greenrider55 Posted February 3 Report Posted February 3 I’m not sure how many of you remember last year, but the same source who told me Schoen was staying in Winnipeg just told me Lawler is going to Hamilton.
wbbfan Posted February 3 Report Posted February 3 On 2025-02-03 at 10:45 PM, greenrider55 said: Kenny Lawler reportedly offered $250k by Calgary. Did he not leave in 2022 only to immediately say the grass isn’t greener and he shouldn’t have chased the bag? I’m all about guys getting paid but it would be hard to pity him if he hates it in Calgary. Expand On 2025-02-03 at 10:48 PM, Booch said: Cant see how we couldn't fit that into our SMS HE made more last yr..as did Schoen... Expand The fact we are hearing he’s been offered that and not accepted it speaks volumes. Calgary’s offer doesn’t change what I think we should be in the market to pay. If lawler have come off an 18 game season where he played at the level we expect from him, then sure. But he isn’t. I don’t think lawler will chase that money to Calgary. On 2025-02-03 at 10:57 PM, greenrider55 said: Nothing yet, but the OL signings as a whole have been pretty quiet so far. Ryan Hunter re-upped with Toronto today, possible that’ll get the market moving. Expand which is pretty interesting. A lot of money being thrown around, usually ol command the premium. Might not be the pay day some guys are expecting left. I’d happily take him back, for well under 200k. Piggy 1 1

I do hope we pivot to Hatcher or Geno. Expand Hatcher is an interesting case, all the talent in the world, just has the Achilles injury now kind of looming. He’d be a great signing imo.

Expand The elk continue their expansion draft in free agency. hatcher goes back to BC right after being cut to avoid paying him an off season bonus. Like going back to a bad ex here.' I kind of wish the league/pa would step in on this one. Teams shouldn't be able to avoid bonuses this way and bring the guys back, especially right away. Just dirty.
Mike Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 Hatcher back to BC Feels like we’re going to be the odd man out in the receiver bidding, Geno will go to Calgary after they lose out on Lawler and we’ll end up with Rhymes or Acklin
rebusrankin Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 So is Ed Hervey shooting for another rule invoked because of him? Guy is spending like a drunken sailor. Piggy 1 and Fatty Liver 2

I do hope we pivot to Hatcher or Geno. Expand 2022, the year Lawler played for the Elks the Bombers did well, Schoen was an unknown rookie plus they had Demski, Woli, Bailey and Ellingson for half the season. Now they have Schoen, Demski, Mitchell, Clercius and Wheatfall with the fair chance Pokey shows up within a couple of months. Don't think they have reason to spend big dollar on a receiver if his name is not Lawler, for sure Zach would be very happy to have him back along with Schoen. Noeller 1

Did each of the other teams in the league complain that they can't attract free agents after we signed all of our star players over the last many years?

Spend the money elsewhere.
