Rigmaiden would be a good GM but anybody taking over BC has a challenge with those 2 QB contracts + trying to bring back Betts among other issues.

If I'm Amar Doman, I'd give the GM job to Ringmaiden & take it away the "Co GM' title from Campbell. The way he coached the Lions I'd not trust Campbell to be able to do both the HC & GM's job. The qb position became a clusterfuck & never had to be. That was Campbell's fault. He's lucky Doman never canned him.

pretty sure B.C will deal Vaj out east....no way they trade him to EDM/CGY/SASK . Not sure how his contract is structured an if when his bonus is due...if he gets one....but not sending him East if they can does them no good

Maybe he ends up back in Mtl and the Faj can go to Sask hahaha

Toronto is the only East team that makes sense.

Kelly is their qb. Dinwiddie has made that quite clear. Good chance he'll be ready for training camp next season. Or he may miss the first 3 or 4 games. Can't trade Adams to the Als. They have Fajardo & VA would be owed half of his salary which would be $250,000. The RedBlacks seem happy with Dru Brown, The only 2 teams that make sense are the Ti Cats, Riders or Elks.

I offered up Toronto because I wasn't sure how long Kelly would be out for. I agree on the two teams you mentioned and think the Stamps as well.

I added Hamilton to make 3. I forgot about the Stamps. But they're so cheap they probably wouldn't want to guarantee Adams half his salary & who would they ask for in a trade? Beggelton & Judge??? Not much else there.

Not sure if the Argos are willing to give up on Kelly and carrying two such heavy contracts would cripple the club finances.

Stamps have to be the most desperate of all the clubs but whether they would be willing to guarantee a substantial percentage of Adams' contract- who knows?

Stamps did resign PJ Walker to a 2 yr deal...

Is the Faj signed? I thought he was a FA after this yr....and is BO really the future in the Hammer...I can see the VAJ there

B.C would be extremely dumb to trade him to any West team tho..why help a team that could knock you out of a playoff spot?

Be interesting because Whiny Faced Harris is a FA too...do Riders re-up him? 

So glad we are basically set going into camp with ZC..Wilson...I'm sure Dolebanana gets asked back...we signed Grainger as well...and I 99.8 percent certain we bring back Strev...so we will be fine there

Not to mention how well The Chads rehab goes may influence things.

Jake Maier may have played his final game with the Stamps. He would be a suitable backup here (instead of Dolegala) while the Bombers continue to develop Wilson.

Faj is under contract for 2025.  

VAJ apparently wants some say in where he goes so I wonder if Campbell does that for him (Montreal did when they sent him to BC).  Smart move would be to send him east but where does he go if Hamilton sticks with BLM?

Fajardo is signed Alexander is a FA

[Bigblue204]

Hamilton also has Tuas Brother who they seemed to be high on.

“Sometimes, having two incredibly talented quarterbacks is not a good thing because it divides people. It divides fans, it divides guys in the locker room, it divides coaches,” Fajardo said in his end-of-season media availability on Monday. “I have all the faith in Coach Maas and in Danny in them making the right decision — whatever that decision is.” 

Cody, Cody, Cody, no matter where he is, where he's been or where he's going, given the chance he always manages to say the wrong thing.

Sounds like Alexander is also chomping at the bit to replace him and will be looking for a starting role this off-season wherever that may be.

Guy is talking like he’s Mahomes and not a C+ CFL QB.

[rebusrankin]

Is there a world where Montreal lets Cody go? I think they keep him but what do I know?

[Atomic]

Fajardo goes to EDM, Alexander stays in MTL, Adams goes to the Stamps, Maier goes to the Riders who also bring back Harris. Kelly, Collaros, Brown, BLM and Rourke stay put

Quoting this so it gets even more visibility...

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!

[17to85]

Faj never stopped believing the rider hype. 

Sad how guys believe that ****. I think that happened there this season too. That team seems like they really thought they were better than they are because the non-stop media adoration.

Also Mahomes (or any great QB) wouldn’t even complain about his back up being good. Could you imagine Zach whining about Brown doing well and spitting the locker room? Just go out there and play better than your back up Cody!

Opposite of Zach really. Brown has mentioned multiple times how Zach was a great mentor to him. Exact opposite 

[Goalie]

It’s kinda weird. Both lions football teams, BC and Detroit have a Campbell head coach. Detroit’s obviously much better.

V.A. isn't any better, said a number of things in his season end presser that were better left unsaid.

I look forward to seeing the teams grades from the pa in December that should be really interesting

I wouldn’t want either on my team and if I’m Montreal I’d sign Alexander right now and trade fajardo.
