Thinking more about it... I wonder if the final year of his last deal is being torn up and he's taking a cut in exchange for term. Be curious to see the numbers...

57-18 record as a Bomber, 2 grey cup wins, 5 grey cup appearances. The greatest era in my entire lifetime. I’m going to reserve judgment until I see the numbers but if Zach wants to keep playing, and he’s willing to give up some money by us extending him now I would say this is perfectly fine, curious to see how our new OC uses him, with a healthy Schoen and a deeper (maybe not as top end talented) receiving core I’m hoping we can get a little bit of a bounce back year from Zach.

Reggie White has the best size and he's pushing 225 lbs which might make him the best blocker of the bunch if he's so inclined, most of the other receivers are sub 200 lbs..

Premature. Should have waited but understand Zach wanting to get it done.

This is.... Interesting. Would like to know the numbers on this. Better be a pay cut... Or we definitely need to see a return to form this year. I still believe in ZC8, but we need to see a better year this year...

meh best option we have but underwhelming

ly during the regular season the depth chart wasn't very accurate in terms of starters and backups especially on defence. For preaseason its even less so. They are listing Collaros as the starter, but if he gets more than 3 reps Id be surprised. This way its still up in the air who they are leaning to in game 1 to start reg season.

He hasn’t started the step up yet from what I’ve seen and heard. Which is very disappointing to me. He could still do it. The first pre season game is pretty much the latest time he can start really showing out. Mos seems pretty high on white too.

I'd be shocked if White Jr were to beat out Mitchell, especially with Mitchell's ability to return. Lot of people pooping on Dillon Mitchell right now because he is a little slow catching onto the playbook, but he is a very good receiver just a slow learner of our system. I feel he will get there in time for the season.

Barring pre-season injury, Im expecting our starting receivers will be: Wheatfall, White Jr, Demski, Schoen and Clercius. Dillon Mitchell will be (not so) surprised cut.

I don't think the location of their name on the depth chart indicates anything, they could play a different position.

So that is Myron Mitchell starting at SB and Dillon Mitchell is behind Wheatfall at boundary WR. I think we can expect Schoen to probably take that SB spot where Reggie White Jr is listed.

Nice to see Gassama in the lineup. Hope he shows well. Will be interesting to see the battle for that SB position between Mitchell and Reggie.

I'm worried that we have to face Glen Suitor's pre season choice for MODP, MOP and Grey Cup MOP tomorrow.

Hey @DTonOB - 2 hour pre game tomorrow? Stuck in AB, but looking forward to you, Eddie and Big Bird BS-ing about football for a couple hours. Thanks for all the hard work prepping it!

The Riders are bringing most of their starters as well.

Interesting seeing so many starters but at home you may as well give them some series. Defensively that looks like a pretty good team, on paper. Offense... TBD.

Edmonton Elks release Canadian DL Sam Acheampong, sign two others - 3DownNation

And we thought the trade deadline was a bad day.

he will just get moved more easily now...His only real use was sometimes getting in the way....now he can be washed away even easier if he is lighter...and define effective?...I dont see it, exactly my point last few seasons....if thats all he good for...and a stretch at that...use those reps...time and lesser salary developing a younger guy with upside and ability...why delay the process when everyone here can agree with...that JT is in no way shape or form the future...nor should be even considered as such his vison...Fav's of his will play be damned...

If Jake is best as a 10 rep rotational guy, is he worth keeping with a higher vet salary? Sounds like a job for a cheaper, younger player does it not?

Like I responded to Noeller, I'm not seeing it, but if the technical experts agree with your statement in bold after game tape review than I stand corrected.

What does it do for morale when vets are churned out like day old bread? You won't get buy in without loyalty being a two way street. Of course, I agree that it can't go over the top to either degree. I mean it's not like we haven't moved on from vets in our organization. I think it is ridiculous that people say the team never moves on when just this year we will not be seeing Bighill or Alexander for instance. But that doesn't match the narrative being driven on this forum so let's forget about all the vets we've moved on from in just the past couple years and focus solely on one player named Jake Thomas. SMH. What guys are we not keeping for our second contract that we would have loved to keep? Name one. I honestly can't believe how much the narrative around here is driven by Jake Thomas? Makes no sense whatsoever. Yea, he probably should be put out to pasture but it is complete nonsense to suggest that we are a team that never moves on from players. Adam Bighill and Brandon Alexander would disagree vehemently with that take. Also this narrative that our roster is too veteran heavy is also nonsense. Our starting 24 last year had the 3rd most amount of rookie/sophmore players in the entire league.
