2015 Free Agency Chatroom - Starting at 11 AM EST tomorrow
Be curious to see who ends up being right. Lawless has been sounding the Rogers horn all along. Pretty much everyone else I've asked says Bryant.

2015 Free Agency Chatroom - Starting at 11 AM EST tomorrow
As one final tribute to Gary Etcheverry, we're going to sign Greg Ellingson and Stanley Bryant. But play Ellingson at LT and Bryant at WR.

The way I understand it, a 2015 deal was already signed by Elimimian sitting in a drawer somewhere. So even though his deal expired today, he already had another one lined up to be filed with the league for another one year term. Instead of filing that, BC will file a new multi-year deal. If that's the case, it makes sense why he was left off the list.

I think Sears ends up back in Winnipeg. Or with Ottawa. He'd be a GREAT player in Ottawa.

How is that even possible? And how would it be an extension if his contract is over tomorrow? Something isn't right.

Which GM will be most active in FA?
Walters just said there are 5 or 6 guys they've got targeted for tomorrow.

...because you need tips on how to gain weight so you can go on worker's comp?? #YourWindowToWeightGain #JustEmptyVitamins Because he's a locker room leader, an experienced veteran that could be a bridge solution while our scouts dig up a receiver and get him some experience, not to mention he's pretty much exactly the type of receiver we need?

New UofM Bisons Recruit.
I don't think many of us were shitting on him at all.

New UofM Bisons Recruit.
I think it needs to be said out loud that this kid deserves a ton of credit for coming on here and handling this thread with a ton of maturity and class. Props to you, Tristan. I think it's safe to say we're all cheering for you.

I'd LOVE to get Nik Lewis.

Do you think Jets will make any trades now?
I'm not too interested in Bowey, myself. Although I suppose he's a decent piece. I like a lot of Washington's pieces. Many of their fans would rather dump Kuznetsov than Burakovsky ... I'd take either one. Gladly.
-
Do you think Jets will make any trades now?
There's no way Washington gives up MAJO, Burakovsky and a first rounder. I'd quite honestly take Burakovsky and a first for Kane, though.

Anyone still think we're going with Royal Blue Jerseys this season?
To be fair, when Reebok rebranded the entire league in 2012, the new jerseys were released in early May.

Stanley Bryant in a Bomber uniform already ? Mike, I have to ask, are you clairvoyant ? No I just have MS Paint.
-

That'd be very disappointing. Everything I've heard suggests the royal blues are (were?) coming back as the full time uniform. But who knows, plans always change. **** would that be disappointing though.

He still lives here. Chris Kowalczuk works out there too, I believe.

Bob Mckenzie on Evander Kane
LMAO at one of the comments. Kane, Scheifele and Morrissey for Kessel

There's no sense in filling every hole we have in free agency. These guys are going to want upfront money. Trust your scouting. We need a LT - I want experience there, get Bryant. We need three linebackers, maybe four if you want a DI - Fill one or maybe two holes here to get some experience. We need a receiver - If the price is right, sure. Otherwise trust your scouting. We need to have breathing room for rookies to come in and make impacts as well.

Why didn't Walters trade Brohm?
Not sure where you'd get the comparison between Reilly and Brohm. Brohm is nowhere near Reilly status. Brohm isn't even the best FA QB available. He's the third, MAYBE fourth (depending on if you favor Sunseri, which no doubt some teams would) best QB on the market and he's thrown exactly zero touchdowns in the CFL. Would you want Walters to trade for Brohm as a pending free agent at this point? I sure wouldn't. Oh, and he's all of 6 months or so shy of 30.
