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 -

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.

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. -

He just won MODP in his age 30 season. Anyone hoping for him to live up to that at ages 31, 32 and 33 are going to be sorely disappointed.
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 -

Ambrosie spotted heading just West of Arborg. Going to form an alliance with the Morweena Mennonite Football League. Might offer up the next jersey contract to the ladies to sweeten the pot. Fabric Barn get ready.....
I was just in Arborg and I believe it's actually "Family Fabrics". Get it right!

Bo Levi is only going to Calgary and maybe Edmonton/BC... no way he goes to Riderville.
0% chance. They could offer him more and he still won't go there.
