dont forget Reddit ICQ was my first go to

13yr olds? maybe 10 yrs ago. Mostly 30+ now

Which ones weren't in their prime?

Bryant, Nuef, Gray, Hardrick, Nichols, Holms, Rose, Jefferson, Jeffcoat, Alexander, Biggie, Kramdi (debatable about impact i guess), Wolly, Schoen. The guys you have listed there. Janarion was essentially let go a mistake no doubt, but he didn't take another offer over the bombers. Bombers just didn't offer. Richardson was kind of the same. Walters knew what it would take to keep him and he chose (wrongly again) not to compete. Sayles is overrated imo and is much like Houston. Chunghs replacement was in house already. So that leaves Lawler who came back and admitted he should have never left and Couture.

lets just blame Obama and call it even

If I'm not mistaken, Schoen said that his late signing last year was waiting to see what teams would pay him ABOVE what the bombers had offered. No one came to the table with an offer than blew him away so he came back. Not sure why that would be different this year as I don't see anyone ponying up huge amounts for him after last year.

I don't understand this rumour that Schoen isn't a deep ball threat? lol. WTF have you people been watching? He's made some unbelievable plays on underthrown/challenged deep balls. He's also taken 20 yard catches to the house. He's a threat to score from anywhere on the field. This is not to take anything away from Lawler, who is obviously one of the best. Both will be back.

Thought the Redblacks picked him up. But I'm not sure he every dressed

This math doesn't math....unless the elks just aren't going to replace him.

Why would they get the bag?

I believe Walters has stated a few times that he has an amount allocated to each positional group. So I'm not sure the savings on WR would then transfer to DT or vice versa...not saying it's impossible. I just don't think that's how they work it. And if we're going off that, Wollys $$ will be spent on WR.

Would love to give Rose a shot.

I have direct knowledge of this

I remember hearing he was considering retirement after the last GC win. So maybe he just hangs em up. I can kind of see the reasoning behind this. But it also must mean they're targeting a cnd on Offense via FA right?

Why would the NFL compensate the CFL? Honestly....why would they?

Bighill signing here after coming back from the NFL was nothing short of HUGE! He's been nothing but an amazing leader on and off the field. His involvement in amateur football makes waves with kids everytime he's around. I can't thank that guy enough for his play. And his influence off the field will be felt for a long long time. Whether he realizes it or not. "That's Adam Bighill" heard weekly at U of W by children being introduced to the sport. The guy is a legend.

The 2nd half of the TO game near the end of the season was maybe the best adjustments Buck made in his time here. They came out in the 3rd and marched the ball down the field with quick passes and runs. That's what got them back into that game and I'm completely baffled they went away from that in the GC.

for sure. At the time though, I don't think anyone thought paying those guys was something they needed to do. Could they use them now...absolutely, but no one can see the future.

Yes and no. They were going home...but also getting significant raises that just didn't make sense (for the most part). Would you have been happy to make Chungh the highest paid Oline like BC did? Maybe I'm not remembering properly, but if he wasn't the highest paid he was damn close to it. Couture may have been the only guy on that list they could have realistically gotten. All the others were getting huge raises from (imo) being on a good team that raised their ability. Drew would have been a nice get, but again...I don't think anyone would have been good with making a Guard the highest paid OL even if they weren't already bogged down with other big salaries. I agree that they haven't done a good job of filling the cupboards/giving legit chances to others. But I don't think any of the guys we lost were worth the money they were being offered else. If I'm Tui, and I don't win the job out of TC..I might be looking at asking for my release. Players only have so much time and he can start in this league.

100%. Not something that should be ignored for too long. But I'm doubtful players are looking at those and deciding they don't want to go to wpg because the plane they use to travel isn't great.

I don't know. I think the bigger less agile guys played into his strengths more. I think he may have been less productive against smaller LBs.

wrong

Don't forget signing with some hockey club too....something like that. Anyways...I hope this recent move pushes his ring of honour induction back a decade.

Once a Bomber....ALWAYS a Bombers....ahahahahahaha
