    If the Bomber passing game picks up where it left off, it will take a lot of heat off Harris. He might not get as many yards as 2019, but he ought to be a lot less beat up, and his yards per carry should go up.

    Good point. If I were Harris, I'd be thrilled at the Collaros signing. As good as Harris is, he probably hated the dump offs to him from Nichols when the entire stadium, including the opposing D, knew it was coming.

    It’s unlikely to happen. But let’s say Toronto was interested in Nichols and wanted to get that done early so they can know where they are at heading into free agency it would make a degree of sense. But yeah it won’t happen.  It wasn’t intended as an overly serious comment. 

    Heck, why not? Toronto took Willy. Why not Nichols?  :-)

    that much "hard money" means bye bye Nichols for sure, now. He's off to Toronto, unless the RBs can't get Arbuckle signed, in which case he goes there for sure...

    Yes, Nichols and Lapo would be perfect for each other. Just imagine the completion percentage for 5 yard dump-offs they're going to engineer together in Ottawa. If that doesn't bring out the fans there nothing will!

    If he lands in Toronto to hand off to Wilder Jr., with that O-line,  that should electrify the league and bring the Argos right into the mix. Hell, Walker will be likely to go off for four, maybe five hundred yards!

    This is an unbelievably bad contract. I am gobsmacked. I guess there was a hefty price to pay to lure him away from Toronto after all.

    Yes, a Chevy Cavalier held together with duck tape will always be a much better deal than a Jaguar. Unless of course, you want to drive something really nice and don't mind paying for it.

    It won't be the same, but it will be good.

    It might be scary good. With Alexander at safety and guys like Taylor and Maston in the secondary I like the back end of the D a lot. The front line should be fine so the only question mark will be Bighill. His play last year dropped off from 2018. Let's hope that doesn't continue.

    Ive always been very critical of Hall and would have been happy to see him gone years ago but maybe he's finally figured out what works with this group. Their performance in the playoffs was unbelievable. Sure the Rose and Sayles departures hurt but quality DB's abound in free agency and abroad. Time will tell if it was a fluke or if Hall can keep the good times rolling.

    Personel-wise, for me, that D ranks right up there with the best I have ever seen on a roster in my +50 years of watching CFL football. It wasn't just the Grey Cup game either. Those performances at season's end in Winnipeg, Calgary and Regina were right up there too. If Walters gifts Hall with a team like that again in 2020 I'll be expecting a similar result.

    He played beside Hardick here as he was a RG, correct? He had Foucault for the majority of this season with the Lions & he's one of the worst starting OL in the CFL. He left a good thing here for a huge contract in BC. Decision was his. 

    When he played for us what I liked about him was his fire. He would often be seen fired up, noisy, and animated. I'm not sure why he left. If it was strictly for money, it was a poor decision.

    I agree with the decision to focus on Collaros. Neither of these options are a pillar of health. However, Collaros is hands down the more gifted of the two. He's a risk to get another injury or a concussion again but he showed that with all his injuries in the past he's still very physically gifted when healthy. And he won the Grey Cup. Nichols has IMO lost some zip on his passes and has zero mobility at this point in his career. I would consider looking at MBT as a backup should he be available. 

    With Dbags like S. Lawrence around, yes.

    If that was really the case he would have already re-signed in Wpg. and wouldn't have put his name down for a "bunch" of NFL tryouts, being as intelligent as he is he probably already knows  how NFL teams intend to make use of his talent.   I doubt any will seriously consider letting him read a D or throw the ball.  I think he'll do whatever is asked, for the maximum payment that can be achieved, no matter the location.......no different than most football players. 

    Agreed. For sure he has to take the money if it's offered to him. It'll be dumb not to. But man, this team won't be the same without him, that's for sure.
