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

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/positional/ according to that FBs make more money than RBs. Idk if it’s accurate or not. Beat me by seconds haha. https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10076678-what-is-the-going-contract-rate-for-every-position-in-todays-nfl.amp.html not a lot of reputable sites for this that I know of.

I’ve never heard that but I wouldnt be surprised. I lol’d pretty hard at that too. I wonder if no2 QBs, or back up QBs in general make more money than starting RBs.

Tbh you could take and one of their front 6. They scout develop and deploy soo damn well on the front. Not shabby with dbs either but I feel like they more so hit on dbs. They are a mill churning out good front 6 guys.

Very true. Harris was dog poop in edm, even worse than ssk imo. But a bit better in mtl.

Maier is a good point, I’d go maier over Harris as it’s possible maier improves. I don’t think Harris would be good on our squad. harris used to be a guy who put up yards but not scores. Now he’s a guy who gets sacked lol.

Interesting that he played two g and T spots. Looks like he’s a guard by nature though. But a big ass guard. I actually prefer shorter stocky interior ol. I think being tall makes it tougher in the cfl. looks like the pats brought him to convert him to T long term. Guy played a crazy amount of snap with out giving up a sack, even for a guard. 500 in one year with no sacks allowed and went 900 snaps with no penalties against. Played with a mild pain near his stomach. Then a couple days later he had ruptured his appendix and played through it, and lived with it. Then didn’t want to have the surgery till after the season and wanted to miss no games lol. Tough business. And he played against some monster nfl prospects. Not hard to see what they like about him.

I mean in terms of league kr/roster players. I’d take him returning kicks over the guys we’ve had the last few years not named grant, but yeah we should be able to throw a rock at a fa camp in the us and hit 6 guys who can kr. We just fall in love with the worst return men. I’d love him as a di rotating at rb, but I don’t think he’d do that. Carey would imo. I don’t trust stanback to block catch or stay healthy as a no1. Damn shame. id be happy for him if he bounces back though. Love watching that guy run.

If you rank the QBs in the cfl among starters the only guy who would be bellow Harris is blm imo, and he’s not gonna be a starter this year I’m sure.

A lot of this has been touched on to death, but if we do a platoon at rb (we should but likely won’t) I’d love to see grant get more touches. He’s such a deceptively strong guy and tough runner he’d be great to get more looks. If we do lose grant I wouldn’t be against a home coming for lucky if he’s at a reasonable price. Morrow could also be and option but not a fan.

Honestly you summed up perfectly the average sports fans of most teams in most leagues. I like whitehead, Carey, wieneke as bounce back guys in the right position. But it’d have to be cheap incentive laden deals. No way I’d want to give those guys much money.

2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)
We let Harris walk after many great seasons. I don’t think it registers to them at all.

2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)
Yeah I heard it was tweeted I think by naylor so extreme grain of salt. Though it does make sense. how crazy would it be if bo went to to and oullette came here? Also does make sense though tbh if we go away from Brady, I’d rather bring in a crop of cheap rookies and a cheap incentive laden flyer on a vet like Carey I love that deal for him and for us. That’s a win win.

2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)
A handful of guys league wide have renegotiated deals to get more upfront money and less salary as if some how reduces their taxes. Even in those moves it doesn’t seem like big cap savings. Maybe 1/3rd of a base rookie contract. I don’t think any one, other than strev, has taken an extremely team friendly deal. Strev as much has bet on him self in this contract as well.

Get kongbo back and ford. Tons of versatility. Apparently naylor says Brady wanted 300k. And came down to 250. If it’s true, which isn’t far off the numbers every one was thinking he’d ask, It makes sense why a deal isn’t done. If no one else grabs him at 250 in the first week I actually like our chances of getting a reasonable 200k ish with incentives included. I can see some one giving him 250k possibly though.

Did Noah come back? I remember he had a bad injury and was injury released. We are deep at kick cover safety’s that’s for sure. I wonder if we try to move exhume (if he’s back) or Kelly to Sam to back up Kramdi. didn’t say he did, last word masoli was coming back and well on track. That’s an incredible amount of talent ott has at qb. And more young guys with experience than you can shake a stick at. It isn’t though. Especially not with the lack of continuity having reps together. Hope not. None of our Ss are guys who can cover that much ground and make plays in the pass game. If ford comes back that’s a great spot to flip. Other wise I’d go after an ni lber but we won’t.

Korny and Rosery are back. idk it’s early to tell. Our ol is extremely up in the air with age and contracts. Ott has a really good qb stable too with brown crum Adams pigrome and masoli. That’s gonna be a hell of a tc battle, though I expect some one to be cut early.

Where do I sign up for that deal? but most of that field is leveled now for minimum salary. It is very fungable though and no deals are guaranteed. Augustine was capable of earning more money, he had more incentives but he didn’t hit them or come close to making them out he had a 91k min and a 120max. But he didn’t hit 1k yards rushing and maybe eclipsed 51% of the snaps at rb once last year. Vs Brady who had 100/114k and hit all his incentives.
