Where’s our Riders suck thread? That’s a thread worth making.

I would say salary cap more then ratio. Tough to justify the big dollars to a guard but no denying his talent. If the price is right I’d love him back here. He just solidifies our offensive line when he’s in the line up.

People are going to be really disappointed when Manziel puts up ordinary numbers..

Montreal is going to be god awful this year. Worst ran organization in the league.

His partnership with Barstool sports is EQUALLY important to him playing pro football so that just shows where his mindsets at. Talented and exciting player but I didn’t see guys like Troy Smith who won the Heisman light up the CFL. He’s going to have to put the work in and compete against Masoli who has slowly gotten better and better each year.

Surprised Jake Thomas is still available. I assume he wants starter money when in reality he's better suited to be a rotational player.

Good move. We have a scary deep forward core. Having Stastny replace Copp on our third line is huge.

Played team Manitoba with Thomas Miles. The guy is a beast. Really quick for his size too. Good ST guy, and maybe could fit somewhere in the rotation but I couldn't ever see him being a serviceable every down LB in the the CFL.

Last season people were saying they'd kill to have a MLB like Henoc be available. I think we need to find the money to make this work. He's not just a good player who happens to be Canadian. He's a great player who is absolutely a ratio buster.

6-3-1 at home is fine. It's tough having 10 games at home in a row. You tend to get complacent and it feels less of a home advantage.

We're certainly not cutting Dressler, and I'd be surprised if we cut Fogg or Wild. Only because we just signed them. That's bad business and I don't think the Blue Bombers organization operates in that way. I think we have the space for him if not maybe someone minor is a cap casualty.

It's funny how Demski, and Muamba are now overrated and not worth the money but they were both stars all season long in the eyes of Rider fans. Pretty laughable the way they treat ex players.

Montreal has to over pay. Just like we did in 14 because we didn't have the reputation of a top notch franchise. It's actually too soon to say who won. It's usually some of the smaller moves a few days down the line that end up making a difference.

100 percent. I was wondering why things were quiet with Reed and Woods in the market. If we could get Muamba I'd give Walters an A for free agency.

Good price for Messam. He's clearly lost a step in the past year but used accordingly he'll be a good pick up.

We need to show Henoc the money. Puzzling fortune of events for the Riders but we need to be all over this. The upgrade from Hurl to Muamba is substantial and this could be the move to put our team over the top.

Tanev can skate, play defense, and hit. We all know Tanevs limits on offense, but all Thorburn can do is take a punch.

Hendricks and Tanev are miles better then Thorburn ever was.

I love the fact that we can have talented players on all four lines, with guys who can also come in and not skip a beat and play our bottom six. Long gone are the days of Thorburn, Peluso, Glass, etc wasting roster spots and being an anchor on whatever line they were on.

Yes I get the ratio and the fact that Wilder is on a rookie contract but close to six figures for a back up Canadian Runningback.. I think the money could used more efficiently.

I get the ratio but pretty crazy a player like Wilder gets 50 k and a back up running back makes 80k.

Well let's just say they're not taking much of a home town discount. .

He's nearly 80..

Ran the short yardage/jumbo package perfectly! Just couldn't throw the football over 10 yards.

I don't think he was overly that great last season either. I was a big fan but he was a step slower last season, and took some bad penalties.
