3rdand1.5

I like the White signing, a one year....personal 1000yard guy, he will show up with something to prove, I can only assume he will have a chip on his shoulder....true not a Bailey type at all.....I am also in the camp of Robestelli, maybe even one the Riders CDN receivers..... Still don't like the Kyrie signing...again not personnel, but IMO it was the right time to move on.... As I said before I think our O line will look good this year.., For me we need more overall depth at receivers, at least one more CDN receiver with some experience, and some help along the D line I still believe this has been one of Walters best pre FA's....

Well, this is the first move I don't like......I like Kyrie, but IMo his time here should have been up. Just the harsh realities of the game...younger healthier guys ready to take over.....

My 2 cents.... I am OK with brining back Willie, I also would have understood if we moved on.....Like many here I feel is not an every down player...but we shall see..... I believe getting rid of the Jackson/Hogan offence is a really big upgrade, nothing against either guy, but everyone who follows the team saw something was not cohesive within our offence...... I have been very happy with our signings, and happy to see a few of our older and possibly lower end talent guys being moved on from.... I am actually not incredibly concerned with our O-line....Hopefully a bit of focus in this and the next couple drafts, fill our cupboards again... Receiver and D-line are our biggest needs.....We need one good import and one good CDN receiver, not sure who will be left in FA but we need IMO at least one of each....DL, Vaughters was fine, but we don't need fine, we need better, again not sure who makes it to FA, but I would like to see a CDN rotational piece and at least one at minimum semi proven import to compete outta FA....

I am really happy about Neufeld upping on another year. I feel some don't give him the credit he deserves.

Schmek, improved before his injury, as a back-up rotational piece with Lawson, combined with his play on Jumbo packages, he is a perfect fit IMO. I could be wrong but I don't think he will be ready for the start of the season anyway...... Kola moving on and Thomos transitioning into coaching, in conjunction with signing, mostly Canadian starters thus far has been IMO a great offseason start...

If on field talent and athleticism was the be all for coaching and football operations positions....sorry to spoil the party but Wade should then be terrible............ Honestly who cares how the guy played, he is reported to know the in and outs very well, he has been on the PA and everything that has ever come out, he is incredibly well respected by teammates opposing players and those involved with the PA, he became his own manager, he clearly has respect and known intelligence within the CFL circles.....who the heck cares if he had a great swim move, or the fastest get-off, or had speed to play off the edge...that doesn't mean he didn't witness it over a almost a decade and a half year professional career......c'mon, really because he "bulrushes" well, do some of you really think, like honestly that, that is all can teach......really.....

My 2 cents ......we shouldn't look to allocate money to our LB corpse, we have some pieces already to be good....we should be allocating that money along the d-line....not sure who may still be available come FA, but the way I look at it, is the more we spend on DB,LB the less we have to spend along the D-line.....

JT...has bled blue for a long time....will he make a good coach...who knows..hopefully he will. Congrats to him on a new position... Hogan staying on is meh to me, but going back to RB coach, is probably a much better fit for him As to next signing, I am hopeful it's Nuefeld

I don't know the why's, but as I said before something just seemed "off" with Jackson last year......

That seems like a really fair value.........

Don't follow other teams rosters well enough, but did he work with any "solid up and coming prospect" that may join him? I can't see this as anything but a HUGE upgrade from what we had last year..........

This is one of the best starts to an offseason we have had, every signing has been a smart one, we as mentioned above have essentially signed 4 starting CDN's......my crystal ball says Nuefeld is next

Lawson as a primary rep eater, Bailey, Schmek or another Global/CDN to take some rotation, and have Shay/Smith and Kramdi rotate through the LB core IMO gives us good CDN depth and flexibility on defence. We have Brady and depth so that's 3 of our 7 spots. Presumably we resign Demski, and pick up a FA CDN receiver, I have a feeling KSB is the one who becomes available that fits our needs. With that and Clercios and Corccaron as rotational prices we are looking at 5 of our 7 CDN spots set...We could go as low as two along the On-line, I am fairly confident one will be Wallace, leaving really only a need for one more Neufeld likely.... I actually feel we are really one or two CDN pieces away from having very good CDN starters and depth providing Demski signs .. Caveat being Wallace takes another step and Shay/Smith show that they can start/heavily rotate in and we sign another solid CDN receiver. Time will tell...but honestly I like the offseason signings so far less not confirming Hogan will not be retained.....

That is alot of money....hopefully marketing money takes a bite outta it, but So far I like the signings two of the three have been CDN and the 3rd a young guy with tons of potential...

I like Robestelli as an up and coming import that may be an odd man out in Sask. Who shouldn't command a huge price, maybe not even second tier pay and KSB, sure some injuries, but again probably the odd man out in Sask. And should be in the second tier of Cdn pay, but has potential to be 1a,1b with Demski.
