Why trade for a player that you know will cost you 60K from the get go and you know will be released prior to the payment due date? Nice try Popp.

Well, if several teams really wanted said player - remember the Reilly sweepstakes?

[rebusrankin]

So do we make a bid here?

[Mike]

No way do I want Muamba.

Unfortunately for him, his agent is going to be one of the biggest reasons he never amounts to much more than a temporary mercenary in the CFL.

He's probably going to try to negotiate a one year deal at this point.

[DR. CFL]

The difference being Reily was committed to the CFL and had basically negotiated a contract in advance. So you knew what you are getting. He of costs you 60K off the get go and becomes a one year player. His agent is an absolute knob that will ultimately destroy the credibility of any player he represents.

[Goalie]

Gotta question Muambas agent here. Odd time to have a bonus coming up. Right after free agency. If I'm Henoc I'd probably think long and hard about getting myself a new agent. I think 1 yr deals are likely for him and if that's the case... I'd rather just pass. If he was willing to sign for 2 or more I'd make him an offer.... take it or leave it style. If he takes it... great. If not.. that's ok 2 cuz I don't think we need him as bad as some think we do. He would be nice to have but... 1 year deal?  No thanks. My guess Is he probably signs a 1 yr deal in Edmonton or Sask. They say 3 teams showed interest. Wonder who the 3rd was cuz rumor has it.. it wasn't us

Martins a big boy 6'3" 316lbs, wonder what spot on the line hes competing for

[Blueballz]

The way we spent in FA, would Muamba for one year be such a bad thing?

I like Jonte's size as well, 6 foot and some decent experience in the NFL (granted not in the best of secondaries.. but I digress)

Don't the Als have like 12 quarterbacks under contract?  

[iso_55]

I have no idea how the Als can even be in that situation... Now we're talking a huge fine to match & a loss of a first round draft pick if they don't clean that up.

[bigg jay]

They just renegotiated the deals for Bear Woods, Chip Cox and SJ Green so that should help a bit (at least short term).

 I wouldn't be too happy if I was Woods or Green though since their new deals were only a month old.

[rebusrankin]

$700,000? They still need to cut what, $650,000 to be safe (ie pay a fine but nothing harsher)?

[M.O.A.B.]

I'll expect the Als to be in red when all the expenses for 2015 has been submitted / reported.

[Bigblue204]

700,000 over? You had better be World beaters for that price
