Go find a tv partner any where that is growing the market and shrinking the off season coverage. It’s ok, I’ll wait. You’re the only person who follows the cfl happy with tsn. But that is your defacto position on all things.

You know who else thinks it’s a definitive advantage? Kyle Walters. man that sucks. Wonder why.

He certainly did not invent it. Most teams don’t do this. Most teams are handing out pretty bonus heavy contracts to vets especially in free agency. That’s why soo many of the top 10 deals aren’t hard money but the bombers contracts are virtually all hard money. With being able to use the 6 game ir retroactively, injuries to vets especially high paid vets create a lot of the cap room for replacements. Most injury replacements aren’t high cost eithe. Handful of guys come back from the nfl in a good year and get a big chunk of pro rated money. I definitely agree that the next man up filling positions internally vs trading for over the hill vets has been a key to success here. Though Walters retaining money for nfl guys returning has as well. It seems to me like Walters and co doesn’t really aim for holes in free agency. They seem to look at just the players and go hard after the guys they want. Even with nfl cuts.

He uses the bonus cap a lot for late season additions, and in the case of last year moving future cap hits to a previous years bonus cap. The cfl cap isn’t by any means the nba in terms of complexity but Walters plays chess while most of the league plays checkers with the cap.

Pos partner for the cfl.

I imagine the rest of the tc spots are mostly waiting on the cis draft results. Couple more bodies at wr, lber, dl, ol to round things out will be nice. Other than that I think we will bring in 1 more qb. That or it will be a short leash on hall. Or maybe waiting on a neg list qb to shake loose. But 4 arms plus the ni would be ideal in camp. It’s hard to replace that experience.

Right? When you consider how much bonus money they deferred from this year to last year they should still have very good flexibility through out the year. Lawler and Willy j are our only really big contracts by position this year.

I think the wheels wobbled the last two years. I think this year could bring change to cow town.

I think a good few will move up here eventually. But most of the top chunk won’t play this year in the cfl. It’s a great year to take flyers on high up side guys but it could be costly for the bottom half of the teams. I’m hoping we take a flyer or two for sure.

I think he’s got game left in him, but I wouldn’t want to have to bank on him as a starter. He’s also aged remarkably well for a twitchy explosive athlete. I Wish him well.

Doesn’t sound like the schooling side will fit with him. I think it’d be great if teams could have junior and even cis kids on a separate roster. Not eligible to play but can practice and sit in on meetings and film study. It’d be a big boost to grass roots development. he certainly seems it. The route running, high pointing and late grabbing really shows a natural competitive intelligence that you can’t teach. 100% good for him. Great guy, but time for us to move on. It’s kind of crazy to see the stamps signing our established guys who we are moving on from especially past their prime guys. Don’t get me wrong I think he can contribute. He’d be great as a sub package guy.

Looks big for his listed size. Smooth, fluid, great hands and cuts. I can certainly see why he’s drawn soo much interest from the major college football programs down south. To me he looks like a guy worth sitting on the pr and developing. Short of some thing awful happening he’s a super high upside guy that’s rare to get cheap little on free. And I mean Jordan reaves is still kicking around the league.

I would assume it’s like a junior player invite. If he doesn’t make the roster he should be able to go to college, junior, through the draft etc.

some kids even very smart just don’t fit with the teaching style or content of hs/college. It can be a huge asset to get 4 years of free college. But at the same time a lot of people have useless degrees. I think pro sports should do a better job of giving kids options other than college.

Yep, as a mlber not a fb or te too. Made his path to the nfl by tremendous special teams plays and goal line versatility that led him to becoming a fb/te.

Ahh yes the Toronto approach to low attendance.

A bit OT but I’d love to see some retro collector jerseys from different eras in the bomber store. Be great if I could pop in and get an era correct Dunigan, west etc.

Orozco sounds like a really good prospect. Was the best kicker in the n arena league by a lot. Supposed to have a big leg and plus accuracy. He finished hot at grambling state and was getting some good nfl hype from his work outs. Seems to have slipped between the cracks. Gonna be a lot of boots in camp thats for sure.

It’s not spending where it’s important. Spending the year end bill but not investing any of the money to actually fix the problems is just giving anesthesia along with the lethal injection. How long do you think the argos can continue as is? The argos are by far in the most trouble of any franchise. And no in season performance can help.

Really interesting seemingly high upside guy. Don’t feel like we draft locals often but he did go to the dark side for school.

For now. I suspect we will see a merger between the usfl and xfl. Other wise both will be gone with in 2 years at the latest.

Deep pockets only matter if you are willing to spend it. And mlse isn’t willing to spend on the argos.

If only the league could get some one like any of those teams in Toronto.

Welcome back Honestly I think a big chunk of rider fans are of the same mind. If they start out poorly I wouldn’t be surprised to see half empty stands and the lowest tv ratings in 20 years from Regina.

Didn’t have any love for the lions last year but I have great respect for him and I’m happy as hell that he is the owner. I have high hopes that victor cui will turn the elk around as well as soon as jones is gone.
