    We sure didn’t make any attempt to add top end talent to our roster or replace both end guys. We got as many cheap lotto ticket type free agents as possible, and they all went bust. 

    Who is the last high end FA brought  in (excluding bringing Lawler back from Edmonton).  Willie? Bighill?  That's not really Walter's style (occasionally wish it was though). 

    Even the guys they do sign, don't always get a chance to see the field (White or Mitchell for example) so it's a bit of a waste.

    I notice how you chose to clip off the first part of my sentence which read, "It didn't have to be that way but suddenly this past off season, Walters is a penny pinching GM like former Maple Leaf owner Harold Ballard was."

    I didn't see much that changed from his approach this off-season.  He even stated that he's not changing just because we're hosting GC this year.  

    Yeah he let Lawler walk (not the first time) and yeah guys like Dobson (not the first OL to leave) & Ford (also not the first DB to leave) took off but that's the same approach he's always taken - it's not new to this past off-season yet history shows he spends to or past the cap.  We won't know about this year until the spring.

    Interesting. I guess he doesn't need the 20K in playoff $$ either.

    Money doesn't appear to be a motivating factor for him.  He could have made more elsewhere but he said all he needed was a fair deal from the Elks and it didn't really matter what other teams were offering.

    How long till someone gets hit by a vehicle trying to cross Portage & Main? Being killed? 

    There are much busier and more dangerous intersections - should we block those off to pedestrians?  People can get hit on any street if they and/or the drivers aren't being careful, Portage and Main is no exception and shouldn't be treated like one.

    They are not paying for him to be veteran insurance for Strev.   And just think... they extended him for another season so this means 2026 is the Zach show again.   

    Do we know what his deal looks like for next year?  I know he's getting big money this year with a large guarantee but I don't think I've seen details for 2026.  If there's no guaranteed money next year, we're not necessarily tied to him.  It's not exactly the MOS way but if ZC doesn't perform up to his pay level, they could walk away from him in the off-season.

    He had 48 tackles and was on pace for over 80 and 2 sacks prior to injury. That would have put him as his second best year with the Bombers. He is also fully recovered and has been for months. I see and talk to him pretty regularly. Not sure why so many people have a hate on for him lol. Dude has a ton of heart and grit which goes a long way in the locker room. 

    Who's hating?  You can argue his level of play but he is old for a player and coming is off a major injury - those are facts, not opinion.  It's also not an attack on his character.  We all know what kind of guy he is and we love him for it but his on-field best before date is in the rearview mirror.  

    If he can crack the Stamps active roster, kudos to him and I hope he can end his career on a high note.  I just have my doubts it'll happen.
