Colin Unger

I started listening but i just couldn't listen to that BS.

I think the issue is roster spots.  After his injury they loaded up on receivers in the draft. Who do they cut when he comes back?  Are we really going to carry more than 4 Canadian receivers on the roster?  Im assuming Wolitarsky, Simonise, Petermann, and Demski on the roster. There's also Henry, Blaskco, Thera-Plamondon and Pierre to think about for dev roster and practice roster.

This is an area where the league needs to institute an injury settlement policy. In a case like this that it happens in the offseason there should be a settlement but it doesn't count against the cap.

I could see Nichols playing until he's 35.  Most proven vets in the CFL play a while.

Errrrrrr we will ignore the other few family members who came on since that time....  I'm sure Holland and Marve are doing fine now ....

Yeah we are probably about 70k short of being able to sign him at this point

Never mind all that technical stuff, we want to know if he got a signing bonus..😀

I like your style!

The one good thing coming out of this is Durant will not be a negative influence or slow growing cancer in the locker room this year .... lucky good riddance
 

His petulant retaliatory behaviour on Twitter the last two days is actually sickening. There's no defending or justifying what he's done. You're done with football...? That's fine. But show some goddamned class and be a ******* man about it. What kind of self-respecting professional athlete bails on the one team who gave you the opportunity to continue your CFL career, greedily keep money you absolutely don't deserve, and then proceed to take childish digs at that very team...?
What a pathetic, disgraceful, *****-made piece of ****.

Manziel is now even more likely to sign in the cfl which might shake a qb lose from Hamilton.

He isnt in that category. he dressed for 4 games and completed 5 passes. Kilgore only played a few more games but atleast started etc. Mitchell gale made it through 4 years. The difference between 3 tcs, holding the clip board for 3-4 years is pretty big and being around for part of a year is pretty big. Cato, played in 22 games  went 296/432 (69%) 3570 yards 17 tds 11 ints and ran for 319.
I dont particularly want either kilgore or gale short of a serious long term qb injury to 2 guys. Even then Id rather kick the tires around the league on some one with a pulse. 
Cato just slipped out of football. Sat last year. Hes the best of a bleak crop of whats available right now.
We can never under estimate the stupid of the reed lead als. 
His best time was a mid 4.4 but that pretty much wraps up his speed. He has wr / borderline wr speed, fantastic leaping ability, in a big strong frame. He is exactly the type of guy you dream of as a 3rd stringer, short yardage qb and holder. He also has the kind of raw talent in his arm to make you dream of warren moon. If we close camp with nichols, ross, and streveler as our active qbs its not an issue imop. As long as both ross and streveler show well in camp and progress. 

I think Streveler could run a mean short yardage unit. He’s big and he’s runs a 4.5 40... 

For everyone talking about signing re-treads like Kilgore or Gale...  the Bombers signed Alex Ross - he was essentially the best 'Cfl experienced' QB still out there, we don't need another one

I found a pretty good interview of Chris Streveler online though some of you might enjoy learning more about his and his character.
 
 

We need to take this opportunity and actually find and develop a qb. But I like a vet for 3rd string.  Give the 2nd string reps to someone with upside. 

The best option would be to see what we’ve got in training camp and perhaps look at some cuts from other teams if the guys we have can’t perform.

Some guys stay in shape.   Just saying we should check into it.  He will have plenty of time to get in shape as the scout team guy. I want that rookie from SD to be the backup 

Yeah I agree in general, it is worth doing the due diligence.  But damn we are in a tough spot right now.  God forbid Nichols gets injured because even Gale or LeFeveour are going to be in tough to win us games.  This is where the scouting staff really needs to pull through with a home run... I'm hoping Streveler can be that guy.

Even if he did deserve it which he doesn't.. My God how he can feel that Winnipeg is the organization that should be giving it to him out of charity!!

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up #2

i dont think i could stomach listening to that. thanks for posting it though. I debated over listening to it or not for a while. 

Is this for real?  He did absolutely nothing to earn that money.  That's like losing your job a pepsi and then robbing coke for 70k.
He was already way overpaid for his performance the past few years in the CFL.
