Have you forgotten that in 2019, there will be a $2.738 salary cap on management, scouts & 11 assistant coaches for all teams? The Riders already have 15 assistants under contract for this season. Why would they hire a 16th when they know 4 will be laid off & the rest will have to take pay cuts? Some will be substantial. The Riders will have to make some tough decisions. They have a huge problem but won't have to deal with it for another 6 months.

Greg Battle, James West & Tyrone Jones in the 80's were as good an athletic group of linebackers then as there are today.

When they signed Eric Rodgers someone had to go so it was Parker. At least that's what is being speculated. A 7 year Canadian veteran receiver doesn't come cheap.

Just my opinion.

From Muamba to Hurl as starting MLB. Expect a lot of big runs up the middle.

We have one already Twenty six pages.

He called the Bomber organization stupid. Especially the scouts. He should be fined. I see he took down what he said.

Why the need to start this thread when we have one already? True Blue will start a thread that could be part of another existing thread. He does that all the time. We can discuss Bomber news on Rich's CFL thread along with other CFL news. This thread is redundant.

Some guys are wired different like Joe Pop.

There is life after football. Joe Pop retired at 29. Dave Sapunjis of the Stamps the same age, I believe. Both had ongoing business interests. I'm sure a lot of other guys have retired early & walked away from the game while they could.

We now have two 2018 regular season threads. Rich started one in May. It is 26 pages long.

Parker may leave or he may not. He had chances as a FA to go to other teams over the years but chose not to. He has a well paying job in Calgary from what I've read & he may not want to leave it. His entire family is in Calgary as well so unless the Riders or another team overpays I think he retires.

One stat that stands out for Manziel. No interceptions. I don't think he has a turnover at all.

Willy's in the same situation in Montreal as he was here. Best of a bad lot. So him starting doesn't say a lot.

I watched the same interview & didn't get that impression at all.

Why is it so important that YOU start so many threads?? You like seeing your name & Bonzo The Chimp at the start of every discussion? Or is it just something simple like stroking your ego?

Thinking the exact same thing. Just Wow!!

Parker is an enigma. He'll drive Bomber fans crazy if he came here. He can look like a great receiver one play & the worst the next. He has all the talent but he wastes it by being inconsistent & even disinterested. He lasted 7 seasons in Calgary because of his birth certificate. I have heard that he has a very good career going in Calgary. He doesn't want to leave the city so he may have played his last game of football. The one guy I'd like to see brought in is Bakari Grant.

LOL. Kavis being Kavis.

Halifax is involved with no stadium. They want to build a temporary 5,000 seat facility. Basically a bleacher stadium with port a potties. Then you have a team in Winnipeg with a 33,000 seat stadium. Go figure.

This could be Hall's last season as DC.

Don't know if he'll ever get another opportunity to be a HC again.

Again, even if they are brothers that is a stupid & unprofessional tweet. So, using his logic the Bombers were a stupid organization And even more stupid to give Myles an opportunity.

Yeah, LaPo's a better coach than he was a few years ago, I believe. He has a good game plan & doesn't expect Nichols to do things he can't do.

Too many fans under appreciate what Nichols did or forget how bad we were before he got here at the qb position. Maybe when he gets back people will stop saying he isn't elite as I think he is. I think he's up there with Mike Reilly & Bo Levi Mitchell.
