That's not his problem. It's Jones who opened up the CFL's version of a Brink's armoured truck which is a Volkswagen Jetta trunk to pay Lawler. My point? The League can't go crying to the feds or anyone else saying they have no money & are broke & then do **** like this. I thought the CFL was going to try to fix their business model. Don't you think with a hard cap that there should be a salary grid & the maximum amount that can be paid to each position? Ambrosie said everything would be on the table to discuss from team's business plans to rules & the CFL has done squat. This is total stupisity. Who knows anymore.

That would be funny if he had to play the Western Final here & it's minus 15 with a strong north wind. Stove plays in the CFL. The cold is part of the game up here. If he hates it then sign with the NFL or USFL.

A team's biggest investment is their qb. The other big investment should be the tackle position Rt or LT depending upon whether the qb is left or right handed.

I guess Chicago, Green Bay & Buffalo are off his list of NFL teams to play for.

Just want to add to my post... Huff spends big bucks on Noodle Arm & Jake Maier. And he lets his left tackle go to free agency. The first big one was Stanley Bryant in 2015 & now Ucambre Williams. Not saying Williams will become another Stanley Bryant but what's the point of paying their qb big bucks & they don't have anyone watching his backside. It makes no sense as left tackle (for a right handed qb) is usually the anchor position on the OL.

Big loss for the Stamps.

Dressler when he played was okay but not great. He also missed more game with injuries than he played. Of course, we had LaPo running that stupid fly sweep with him & he got punished. What's his speed after the achilles injury?

Things have been quiet this weekend from the Bombers with no new signings. I thought we'd be wrapping up signing one or two more core veterans. But nothing....

Guys on defense of every team who are stars must be saying to themselves, "What the hell??" A dumbass receiver like Williams gets 260,000 while they play for half.

That's a major bump. Thing is, last CBA teams thought the cap was going up. The Stamps & Lions reupped their qbs to $700,000 a year & it barely moved which negatively impacted their teams. So, we'll see. I bet Huff & Hervey was it (??) must have been livid after the present CBA was ratified.

I still think we can sign Lawler for what he wants but it means sacrificing some veterans. Some guys we really like or need. But Zach needs a legit deep threat as he does like to go deep. I can see us losing Stove. We may have to cut guys we've signed. Teams must be under the assumption the cap is going up. Why else are they moving the mark for receiver salaries?

Our track record says we won't find a guy like Lawler for a long time. It is what it is, as Mike said.

He also has a qb who can make throws a lot of qbs can't. The New Way.

I don't care what anyone says, no one comes back the same as before after a torn achilles. Thirty years ago it was a career ender. So, yeah, medicine has come a long way for sure.

Elks re-sign Walker. Walters running out of options with the spate of receiver signings. The pressure will be on to sign him.

Edmonton signed Walker.

Well, Walker's now off the market. The pressure is on to get Lawler signed as there isn't much left.

Ellingson is more of a 2nd down possession receiver. You need a first down then look to Ellingson. He can go deep but that's not his role.

That won't matter one bit. Only fans think that way.

I fail to understand why fans think Derel Walker will come at a discounted price. That was a tire in Edmonton last year so how much was his fault? He'll demand $200K to be signed. Will he get it? I'd say probably.

It took us years to find Lawler. Walters & McManus were accused on this board by members saying he couldn't find a deep threat receiver. We kept signing over the hill washed out receivers who never worked out.

The Bombers will have to pay Lawler. They might but that'll mean some veterans who helped us win 2 championships will have to leave to be able to afford it.

$200 plus K is the new $150 K now. Thanks to the Lions & Riders.

Have CFL teams lost their minds?? No wonder this league loses $20 million or more each year. There are no actual business practices going on anymore. Walker will still want top dollar. His agent will say that the situation in Edmonton was the reason for his bad season. He'll probably get it, too.

He'll be calm until he gets beat up every game the way Reilly was.
