No concerns that Toronto will be able to put together a good roster if I’m an Argos fan. Will it gel this year in time? Impossible to say. But will they have talent in camp? I don’t know why anyone would assume otherwise. Great scouts over there, especially on defence and they still have a lot of solid pieces in place. Carnell, McManis, Jones, Ceresna, Metchie, Orimolade … they’ve got the makings of a solid D for sure.

Who is that? Vanderpal or whatever?

If there’s anything our scouting has been especially successful with, it’s been finding players to patch holes in our OL. Genuinely not worried at all about finding a tackle replacement.

This is me with Kobe Williams. Teams are going to be talking about him next year like they were talking about Pickett this year. Would like to be the team that gets him at a discount before that happens.

Just give me one of Hendrix/Oakman/Christmas/Walker (preference in that order), Mason Bennett and Kobe Williams and I’d be thrilled with this off-season. And let’s not lose our entire kick cover team. Oh yeah gimme Davis2 also

Trevon Tate is great but can’t see him being cost effective Check some of the other replies again lol

I would have to imagine he probably got an opportunity to do something similar back home.

Lol it’s all good, I just find it irritating (not you) when the Bombers have built this culture around treating their players and staff with the utmost respect for them as humans with real life stuff and families and then all of our fans want to say weird stuff that goes entirely against that just because a player makes a decision that I’m guessing the club probably had a ton of respect for.

Just double checked. He’s been working with non-profits to open up health clinics in Winnipeg. Don’t think the guy was trying to hold the club hostage, just sounds like he needed a certain dollar amount to continue on with football.

I think you are kind of misguided about Richmond. Pretty sure it was more of a “at this point in my life, I need this much or I can make more doing something else” more than a trying to hold the club hostage. Pretty sure he resides in Winnipeg and his other-than-football stuff is in the medical field.

Come on man, you’re better than this. There’s no maybe, Hardrick isn’t getting 350k to play football this year. The bonus is never over the value of the contract, they’ve literally never reported it that way.

There’s no plus the bonus. The bonus is always just a portion. Hardrick isn’t getting paid 230 plus 120.

Drew Richmond retired 😂

I agree too and as much as I’d love to see Bailey back, I also want to see him make his money and go somewhere he can be a second option. He’s capable enough to do it, I just don’t think we can give him what he deserves.

It just hit me that we got Brady, Streveler and Schoen for a combined 580k.

@greenrider55 get in here and explain yourself you wizard

Only once GCn acknowledges McCaffrey and James Cook are not equal

If you think a bellcow averaging 6 yards a carry is similar to a bunch of guys who do it way less often for considerably less production is “similar”, you’re lost. Beyond lost.

let’s go back to arguing about Jake Thomas now

One year deal for Dalton. 230k. STEAL

Sorry, more is what I meant. 25 more

His YPC was higher because he didn’t take goal line touches. I’ll do the math later.

Welcome back Dalton

It isn’t obvious, mostly because you seem completely lost about what his production actually looked like last year

Yes he did, what are you even talking about? The only guy he didn’t have a better YPC than was Kevin Brown, who didn’t take goal line touches and is going to naturally get a bump in his YPC from that. Also, where is this “100 more than any other back” bullshit coming from? He had 25 less carries than James Butler and over 400 more yards. Is that significant enough for you? Hell the only full time back he had 100 more than was Mills and he wasn’t even the guy the whole year and missed 3 games.
