In theory maybe, in reality maybe not practically they wouldn’t if they could. Not sure mlse could just tack on that much cash from petty money. Bob young and doman could though mlse has people to answer to and that money would have 0 chance of an roi. if you used it like a franchise tag, which I hate, you could force higher retention. Other wise the only way to limit movement is limiting short term contract money, or de incentivizing signing other teams guys like restricted and qualified compensation players in the nba/mlb the ladder of which likely hurts the league more than it helps I’d say schoen is 1.5 off those two. Brady and schoen is like 2.5 guys like that in salary pretty easy.

That defence would be massive. I think we’d still have a strong offence as well.

I don’t think the Argos would get that too dollar. Ham, wpg,ssk and bc would benefit the most currently imo. I like it, as long as the cap doesn’t shrink out side of it and teams aren’t allowed to skip it.

I was thinking about some thing similar the other day, though just for QBs. Maybe a sliding scale so any qb that starts gets that money.

What makes our team better, schoen or pickett/hendrix for less money? and Brady/schoen vs both Argos and easily another base deal player? I love roadhouse but I think we would be better with more spent on defense. If we retain lawler, demski, woli, and Bailey we don’t need an ace wr we can bring in low risk high reward cheaper vet type to compete with rookies for a spot.

That’s a good point. Though at this point it’s impossible to know how the changes might impact things could be the no blockers or tacklers move till catch change, or a punt style play etc if the ball is still kicked the value remains. I can’t imagine they take the whole return game out of kick offs. Yeah. And I mean Brady could argue his blocking and pass catching was that kind of value this last year. I don’t think we will see real change until the next gen of players come up who are moving from rb to wr.

I wonder if we’d consider bede actually. Great year last year as a kicker, can do all 3 jobs, biggest leg and best kick off guy in the league. Sergio is a better kicker, but bede might be cheaper. I’d really love to see a consolidation of the 3 jobs, even if it’s a di for all 3. But we really need to improve punting and kick offs. Be hilarious if we re signed legs. The head explosions around here would be epic.

Man I hope they don’t land a single defensive Argo player be soo juicy.

I mean sure but bad players are often free agents. I don’t see a lot of their guys getting offers from other teams.

Toronto’s defence is basically entirely free.

Farhan might come out talking about how every one wants to sign with bc but the cost of living means they can’t compete lol

Agree with this. The only issue with sayles is he’s a robin who acts and is treated like Batman. He’s still an exceptional athlete who makes plays. You can have that guy, but you can’t field a secondary filled with those guys. Even two is tough to maintain. I think every great D needs that guy though. Holm reminds me of sayles, but not as physical, with more potential to be a steady cover guy. I’d take sayles back today. Sayles imo is a better db now than rose, Houston, or ba. Rose is serviceable and versatile, ba is burned and Houston is a poor man’s sayles.

Fair point, though I saw discount lucky whitehead shirts last year still too. I think Brady is probably the hottest jersey the last year. Yep, legit team built the right way. If they had gotten a better qb they’d be a serious long term threat. mack has tons of faults, his ability to tap into the us market and find talent isn’t one. The ALs have done very well with Mack in finding us players. Canadians not soo much. And success is only ever sustained in the cfl if you maintain a high level of ni play.

Given his temporary switch to wr and then back to qb after his transfer and the missing reps I actually think this course has been the best case scenario. Forced into action as a rookie in a different league and rule set on a very good team, fills in as an option guy in year 2 and does package work which is all new to him as well. Then to the nfl where it’s all focus on passing but with some teams that had high level offences designed around running QBs. When he does take the reins, be it forced into a start or a late season rest game I expect him to flourish.

On strevy he was a legit passer in College had an impressive streak with out throwing a pick. He only regressed as a passer under plop. The check down offence isn’t what he’s cut out for. If your offence is designed to stretch sideline to sideline with the pass, running any thing but up the middle even with a qb is greatly reduced. Because he was used soo much to run, that was the first option with him on the field and what Ds game planned for. So the screen/release dump off played right into the Ds prep. We needed seam passes, timing routes, hitch n go screen out n ups etc. as well as some run wrinkles like qb power and counter, pump and runs, dive action screens etc. I’m hopeful buck will make better use of strevy. Big Chris also seemed to take a good step forward in the nfl from zona to ny. And I mean it makes sense he got some great coaching. I like white but I don’t see him being notably cheaper than schoen.

Let’s also remember Mos did move on from him, like 4-5 years ago. Then brought him back mid season as an injury replacement. Good likelihood. This fa period is the first time in a long time with soo much concern. Can’t wait for the first week of be over so we know who stays and who goes.

I have this sinking feeling we are going to lose both Brady and schoen. Boy I hope it’s wrong.

Posts picture of Cody fajardo lifting the grey cup. Here! lol 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.

Yeah tough stronger than he looks north south dynamic play maker. Fairly grant like with time at grants Alma mater. A bit more twitchy and polished as a wr less as a kr imo. Tons of up side that’s a great get.

I love the talent. Idk if he’s a fifo guy, don’t have any thing to base it on, but I feel like he wouldn’t be. I’d rather get benett and kongbo. He’s also a really good run stopper at de so even if you roll small inside he can make that work and not be as much a liability in run stopping he used to play some actually, returns two short kick offs in his career. At this point though not much he could do other than fill in for a guard. Interesting indeed. He put up good numbers last year in the usfl. Big guy too.

In terms of kgs career average level of play I agree. He did turn it up to a level higher than harris, but very similar passers with similar faults.

Harris used to be better but he’s burned toast. It’s not impossible that he has a resurgence, but it is very unlikely with his ol in ssk.

Korny is back plus we could look for some one at the draft but it’d be much better to get kongbo/bennet at the edge to rotate

12 seasons on a body by macdonalds, and he’s hardly ever missed games. He’s way past it, but he must be made of some seriously tough stuff. I mean he’s our back up to the back up ol, who else would do that lol. He’s also return two kick offs so he’s versatile what’s not to love 🤪 Fun fact he has 31 career sacks, just behind the 38 of Jackson jeffcoat. Imagine if jj leaves in fa and some how Thomas passes him? lol!

I’m not too surprised about fat boy. If he didn’t retire they were gonna bring him back. Hopefully he is kept under 20 snaps a game
