He made 305 last year. He isn’t going to be had for 250 unfortunately.

Guarantee you the Riders over paid to get him and he’ll be making as much if not more then CF was making this season you can bet on that. With the way the market is shaping up it’s looking like another season with a terrible o-line for the Riders, Knowing the state of the franchise I think this is a last ditch effort on O’day to keep his job.

I guess you can argue that however, BC and Edmonton threw around a ton of money on day one last year too.

Gotta rely on our scouting department to fill some of those holes. Can’t always be free agent Day one winners. Teams that over spend in free agency are rarely playing in November.

Our X factor is back baby !!!

Well he’s played 13 and 12 games in the last two seasons. In a full season he would have easily had two, thousand yard seasons easily. Like I said I think he has even another level he can take his game. It would be a big big loss losing Demski in his prime.

Really wouldn’t be too happy. Demski is a Swiss Army knife who I still believe has another gear,he’s close to really becoming a dominant player plus his passport makes him to me more valuable then almost any American receiver in the league. I don’t really see a scenario where we get Lewis or Lawler cheaper then what Demski is going to get so unless Demski doesn’t want to be here I would rather just use the money on him.

Well I guess it depends.. Ellingson has been the better player when healthy but he’ll be 35 by the team the CFL season is over in 2023. I guess I can’t really see a scenario where a 34 year old is going to get less injury prone, I would rather roll the dice on Wieneke who was outstanding in 2021.

Agreed. He’s also 6’4 he would be a great deep ball target for ZC8

Depends. If they command 300 k each I would rather let another team over bid.

What do you think the thread name “Non Bombers news” means?

He’s not a top QB though.. maybe before his injury but in my opinion he’s a middle of the road guy at best. Curious to see what will happen, Statistically Calgary had the best o-line in the league and a good running game to keep them honest, Hamilton has neither so far.

500 k is way too much at this point in his career for Mitchell, and with the draft picks this could be eventually considered a fleecing by Calgary down the road. Remember Hamilton has an absolutely terrible O-line he’s not going to be protected like he was in Calgary.

Our return game was non existent when he was injured. I for one appreciate him tremendously haha!

I’m not sure if I like that rule. Sure I look continuity, but we’re going to see less young guys get a shot because of the advantage a team gets to stick with the vet that’s been on the same club for the last 3 plus years.

Come on Mike it’s not like he’s 38 he just turned 30 in October, more importantly doesn’t have a lot of mileage on his body, he’s a good football player had 17 sacks last year and was constantly doubles teamed. Would have taken him over Jeffcoat at this stage in their careers absolutely.

Can we leave the covid talk in the general forum in the proper forum? There’s been non stop covid talk for nearly 3 years now. None of what is being said here is new, news. I come to the Bomber forum to discuss football not being dragged into a political debate. If you want to talk about covid there’s active threads going on, let’s get back on track and use this thread to talk about the Blue and Gold. Go Blue!!

Bighill was just fine once Alexander came back from injury. He was playing deeper and in coverage a lot more when Alexander was out and I think it messed up his pursuit angles. He was very good down the stretch, vintage Bighill once he was able to play where he normally plays.

We could only hope 😁

Elks in my opinion at the very least leap frog over the rough riders. I hate to say it but Jones brought in some good players that showcased their talent in the last half of the season. I guess ultimately it will depend on their QB play whether or not they can become real contenders but I have them out of the basement in the west so far.

Let’s hope rider management feels like Craig Dickenson is in the upper echelon or coaching as well. A three year extension is in order!

Heck we never got to play Ottawa period. I thought it was bush league.

I smell a last place finish, like some of the players Jones brought in by the end of the season it’s safe to say Saskatchewan will be in the bottom of the basement unless things change drastically.

Wouldn’t surprise me. A lot of guys are banged up down the stretch.

Rose was just fine, he was hurt early in the season but was quite good down the stretch. Sure he gets beat deep occasionally but he’s an agressive DB it’s going to happen, especially when you’re covering the best receivers. As soon as Alexander was back our secondary was just different.
