BO is good- granted. I think he was also the benefactor of an offense designed around him, a commitment to running the ball and an Oline that has a powerful run aspect to it.  I think you put Stanback, Brown or Karey in that offence, I feel any one of them would have churned out more yard from scrimmage.
Now factor in  the savings- either one of those three, probably could be had for less than $150k- a savings of ~$90k. That is a good chunk of change for other areas of need.
Also, I think Stanback would have been a really good fit here- I think his running style fits the Bombers Identity best.
 
 
I do like the hometown hearo story line and he is genuinely a good egg. BUt if its team first- I think flipping the rb to import would be the way to go.  Just my opinion. 

Genuinely curious - why??

Sorry to hear about that man, Hope things get better soon.

I’m genuinely baffled at some of the reactions in here lol have we just turned into a ridiculously spoiled and entitled Rideresque fanbase who thinks everyone should take less money for the honour of playing here?
The Bombers just signed the MOP finalist, MOC winner to a two year contract in the prime of his career. Take the hometown element out of it.
MBB members, with no information on other offers, negotiations, the Bombers’ internal cap, how much other players get paid, how much the Bombers were anticipating paying, how much Brady asked for, where we’ve spent or plan to spend other dollars, where we’ve saved or plan to save other dollars or really genuinely any information about anything at all other than just a bunch of retweets from guys they only trust if the information suits their narrative: “tOo MuCh”
 
what?

275k per year? Just a gut feeling.

Might be some good news for y’all regarding Schoen shortly…

Gross.

What time do you get out of bed??

My 2 cents on the Yoshi leaving for 120K signing and 460k over 2 seasons is that he is a good player and SSK felt that it was in their best interest to overpay for a shot at 2 years of all-star production. It could help sure up their biggest weakness and also hurt us to win-win for them and the extra cash is worth it to them and necessary to get anyone to move to Regina. 
Also I bet SSK isn't done making big-time signings I bet they will go all-in this year and will maybe try to poach another one of our players. Hopefully Demerio or Winston.

Do you mean jack of? 

You guys discussing all these rookie rb/wrs/jack off all trades offensive weapons we've brought in has me excited. However did any serve in the military? Heck, were any of them in the Scouts?

Liking this signing...he's a legit 4.4 running back...His pro day numbers would have put him in top 4 of RB times at the NFL combine..and what I like about him for the CFL game...and our O-line is that he a patient runner when choosing a hole or sem but when he gets to it he's thru it fast....good blocker and physical....Very interesting signing...the first real legit RB prospect we bringing up in a long time.
Work a lot with Sun Belt guys so know some guys with good intel on him...He was actually projected to be an elite NFL return guy too

I figured there would be losses along the OL. And I'm glad they stayed with the GOAT. I would have been more upset losing Richmond than I am with losing Hardrick. I know...potential over experience. But they had to get younger eventually. This move makes sense for everyone imo.

If he retired, he’d still be their best OL

I would be thrilled if he pulled a Durant.  Take the signing bonus and go enjoy retirement!

Yoshi is dead to me from now until he retires 

Hardrick could barely get himself into a stance for large chunks of last season and was just getting beat by speed constantly.
In a 18+ game league, don't mind watching him walk.

That’s a lot of money for a guy who I thought was washed up after watching the Grey Cup. 

Until you roll up for training camp and see that the prison  is the most prominent building in the skyline. 

Good for Hardrick. Take the money while you still can. 

Yoshi probably still asked for Osh's blessing to take the position. He has that level of respect for his coach.
