I understand how bidding works. I also feel that when you've been as bad as us, you don't **** around, you make a large offer. Go in and offer 3 years at $230,000 or so.

How do you know Walters didn't offer that, or more? Your criticism of Walters here is ridiculous.

10-18 in the past season and a half. I feel justified in saying Walters should have made the best offer.
My point is Walters didn't know the best offer when he made his. It's called a bidding war. Walters will increase his bid if Henoc is interested in coming back to Winnipeg.

It's one thing if Muamba signs with Toronto or Hamilton to be closer to home.  That I can understand.  If however, it comes down to money and he signs with Toronto or Hamilton, then Walters has some explaining to do.  No excuse to be outbid by those teams.  

 

If anything he has to offer more money when factoring in the probable lost playoff incentives for this season.

The longer it takes, the better the chances Henoch will sign in Ontario- probably Toronto. Lets not cripple the team financially for one player when there are so many holes in our lineup.

Improving your defense covers up some other holes tho, you realize this right? Sure,doesnt change ratio but improves blitz, pass coverage by an MLB And run stopping., henoc > hurl.

Now, if we take hurl and henoc on field at same time.. 3-4 or whatever, we can use another american in liu of bucknor or on dline..

Henoc instantly makes our defense even better then it currently is.

The other issue is, Muamba's family lives in Toronto I believe.  I remember Bluto saying that he sat beside them at a Hamilton game when Winnipeg was playing there.

 

But yeah, I hope Walters puts up the money.  We need some good Canadian players.

Is it his intention to play in the CFL longterm? If it is, Walters 'here's our future plan' needs to be better than the other eight teams.

Should you break the bank for one player? It is interesting how Calgary uses the NFL model for their salary structures. Huff believes that certain positions warrant a specific range in pay structure. When a player gets to the top end and his demands exceed Huff's scale his philosophy is to find a replacement.

 

That is not unique.  You pretty much described the roster management that every professional sports team goes through, every team has a structure, they aren't making decisions in a vacuum.  Different managers place different values on certain positions and factors.  Muamba would be comparable to Cornish in terms of Canadians playing traditional import positions, break the bank-ers.  There aren't many teams paying running backs as much as Calgary does, basically them and BC.

Taman didn't adhere to this model and the end results speak for themselves.

True, but if you use Cornish as a comparison, does Muamba bring the same level of on-field impact that Cornish does knowing their on opposite sides of the ball?

Muamba plays every snap on D and probably every special team.  At his peak Cornish played 2/3 of the offensive snaps and got 17 touches a game.

 

Fantuz, Getzlaf and Cornish are all in the $225,000 neighbourhood, and there are a handful of offensive linemen up there too.  I think Muamba will be the highest paid Canadian in the league if he comes back.

Would love to see Muamba back here but not at any price. There always to seems to be one or two CFL GM's who see this sort of thing as a pecker contest and get carried away.

We know who one of them is.
