Boreanz Rockford character will probably be sipping wine, driving an EV & living in a luxury condo in Santa Monica.

The number doesn't shock me. He's made that his whole career, like you say. I think Walters, and I agree with him, got sick of paying that premium for a guy who was only available for half of every season and still left at every opportunity. I am always in favour of athletes with short careers taking the money where they can, but Lawler is a guy we stuck by when he got in trouble and didn't attempt to nickel and dime him over his injury history and he still bailed multiple times. Good riddance.

I was surprised we brought him back to camp this year as well. I did not expect him to make the team. And his snaps in camp probably told him the same.

Stick to hockey.

I don't pick the teams but it seemed to me like Wilson was more the 'oh **** we should probably carry a second guy with pro 3-down experience on the roster' guy. Elgersma has the size teams seem to be looking at for a short yardage guy, and Perkins won the UFL MVP with his legs. I don't recall him really standing out in the role, other than that one big run he broke against the Riders in the playoffs.

Not at that price.

Didn't not see Vegas sweeping Colorado but they did. Say what you will about Tortorella but he has them dialed in right now. What a crazy couple of months for them.

Colorado has 15 shots in an elimination game with 8 minutes left. 1 0 Vegas. They are really bad if MacKinnon isn’t 100 percent. Wow.

Terry screwed his career likely. He prob could have been that 3rd and inches guy but dude quit cuz he wasn’t handed the backup job. Thats not good. I mean if he did anything to earn it I’d understand but he sucked. When you have more confidence in starting a pretty much broken Streveler who didn’t even throw 10 passes one game over you? Yeah don’t think you got a future as a starter. Personally didn’t think they would bring him back this year. Was kinda surprised when they did bring him back

Based on Terry Wilson's tape... Would you sign him over someone you've had on your neg list for awhile and you have high hopes for? And then walked out in his team the day before a game?

Ya but you got a guy who will quit when he’s passed on the depth chart. Most QBs can do sneaks also. I don’t think you bring a guy in just cuz he can sneak a ball. That’s riders crazy. Terry couldn’t throw a ball 10 yards. In the cfl if you can’t throw you’re not gonna be a starter. I think you bring In QBs who have potential to start not guys who ceiling is sneaking the ball on 3rd and inches.

It would be great if Lawler were still on the team but I don't think he signs a million dollar contract this year if he had Collaros, Streveler, and Wilson throwing him the ball last year

ahhh include #31 Rick House into the tier 2 grouping. Him and Joe Pop were a great duo. I’d probably add Eugene Goodlow as well into the mix.

I wouldn't. QB depth is pretty thin around the league

Bombers drop Wilson from the suspended list, making him a FA. I'd be shocked if he gets picked up by another CFL.

It is a lot, but % of SMS it's about the equivalent of the 275k we paid him. The 333k number shocks us all but we all need to remember the massive SMS jumps last year and again this year. I dont think we, as fans, are used to the new SMS reality now.

Except that's not true. Lawler left money on the table to come back to us. He and his 1500 yds receiving yards last year kind of make an actual fact counter to your opinion. Kenny is the best and most impactful receiver in the CFL. That is a fact. Everything you are saying is either speculation or opinion. Would I have paid him 333k last year..nope. This year, with the big SMS jump, yep. He is a guy that instantly makes any offence far more harder to defend.

Tier 1-Milt Tier 2-James Murphy and Joe Popp

It's so funny but I had the exact same comp in mind... AB3... Not in terms of their abilities, but in terms of "tiers" of receivers... That's exactly who is out Kenny with.

I doubt it. I mean. I’m sure it will play a role but I don’t think dudes necessarily make teams based just on a pre season game or 2. I think coaches generally have a good idea going into game 2 who is and isn’t making it and I think the game either confirms their original thoughts or maybe makes them think a bit but in the end if dude sucks all week at practice but goes off game time well, that’s a decision isn’t it. Just seems from a fan perspective game 2 is more starters get the first half then its guys who will make the team playing with lots of guys who won’t and then finally in the 4th it’s those guys that prob stood out the most that you want another look at but by then your opponent is playing their cuts also. Logically tho the Canadian QB who has never played a pro game before except nfl pre season is likely gonna need some time to develop over a guy who was league mvp of the UFL recently but I mean until or if Zach gets hurt, who is QB 2 and 3 don’t matter cuz it’s Zach Taylor and BP regardless like those are the 3 QBs and until Zach gets hurt it don’t matter who 2 or 3 is The RB last year was the pre season star. Cut weeks later now working for the man.

Thing is when talking bomber receivers you need to bring up Milton cuz he is the true gold standard on and off the field. Kenny maybe more in the Arland Bruce III group tho. A tier below Milton. So who is in that group? Geroy? Not as a bomber. Robert Gordon? Possibly. I mean. I dunno. Schoen probably ranks higher than Kenny as Schoen was the man from game 2 or 3 on. Where would Kenny rank I wonder.

He's the league's best ever and it's not close... I don't even like discussing his name among other receivers because it makes no sense.

I don’t disagree about Ayers but in the bombers view it appears versatility and special teams play is important. Could be a stud LB tho so if I’m being serious about change it’s Kyrie or Tony who I’m sitting. 6 game Tony and give Ayers and Shay chances in the middle. Why not. Tony isn’t Bighill. What does JY value really. Extra DL? Extra LB. Or maybe guys who are tweener types who maybe aren’t the best at one thing but pretty good at something else like Ayers cuz dude is the sp teams demon, maybe that is more valued to the coaches than a guy who maybe isn’t the sp teams dynamo but for 3 or 4 snaps a game, I mean honestly outside of Dixon and Jenkins, nobody really stood out on the d line. Reese did but he’s prob the ideal pr guy. None of the extra DT did.

Pretty much is tho. Bombers didn’t want to pay him as much as Hamilton did. Here’s reality. The bombers could have offered 300,000 dollars per. Hamilton would offer 301,000. Lawler takes the 301. That’s the guy he is. He’s a great player for 1/3 of the season. He’s just not for the other 2/3rds. The spectacular catches don’t happen every game. But good for him. Wonder how much is guaranteed cuz almost 400 on a 34 yr old in 3 years might not age well.

I’m not a Habs fan at all but looked like they were the team to beat. Not anymore. Things change quickly. I don’t care who wins at all. Jets gone means no horse in race. Montreal was looking unstoppable. Like a team of destiny. Didn’t know MacKinnon was hurt and didn’t know Colorado is non playoff team bad without him.
