Walters will need time to get other players under contract and/or figure put replacement plans and we still seem to be in a holding pattern. Probably can't let it go on too much longer. I understand the reasoning on wait on Schoen, but he may be the more difficult sign. I can't help but think he's going to have a few teams bidding higher than we can reasonably expect to compete with. Thats true. Though honestly ratio breaking young nis have brought silly money too. Like desjarlais. Though he’s the one guy I wish we would’ve over paid for now. 10 minutes ago, JCon said: Must have some DL coming up from down south. Get cheaper and younger on the line. Or it’s just his constant over confidence in his ability to replace dl. To me it’s more interesting that Toronto has gone after ceresna. Excellent dl for sure but they are deep and have a bunch of front 7 free agents. Makes me think they expect to lose multiple guys.

I can't help but think he's going to have a few teams bidding higher than we can reasonably expect to compete with. They might be in a bit of a holding pattern (at least publicly) but Walters has already stated that they might have move on to other guys so they are aware the clock is ticking. And it's not like they can't/wouldn't start talking to other guys in the mean time, even if no deal is finalized/announced yet. Noeller and wbbfan 2
Noeller Posted January 15 Author Report Posted January 15 woulda loved to have had Ceresna, but I'm sure as **** not giving up Demski to get him.... BigBlueFanatic, Stickem, Bigblue204 and 4 others 7

Dude on RF suggested CJ went out and got MBTs favourite receiver- makes sense since they had great chemistry when they played together. And CJ is usually always able to find a stud d lineman. 6 minutes ago, wbbfan said: Excellent dl for sure but they are deep and have a bunch of front 7 free agents.

bluto Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 Just now, Noeller said: woulda loved to have had Ceresna, but I'm sure as **** not giving up Demski to get him.... We just came through a season where our highest paid receiver was (by and large) not a factor in our 16-2 record. And he had a lingering hip injury. And his salary was comparable to the guy we got for him. Makes sense from our perspective. With Ceresna in, I suppose this means that either or both of Oakman or Hendrix won't be back. I wish KGJ a prosperous reunion with MBT. Bigblue204, wbbfan, Piggy 1 and 1 other 4

17to85 Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 Ceresna is a damned find defensive lineman... but geeze not sure I give up a good young Canadian player for him.... Tracker, Noeller, Bigblue204 and 1 other 4

I thought the value was interesting as well. Cgjr was disappointing last year. Ceresna is in the top tier of dts in the league. Would I trade woli for him?(if he wasn’t a pending fa) yeah I would. And I love woli. I’d probably trade any of our ni ol Cept Eli maybe Dobson too. I’d trade Kramdi, and any one of our ni defensive guys. I wonder if this is edm being crazy, tor selling high on gittens, or if this is the value right now for top end dts and ni starters. I mean if that’s his value, what would Brady be worth in a trade?

Stickem Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 Gittens was/is no slouch and Jones finally did something right....For value , Elks win this one....Ceressna is an off and on player....looks good on a rush and then disappears....TO is definitely going to have to swing more deals, as their former D coach is going to scalp them...I wonder if we're having a good look at their roster and contemplating a move???

When he’s the no1 target down field and woli is the 5th he’s more productive. Imo if they both got the same offensive role I think woli would out perform him. And he has the versatility to be a great blocker at the line or down field. Cgjr is a good wr idk who id compare him to. Demski is tough because he’s a converted rb who could play rb in the cfl from all we’ve seen. He’s the best jet motion guy in the league, the best blocker down field, and a great wr. Idk who compares skill wise to Demski.

I think the closest comparison to Demski is Begelton, both are tough, elusive and good at accumulating YAC. Mark H. and wbbfan 2

Mbts pay has to be cleared and ceresna was one of the top dl in terms of pay.

Not sure 2k is all that great of savings. Ceresna is making $212,000 vs the $210,000 for KGJ (who also is due a $55k bonus in a couple weeks as part of that).

rebusrankin Posted January 16 Report Posted January 16 Brissett had a nice year last season and Nield had a nice stretch of games later in the season. wbbfan 1
Goalie Posted January 16 Report Posted January 16 (edited) Plus MBTs dead ancestors used to throw the old pigskin around in the cornfields with Curly Gittens so gotta take that in to account here. Likely no relation but still. Edited January 16 by Goalie Noeller and wbbfan 2

Nield was very good to end the year, likely what made Gittens more expendable. Count me in the group that thinks the Elks win this trade as of now though. Ceresna, while good, I’m not sure has the same value.
