Lil different free money post. Questrade will give you $250 back if you invest $1000 with them for a year. https://forums.redflagdeals.com/qtrade-get-250-cash-back-when-you-invest-minimum-1-000-c-up-5-000-new-clients-only-2797592/

Cue the music from Deliverence.

First of all Riderfans wouldn't know what tampering means and second of all if you're not related to any of them biologically you're safe in what they would want to do with you.

don't need to pull a Reinebold. our 1996 team was clearly not good enough, but absolutely gutting the roster turned out to be ... not a great move in 1997.

Exactly what I was thinking. Shaving around the edges then buffering it with upgrades.

related: I'm committed to exploring the open market but there is no truth to the reports that Riderfans has been tampering with me.

That looks like a pretty solid move.

You don't think they can win with Holm and Nichols at HB?

They have...by subtraction.

Apparently Jovon Johnson hired as position coach for the Argos... From 3DN: "The Toronto Argonauts are set to hire former CFL standout Jovon Johnson as the team’s defensive backs coach, per sources. The 42-year-old has spent the last six years coaching at the high school and collegiate levels in the United States, most recently as the special teams coordinator and defensive backs coach at Gannon University."

Is now a bad time to mention that with my new deal, I am now among the highest paid posters on MBB?

To me the issue is once again we are spending all this money to retain players on a team that wasnt good enough last year We need to improve our core

He is correct about that based upon how he’s mismanaged player evaluation/value for quite some time now, he should put his head down 😠.

I mean, I am only surprised we didn't lock him in before the year-end and use up cap space from last year. It's a wild time. I think teams are going to over spend projections before free agency starts, making it more affordable and competitive. It's crazy how we went from a team that didn't pay DBs, to having one of the most expensive secondaries in the league. (We were pretty high on that list last year too) QFT

Chevy: “When I woke up this morning, for me, the choice is put your head down and find a way to keep pushing this team to get better". Being a bit ornery with our team's current predicament and based on what KC has done to date to course correct this predicament that he calls it, other than his pep talks and calls for accountability, what else has he come up with by putting his head down?

Cause they were very bad people 😉

I can’t believe he’s lasted in the league this long.

I’d bring Gus up and sit Namestnikov. He has been brutal. When was the last time he got a damn point? Isn’t he still at 8? And playing on the 2nd line for most of the season?? How is that acceptable? I know Gus isn’t an offensive force, but he’s leading the Moose in points ( not overly impressive, I know), he’s defensively sound and has usually been solid in face offs. I’d also be fine with Yager or Chibrikov being called up…. Zhilkin just seems like a lateral move at best.

Just yanking your chain. It's a service I provide. 🙂

Average league salary is pushing $130,000 with current cap number and the rookies still make under $90,000....significantly less for American rookies. These numbers aren't outlandish. Teams are ready to pay $250,000+ for decent Canadian OL and starters now. The "highest paid" whatever headlines today are kind of laughable considering 45% of the league are free agents. That's going to change by February.

I don’t think this should be a surprise. If you lock up any young All star player, prior to free agency you already know they’re going to be getting compensated by choosing not to make it to free agency.

He’s spent it already.

Why would they? This is the era of specialists.

Walters better not say he has no money to sign quality CFL free agents.
