  1. I’m all about Jontrell Rocquemore
  2. The problem is pretty clear. Walker can be worth 250k, nobody’s arguing that. There isn’t 250k left.
  3. He toes the line too though, so I'm glad they let it go both ways.
  4. Yes, but also no. It's not so cut and dry. I doubt Griffiths and Jake will be on the field much at all together, to be honest ... it just seems like an inefficient use of personnel. I think we're more likely to see Jeffcoat/Jefferson line up inside, some packages involving Antigha and Jefferson where they mix and match to create a 3 man rush and drop one of them back into coverage, all that kind of stuff before we see our two DTs that are lesser talents than so many other options taking snaps at the same time. Will it happen? Almost definitely. Often? I doubt it and I also hope not.
  5. Hate to break it to everyone but apparently the Bombers were sleeping by not signing Antonio Pipkin, according to Mensa member Rileyrompers over at RF. Aw jeez.
  6. Imagine a Bryant Mitchell or a Bralon Addison.
  7. Yeah, that's what I recall. He came to a tryout camp as a DB and they liked his build and skillset at DE and tried him there and it clicked.
  8. Darvin could drop every single pass thrown his way next year and I will still forever respect him for the way he played and carried himself in a year where we won the Grey Cup.
  9. Plus if he's good, we can say "Riders don't even know how to make proper use of quality players" and if he sucks, we can say "wow this bum started in Saskatchewan? how embarrassing for them"
  10. I think I was mistaken about playing corner - safety rings more of a bell now that you mention it.
  11. He’s lined up at DE, SAM, WIL and corner. He’s versatile as hell, which I think Hall will love. Not an every down guy but a nice piece to compete for a DI spot. Besides ... iF hE sUcKs WeLl JuSt CuT hIm WiN wIn
  12. Bombers sign Tobi Antigha ... I really like that a lot. He’s a perfect DI candidate and Richie will love his versatility
  13. I read that pass knockdown nonsense too. Cripes.
  14. Fair comment for sure - if we sign nobody because there’s no room, I’m sure we could make sense of it but if we all of a sudden sign Derel Walker, I wouldn’t be waiting for the release that was now necessary either.
  15. Sayles and Rios were on entry deals - technically costs us 22k in 2020 to replace them and I’d be surprised if Roh, Gaitor and Nevis were making more than 100k (believe it was reported than Nevis was about 90k) Kongbo, Rose and Derek Jones probably gave us some savings. Would imagine Johnson took Fenner’s salary.
  16. We also lost hardly anybody. Hamilton lost quite a few pieces. We lost a backup QB, a first round draft pick salary and a corner in terms of significant costs. And don’t forget, even teams with first rounders this year don’t have to budget for those. They’re league minimum now.
  17. Yeah I mean Medlock at 180k or whatever it is + 65k minimum is still more expensive than 120k each on a punter and kicker and if you’re paying that much for both ... why?
  18. Part of me wants to just hope this is the year we FINALLY find a stud American receiver to roll out next to Adams and Lawler. Can we really go this long without finding one?
  19. Could be, the tweets are always speculative at best anyways.
  20. I can’t see Josh Johnson making less than 100k. Despite him not being known to us as a familiar name guy, he’s a big ticket player ... veteran who’s spent time in the NFL and played well in the CFL. I think most of us would be uncomfortable with what he’s getting paid. Harris being a value for what he provides still doesn’t discount that he’s making over 200k. We have two of the five most expensive defensive players in the league, including the most expensive. Our OL has to be the highest paid in the league. I do agree we have money, but we’ve spent in a lot of places people forget about.
  21. He was making 200k last year, according to literally every source I’ve seen. Where is the 165k number coming from?
  22. I dunno, I just think we’re overstating how much money other teams spend and understating how much we spend. Look at the line of thinking: “Wilson on his second deal .. maybe 100k, Howsare on his second deal ... at least 100-120k” ... what’s the difference in these two guys? Not everyone is taking a haircut to be here.
  23. You’re suggesting Bryant took a 20% pay cut to come back this season?
