Allow me to rephrase.   We've brought several good placekickers into the CFL over the past few decades. We have not brought in and kept a decent placekicker since 1989. I hope Leggs is not another kicker to add to the list who we brought into the league and excelled elsewhere.

The point is being missed here.  The point Im making is we have a long history of either giving up on kickers or losing them through other means..  Kicker's we didn't value highly at the time and then those kickers went on to have significant success with other teams. Leggs showed more than enough for a first year place kicker to warrant being the guy next season. 

Nobody can stay on the point so im not going to continue on the subject.

Never said he was.
He didn't impress with the bombers. At least not enough to give him a chance. The point im making is that we gave up on all these kickers only to have them excel on other teams.  Let's not make the same mistake again.

Sure bring in some competition for leggs. But let him keep the job if he looks any sharper then last season.  We let go Canadian kicker Lirim Hajrullahu Paradis, Castillo, Maher.  Not every kicker is an instant success and his numbers aren't bad for this stage of things.

Yeah reads to me like a guy struggling with the decision to stay for what the Bombers can offer or take more money elsewhere but maybe not be as happy. 

Wrong, this was Rasheed when Sask called about his availability

And why if he was always so determined to be nowhere but Winnipeg did it take two weeks into free agency for him to stay here? And what other offers did he turn down, and for how much? Curious to hear some numbers. 

He's a free agent after this yr...sign him then...and I bet it's a slam dunk he does...and costs us nothing in doing so

Orimolade made Stanely Bryant look average at times last year

Liegghio is fine.... I am not concerned. 92% career at CIS, and is doing all 3 duties for us. His punting and kickoffs were great. The biggest issue was converts....whatever. He's going to get better and better. Just let him grow. 

There's been a lot of talk about players who are getting older and will likely regress.  I agree with most of that however statistically i think Jefferson and Jeffcoat will actually have better seasons this year because I think Winnipeg will blow more teams out this year and they will face more obvious passing situations.
I thought it would be interesting to take a look at who are good candidates to elevate their play. Younger players who are coming into camp with more experience and confidence.
Geoff Gray - He's got a full year as a starter under his belt now. I think he gained confidence during the season and even showed some feistiness more than a few times down the stretch. 
Kolankowski -  Started a bunch of games last season comes into camp with confidence and a legit shot at starting. 
Agadosi - If only he can stay healthy
Oliveria - He's probably my top choice on this list. It took him a good chunk of the season to learn how to relax and be himself and was one of the better runningbacks in the CFL down the stretch. He comes into camp this year knowing he knows what he needs to do and I think he's gonna have a great season. 
Schoen - Might not put up the numbers he did last year in a slightly reduced role but he's going to be better coming into camp after mastering the waggle last season.
Marc Llegghio -  Please let me be right about this! Pleny of room for upside
O'Leary-Orange - I think he has a chance to be an upgrade over Wolitarsky as he is more athletically gifted. Needs to stay healthy.
Demario Houston - was playing elite corner until he got hurt.
 
Honorable Mentions
Dru Brown, Liam Dobsen, Ricky Walker, Drew Richmond, Eli, Les Maruo, Malik Clements
 
Wildcards
The newcomers. The pool of talent is thinned out with both the USFL and XFL gobbling up import talent. I hope we are still able to find the same level of talent this offseason as we have in the past. 
 

Dru Brown is our developmental QB

He could get cut and be back with the Bombers in time for TC.  Walters clarified today that they're looking for a 3rd down specialist to run special packages like Streveler, not a developmental QB.
