TBURGESS

I went Brown and Helton. Never saw Tinsley play.

Add Leggett to the list.

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that happens. 😀

Excellent signing. Full time job from BOD member looks like the clincher. Yes, it's a way to pay players under the table and outside the SMS. Yes. It's good business. Yes. It's good to let players know that we can and will find ways to get them paid. No, I don't think Bighill signs with us right now without it. His CFL salary would be very similar no matter where he played. It's a good day in Bomberland.

The #1 priority should be the CBA. Get that done, then look at selling the CFL in other countries.

Ed Tait - @EdTaitWFC The #Bombers select DB Sergio Schiaffino. Stands 5-9, weighs 175. Tempted to say here I’m shocked he fell this far in the draft and was still available. 😀 My favourite tweet on the subject.

Sure it takes 2 sides to negotiate, but they both have to sit down together to get anything done. Those meetings are usually called by the folks with the money who make an offer, not the union.

Medlock's the biggest name player who has signed so far. The top players, their agents, and the GM's are all waiting to see how much the SMS is going to be. I agree with SpeedFlex on this one... this negotiation should have already started in earnest. I'd like to have seen it done before FA day on February 15.

I'm absolutely certain that Walters has a better idea of the SMS than you or I do. That being said, I don't trust your gut one iota.

That's not the choice we're making. Lots of places to reduce our SMS. Leggett, Flanders, LaFrance, Dressler, Neuf, etc.

Darrin Bauming‏ @DarrinBauming Randle made $135k in 2018, including bonuses, and was set to make more in 2019. For reference Fenner, who only got 3 starts, was at $130K according to 3DownNation, Still one of the top guys statistically. Ted Wyman @Ted_Wyman #Bombers have released veteran cornerback Chris Randle, one of their best defensive players for the last few years. Lions coach Devone Claybrooks told me he thinks Randle is the best boundary corner in the #CFL Maybe he's gonna be a Lion next year.

Leggett had to go. I was against signing him last year because of his injuries and age. Randle on the other hand played well last year. I think he'll get a chance to prove us wrong on another team this year. It will be interesting to see who replaces him and how well that guy does in our defense.

Damn! One of my favs. $ > play I guess.

I'd like to see what Jennings looks like in Dickenson's offense. Great coaching and receivers would elevate his game IMO.

Jones spit on players. That's not an insult. It's part of who Jones was.
