DR. CFL Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 The issue maybe not about just about the money. He maybe looking to be a rental player and only sign for the remainder of this season and chase the NFL again. Play a couple of months go to a Cup contender and try south again. Lots of variables here.
JuranBoldenRules Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 He'd be stupid to sign before the end of the current NFL season IMO. He spends 3 weeks on the active roster in the NFL and he makes what he could in a whole season in the CFL. Floyd 1
Brandon Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 Listening to Walters on H and L after work.. I wouldn't expect him to come back here. Walters really dislikes the agent...
Blueandgold Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 He'd be stupid to sign before the end of the current NFL season IMO. He spends 3 weeks on the active roster in the NFL and he makes what he could in a whole season in the CFL. 95K IF he can get on an NFL roster for three weeks(that's a big if) or about 100K for 8 weeks of work in the CFL? The only thing that makes me even slightly agree with your statement is the state of our sinking dollar.

The only thing that makes me even slightly agree with your statement is the state of our sinking dollar. Plus he'd basically be giving up on a NFL career if he signs in Canada. He's got 1 of 3 seasons towards a NFL pension. If he went down and got cut in his first training camp, it would make sense to come back right away, sort of like Dressler. He's played in the NFL and there's bound to be an injury, or 100, leaving teams looking for players like him. His value in the CFL won't change anytime soon as a NI, that money will always be there.
Floyd Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 If he's touring the whole effin league, he better be signing a three year contract wherever he lands
Mike Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 Listening to Walters on H and L after work.. I wouldn't expect him to come back here. Walters really dislikes the agent... Here's the thing though. EVERYONE dislikes his agent. Hardaway is brutal. SPuDS 1
Floyd Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 Hard away was the one that got greenwood into nfl right?

Here's the thing though. EVERYONE dislikes his agent. Hardaway is brutal. The story made it seem like Walters told him to shove it in a nice way. No plans for muamba to come visit the city.
SPuDS Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 The one thing this team is missing is a top flight Canadian starter. Henoc is a top flight player and I hope the Bombers are doing everything within their power to sign him. To do otherwise would be incredibly foolish. jamal westermann sayz sup.

Here's the thing though. EVERYONE dislikes his agent. Hardaway is brutal. The story made it seem like Walters told him to shove it in a nice way. No plans for muamba to come visit the city. Just listened to it. Not at all what he said. He basically said the agent is looking for a one year contract that has a huge signing bonus for December and then have him go back to the NFL. I want Henoc back, but that is ludicrous.

Sure is funny how people twist things to hear what they want to hear. I heard what you heard as well.
Brandon Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 At what point did they say Muamba was coming to town? Also did you miss the part where Walters even said he was being facetious when dealing with the agent? How is any of these things twisted? Lawless asked Walters point blank if they wanted Muamba and he said yes but so does every other team and that the agent was playing games and most likely only wants an NFL offer. I don't see any way you could get the vibe that the Blue were close to signing the guy at all.

I don't see any way you could get the vibe that the Blue were close to signing the guy at all. I took it as the Bombers have as good a chance as any team. And Walters did say that the agent is regularly keeping him updated on everything regarding Muamba's visits, intentions etc.
The Unknown Poster Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 Walters distinctly said they had invited mamba to visit.
gbill2004 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Posted September 17, 2015 Walters distinctly said they had invited mamba to visit.Yes he did. But I'd also understand why there's no need to now, since he already knows the city, management etc. Or maybe he's leaving Winnipeg for the last visit.
bigg jay Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 He might be familiar with the team and city but he may want to chat with Hall since he's the DC now.
Tracker Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 We (and every other team) is being jerked around while Henoc lusts after more NFL paydays. I am beginning to lose respect for him and although I would like to see him back here, enough is enough. Poop or get off the pot. bustamente 1
Mr Dee Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 We (and every other team) is being jerked around while Henoc lusts after more NFL paydays. I am beginning to lose respect for him and although I would like to see him back here, enough is enough. Poop or get off the pot.Although I couldn't put it so eloquently, I agree. This is nothing more than a sham/stalling technique for a return to the NFL. I don't believe they are seriously considering the CFL, unless there is some jaw-dropping numbers that I don't believe any team can provide anyways. Quite the little play for drama, but let's get serious, he doesn't have to visit all the cities...he's been there, and knows all the offers. He would be on a roster by now. They're wasting our time and we can tell them to call us, if and when they get serious.

gbill2004 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Posted September 17, 2015 The longer this goes on the more I'm okay with passing on Henoc. Sounds like he only wants to sign a contract for the rest of this season so he can try for the NFL again next year.

Goalie Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 Neil McEvoy the BC asst gm said the same thing pretty much. If you read McEvoys quote... and read between the lines a bit, you'd get the same answer Walters gave. It is what it is really and personally if henoc just wants a deal for this year... pass and go after Wild instead who might be more open to signing for longer. Wouldn't mind having henoc back here but if it's just for this season only... probably not. If henoc is looking for a long term deal... go all out and get him... if not and it's just for 7 weeks... why bother.
