Thanks for clearing that up. I never said we should sign Richardson who is trying a comeback with the Lions in 2024. I said we need another player as effective as Richardson was for us.

Cottoy is a helluva receiver.

This was already discussed here over a week ago.

Colin, I have no idea what your point is. Of course, the Bombers want to sign Schoen & Oliveira. They also want to sign others. We have no idea what the priority for player signings are.

That's exactly my point. He can start but is useful if injuries overtake our OL. I don't want to lose him either.

Who is Ontaria Wilson?

Gray's not replaceable. Name me another player who can play Center, Guard or Tackle? As someone said, Gray hasn't reached his peak yet as a player. Thinking draft picks can replace veterans & we keep rolling along is a fallacy.

Yes, he has signed to return with the Lions in 2024, three years older & on a bad foot. I doubt if he'll be the same player he used to be.

Jessie. I mean, c'mon man. Do you really think I was talking about Stevie Richardson himself? I wasn't as he has been out since the end of 2021 with two torn achilles on the same foot. Instead, I was talking about a suitable replacement via trade or free agency as our interior DL had no push nor could we sustain pressure with just our Front 7 like we could in 2019 & 2021. So, before your high blood pressure gives you a stroke read what I said over. I said. "If we had a player like Stevie Richardson"....

If we let O'Leary-Orange go, if we let Woli go, if we let Gray go, if we let Schoen & Oliveira go then Colin seems to think we can replace them thru the draft no problem. . If they all go to free agency then we'll be lucky to be a playoff team. And we'll all be wondering what the hell is going on with the salary cap on this team that we can't sign our free agents.

There were free agents we could have signed but we didn't. We could have made a trade. We've done nothing.

Gray is a starter & can play multiple positions. We need him.

Why couldn't you have just said that instead of writing a novel like a Faculty of Law textbook?

If we had a player like Stove the past two years, I think we'd be talking about going for a record tying 5th straight GC. Instead, our D took a hit for some reason Walters, Osh & Hall never thought it a priority to upgrade our interior DL. I never understood the logic of doing absolutely nothing.

I think that the selections of Canadians were political anyway. Not always the best U Sport players went down for the game. Besides, why should an American Senior Bowl promote Canadian players over Americans? Bladek would be an upgrade over who we have now. He certainly would add more depth to our OL position.

First prize: Brand new Cadillac SUV. Second prize: A new set of steak knives.

The need to be a starter before we really know if he's ready may turn out to be a career killer for Brown. Who's to say if he signed a 1 year deal with the Bombers & continued to learn under Zach & Buck there may have been a better opportunity next season. I just see this guy as the 2024 version of Nick Arbuckle. Then there's Ottawa itself. That team & coaching staff is going to ruin him.

Rhymes lives in Ottawa during the off season so he signed to play at home. My condolences.

The Bombers did Brown no favours trading him to Ottawa. he had a chance to be a very good CFL qb but now he's in Ottawa's system. he'll be trotted out as the starter, beat up. spit out & fail. Just like every qb after Hank Burris that they've had. They've all been used & abused. That's just how that team rolls. Lousy coaching & lousy team. I'm sad we lost Dru Brown but I'm more sad that he ended up in Ottawa.

Definitely.

You ain't that far off. I like Rhymes a lot. Have to see how he fares after his knee injury

The best Left Tackle in the league & the guy who makes it possible for our hometown boy Brady to rush for 1,500 yards takes a paycut to help sign the young running back he blocks for. The sure fire Hall of Famer understands the business while the young running back doesn't. Who's the better teammate? Really disappointed in Oliveira's tweet. After the Oakland Raiders-Green Bay fiasco in 2018 with the field & moving the goalposts, I wonder if they'll do something with the goalposts so if an NFL exhibition game is ever played again they can move the goalposts without tearing up the field. Winnipeg is in Vikings territory so they could play a game up here.

They aren't getting any from what I understand. So, why the delay by these 2 players?

I'm sad that Blue Bloods is ending. It was my favourite show & has been for years. It cleaned up on Friday nights for a decade & a half & allowed CBS to intro new shows on Friday nights ahead of it as it was an anchor for their programming on the worst evening for tv during the week. Like Magnum PI & later Fire Country. I hope Fridays become a wasteland for CBS now as it used to be before BB. As far as the Emmys & Academy Awards go, I'm not much of an awards show fan.

Now, wouldn't that be nice? That would be the best news of the off season. Do you know when the NFL window closes?
