Not how it works at all. I agree you take Jake's money and reassign it. What you don't do is grossly overpay at any position.

Well, the reality is if you don't pay then you lose. If you were a GM you'd be fired in your third year (standard contract) as your team is losing. It's all about winning. And prioritizing whjo you sign. Taking the money designated for Jake Thomas & giving it to someone else in order to keep another..

Not a dinosaur at all...just good at math. It's an SMS world and it doesn't matter if the cap goes up. When a player is overpaid significantly it weakens the team.

Ha, ha. He'll like that. I respect 17to85's opinions.

oh don’t get me wrong i’m sure he’s a fantastic person but none of us here are good at everything, well except @17to85 if you asked him.

He does yell a lot but I know Jim personally. I met Jim when he was Stamps HC in 2003. We became friends, I used to get the inside scoops on the Stamps from him as long as I never told anyone which I never did. I never betrayed him. I felt priveliged I knew more than the beat writers covering the team. So, he'd tell me that the Stamps signed this guy or that guy. I knew the Stamps signed Jermaine Copeland a month before the Stamps announced it publicly. Jim is an excitable man. He is passionate about the CFL & it comes through with his booming voice & his excitement. He may not be everyone's cup of tea but he knows his stuff. I missed him on the panel this past season.

It’s his presentation style my friend. It’s not what he is saying, it’s how he’s saying it. Straight fire!

You guys are dinosaurs living in 2021. Salaries are going up & so is the cap. As a team, if you don't go along with it then you lose out. Every team will have to pay as they have marquis players they want to keep. There are players fans belleve don't deserve the $$$ they are asking for but will get it elsewhere.

I don't get the hate for Barker. He knows the CFL inside & out more than anyone on that panel except for LaPo. He's an insider like Barker.

You were doing pretty good until you got to the Barker part. His last name suits him.

I agree 100%. The limit in my mind is the same and I'd go so far as reducing what he got in 2025. He was $80K more than the next well paid RB.

Bierness is a terrible host. I wouldn't miss her at all if she was replaced. Henoc Muamba has grown on me. he speaks plainly & says what the fans think without getting too technical. He doesn't yell as much as he used to. Sanchez knows his stuff but he has no personality. Suitor needs to retire. I liked Barker. I don't know why they replaced him.

Maybe the Argos could also sign Henoc, Kate and Glenn to ‘consultant’ roles.

He hasn't been with TSN since 2024.

thank god we needed that

and who knows maybe he will toss away a ton of value on a bad trade to us again

Of note the second period... This was the first time in a while that the Jets actually won the middle frame. Two goals. Even shots. Perhaps a tide is turning?

Pearson scores on a breakaway. Lowry stopped on a penalty shot. Shots are more even this period. But Buffalo still dictating a lot of play.

Well we draw first blood... But man Jets look like they are in quicksand against Buffalo. Badly outshot and now going on the penalty kill for a second time. Outshot 14-6 and Buffalo scores on the pp.

So the positive news is that we no longer have to suffer through Barker on TSN.

How bout a blow out win tonight to infuse some confidence back into this team? If we get taken to the woodshed again or even just lose a tight one to this team player only meetings might not be what we need.

Yep. Won’t be enough for every guy to get a premium deal. Could easily be more guys looking for elite money than elite money is left to pay. could be a big levelling of the free agents playing field.

Here's hoping.......I don't think the sms increase is going to cover the wild money that's being thrown around AND it certainly could result in some prime players being made available...We have to be very proactive and jump one...especially if it's in a position of need

Yeah, I agree. dumb money is probably going to be the main theme of the off season. I’d rather not throw the dumb money deal at rb. We certainly need to save the money from some place and it’s hard to see improving and not using stupid money on either line. Yeah, we really need to remove some of the existing dumb money. I’ll be really interested to see what dbs get in this market. Qb, Wr and line. That’s where it’s easiest to excuse making dumb payments. Rb lber and db are the hardest. I wonder if a lot more premium free agents go to market this year now that we’ve seen some crazy spending out of the salary increase. Could be a wild year
