I love it around here in the off season. Our guys sign for less than they were reportedly offered and it's what a great guy, he loves it here. Other teams sign a player for less than they were reportedly offered and it's Ha Ha Ha, they were never offered that and they are overpaid at what they're getting.

Maybe I am biased as I am from Sask, have watched Borsa play a ton and know him decently well. I think he has the potential to be a very good back. If he wasnt suspended for the year before his draft year he would have gone much higher. He is big, has break away spead and is effective out of the backfield in the passing game. I bet he is the third back and special teams guy before getting more and more offensive snaps. 

ahh players will use anything they can if they think it will give them an edge. 

Hypothetically if you were to sign Boateng you could sub Thomas out and Run 3 d ends in passing situations which would be pretty ideal. I dont see how you would be able to afford him though paying a guy 150,000+ to be a situational pass rusher doesnt seem like a good use of resources. 
On another note I dont know why Chris Jones hates canadians at certain positions. Boetang is a good DE regardless of passport and it should be looked at as a bonus that he is Canadian.

I gurantee every team does something similar. I bet there is a condo somewhere in Winnipeg that a bombers board member or a friend of wade miller owns that houses many bomber players at a somewhat reduced rate. If anything teams like Sask,Winnipeg are at a bigger advantage with this being in a smaller community. 

Glad Couture has re-upped....Thinking about the crazy money the Leo's offered Lawler, makes me wonder why they didn't try to go after Couture and fix their O Line....I believe Couture is from that area as well...I wonder if they have any competent people running that organization🤑

should help with cap situation though. Have him on 6 game for half the year. Only half of his contract would count against the cap. Then get him for the stretch run and playoffs. Honestly not a horrible situation. 

you're correct. CFL.ca said he was on the free agency list but after a google search i can see he signed 6 days ago. 

Zack Williams has resigned with Calgary... Yes, would have been a very good option, here...

As a sask fan stay away from Moncrief, I want him back. Looking at FA list I wonder if the Bombers would be interested in Zach Williams from Calgary. Played pretty well last year for the stamps, honestly might have been the second best LG in the CFL behind Desjarlias. He is from Brandon and played at U of M.  If you guys lose Couture and Eli could have some money to spend on a veteran guy from another team.

As a rider fan that for sure soured me to Duke Williams. I was willing to give him the pass for the Lemon incident as it seemed like Lemon just lost his cool and came up with an excuse, especailly that there was no evidence to back it up. But when something dirty happens the next week that starts to be a trend. I do think Duke is the best receiver in the CFL though. He can change the game. If he leaves the Riders I hope he goes to Ottawa for a ridiculous amount of money and we don't have to worry about playing him in meaningful games. 

Apparently not, two year extension

Problem is those guys dont really shake lose from the NFL. I would not be shocked if Kalinic sticks down there as 3rd TE. He is a very good blocker and a strong special teams players. He isn't super athletic so don't see him giving much in the passing game as he didn't do much up here but lots of teams have blocking TEs and special teams players as their third TE. 

The play clock difference is way overblown. The NFL starts the play clock almost immediately. In the CFL they wait for substitution, refs ready then blow it in. If you did an average time between each play the difference would be much smaller then you think.

I am a Texas Football fan. He was a big deal down there and a super highly recruited guy out of highschool. I remember being disappointed seeing him sign with the bombers as a rider fan. Nice to see him down there promoting the league to a bunch of guys that could potentially be thinking about coming up here in the feature.

Desjarlais should get a solid NFL look. Teams are always looking for lineman, I think he has the skills to stick also. The only thing that might go against him is his height. He would probably have to move to centre. 
I think the two DBs also have a decent shot. I am always a little hesitant with the slot back to nfl transition that Lawler would have to make. Having the waggle is a big advantage especially for guys that might not be explosive. His 4.60 fourty time 5 years ago kind of shows that is him. I would expect him to maybe get a look but if he does I think he would be a guy that ends up north of the border again next year.

Pretty good list. A few changes I think I would wish they would do is put 5 Receivers in all star teams, essentially the 5 reciever set is base in the CFL it seems. I understand the point of having an all star fullback but I think they can just have an extra position.  I would also put your guy's left guard on it over Chungh. 

So we are just going to ignore the tweet that DT put out later that said he had no riders on his all star ballot ? He is just simply stating facts in this tweet and everyone here seems to be the one getting upset.
