Why would teams pay him more money?

True, but he wasn't a star player. At the time WPG wasn't a hot landing spot for anyone and Stanley came here by choice, off of a MOOL award in CGY. The neuf trade was solid, but wasn't nearly as impactful right out of the gate as the Stanley signing.

Likely more honestly

My thought was possibly olb? I don't know though. Agreed he's not big enough for de

Yeah, pro sports are cut throat. They aren't the 1st and won't be the last. FUN FACT. On this day in 2015 the 1st piece of the puzzle was officially signed. #66 the GOAT of Goats became a Winnipeg Blue Bomber.

Loved what he brought to the field. Sad to see him go. But not surprised. Looks like 8 other teams felt the same way the Bombers did. I'll always remember him being part of the most dominant defense professional football has ever seen.

Everyone plays banged up at that time of year no doubt. It's about how effective you can be. Hindsight is 20/20 and it's abundantly clear that Bighill and especially Schoen should not have been on the field for as many snaps as they were. As was stated, your comparisons aren't meaningful as Strev was a secret for the most part....but was still extremely effective and Alexander as proven by video hurt himself celebrating after the win.

Wonder if we see a Jeffcoat return?

Oh ok, that makes sense. I'll read what I want!

Where did you see this? I'm looking but can't see any announcements

Grant is better.

I can see Grant heading to BC. Might be a good replacement for Lucky. And who have they signed? That one LB and Stanback.

126k apparently

Well, good on him for taking less

No. That makes the deal make more sense. Nichols is better, and didn't just sign a new contract, and is still making more.

He definitely started 1 game. It was the final Reg season.

TO still has a decent wr core. But I agree, AJ was a main piece of the puzzle for that o and their Defence likely won't be able to bail them out like they did so many times last year. Will be interesting to watch how Kelly deals with some regular adversity.

With all due respect, there are not 15 RTs that are better than Hardwick. That's ridiculous to even suggest. He's top 3 for sure. It's not his ability that's the problem really. When he's on, hes one of the best. It's his age and potential for declining play that makes the contract crazy.

He played on it last year.

That's brutal about Richmond.....

It's hi for DBs. But not crazy.

Honestly 135k per year doesn't seem like that bad of a deal for Houston.

You think they go 8-0 to start the year?

This about where I'd thought hed sign. Figured it be in TO cause I see Dalton getting close to 300k. And thought that would be the preference. I love that Brady is back. Calms my nerves about protecting Zach. They idea that "we've gotten worse" is absolutely stupid. No one's knows how good or bad this team will be until the end of camp at the very earliest and likely 6-8 weeks after that. I still say it's harder to replace Schoen than Brady. Glad he's back. Hopefully we make it a 2 for Tuesday!!!

To be fair, we also played Harris ball. Let's not pretend this team has focused on the run only for Brady. I'm sure it wouldn't have changed if someone else was getting the ball this year.
