The Lions have the OPTION to sign Rourke for another season at the 2+1 standard rate. What do you think happens if the Lions do not choose to use that option???

Yeah I know I was just taking the piss. If the BC Lions decline his options there will be some sort of gentlemen's agreement between them and Rourke though. Won't prevent Jeremy O'day from taking notes about the Carlos Boozer incident in Cleveland though I'm sure 🤣

What are the options for the 3rd year on rookie contracts again? The team declines it or the team exercises the option and gets the player for an additional year at $80k? It would be too bad if the Lions refuse to exercise their option for a 3rd year and Rourke can't sign a new contract to play in the CFL next year, he's a pretty exciting player.

If McRae got moved to the practice roster you'd think that bodes well for Bailey playing despite the Doubtful status.

The only thing I've been thinking is that they've been in contact with people in the NFL and they want to see something specific on tape.

With Rourke going down are the Bombers the only fan base that is happy with their QB situation right now? Seems like it's pretty slim pickings for QBs out there.

I wonder if it has to do with buying the playoff game and all the expenses related to it but the revenues ending up in another bucket?

Picture this. You are managing your team and evaluating your upcoming vendor contract renewals. This particular vendor is using old technology and is prone to breaking down with extended downtime and costs multiple times that of other vendors. However, due to the relationship you've built, rather than cutting them loose you offer them lesser responsibility and a contract closer in value to what it would cost to replace them.
