So with the extra $50,000 for Brady, what if they off set it by going American at C? A rookie american makes $80,000 versus Kolo's cost (pretty sure he was at least $130,000). Balances the $ and you're likely better too.

Brady and Demski are our only Canadians who are outstanding.

Tyson Philpot who has never had a 1000 yard season and who has missed 5, 9 and 6 games over the past three seasons got $275,000. Brady was not getting less.

I get the issue with how high Brady's salary is but this deal is not what is going to kill us. If we bring back Jefferson at $200,000, Schoen at $175,000+, Kyrie Wilson at whatever he makes, all three of Holm/Kramdi/Nichols (two are fine), Vaughters at $165,000, Jake and Kolo at any price, aging foot soldiers such as Gauthier and Hallet, Mitchell at $160,000 and J. Jones at whatever he got, that huge amount of deadwood and clinging to aging vets, that's what kills us.

I like Brady and am happy he is back. Plus you have to keep your talent and he's our best offensive player and best Canadian.

The delay feels like last year when nothing was done and they ended up with Hogan who was a bad choice and possibly a last resort.

It would be nice to get an OC announcement this week or at least confirmation that Hogan will not be back.

I'm only responsible for good stuff like championships and sold out games. The bad stuff is because of somebody else.

Cantin-Arku replaces Sankey?

Why?

Guys, its the fault of Shelbyville.

I'd take Powell out of Hamilton as a backup QB. Thought he looked ok a few years ago.

So you don't want to chip in for a gift for Jake when he hangs up his cleats?

Hopefully Bo got a raise to at least $600,000.

If there is no limit on marketing money, we should give Brady 200,000 (if he's coming back on a 300,000 deal) and give Zach something similar. Exploit that rule because we have the money.

If there is no limit on market money, the Bombers should use it extensively. Club has been making bank the past few years.

Glad that we've signed younger guys in Lawson and Wilson.

What if $150, 000 to $200,000 of that is marketing $?

I'm a huge fan of Brady but 300,000 per year seems like too much at first glance.

So we have our first player signing (well extension) in Pokey Wilson. This is exciting as its locking up a good, young player, not a old boys club member.

Wonder how much Cody got.

Wait, so we're not signing anybody today? Mr. Garvey will not be doing intros at PAS next year? This day stinks.

Hutchings is an American.

I like Nield as a depth wr but Gittens Jr over him for sure.
