Didn't he try to strong-arm the team for more money? I don't the club wanting to bring him back after that.

This is a very roundabout way of describing future Rider signings. Tracker 1

I haven't been to camp but he didn't look good last game and was picked on a fair bit. I'm actually hoping another DB steps up and takes that spot because I don't have a whole lot of faith there.

Nope ....his statement was that he lost interest in football and retired ....which came shortly after the money offer....same dif I guess....After someone makes a statement like that , I think that's the end of the line....Kind of a shame as we had high hopes for the guy

So he was under contract already and either asked for more or they asked him to take a pay cut going into a season where he was expected to play. I'm guessing it was the former and not the latter. Quote The six-foot-five, 314-pound blocker was the front-runner to replace Jermarcus Hardrick at right tackle in Winnipeg but elected to retire when he and the club couldn’t agree on a restructured contract for 2024. https://3downnation.com/2024/05/16/one-last-look-back-every-cfl-player-who-retired-since-last-season/ wbbfan 1

I think that is always a chance, we've seen established good dbs play them self off the team fast. Bridges, hackett, and bond seem likely to be close to mcghee. I think Norman is likely to stick around if they like his game at all, with his upside to be a next gen sam, half, or S. Fuller has a huge lean frame with tons of up side too. Bond and hackett are smaller play makers, where as Bridges has the typical db size. Edited May 31 by wbbfan

Called watching on a cell phone at the lake lol. But tonight it’s Winnipeg so should be fine but the weather may or may not cooperate which would cause long boring delays.
BigBlue Posted May 31 Author Report Posted May 31 2 hours ago, wbbfan said: it'd be nice if the league put together a panel of fans, media and such to make suggestions to the league to investigate. I've seen lots of great ideas on here, (especially from JBR, mike etc) on adjustments to rules and roster. The league and rule change committee seem stagnant. Fresh Ideas might go a long way. Some on line games, and companies do pretty extensive rounds of this bringing customers in house to bounce ideas off of and get core ideas from. I totally love what you're saying here. However, you cannot organize bureaucrats to support innovation. A couple of things we can do is (1) write a formal letter to the powers that be from this website. We would have to know where to address the letter: the Commissioner, the board of governors, individual team presidents, the players Association, and at TSN which decision-makers. (2) a separate website could be set up for fans across the country, for the individual players, for coaches and money management, etc. to float their ideas. It could become a debate site that the CFL marketing committee would be able to follow. Like any bureaucracy the real decisions are made behind the scenes by the unseen leaders who drive that decision-making process. It would also be worthwhile to follow the NFL rule changes and see how they might adapt to our game. wbbfan 1

I watch NFL and wonder why they even bother kicking off. Just let the opposition scrimmage from the 20 or 25 or whatever it is after the extra point try and give up on kick offs. Also - let's add fair catches to punts and never have any punt returns either. LOL

LOL we do have brains… Some of the stuff would really help,, other stuff should be avoided like the plague, For example, the NFL protect the quarterback rules would really help us up here with our franchise quarterbacks our kicking game is unique and those kind of NFL rules would just add up to stupidity for us

Pepper_Brooks Posted May 31 Report Posted May 31 Finally, a taste of 2024 football what a joyous day for us all! I was pumped for this game before they dropped the roster. But now it looks like it's going to be a snoozefest for fans. For us fans in the know, it's a perfect chance to focus on and enjoy some specific positional battles, rather than just watching the ball. The funny thing is, today's results mean almost squat to some degree. I guarantee one player will shine today and still get cut before the deadline. It just shows the real decisions happen in practice and the film room, which we'll never see. That's the mystery of pro football, so let's buckle up and enjoy the ride. Football starts in 6 days

Richmond had job opportunities in the US and to make it worth his while to stay, he needed to be at a certain pay tier. Everyone involved handled this properly, it just didn’t work out. bigg jay, Piggy 1 and Jesse 2 1
