people tell me the team needs to "get younger" and I'm like isn't he our DC already?

You need to keep your star players. Someone like Brady is needed to sell tickets. If he leaves they could lose as substtantial amount of STH's. Other teams have kept their marquis players. Walters has to figure it out.

How about this Eberhardt kid in BC .....The guy is like a vacuum cleaner ....just takes in everything thrown his way....might be a bargain there

Maybe someday we can strike out the "U" and put a "C" there?

Any thoughts on a guy like Kurleigh Kittens Jr. Pending FA, pretty good NI WR. Likely cheaper than Emilus or McInnis.

Not how it works at all. I agree you take Jake's money and reassign it. What you don't do is grossly overpay at any position. We could spend gobs of money on 12 guys and have 40 others on rookie contracts and win exactly zero games. The most successful teams since SMS started have been vigilant about not overpaying. If letting BO go allows us to sign 2 other premium NATs thats just smart GMing

Well, the reality is if you don't pay then you lose. If you were a GM you'd be fired in your third year (standard contract) as your team is losing. It's all about winning. And prioritizing whjo you sign. Taking the money designated for Jake Thomas & giving it to someone else in order to keep another..

Not a dinosaur at all...just good at math. It's an SMS world and it doesn't matter if the cap goes up. When a player is overpaid significantly it weakens the team.

Ha, ha. He'll like that. I respect 17to85's opinions.

oh don’t get me wrong i’m sure he’s a fantastic person but none of us here are good at everything, well except @17to85 if you asked him.

He does yell a lot but I know Jim personally. I met Jim when he was Stamps HC in 2003. We became friends, I used to get the inside scoops on the Stamps from him as long as I never told anyone which I never did. I never betrayed him. I felt priveliged I knew more than the beat writers covering the team. So, he'd tell me that the Stamps signed this guy or that guy. I knew the Stamps signed Jermaine Copeland a month before the Stamps announced it publicly. Jim is an excitable man. He is passionate about the CFL & it comes through with his booming voice & his excitement. He may not be everyone's cup of tea but he knows his stuff. I missed him on the panel this past season.

It’s his presentation style my friend. It’s not what he is saying, it’s how he’s saying it. Straight fire!

You guys are dinosaurs living in 2021. Salaries are going up & so is the cap. As a team, if you don't go along with it then you lose out. Every team will have to pay as they have marquis players they want to keep. There are players fans belleve don't deserve the $$$ they are asking for but will get it elsewhere.

I don't get the hate for Barker. He knows the CFL inside & out more than anyone on that panel except for LaPo. He's an insider like Barker.

You were doing pretty good until you got to the Barker part. His last name suits him.

I agree 100%. The limit in my mind is the same and I'd go so far as reducing what he got in 2025. He was $80K more than the next well paid RB.

Bierness is a terrible host. I wouldn't miss her at all if she was replaced. Henoc Muamba has grown on me. he speaks plainly & says what the fans think without getting too technical. He doesn't yell as much as he used to. Sanchez knows his stuff but he has no personality. Suitor needs to retire. I liked Barker. I don't know why they replaced him.

Maybe the Argos could also sign Henoc, Kate and Glenn to ‘consultant’ roles.

He hasn't been with TSN since 2024.

thank god we needed that

and who knows maybe he will toss away a ton of value on a bad trade to us again

Of note the second period... This was the first time in a while that the Jets actually won the middle frame. Two goals. Even shots. Perhaps a tide is turning?

Pearson scores on a breakaway. Lowry stopped on a penalty shot. Shots are more even this period. But Buffalo still dictating a lot of play.

Well we draw first blood... But man Jets look like they are in quicksand against Buffalo. Badly outshot and now going on the penalty kill for a second time. Outshot 14-6 and Buffalo scores on the pp.
