Around The League Off Season Discussion
FWIW Jennings doesn't even make close to what most 3rd string QBs make, never mind starters. He's incredibly underpaid.

You're not going to get much budge from a GM on an entry deal into the CFL.

It's not really all on Jennings at all. I'm on the fence in regards to holdouts in pro football. Contracts, unlike in the NBA, MLB and NHL, aren't guaranteed in pro football and the career length is much shorter. Because of those factors, I'm a little less inclined to criticize a player for holding out when they clearly deserve more. Let's be realistic here. Jennings is the starter, not Lulay. Why should he risk injury for minimum salary? He went lights out as a rookie and now he deserves to be paid. I don't think you bump him to 300-400k right away but I think the fair and right thing to do is at least give the guy an incentivized deal where he earns more if he's starting. It's just good business.

I know most people won't because of the on-field performance, but there's a lot to be taken from that article. The main thing is that while for the moment it's easy to argue the decisions that are being made, the process behind those decisions is a good one. Players want to be here - now we just have to improve on choosing the ones we want here. The morale inside the office, the locker room, the entirety of the stadium ... it's as high as it's been for a long time and that's 100% because of the culture Miller, Walters and O'Shea have instilled. People like going to work while they're here and that matters. Now just get the on-field stuff right.

National & Regional Combine Lists Announced
Good group of receivers out there this year ... Josh Stanford really should be in the top 20 prospects. Mike Jones is a super interesting prospect to me, although I have no idea how he's Canadian. He'll probably be the fastest receiver at the combine and he's going to be an interesting Canadian deep threat burner for whoever drafts him.

Surprised Topolinski and Lalama weren't invited right to the main combine.

Bautista wants 5 Years - $150M
I was on his side until I read this, because I figured while he was being smart, he wouldn't take that stance if he was incredibly greedy and overinflating his value. I was wrong.

I thought the quite opposite, thought it was a great show of leadership by the coach. Really no different than Wheeler dropping the mitts.

If Walters gets Chungh's name on an extension I'll be very surprised. He's a PERFECT example of why the league needs a RFA system.

Around the NHL
Can't believe someone would even consider begrudging a guy for wanting to play out his contract and help a team in the quest to win the ultimate prize in hockey. Isn't that the point of everything in the NHL? To win the Stanley Cup? And now because Stamkos wants to stick with the team he's got a contract with, while they have a legitimate shot to win the Cup, even though he may leave following the playoff run ... there are suggestions he's not a character guy? Wow.

New Look Bombers
Worth considering about the Bombers: there's probably at least two starters in this year's lineup that we've never heard of at this point. I'm guessing HB and one of the receivers will be brand new. Maybe even safety.
