I love the Kramdi hate lol Dude is a very savvy player, he’s got some ball-in-the-air issues that I have seen him improve on but overall I’m happy to have him Also, he’s nowhere near the 2nd highest paid DB in the league lol

The fun part of the off season is coming up in a month. It'll either sink our season or not depending upon a GM I no longer trust is capable of doing the job.

Agree. Though there is a very small list of guys i’d pay at db. Most notable pickett and especially beverette. Both are top tier guys who play the hardest spot, and really could play any spot you need. Both excel on D in a way that breaks positional balance. They both play as if they are 2 guys on the field at one time, in that they are top tier lber/front guys and both are top tier as dbs. They both gap cancel, get off blocks, and pass rush. They are exceptional disruptors where ever they line up and what ever depth they play at. Kramdi is not as good but very good in the box. but he’s on his best days half as good dropping back. If the market continues to go up, the 140/150k from last year for him wouldn’t be awful. Marginal over pay. Giving him 180k is just awful. I really don’t know how any one looks at his body of work last year and goes, he needs a 30-40k a year raise. Forget being the best at a position on the team, or among the best in the position group. Allen, Woodbey, Nichols, Griffin are in a different league that kramdi will never reach, and half of those guys are still rising. Then you have Holm and houston who are both better and execute roles that kramdi just can’t. At that point, kramdi isn’t a starter based on quality, he starts on passport. Which is legit a need in this league we all know. But when you start/play more canadians than you need, and under use ratio relief rules, that becomes waste. Holm and Nichols will be married to the dhb spots, Allen will be at S and Woodbey probably at wil reps. Maybe Griffin slides to corner to is the dime again. So it’s not like we are likely to lose any of those guys, but this is exactly the reason it took a silly amount of time to get allen and woodbey on the roster. Any rookie dbs will be in camp to fight for a try out spot mid season. How many bad deals does it take to sink a ship? This is how we did it the last couple years. Every time we seem to take a step forward to fixing the mistakes we’ve been repeating we take another step back.

It sucks but... **** happens. They were #1 in the whole league last year. They can't be THAT far off.

This is by far the worst year since we came back...ouch

Apparently Madani on Riders Sports Cage this week saying his hot take for 2026 is that the Bombers will be awful, will deal Collaros to Toronto and Chad Kelly will be off to Ottawa.... For what Madani's takes are worth.

Well time to go 41-1-0.

DBs, just like RBs, are a dime a dozen NAT or not. I have issue paying Kramdi or Oliveira NAT starter money BUT not ridiculously over what's been paid.

FWIW: After 40 games 2025/26 15-21-4 = 34pts 💩 2024/25 27-11-2 = 56pts 2023/24 27-9-4 = 58pts 🤡 2022/23 26-13-1 = 53pts 2021/22 17-16-7 = 41pts 2020/21 24-16-3 = 51pts 2019/20 22-15-3 = 47pts 2018/19 25-13-2 = 52pts 2017/18 23-11-6 = 52pts 2016/17 18-19-3 = 41pts 2015/16 19-19-2 = 40pts 2014/15 20-13-7 = 47pts 2013/14 17-18-5 = 39pts 2012/13 19-19-2 = 40pts 2011/12 19-16-5 = 43pts

Atleast ford can make game changing plays. And I don’t mean 5 years 4 sacks 1 pick 1 ff. Kramdi has had a solid knack to be in position to make tackles at the line, but misses on opportunities a lot too. Will have to see what the market is this year for dbs, but I can’t imagine it being almost 200k for average to solid canadian starters.

A stupid penalty by demelo and then by Stanley leads to two goals against. And our power play is completely inept.

This is the opposite of Shoresy. We may not win another game all year.

I just remember how bad this team was 15 years ago. We were just happy to have a team.

well on the plus side, we'd be a pretty good AHL team...wow is this bringing back memories of 1981. Yikes.

Good God this team sucks. They have five shots through 27 minutes of play. And most of the second has been in the Jets end. Can't clear pucks can't sustain any offense.

Nice shorthanded goal by the cap... But now This is the third straight penalty against the Jets.

Will this be the day we get our first win of 2026?

Yeah I generally dont take much of his posts as gospel..but he put out what I had heard so where there is smoke... I thought that too with the guarantee..but maybe it is just multi yr in general If the SMS is up its just a piddly amount as per the CBA...that extra last yr I dont see as an additional 400k again plus I think 50k for the cba agreement That being said...even so..that's poor allocation based on you dont need to blow your wad there..unless it was for one if the top SAM in the league...which hes not even close to...as he not top on our team

Walters...and Osh too by extension need to look at roster...positions..who may be available and who "should" be resigned and act accordingly to maximize roster..and knowing Cdn players can be at a premium for established as to where to pay the premium...The Kramdi deal is just dumb...can be played by a player for 100k less and played better...that's one of the cdn players they need to know when to move on from...BO..Demski..Lawson...guys like that you pay for..tho id like BO to have been less as they would be missed and are key parts...Kramdi is not..if he was gone we'd be no worse for wear and he would be an after thought and not missed But...now he is likely gonna be one our highest paid defenders...that's insane..more than Nichols who is way more valuable...and does Nichols bump..kramdis bs deal mean adios Holm...who both of should be making more...but won't be, thankfully as their combined hit if he is reupped will a huge anchor elsewhere...we need to know when and where to cut the chord

I hope Walters is taking notes while he being schooled by the other GMs

Normally a Hodge says would leave me skeptical. However, after seeing the other boat anchor contracts that he has handed out I can believe it. Either the SMS is going up a lot or Walters needs to lose his job. I will wait and see, and give benefit of the doubt for now, but i am very concerned if the SMS goes up slightly. I don't see any reason why Kramdi's salary would jump almost 50k over his last deal. I like the commitment to our NAT talent that he never showed for years but the contracts are absurd. I thought you could only guarantee money in the 3rd year of a contract?

That's a good contract for the Ti Cats.
