There's something like 9 starters unsigned.
I know some of them include people that a lot of you want to see replaced, but having that many new players come in at ones is goin to have some detrimental effects on this team.
TC is going to be crazy.
I think most teams are facing this issue - so there’s that.

See I don't even see Sayles as the most over rated db on his own team
Nah - you probably just focus on the super obnoxious guys like Peters.

I find it takes a day or two to start hearing anything interesting.

He is not more over rated than say Demarco Houston...

He isn’t in the league anymore.

The thing we know for sure is that Toronto really likes Brady. They wanted him two years ago but had to settle for the back up prize instead. But Brady was their first choice. So we know they'd love to have him... But willing to pay through the nose...? Remains to be seen.
Let’s hope they do!

Thomas at his best was a rotational piece/bottom teir Canadian starter... he is long past his best. Appreciate the hell out of everything he has done for this team but even bringing him to camp is a waste of time. We don't need his passport at the position.
You can say that - but he had 5 sacks.
He is worth bringing into camp when you have no clear backup to Lawson.
It is an overreaction to be this upset about it. He is coming to camp. That’s it.

Which is why they need to cut bait on some guys quicker than they are and not waste roster spots on guys who don't really do anything useful for the team.
As long as you have a way to replace them. Otherwise, figure it out in camp. Like Jake Thomas.

I never want to lose again.
Said the same thing after 2019. That there was no reason we can’t keep winning.

I already consider them gone - so if they come back, great.

I'm something of a bright-sider myself.
Getting to 4 Grey Cups is an accomplishment in itself. Winning 2 out of 4 ain't bad either. But winning sure does feel better than losing...
When people get critical of the Blue it helps to remember they likely suffered through the drought same as the rest of us, and they simply want what is best for the team, the best for winning football games. I'm sure some guys especially fear regression because they don't have another 30 years on this Earth to wait for another championship.
Expecting an all-star at every position is silly, but wanting/wishing for upgrades, especially from some of our older and less dominant pieces (Kola, Jake) isn't. I get the disappointment.
We all remember what it's like to be a bottom feeder, none of us want to experience anything close to that again any time soon... hence the creeping concern...
Thank goodness we have the staff we do... they led us out of the wastes to the promised land, now we are navigating being victims of our own success, but if anyone can do it in today's CFL it's KW and co.
TL:DR: Koombaya, praise the trinity
I remember people saying they were happy to have won right after 2019 - and they didn’t really care if we won the year after.
Now they’re upset we have gone every year since and have only won once.

whatever...I know for a fact they can snap...and were on the roster last yr as the back up long snapper.....long before Jackson got here...U truly think he's the only guy we had ...or could find that could snap then sorry to say this but u g=have no bloody clue what you are nattering about
Whatever, bud.
I didn’t say he was good at it , I said that he can do it - that is why he on the roster. Obviously he has shown something the others haven’t.
Keep crying about our FB in every thread.

I bet schoen gets a call from every single team. Chris jones probably offers him nfl back up qb money.
Does any one think schoen signs for less than 300k given the market the last few years if he hits fa? Is some one gonna offer him 350k? 400? I feel like we have to be at the ceiling for wr contracts at 300k but I half expect some one to go full mike Reilly. If you’re gonna do it schoen is the guy to pay right? Best wr in the league hands down.I think you’re right. $300K seems about where most teams stop.
He is arguably the best WR in the league - but you can get two pretty upper level WRs for about the same price.

there are several guys on the roster who can long snap....That "excuse" holds no weight
And on special teams...he did absolutely nothing....was noit key to any part of it, and he was also on a ST cover unti that sucked all yr long
And any one can play that role on offence for 6 to 7 snaps...anyone who has physicality....Again...Jackson did nothing that any Canadian...especially the fullback we had who played it all his life...and was good on teams that we dumped for no reason....Jackson was on roster soley due to Osh's boner he had for him....and we had most canadian snaps for offence and defensive plays...ST does not factor into that so again...that aspect means diddly...No team in league rosters a DA there...no one ever has...and likely no one ever will...as it's an utter waste.....except Osh...plain and simple....cut and dried.
And his reps on defence in garbage time were comical bordering on embarrasing....but I sure we gonna get that waste all yr again
, at the expense of some talent that could help us
But they didn’t do any of it - so your baseless speculation is irrelevant.

Konner Burtenshaw, a Canadian FB was kicking around on the practice roster all season til the extended PR window closed and he was released along with Agudosi and others. No idea if he could play but he was available.
We were still able to play an American FB and be one of the top 2 teams for Canadian snaps
You know, all those FB snaps
They aren’t long snapping, and playing LB as far as I know.

We do it a lot.

if he was Canadian, no problem.... also, if we used the ratio rules properly, less of a problem.....
If there was a Canadian available who did it I’m sure they’d make a switch.

Here is the thing about Jackson that keeps him on the roster. He is a jack of all trades - master of none. He has the ability to play multiple positions as an emergency fill in plus STs.
Does he come off as exceptional in any of them? Not really- but his value to the Bombers is based on his ability to provide at least temporary borderline ability should the need arise.
I get why people are frustrated with him being on the roster - but that is why he is here.

That’s fine in June. We will see if he makes the roster.

lol, yeah, what does he mean "early"?
This is as late as it gets.
It really is.

They wouldn’t have signed him this early if he wasn’t gonna be a starter. U think he’s coming back to just not play? lol. They could have waited. He’s starting.
Again - if it goes to FA he may leave and now you are facing an even bigger problem.
So, no. That logic doesn’t check out.

Just now, GCJenks said:
Even as a depth signing this just feels dumb to me, shouldn't our depth be young guys learning with upside. Full of P&V, going out and running over people when they get on the field? We need to build for the future, not hang on to the past. Do Walters and O'Shea have that little faith in their scouts and the players they have / will draft? Just mind boggling, I need to walk away...
I think we all need to keep in mind that vets do get cut.
He isn’t in pen in the lineup despite what some may believe.
They may not like what they see in FA as a replacement. They may have their eye on a guy in the draft.
I wouldn’t lose sleep about it right now.

I’m all in on AJO to replace Brady if he walks.
