Im not willing to go a dollar over 250k for BO, and that is stupid money, but he's a home town guy. Honestly, I don't like mega contracts for RBs in the CFL. It's not a running league. The ONLY time a RB should be compensated like that is if you have a young QB just starting out, or you have a QB like Chris Streveler that is weak in the passing game. My objection to BO's contract with us is that it makes the two men standing behind centre too expensive. If we had a 350-400k QB....great let's do it.....but with a 600k QB you just can't make your behind centre tandem 900k of your cap.

He talks about it again this year with his newest contract. Trevor Harris had no desire to become top-three paid CFL QB with Saskatchewan Roughriders extension - 3DownNation

100%. This is the best contract situation he's been in in ages, and very, very likely his last ever contract. But I don't think he will end up with a stupid deal. This whole off-season is gonna end up like the wild west anyway. Montreal is maybe the most frugal of the successful teams today, and they just spent like drunk sailors. I think every premium FA that hits the market is going to get silly money, and every team will likely have a none qb earning nonesensical money. I don't know why I ever thought teams would do anything different with the cap increase. It's the CFL, of course, they are going to spend like drunk sailors on leave. Previously, I thought Brady should be under 220k-ish. Maybe a bit of incentive money on top of that. I'm starting to think that line should be around 235-245k, maybe 250k. Still much more than I'd like to pay for an RB, even if he ends up being the best Canadian back ever (and I think he will.) But I think the market for guys like that is going to jump. If Philpot, etc, reset the market with the increased cap, someone may well offer Brady 280-320k. If he hits free agency, I don't think he will be back. Really makes me curious to what guys like demski, kramdi and allen will get.

Last year he had the Kevin Glenn label to shake off. This year no such luck for the Riders methinks.

I’m thinking if the top of that helmet struck the player instead it would be a big yikes.

I agree that Nino looks old and slow most nights, but he is far and away the top ‘secondary’ scorer with 15 points, so at least he’s managing to produce. Stanley has more points than Namestnikov and he’s tied with Toews. Let that marinade for a bit.

He took less last year and talked about taking less so they could afford others.

For the small sample size I've seen of JT's play, how patient will they be with him? Sort of an awkward scenario may be brewing if his play isn't where management was hoping it to be at this stage of the season especially in how he was sentimentally hyped this year.

Yea, imagine if our first line falls apart due to injury, fatigue, slumps etc. Yikes.

Stability, connections to Chris Streveler, Mike O'Shea led QB Bryce Perkins to choose CFL over UFL - 3DownNation

Having just won a ring, I kind of doubt he's giving the team handouts. Idr, has he ever renegotiated to a smaller deal? I don't feel like he has, or has taken a team-friendly deal when in a good position him self. That said, I think his deal is gonna be good value no matter what. With guys setting the pace for contracts right now, and with how this off-season has already started, $550k for Harris would be tremendous for them.

eh I'd rather it be them than Paramount Skydance https://deadline.com/2025/12/netflix-warner-bros-discovery-deal-official-1236637290/

I couldn't remember if it was Mason Rudolph or Garrett who swung the helmet.

Garrett would be in prison for manslaughter if the helmet had connected on that swing.

Remember the game when Pittsburgh Steelers QB allegedly made a racial slur at Myles Garrett in 2019? Garrett went off on him & a brawl ensued with Garrett being suspended. I don't thnk Rudolph was suspended or fined.

He deserves it. He had a great season. Finally got the choke collar off him. He actually can stay healthy & win the last game he plays. The Riders wanted him back so I'm sure they paid. Dollah, dollah bills, y'all. I'll say one thing, the Riders have nuthin' behind him as starting material. Just like us. We have nuthin' behind Collaros. Piss poor planning by the Canadian Mafia. As much as I think Dru Brown plays like a pot head with no emotion or excitement, he'd still be a better option than what we have now.

Nope. Not at all.

I’m guessing Harris decided not to retire cuz they gave him Zach money.

And the difference in TOI is not sustainable.

I’m just saying maybe if Willie played with better tackles he’d be more motivated also tho. I mean. Ya. Garrett is like generational
