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.

 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?

Dressler is older than Denmark by like 3 months

Cory Watson was a rookie at 26 years old.

Milt Stegall scored 108 regular season TDs after his 30th birthday (Jan 2000).

 

 

One of those players was broken down at 30 years old and the other one is the best receiver in CFL history.

Does that quote make anyone else think Dressler is using the Bombers offer as leverage for more money from a team like Calgary?

Isn't this what every free agent does?

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.

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.

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.
