An Ambrosie clone at HO told him no. So he listened.

Now this is creative. This and similar things approaches are needed for this league. The commish and his team should be leading the charge on CREATIVITY. (Sorry I had to shout that last word for the people way in the back).

Even Rourke came to his senses. There's a lot of things I hoped Johnson would have fixed when he got in. Ruke changes weren't one of them. But the rookie cap & the coaches/admin cap were the two biggies for me. Some league suits hired by his predecessor convinced him standing pat was one of them.

Oh thats easy, its every canadian wr the riders have/bring in LOL 4 catches though, Schoen, Peterson, Cooley all had much better pre seasons catching the ball. White too. 2 rbs, and 1 guy with 1 good leg. if it was 20-25 years ago I would be too. But the game has changed significantly

I always overcomplicate solutions like this, but here is what I would do. If a draft pick get an NFL camp invite or NFL combine invite, they are automatically qualified for "Super rookie" status. The salary range for them then goes up to say 90-120k. 2 years of CFL rights, with the NFL window still after year 1. Any player who makes an NFL PR or AR is treated like any veteran FA, but with exclusive rights held by the drafting team.

tookie deals should have a range ...a minimum salary and a max for yr one at say 150K can increase by 10k per yr for first deal It be up to the teams as to how and who gets the higher amount

he was horrible in the blocking and run aspect of his role tho...also did nothing after the catch...and really scared nobody...If we going 3 Nats he cant be one of them...We'd be better off using MCI as a fulltime FB/TE type guy.....and actually I wish we do....He'd offer wayyyyyy more and would have to garner attention...Corcoran would garner as much as one of the posters here out there running routes...I bet there are some faster This just another case of Osh and Walter's by extension trying to make some marginal player they love to be something....Like Fetch.....hahaha.....he is now known as Fetch he scares nobody and garners even less attention out there...as after the catch he does absolutely nothing....I'm sure he tries hard...guys like him...the usual drivel we fed but at this level and as a pro on a roster you should be trying hard, and relatively liked...or why the **** u even here??

Corcoran as your depth, 5th or 6th NI receiver is ok but as a starter no. @Noeller , go back and look at the pre season game box scores, he didn't do much in either. He just seems to be another guy that works hard with lesser talent that Osh fixates on.

You know what if Corcoran is a modern Jamie Stoddard I'm fine with that.

Corcoran was a rookie so you know gotta take that into account. Wasn’t great, wasn’t as bad as people pretending. Dude was a rookie in a hogan O. Think he deserves a shot at camp. I mean. Do ppl expect the backups to be superstars also? Like jets fans thinking all the moose guys aren’t just nhl depth? lol. I mean. Demski Clercius nield Corcoran Cobb likely drafted receiver here ain’t that bad. Could be the best Canadian receiving group in the league. Corcoran isn’t terrible depth. If he’s starting over Kevens it’s crazy but he’s not terrible depth.

In pre season last year all Corcoran did was make play after play... Saw him making catches everytime he was targeted. I had very high hopes for him, and he just didn't produce in the regular season. Hoping year 2 he progresses.

Yeah that we started Corcoran shead pf Clercius in grey cup was maddening. When we signed Nield I thought wed fixed our Canadian depth issue, but if were having Corcoran on the game day roster then not so much

Corcoran's college numbers weren't amazing and it was lower level NCAA D1.

The only real issue with the rookie deals is the inflexibility with incentives. This league has no money so they need to have some controls. Sask and Edmonton really broke everything when they were trying to be at the top of the heap. There’s 4 franchises who have never been able to break even on football operations in your lifetime. And another 2 who have only been able to tread water at best. So I’m not sure where people think money will be coming from to fund teams spending more on operations. It’s not going to come from player salaries.

Outside of the usual WR suspects who are still avialable on the free agent list where's that WR out there that we could get right now insert him into our lineup plug play nicely ends with him accepting his rookie of the year trophy? I assume this is way to high of an expectation to have but hey one can dream as the saying goes.

They should meet in the middle somewhere, not every CFL rookie falls into that category so it you might not need to scrap or adjust the cap entirely - just allow a bit of wiggle room for these higher level guys. Maybe allow each team 1 rookie cap exception or something so we don't have those guys sitting out rather than playing.

We need to draft a wr this year, who is actually a primary pass catcher with potential to start and be average or better. Cobb is at least average for a backup WR. With some attributes. Its insane that they put Corcoran above cobb and on par or better than clercius.

It's not a shot. I am hoping he develops into something more, but he's not there now. We need to add some proven NAT receiver depth.

It was a very curious decision to put that in place given we were just starting to see a vast talent drain after the NFL's PR expansion.

100% but again...he has produced when needed. I think they can and should find a more adequate depth piece....but Corcoran is taking unnecessary shots

It was because of a #1 pick (an OL I think). He ended up getting signed for a ridiculous amount before he did anything. The CFLPA basically said teams are signing these huge contracts for a guy who hasn't done anything only because he's a high canadian pick. While other stars aren't being compensated to the same degree even though they are legit stars for the league/team. And I can see their point. But...it's back fired now. Because whatever the cap is now is so low that for a guy that's on the edge of being on an NFL roster/pr, it just doesn't make financial sense to sign with the CFL until he's sure he's got no chance. And as we are seeing, that can take years.

I'm not against the guy, I just have not seen him offer much of anything when he is in the lineup. Would love to know what they see in him. Not saying there isn't something there it's just not obvious. Sure. But if we are going 3 NAT receivers then he should not be front line depth. It is essential that we have a guy who can produce if that is our plan. Just a body is not good enough. No different that Jake Thomas the past few years, if we had kept him down to 8-10 snaps a game no one would be complaining but he got thrust into a starting role and became a glaring weak spot for us. Are you comfortable with Corcoran coming off the bench to be a potential starter if any of our 3 starting NATs go down. I'm not.

Listen I'm no fan of Corcoran. But he did everything asked of him last year. He caught basically everything that was catchable. He's not going to be a star WR, but he's more than adequate as a back up.
