Dang $275 for Philpot and $315 for Hatcher.....the top tier receiver market is getting crazy... What the heck are the Riders going to do with all there FA receivers and some very good CDN receivers when put side by side Philpot......I can't see Emilus accepting less than Philpot, KeeSean Johnson has to be paid high as I think many other teams would be high on him and Meyers if he stays in the CFL again should command a high dollar....not even accounting for Bane jr and Robustelli, or fellow CDN's KSB, Tommy Neild and Mitch Picton.

too bad they need a defence lol

Elks spent like drunken sailors on defense last season and it didn't work out great for them. Lions taking a similar approach on offense

Does anyone know how the extra 400k this year factors into this? It appears some teams such as the Bombers utilized it to increase their depth making use of the one game injury to keep additional players on the roster, maybe others held back on more of it to allow them to sign players such as Hatcher and Philpot both of whom received significant bonuses which could be put towards this years sms..(which was smart btw) Originally there was talk of the cflpa trying to make sure the 400k was evenly distributed but lits just as likely as it goes to elite players

So $315,000 for Hatcher, Rourke is what $600,000 + and Betts makes big $ too. BC is going to run out of money.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/cfl/article/wr-keon-hatcher-signs-contract-extension-with-lions/ The B.C. Lions have signed star wide receiver Keon Hatcher Sr. to a contract extension through the 2027 season, the CFL club announced Wednesday. Financial terms were not disclosed, but a person with knowledge of the contract said it exceeded $645,000, with $630,000 guaranteed. Hatcher was slated to become a free agent in February.

Honestly, not a bad list. Thoughts? https://3downnation.com/2025/12/03/10-pending-free-agents-the-winnipeg-blue-bombers-should-bring-back/

well I don't know how big those "Skillet" cookies will be, I'm sure their cakes are good though

Where did you see terms for Hatcher? The drop from Demski to the next Cdn receiver on the roster is miles

I didn't expect Hatcher to make it to free agency. Good reup by BC. It would be nice for us to do something positive like that. For example, get a deal done with Demski.

WR Market is off to a Bonkers start. 25 year old Philpot who has played one full season (his rookie year) and had only one 100 yard game in the regular season (tho what a game) is the highest paid Canadian receiver. 31 year old Hatcher with an Achilles tear on his Injury record is the highest paid non-QB and his deal is almost entirely guaranteed

not on this team with this HC...nope....have to disagree with that...and not just with Eli situation

I'd be fine with him....I almost think if not for his not being able to be here at TC...it woulda been him....cause choosing Dimbass over him made and maked zero sense...Unless Osh is just as much a dumbass...and at times from what he does...jury is still out on that notion Jackson knows how to best utilize skill-sets of players too I think he'd play close to what he was with 15 to 20 snaps....all out in true DE attack mode...we dont need him as a knockdown guy...pressures...sacks....strip sacks...hurries would be a lot more of a net benefit to the overall defensive performance than knockdowns....who's to say those passes weren't gonna be completed...or even intercepted....but a sack...forced fumble...pressure into a forced throw for a pick.....is a quantitative positive and many a time...drive killer if not game changer

I don't worry much about D for Canadians. It's pretty easy to find guys that can fill roles to have 2-3 on the field. But holy **** is our offense depleted in general and especially for Canadians.

Willie is kind of a classic issue at the rush end position. His ceiling is so disruptive, but his every down play is terrible. The best he's ever been is a rotational guy which isn't a slight, it's just a fact of the skills and down to down compete level he has. If you can have him play 6/10 snaps on D, you'd be happy. And that's even in his prime. I don't really see a reason to bring him back at anywhere near his current salary. If he'd sign for like $115,000 and a ton of bonuses I'd consider it.

Adeboye extended as well...

When I used to work downtown I would get Cookies By George, those were always a hit. Those were "gourmet" cookies and considered expensive at $3.00 per cookie. Oh Doughnuts the same at around $4 per doughnut. This is double the price and it's only a cookie. Those cookies better be the size of a small pizza at those prices....

Well they also sell Dirty Sodas whatever those are I never really liked Dulce's anyway

Burrito Splendido moved out a few months ago, I believe they are moving to a larger location in the area. No idea on the address as of yet. Going on the Crumbl site... $6 -$8 per cookie!! I wish them luck but I can't imagine that place staying open for long. Several other bakeries/cupcake places have opened and closed recently in the area.

Why not Jarious Jackson?

I read on here about what the CFL / Bombers can do to grow the game locally. So we have a hometown superstar who plays his ass off and is the best player at this position and is Canadian in his prime. Our response... lets save a few little dollars and go American. It baffles me on why people would want BO out the door. Pay the man he's worth every dollar ten times over. It's like $100 000 is apparently a massive amount of money to save on. We have $600 000 wasted on the QB position that is not nearly worth that coin. How about we cut that guy or spend $100 000 less on an olineman that is American. Brady is one of a very few guys on this team that we must keep.

Just looking at CDN's...not $ Brady starting with Peterson/MCI backing up at RB is a great CDN and has great depth (1) Kramdi and one of Shay/Smith starting at LB/Dime/safety whatever alignment JY calls it is two really good CDN's but with some shallower depth, larger drop offs if the back-ups go in, maybe Kelly can take a bigger step??, but IMO really good pieces to get CDN's on the roster (2 and 3) Wallace at guard he made steps in the right direction I love his physicality, O-line parts are interchangeable in regards to depth but we need some better CDN O-line depth (4) Nuefeld, at guard, and not sure if he can but I as a fan love the idea of his experience moving to center???? has got past his injuries and his veteran presence is important and IMO still a very solid player (5) Demski at one Receiver spot, and a guy like Kian Shaffer Baker...who seems to be the odd guy out in Sask. with Clercuis and Corcoran as depth, and with certain sets Clercius additionally on the field gives an upgrade and solid rotation and depth (6,7 and even 8 ) That gives us 7/8 IMO really good CDN starters with depth fairly easily, add in Lawson with regular reps and we could field 8/9 on some sets, add another quality CDN O-lineman in FA or maybe Eli or Vibert could step in at C and we could roster 9/10.... My point is we have options, we could weigh out Brady's salary, we could go all American DL, we could go to a 3 American O-line, etc.....and we don't need a ton of pieces to make it happen. We do need to add CDN depth and IMO at least one top tier starter.....

I've been on the Eli bandwagon since the beginning but am starting to feel like this, too...
