100% agree that deal screwed the market big time.

I would say they stand out because they're not out standinding. Koaaala, You missed rebusrankin's point entirely. All he's saying is the Als are paying top dollar for Tyson Philpott who is a receiver who never stays healthy & is on the IR list for a big chunk of games every season. Maybe he's thrown to 5 or 6 times a game on average yet he's the highest paid Canadian receiver in the CFL who has never been a thousand yard receiver. Oliveira is a stud running back with over 5000 career rushing yards who has also spent time on the IR but he has proven his worth 10 times over as he handles the ball 10-20 times a game. That's what ol' Reebus is talking about. Doesn't matter if you're talking receiver or running back. It's the overall worth of a player to his team.

The market is adjusting. You amateur GMs who think you know the way the money is doled out really know nothing. Although you think you do. I think half you guys are still living in 2019 pre pandemic. when the salary cap was at $5 million. That receivers & running backs should only be paid $100,000 a year. Defensive Ends $80-90,000 etc. We don't know what the market is for older free agents like Jefferson or Gauthier yet until they hit the street running with their agents checking out offers from other teams. We also don't know what the new salary cap will be. However, I think with the deals being handed out to Philpott, Alexander, Oliveira, Hatcher & the majority of players eligible to switch teams in February as free agents with their contracts expired, I believe we may have another off season where the cap rises significantly. Until all these things fall into place, the angst some of you show about overpaying players may be unnecessary.

Hanging onto aging vets kills our game day roster, bad contracts kill our overall roster. SMS mismanagement will kill a team faster than anything. Gauthier, Hallett, did zero damage to our roster. Do they need to be replaced? Yea probably but they were STs toiling at near league mins. The only time they impacted us negatively was when we were forced to start them. Jefferson at 200k is another huge overpay. Good teams can't overpay like this. We have a million dollars standing in two spots behind centre, that is not good SMS management.

I did not know Tyson Philpot was a RB. You are comparing apples to oranges. Might as well have said that Rourke makes 800k so BO's contract is a bargain.

Some .might say that Jake and koala are just out standing there doing nothing...

Brady and Demski are our only Canadians who are outstanding.

If Brady was a free agent, BC would have thrown a Brink's truck at Oliveira. We have no succession plan at qb. We're flying by the seat of our pants on that one. Brady is in his prime at 28. there is no one on our roster that is ready to step up as a starter like Oliveira did when Harris left.

I'd have been happy to find out. No CFL RB is worth the money we're paying Brady especially after overpaying Collaros.

Helle gave them more of a chance than they deserved.... Lucky to get a point out of that.

Ffs. Can't have two wins in a row can we.

Points in two straight for the Jets... Can we make it two wins in a row? Baby steps

Welcome to the new CFL. imagine what he would have got if he was a FA & the Lions & Ti Cats got into a bidding war?

They finally woke up. Good to see some life in them.

Logan Laine!! What a great release on that shot!

We’ve been spoiled at RB for almost a decade and played really 2 guys Harris and Brady. Deactivate Hogans access card now, forget about last year and let Brady eat.

This is such sloppy hockey by the Jets nine f****** shots on net. Turnover Central. Left a guy wide open in the slot for the first goal of the game.

I only list Oliveira, Demski and Castillo as my must have. Bryant and Jefferson on a discounted price, maybe.

no score after 1 I'll take it

Tyson Philpot who has never had a 1000 yard season and who has missed 5, 9 and 6 games over the past three seasons got $275,000. Brady was not getting less.

It's a **** load of money and probably way too much for a running back.... however... how do you not do what it takes to bring that guy back? The marketability alone makes him valuable to the club. Just gotta make the rest of the roster work around that.

I love the signing but not at that insane money. Man, we better be pairing him with a damn good OC because hes got an enormous contract to live up to.

Ottawa is pressing the Jets every chance they get and they cannot get out of their zone. Got to play a little more physical. PK time

Actually, not an unreasonable assumption.
