Ceresna would be a very nice add...Had a few nics last year but if he's shaken that off he definitely is the type we're looking to add....Robustelli would be an interesting addition....big bodied guy that dbs just hate to get in the way of ....he'd fit in nicely

I said the same thing about Chicago and they were a dead dawg

Ceresna would have to be considered the perfect fit for us. He can play inside and out and dominate. With our DC loving 3 man fronts that is exactly the guy we need.

Apparently I hear a player like JC will faciltate better and more focussed play from WJ. If true, a huge bonus to signing a Jake that doesn't end with Thomas. Go coach JT. 🙂

There is no logical way to conclude that he doesn't have a fist full of cash. That's not conjecture, that is math. Last year on the eve of FA, 400k increase was announced to the SMS. KW said he wouldn't use it because he wasn't sure if it was going to be for salaries or not. Only one notable player was added after that in Wilson half way thru the season. There had to be a large portion of that money sitting at the end of the year. Also, to back up my reasoning is that we signed all our big signings just about before December 31, the deadline for 2025 SMS. Not even going to factor in the 100k we saved on Schoen, and a huge run of 6 games injures at the beginning of the season. Wouldn't surprise me if we weren't even at the SMS floor by the end of the season. I think that not only did KW sign a bunch after the season but pre-December 31st, but he had to in order to be SMS compliant.

IMO you only really break the bank (overpay) for certain guys... assuming he's still in top form... Ceresna would be one of those guys Ceresna, cheap receiver, OL would be my free agency wishes... fill the rest of the roster with recruits and Canadians.

So much speculation and conjecture... Nobody knows anything. One of the only things we DO know is that Walters said we would be aggressive in FA this year, which tells me he knows he has some money to play with.

If we wanted Woli we wouldn't have passed on him last year. This is exactly why KW needs to be his checks and balance. MOS can get his players to run thru brick walls for him, but he needs a GM that can be his counterbalance because MOS will also do the same for them when business should dictate otherwise. Having KW act at his whim is not good. The best teams we've had are when KW and MOS fought tooth and nail over some players. That has to return.

We should. Kyle didn't spend to the SMS last year for sure based on him saying the 400k was not spendable, so a bunch of those contracts should have hefty portions paid on last year's SMS. We had no big contracts signed at any point last year after the 400k was announced.

Awesome get. Love his fit here, still need a downfield possession guy with size. Plus dl and ol of course.

Don't care, pay the fine, make it happen. 🙂 ZC at safety would look outstanding.

I hear we can only roster 12 dudes who will all play offense, defense and STs.

Great test today. Because of the authority I have over this team, I am making this game a defining moment in the direction we take this year. If we can beat this big dawg with authority, making the playoffs is a priority If we beat this big dawg in a close match I'd say see above but with tempered enthusiam If we lose to this big dawg in a close match ffs what do we do with this keep the tease and uncertainity going If we lose to this big dawg with authority, close up shop, call up the senior mens beer league bottom dwellers and call it a day

no. In fact they're going to only play with 9 guys on the field because they can't afford to pay anyone else.

Do we have much cash left after signing huge contracts to Demski, BO and White to sign Jake if we could?

What is that? Can we eat it?

Do you hear something?

A $200,000 a year offer to promote Booster Juice+Pinacle Staffing Solutions + a Bomber contract sounds right for Ceresna.

Being in the fantastic mood that I'm in right now, squeaking into the playoffs losing in the first or second round yet again will give Chevy a continued hiding place around expectations and scrutiny of his role knowing he is just one piece of the puzzle but does sit quite high on the hiearchy of accountability. So either win the Stanley Cup this year or start the retool proces tout suite.

Go get him Kyle!

Would be a massive get for us. Sounds like Edmonton wants to allocate his money elsewhere, or may have already.

Does he want to leave Edmonton? He took less money than offered elsewhere to go back there a couple years ago. I know his wife works in healthcare out there and family was one of the reasons he went back. **nevermind - looks like he is willing to move. He's still hoping to work something out in Edmonton but will go to whatever team wants him. ** Jake Ceresna healthy after injury-plagued season, ready for CFL free agency - 3DownNation

Ceresna is straight up nasty. If we’re going to continue the rush 3/4 at the quarterback we need some big boys that are going to get through the interior quick. Ceresna is that guy. Par him with Lawson and all of a sudden I think you’ll see more opportunities from our ends.
