Schoen is damaged goods. Why even weaste a penny on him? there are better free agents out there younger & have twwo healthy knees. And even if he signs elsewhere & has a great season, his body is a ticking time bomb for something to go off. Walters needs to spend money wisely & not foolishly. Move the eff on, already.

We also have to sign a FA receiver to push the ball downfield.

It's Beanie the GM unable to draft & manage the roster. Who is Allen supposed to throw to when he has the worst unit of receivers in the NFL?? Just like Zach here with the Rogues Gallery we had last season. Streveler at wideout? Schoen playing with a torn ACL. Corcoran???Mitchell??? Collaros still threw for over 3000 yards with a piece of **** for OC & missing 3 or 4 games with a suspension & injuries. Fans don't ask for much....

I'd raise it to an NFL PR spot salary & keep pace with it if it rises.

You can't just designate a spot on a CFL team out of sympathy ion the hopes Litlle Johnny can be developed. Especially if teams don't know if these players will or not. . We shouldn't just be handing out roster spots at qb on CFL teams just based on nationality. Maybe the CFL should do something about the level of coaching across Canada first. Put money into football at the bantam & high school level. Better coaching & mentoring programs. have longer seasons. In Calgary, kids plays 4-6 games a year in HS. How can kids learn anything with such a limiting schedule like 6 weeks? The idea of giving Canadian college qbs a free roster spot is bass ackwards. Have the CFL put money into grassroots football. Lengthen the high school & U Sport season from 8 to 10 games plus playoffs. Get rid of some of these older lazy ass teachers in high school who say they want to coach but don't want to put in the work until they were back in school. I saw a few of these guys at different high schools in Calgary..Most of these guys just bitched all day complaining about something all the time. These guys ran high school football in YYC when I was there & some still do. In order for football to improve & give the CFL better players, big changes have to be made at the grassroot levels first. Legislating Canadian qbs onto CFL rosters will never work.

If they aren't ready to play at the next level (CFL) then why do we want to spend the time developing them? No guarantee they would ever develop. No one wants to see some guy who would be better in a flag or senior men's league after U Sports waste a roster spot given to him for 3 years for nothing. Qbs in the US are better trained & have had better coaching & compettition all the way up. Some just can't adapt to the rule changes between 4 down & 3 down football. Thata's their downfall. The ones that have shown they can play like Rourke & Elgersma teams try to develop. Hopefully, they want to be here. I'd be against mandatig Canadian qbs have be drafted & take up a development roster spots on all teams.

We're trying to sign a Canadian qb but he doesn't want to play here.

Hervey is the most overpaid & overrated GM in the CFL now that Chris Jones is gone.

This isn't new. been talked about before. Just shows how ridiculous our rookie salary cap is. At the same time, there are 90 spots available on an NFL roster. The majority of these coddled kids won't be playing in the NFL.

Neuf is a steadying influence on the OL for sure. I think he'll have a great season with Koala finally gone. I mean.... Finally.

He is cooked thanks to Osh & the medical staff. Where else is Neufeld going to play. he has a home here as he knows our blocking system & has played guard for over. He'd have to start over somewhere else. part of a successful Ol is continuity & trusting the guys beside you.

Yeah, Pinball used to be a very popular player across canada. Now, he can't even say that Murphy approached the Riders without his knowledge. Which means that could be a lie as well & he knew. As in gave Murphy permission to do so. Just that Mace ratted the Argos out. Pinball's integrity is shot.

MLSE made no effort to market the game in Southern Ontario. It is disgusting how lazy & greedy that ownership group is.

They'll be lucky to draw 10000 fans to their 6 home games. No one will miss them, it seems.

It's GMs like Ed hervey that are irresponsible. You know he'll be throwing money around like it's no tomorrow & have a last place team again.

These guys were so underpaid for years & at some positions still are. I have no problem if the cap goes up significantly.

I just remember Brandon Browner patrolling the secondary with the Stamps. Receivers had a hard time with his size (height), speed & physicality. He dominated.

With his size, physicality & speed, wouldn't he be better suited to play SAM rather than Safety?

Things went off the rails for sure. When ownership doesn't care this is what happens. Pinball is such a company man. He straight out lies to cover MLSE & his ass.

Amazing how drafts work elsewhere like the NHL, NBA, MLB & the NFL but somehow it can't work for the CFL.. Teams draft the players they want out of college as per the number of rounds a draft has. Then they sign free agents from their teams they want to keep, or that were never drafted or veteran players from other teams that are no longer under contract. They also trade to acquire assets. Of course, with veterans already on a roster teams don't need 100 rounds to refresh a roster. Just because there would be an American draft doesn't mean teams can't sign players undrafted as free agents which is what teams would be doing. Nothing really would change. A draft is designed to create excitement. College football fans in Canada probably know more about kids in college in the US than kids in Canada that nobody ever sees because games are never televised. And drafting someone from an SEC or Big 12 Conference would definitely create that excitement.

You don't known that until it's at least tried. How hard is it to actually make enquiries? If threy get doors slammed in their face then at least the CFL gave it a shot.

I used to call the CFL Board of Governors, the Board of Dinosaurs because they just seem to rely on a business model that worked in 1967. It was announced the CFL won't do an American draft as it's too much work to get organized even though every scout on every CFL team should be a walking encyclopedia as to who may be Neg Listed on every team. The CFL at its highest level are lazy old men who just get by hiring the same people over & over for scouting, managing & coaching. They seem happy with the status quo even as bad as it is right now. As in Commissioner Johnson stating they haven't put out any feelers to any other broadcast companies or streaming services except TSN. So in reality, nothing is going to change.

Bryant was never a problem last season & I believe that he graded out as our best OL as well. The problem was our Center Koala. He's gone now to Hamilton & they're welcome to him.
