Chris Williams signs in Ottawa

[Brandon]

Wow huge signing bonus!

On paper, Price-Sinopoli-Williams-Jackson-Ellingston is a heck of a recieving corps.

Yup. But that's also a ton of money tied up in import receivers. 

 

 

Guess it depends how much $$ was freed up by Burris 'restructuring'...  offence starters could have 50% of cap tied up in 12 players

Just read on twitter that he got in the neighbourhood of $220k from Ottawa. That was $80k higher than the next best offer from BC.

 BC with the lowball but yet again, Desjardins continues to bid against himself. Probably could've had him for something around 180k realistically.

Unbelievable.  Desjardins is going to put Ottawa into cap hell within 3 years and that will undue what little progress that franchise makes during that time.  The other GM's must be gobsmacked.

Overpaid for Williams if Sweep's right about his numbers.  Huge signing bonus too assuming CFL News is right.  Still... should be good for a few more wins for Ottawa this year and they really needed the star power.  I'd love to have Williams on our team, but not at those dollars.

Great player . OTT needs stars. Where will Desjardins sacrifice to make room for salary. Lots of expensive eggs in one basket.

[Stickem]

Is it that strange that Desjardins came up with a nice payday for Williams???This is the guy you must remember,that cut a million dollar cheque for Casey Printers when he was with Ham. Sky is the limit with Desjardins..lol

[Tracker]

Must be nice to play with other peoples' money.

So paying Williams less than Getzlaf is a travesty and Desjardins will ruin the league with this craziness, I disagree
