According to the press conference and Bauming Jefferson left money on the table from other teams to sign with the Bombers

That seems really expensive, doesn't it? or is that just me.

Whew. I'm old, I don't have the twitter machine or anything so I assumed there were rumours afloat.

lol wut.

If Edmonton stumbles out of the gates it's going to get ugly

Anyone else think Dressler signs a one year back in Sask now that Jones is gone?

I'm surprised I'm saying this, but I kind of feel bad for the Riders. Wallowing around without a QB for years is exactly what made us unwatchable all those years and that's exactly where they are right now. They're truly truly f^#*@d

That's a false equivalency though. That has no bearing on the cap. Also overpaying and loading up with premium talent isn't the same as having a million bubble guys hoping to find the diamonds in the rough. I'm not saying it would work, but considering it's a soft-cap league I personally wouldn't mind seeing them be aggressive and going for it all with some overpayments for once.

Maybe they're intentionally going to go over the cap. Honestly, I would not be opposed to having the Bombers exceed it for once with full intentions of trying to buy a cup

In the last 5 years Collaros has started 58 games, or 11.6 games/year average. He's pretty much Buck Pierce 2.0 at this point.

Jennings has potential to improve, I could see taking a flyer at him. Collaros/Bridge/Davis are what they are. QB depth with any of those 3 playing an extended time and you're in trouble

LOVE the Jefferson signing. He was single handedly responsible for like 2 of the Riders wins. A true game changer on D

We probably have the best QB depth in the league, but also we're firmly the second tier in terms of high end talent. Tier one: Mitchell, Rielly Tier two: Nichols, Harris, Masoli Tier three: the rest. I would probably rather have Nichols over Harris at this point mostly just for continuity and he's coming in 100k cheaper, but we definitely lack the high end talent at this time. Hopefully Streveler usurps Nichols at some point, imo. Nichols really played awful in the Western Final, but hopefully that was just a one-off as he's generally played pretty well in playoffs.

The west getting that much stronger sucks for us.

250 for Ellingson is insane.. No way Walker is going to be an Eskimo now.

Esks going all in this year. A couple injuries to key positions to them and they're in trouble. If the steam stays healthy and gels, though, look out. They're going to be legit

With every signing all I see is Riders management sweating more and more. They aren't going to have a snowball's chance in hell in the west division this year.

BLM would have a free path to Grey Cup every year in Toronto. He should seriously consider it.

Dead to us

Sask going to make a run and overpay for Harris? It would be tough to leave a starting job in the East to move to the uber-competitive West. The east boasts a turtle race with a much greater chance of playoff money and success.

You have some pretty unpopular opinions. Bighill is at worst the second best MLB in the league. Unless he blows out his ACL that isn't going to change overnight

What did he say about Demski?

JSK gone, Loffler gone. At least Walters and Chungh's agent are talking

I was just in Arborg and I believe it's actually "Family Fabrics". Get it right!
