blitzmore Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 19 minutes ago, DR. CFL said: I am suggesting that Dressler may have concerns about the stability and direction of the franchise. This is a business and players do make business decisions. Dressler also grew up in North Dakota.
Brandon Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 Let us not forget Calgary actually has the ability to recruit import receivers and they already have a decent group of guys. Also factor in the North Dakota part... With Chick..maybe be wants to be close to home and his family? Thirdly Dresslers age is a factor? Isn't Denmark older then him? When is 30 over the hill for receiver?

IC Khari Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 A short 4 to 6 hour drive for his family to visit or a plane trip to Calgary? This has to be factored in the Bomber's favour ...
Nolby Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 With the strength and conditioning coaches that are available to these guys, 30 is still young for a receiver.
Fatty Liver Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 Hopefully Walters holds his ground and doesn't fall for any of Dressler's agents shenanigans. Signing him would be great but not at any cost.
ALuCsRED Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Cory Watson was a rookie at 26 years old. Milt Stegall scored 108 regular season TDs after his 30th birthday (Jan 2000). Edited January 21, 2016 by ALuCsRED Jimmy Pop, wbbfan, Brandon and 1 other 4

You're calling Cory Watson one of the best receivers in CFL history??? (lol) Al Bundy 1
Taynted_Fayth Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 i was gonna say milt also started wearing body armor under his jersey too after that rib injury he suffered. the guy was pretty much S.W.A.T
IC Khari Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 Has Dressler signed with Calgary yet? And where can I get my tar and feathers ... on the march to IGF or beforehand?
FrostyWinnipeg Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 Small receivers, small DB's...yes, yes!

Blueandgold Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 Does that quote make anyone else think Dressler is using the Bombers offer as leverage for more money from a team like Calgary? Noeller and Tracker 2

I am thinking it means the Bombers are either not his first pick to play for, or that our offer is the highest but Dressler is surprised he couldn't get more and is waiting for someone to pony up.

M.O.A.B. Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I thought I heard it last night in H&L that the Bombers offer has a deadline. Maybe Dressler will just max the time waiting until that deadline. Edited January 21, 2016 by M.O.A.B.
17to85 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 Going to either Calgary or Winnipeg is the best case scenario. Either way the gappers are going to be pitch a fit. Brandon 1
DR. CFL Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 Why would Dressler panic and be pushed into a deal . Good on the Bombers for players big a little poker and not being leveraged into him getting more money there or elsewhere. You need to set a budget for what you truly believe someone is worth and hold fast. Huff does it in Calgary , that might work to Wpg advantage on this deal. The challenge will be if it is solely about the dollars for Dressler.

BomberBall Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 Any thoughts on what the price tag may be for Dressler? I believe he was making in the area of $240K in Sask.
Rich Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 I would guess he would be in the $180k - $220k range
bustamente Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 Anything over 175k i would pass on Dressler i'm sure we can find a couple of receivers if there not happy with what they have coming back plus we have more pressing concerns at ol, dl and rb. Noeller 1
Taynted_Fayth Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 Im thinking 190K with incentive to make 220
