Walters does have a pretty good track record of picking up players from other teams.

Players are looking for and should get the most money out of their short careers. Every team going right now would drop them (except our boy Jake) without hesitation to get better at their spot, and that's with a signed contract.

They've already signed more FA players than the last 3 off seasons combined

So what's everyone's take on Jake Thomas? Feel like we've barely scratched the surface with that discussion.

Competition is never a bad thing

18 for sure he had a solid cast around him. Not like Dukes though. 2019 is a bit of different story. There were lots of ups and downs during that season and the team didn't really become what would lead to the most dominating defense in CFL history, until the playoffs. Strevelers was slowly being turned into what he is now at that point though. He hasn't ever played with the offensive talent that Dukes has outside of some OL and RB. Also...Streveler is 4-8 as a starting CFL QB....I'm not sure what Dukes record is but it's gotta be right around that

Fun fact - 10 yrs ago today the Goat of Goats #66 on the field but #1 in your hearts, Stanley Bryant signed with the struggling WPG Blue Bombers, starting the path that would lead to the creation of an absolute CFL powerhouse team, the likes of which hadn't been seen in decades!! Just a ******* LEGEND!!

Not that I'd ever want that....but I'm honestly not sure Fajardo would ever come play for a team whos fans mocked him so much.

I somehow missed that lol

What a **** game. Well done eagles, but entertainment wise....booooooring!!

I'm still excited to see Wilson get better. I thought he did well in season when called on...I don't think he completed a pass in the GC but I remember liking his pocket presence.

Wilson

I like Mitchell too, but i'm more excited about White. He could be a huge deep ball threat if he's able to get back into form.

Yeah we have a lot of unknown right now, which is why I'm not too keen on the group overall. But I think their ceiling is higher than last year (even with a healthy Lawler/Schoen).

You think the ceiling is lower? If Mitchell and White can be who they've been in the past I think this core has the potential to be our best in quite a while

You think BOLO joins a team as depth again?

Yeah the WR group has too many, "could be really good" options, that could very well turn into a bunch of mediocre options.

If there's an opportunity to take a shot at the Bombers (regardless of who is in charge) Friesen will take it. I stopped believing anything he writes about the CFL/Bombers a long time ago and that hasn't changed.

I would find it hard to believe teams found out about this today like we are. I'm guessing this has been in the works for at least a few weeks.

That's according to farhan

Dang when did that happen? I play with Dakotas QB in a beer league and he seems pretty pumped for the up coming season.

Ryhmes to CGY

haha yeah they usually have strong teams. I coached against them last year in the Atom division. They had a kid on defense that was just an absolute beast. We still won, but man that kid made it difficult.

Solid organization
