My theory is that they are waiting on one of the other coaches and will announce them as a group.

He's been really durable which would be great for consistency but the question remains can he do it.

Starter's money I could see, that's really the only assurance you have of what the team plans are for you.

By all accounts Cauchy is still getting better. He deserves a chance to show it. I would think Robertson is kind of small for safety where you're expected to bring the hat now and again. I see him as a kick returner, backup DB or potentially receiver if he can catch well enough.

Do we have a need for Cvetkovic? He didn't even play towards the end of the year and I didn't notice him not being there. I worry when guys get up around his age because they get fragile.

For me it was partly that he was a Roughie but I have already forgiven his misguided past. If there had been no Collaros then Willy would have been the jewel of free agency. Only time will tell who is the better of the two. Maybe they'll both be dominant QB's for years to come, that would be nice.

Glad to have Willy. As for Jade I'll say again DRAFT MORE MANITOBA GUYS! Tired of being the Sask farm team.

What will eventually happen is that the Marquee QB's will make way more than any other player and you'll be back to one starter per team. It's always been this way, salary cap or no.

We need a poll but obviously Bombers did the right thing. $400k is too much. Burris did this to us once before when Ritchie was here. He used us for bargaining leverage and signed with Sask that time.

They can if they want both Glenn and DeMarco disgruntled. We all know that when Glenn is not interested he plays like crap. DeMarco will want better than 3rd string reps with an expansion franchise. Wait long enough and Glenn will be free. Calgary already established his trade value last year when he was offered for a second round pick to us. Any more than that will be a robbery at this point.

Why would the Bombers trade for Glenn? Won't he be cut sooner or later?

39 is 39. It HAS to be Burris AND someone else, like Willy. I would think Burris now has very little bargaining power if he still wants to play. We should be able to pay two guys mid level QB money vs paying one guy top starter QB money.

That was the height of the Taman era. He traded almost every high draft pick for a number of years. We pretty well had to take NI's at the time just to patch the holes that had built up over time.

What good will that do? They still have to pay Ray so there's no way they can match.

I never got the love for Aprile. To me he's a decent athlete in search of a position. He's likely a career special teamer.

Did he have a bonus coming due on Feb 1? This is odd.

Kelly Moore from CJOB says Etch is a done deal. Only reason it's not announced yet is because Football ops staff is in Florida for East-West Shrine game.

He had plenty of opportunity to get better and he didn't. I wouldn't worry about him being a star in Ottawa.

It's fine to define what constitutes PI but I'm skeptical it will change very much because we already know what holding is and that is still overlooked virtually every play.

I always thought he was a good coach, not Wylie good mind you. Now at least I know someone else thinks so too.

Bob Irving says Greg Marshall is "in the running". 5:38 Sports this morning.

Ritchieism: It doesn't matter how you start it's how you finish. We're better off with a young gun DC anyway. This year we won't be a veteran team, they can grow together.

So judging from his wanting to stay close to BC we have to assume it was the Lion's decision to part ways after all.

Stubler's D left the middle of the field wide open for Durant in the semi likely costing BC the cup in the process. Dodged a bullet as far as I'm concerned.

I know they thought that Goltz gave up so that's why he wasn't playing. As to why he wasn't cut I can only assume they thought the greater punishment was to spend a cold fall here not playing than to pay out his contract and let him soak up the California sun at home.
