I can not imagine a world where cfl players want to get cut late and be surprise free agents and lose 50-60k. That’s a big chunk of their earnings. pass on woody baron imo. Same 3t type smallish dt we’ve let walk this and last off season. Sayles is hands down better than him. Save the money and bring in import nose tackles.

I wonder if players ever stop accepting off season roster bonuses. Soo many guys lose that money. Not surprised awe he’s dirty is back, but I always hope teams will move on from clowns like this.

Yeah, that’s a great description. It’s hard to tell how big he is currently. 260,267 bigger even. If he is close to or 270 he might even be the dt spot for us. Seems like one of those hard to quantify athletes. Iowa is a good place to be recruiting dl too I bet atleast 1 guy renegs on his agreement.

Big de, almost more of an undersized dt body, 6’5 260s with dt type of athleticism. Part of some really dominant line.

Them or Ottawa

If it’s an incentive based deal with a lower base I’d be good with it. Love what he brings when he’s actually on the field.

With how they benched rose for the gc, and the changes we’ve seen already I don’t think ba will be old boys clubbed into a starting position. Great guy to have in camp, low risk high reward. Perfect scenario is he trains up other young dbs to becoming the next him. 5% for 5 yards of depth or more? I would, as long as it’s not at the cost of hang time. Those bede kick offs make it real hard on the return team. Another guy like that isn’t in the league tho imo I think that’s going to be the plan A. Hard to pay grant big money with the unknown state of the ko return game. He played it for money last fa and didn’t get it. He was awesome last year, when healthy. But not healthy nearly enough.

Stove made others better where as sayles became better as an individual player. Stove was more than the sum of his individual play imo. He also didn’t come close to maxing out his potential. Damn shame. Sayles though stays healthy and gets better constantly. We still haven’t seen his best yet either.

And before that Nevis was a big fa pick up but also poop and Bryant. We can scout dts 0 worries. Fox not playing was a head scratcher. I feel like walker was willing to do what ever we asked and played with high effort and motor. Mos loves that. I was wondering both of those exact questions lol.

Completely different players though. And Sayles was excellent. Normally we would run a nose, and a guy who would play some 3t as well as some 2, and end and really line up a diverse numbers of ways. Those guys were the smaller athletic guys who were basically interior pass rushers. Sayles and walker are both guys like that. Thomas has played that spot too when we had nose tackles. 3T is a very under rated pass rusher in modern football. They often get initial pressure, and either feast off a nose tackle or create space for an end. When you see 30 front defences get a bunch of pressure, it’s generally with the des starting in the B gap in this type of alignment or working into it with their rush move. They can be harder to grade in 40 fronts when you just have one and they dont take the 3t spot every snap they play. But their primary role is to get in the back field and break up plays. They start the pressure ball rolling. Walker took a good step forward last year after the first few weeks. But honestly I’ll be happy to have new blood at dt. Having a 3t is significantly diminished when you just run 1 and don’t have a nose tackle.

Oakman and kongbo would make me very happy on team friendly deals. Other than preseason he’s been one of the guys that come in for the late season pre post season throw away games. He’s looked real good in those sporadic reps but he’s also been hurt 2-3 times just doing that. Either way it’s next man up.

Hope we have enough left in the tank to get some D help but at this point we might be limited to the bargain bin. Kongbo atleast would be real nice. I can’t imagine he or oakman would be expensive.

Dogecoin or nft.

Could well be. Their cut down day should be interesting. Iirc the usfl had rules with the contracts where guys could go to the nfl but not here end of season. Is that the case now I wonder

I’d be happy if that was true. Biggest question is and will be his health. He can play, I wouldn’t be worried to break camp with him starting at rt. Either way I do expect to see a fist full of tackles come in. Hoping for gray to be back and get a crack at rt first and foremost. I fully believe that’s where he’s best off. How you feeling about today as a greenback? Lots of movement for sure.

I don’t think we need a vet starter. Like bc grabbing broxton previously. Imo you should be able to find a starting import tackle that can play, unless you’re in Regina lol.

Hey drew, yeah about that raise… just take it out of the 3 years salary where you played 3 games. I mean I’m sure they would’ve given him a reasonable deal with some incentives where if he starts / plays more than half the snaps he could get paid as a starter. He probably thought he had them over a barrel.

I wonder if we look at bringing back Priester

Even if he does he still will lol.

Ste from ham would’ve been cheap and a better fit.

As in hes getting all that bonus this year plus half atleast of the total contract value. Some one skipped their vitamins today lmao. You think he’s playing next year for 60k? I mean come win a job. Can’t hand him starters money. He’s averaging almost an injury per game played.

I love how the team who hates to run signed the worst blocking / catching rb on the market lol

Yeah I’d a thought they’d all combine on new deals totalling like 800k range. Bluto and his 3 Argo fan buddies “look what they did to my boy!”

The one I wouldn’t want back lol.

Edm spending on sts with bede and leak it’s not crazy money by other position standards in the cfl. By db standards it is though.
