    Willie didn't come cheap, we offered him a contract and he signed for more with you guys

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

    Jeff Hamilton reports Jefferson got north of $200 grand.

    Demski made $148 last season and was asking upwards of $180. Hamilton believes he receive somewhere between the two numbers.

     

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

    Why? Just cuz u pay a ton doesn't mean you win.. It seems every off season ppl see FA signings and then proclaim these teams cup winners but if that was the case the riders and their 200 man practice squad would be cup champs

    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.

    $250k for Chungh??  That's nuts.

    $700K+ for Reilly, 250k Chungh, 220 Elim, 200 Burnham, Lee prob 170, Grymes 150, Durant 150...  this is almost half the cap

    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

  14. QB situation Winnipeg

    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.
