For my money, that would be the most valuable canadian. That’s why I think we should be developing guys like wallace with the mobility at rt first, and kick them inside if it doesn’t work out. Yeah a lot of heavy pay days to canadians end up being bad deals. Milt was pushing fringe starting qb money. So in today’s game, i’d bet he’d want 330-400k. Blink would be hard to price. Imo, the top pay for a rb should be incentive based, pay some thing like 165k base, and chance to go up to 195-205k. Sure, pay premium for the mop campaigns. If you go over on the back end deal with it. Free agency is one of the few chances to add significant talent now. We don’t see major nfl free agent upgrades more than once every few years any more. That’s what wasting cap space really does. Make you miss out on the only chance to retool. Except every game brady and harris before him, missed, our run game didn’t miss a beat. Half the league has a high end rb as we saw this year.

It has become apparent that by retaining Walters that Miller may be our biggest problem football operations wise.

Like I said, a couple ratio breakers across the league, almost none by that kind of margin. Smith made 270k, not 305. But i also said “How did Robbie smith do?” Ford didn’t just sign an extension. He signed a 3 year deal last off season. Our secondary pay scale has gone to pure crap. Crazy for a team that refused to pay dbs for so long. Ol is the hall mark cfl starting position. Db/s and 1 wr are others. Demski wasn’t actually in the top 5, due to whites bonuses. 4 out of the top 5 wrs are ni. But demski is making a big chunk to much. Gittens, ford and smith are classic examples of why it’s a bad idea to give gigantic over pays because of the passport. Rourkes deal is only workable because the lions put so much cheat money into his deal, and he plays qb. Even at that the list of teams who’ve screwed them self with qb deals like that is way longer than the ones it’s worked out for. wooooow. That’s a possible huge power shift if he does. Bet they give powell a good deal and then go premium at back up. Maybe get in on the peat with my favorite to land him, edmonton.

dressler and smith had drastically better wheels. average size, excellent athleticism, track guy, tough kid too. Solid prospect.

Go who cares but it might as well be the Als.

They didn’t release the details of the extension, but it sounded like the pay mirrored his last deal. Which had 250,000 in guaranteed money plus another 100,000 off season bonus. There is also a ton of rules around vets and guarantees on contracts. It’s not like it used to be when you could cut any one and instantly drop salary.

Vive Les Alouettes! A sound drubbing by the Als is what we need to rid this city of the cockroach infestation. Gillingham needs to call Poulins on Monday to just fog the whole city.

BLM is talking about retiring - he's not sure if he'll be back next year so not sure if that's a real option. https://3downnation.com/2025/11/08/bo-levi-mitchells-future-unclear-after-hamilton-tiger-cats-lose-east-final/

I never said any term...but that seems par for the course tho and likely

3 more years of this according to speed @Booch time to I dunno but 3 years.

I just meant he's not under contract right now.

Flip Dixon. Man. That’s a football name. Bryce is the name of busts tho. Is Bryce Young on our neg list also?

What stars other than BO? We pay inadequate...never were great..and long in tooth guys more than most teams...that's our issue We really don't have any more real stars here...or difference makers...especially on defence In all honesty...Joe pop would be decent...but not the player he was then tho Milt and Blink...they'd get the cheddar I can see psrt of your argument...but like osh...u look backwards Winning seasons that result in continued stupid failures when it matters...over and over...who reups that? And we been in regression too...each yr And winning...what we won of late?

Yeah. 250 For RB Is ridiculous. To be honest he should be taking the pay cut. I think 200 with the promo bonus money then thrown in is more than fair. Dude lives here. He can pay a house off in 2 years if he wanted. He’s good. Take the hometown discount you prick. lol

I love Brady and the fact that he’s a Winnipegger but his salary is a luxury at the leagues most replaceable position. I said it in 24 when he earned the contract, I’ll say it again now: if I was building a roster RB is not the position I’d blow my wad on. There are guys out there who can do what he does .. who don’t HAVE to do what he does .. and could (more than adequately) fill the role while allowing us to address other areas of the roster.

Yup, came out a few days ago. It's already on the CFL transactions page so it's official - his signing & Flip Dixon's.

Schenn Stanley is pretty much what the entire team is outside of Line 1. Old and slow. It’s a problem. connor Scheifele Vilardi the rest need work. JT isn’t a 2 C anymore. Would make a good 3 C tho. Current 4th line garbage. Barron Lowry Iafallo much better when all healthy. Don’t need to play them 6 minutes. Play them as the shutdown line. nino names Chibrikov or maybe Perfetti on the 2nd line. Chib has shown potential tho when played with names more so but yeah. Nino struggling with Lowry tho. Big time. I mean. Ehlers names Perfetti right last year so why not just find the LW to play with those 2 in the top 6.

Zach doesnt have guaranteed money for 2026. He could be cut tomorrow and be owed nothing.

How much is BlM making in Hamilton. he’s a free agent isn’t he? would you give him a 1 year deal if Zach decides to hang them up.

They are signing a receiver named Bryce Kirtz, it will be official after the Grey Cup.

Can I say that I would prefer tsn go with the grey cup panel all season long? Not sure who the one dude is but Wilson Lapo Nielsen and that dude is much better. And you know what, Zach bro, no more head shots, you sound good. Retire, take the guaranteed cash, unlike Durant it’s ok with me. And do this full time.

Might aswell start the thread now. 24 hours before kick-off. Go Als.

ALs players were chilling at my work a bit last night. Didn’t recognize any honestly but Very friendly and find myself cheering for them now. Have seen people in green but honestly not as many as I thought. I did laugh when I saw 2 old men eating and drinking together. One wearing an als jersey the other a riders jersey and jacket. That’s the CFL. CFL needs to promote how fan friendly the players are tho. And how they just are the average person compared to other sports. I’ve met jets players, they have come in also and honestly it’s kinda circus like at times, and they have this aura that they better than you and you know it. CFL players blend in. Humble. Normal. Down to earth. Your equal. Ace Burpee and Dave Wheeler are also bigger assholes than cfl players. Wheeler is brutal. I got some stories about him and weddings and wedding socials. Dude thinks he’s a huge star. It’s insane. Thinks he’s the biggest Winnipeg celebrity. He was nice to me tho I will admit. But just stories.

Starting Cdns are amongst the highest paid Dline Robbie SMith at 305k (tell me that isnt a bigger overpay than Olivera), then next is Betts Dback - 3 of the top 4 highest paid are cdns - Ford (and he was just reupped at 230k), Dequoy, and Campbell (How is Kramdl the highest paid db on our team btw = other than because hes cdn) Oline top 3 salaries are cdn Hunter, Ferland Korte Recievers McInnis is the 2nd highest Demski 4th, and tell me how Gittens jr isnt a massive overpay at 210k. Just wait til mtrl's Philpot hits free agency this upcoming year. the highest paid rb as you mentioned Brady is in a class by himself and at qb another cdn Roarke.
