how Winnipeg is no longer a place where players want to stay or take a hair cut to remain on the club. 

They also said Hardrick is amazing and how we are doomed and that the Riders o line is now repaired. 

They still have many crazies on that site.

 

If they sign Oulette then good for them, RB was one of the few positions that they had talent. Wake me up when they replace their o line and secondary and upgrade the depth at nearly every position.

[JohnnyAbonny]

I’m risking hyperbole but I think Kyle Walters is a top 5 GM in the history of the league, arguably the greatest.
