How good would SJ Green look in a Bomber uniform 

The fact Lafrance is making over six figures for the Rough Riders is hilarious.

I wouldn't play football for 50K, either.  That's immaterial, though. He signed a two-year contract with the Argonauts, knowing what the terms were at the time. Just because he was perhaps more desperate a year ago doesn't mean he shouldn't be expected to honour that contract, much less go public with his disgruntlement.

I normally agree with honouring your contract.. However in the CFL since contracts aren't guaranteed he and others can be thrown to the curb at any moment. If GM's don't have to honour their contracts then I don't so much blame Wilder. He signed a contract to prove himself. He played great.. Pay the man what he deserves or let him chase his dream in the NFL like any other good organization would do.

Blech, hard to imagine he's here for under $200k.  Value for money, not.

Not a chance he's here for that much. 

I like Spencer but adding another 5'8 receiver would be a little concerning.. I'd rather take a flyer on Ernest Jackson. 6'2, proven player, had an off year in Montreal but if the price is right I think he would be a great addition. 

I love Bond and he deserves to be paid but in our current cap situation I don't think it's plausible to be paying big money for an American Guard. If he was a tackle he would be locked up by now.. but regardless he's going to get paid and he's going to be a huge upgrade to what ever team he goes to.

Wow, sounds like the Als just signed Josh Freeman.

Freeman is done.

As per 3rddown,

 

TJ Heath isn't happy with how negotiations are proceeding on his new contract.  

 

hopefully this is a blip and they hash it out, I'd hate to lose Heath.  one of the brighter stars on that side of the ball.

I wouldn't be upset if we didn't bring Heath back. Wouldn't want to break the bank for him and if we can get Randle and Leggett back instead I wouldn't be ok on us walking on Heath. He's a good play maker and has good instincts on the ball but gets beat way too much. He has the sexy stats but if he's looking for elite money the Bombers won't give it to him because his flaws can be exposed on film. For the right price I'd like him back but I doubt he signs based on what he thinks his value is based on numbers compared to what he's actually worth. 

If Collaros doesn't take a pay cut this is going be quite the risky move for the Riders considering he's never played more than 13 regular season games, is one of the highest paid players in the league, and hasn't looked good in over 2 seasons.

That was 2007.  He had games with double digit sacks in 06 and was awful in general.

Still had almost 5000 passing yards, completed 63 percent of his passes with 20 TD's.. a down year for him sure but not awful.

Calvillo?  He looked finished in 2006.

His wife had cancer, he never looked awful with happy feet, and his numbers still weren't that bad. Happy feet is all mental which in turns hurts mechanics, which then hurts timing and positioning.. it's a domino effect and it's pretty much an issue that can't be fix. Look at Drew Willy in the first half of 2014 compared to the 16,17 season and its day and night difference. I'm under the assumption that it's nearly impossible to fix.

The poll on CFL.ca right now asks "Will James Franklin play for the Argos in 2018?"

91% of the fans say no. I bet about 90% of the vote is desperate Rider fans. We will find out soon enough.

They discovered internet in Regina about a decade ago and they've been insufferable ever since!

Moron states his opinion on social media. Nothing to see here folks..

Wouldn't you be too if your team has only won 4 championships in a century?

what a persistent clown.  why does he even bother anymore.   I`m beginning to think borderline mental illness.

Funny you say that. I was thinking the same thing.

If I were you, I wouldn’t quote Steve Morley for anything you want to be meaningful. I liked Morley as a player, but as someone who “knows” what he’s talking about, you might as well listen to a Rider fan. 

Well let's not get carried away now..

That duo made it further in the playoffs than the Bombers & were one play away from beating the eventual champs.  

But you & I both know that duo won’t be leading the Riders this upcoming season.  

Beating Ottawa doesn't impress me very much. You would have lost to Edmonton too. Hahahaha yeah keep hoping and praying for Franklin.

As a Riders fan I sure hope so. 

Hahahaha because the Rider duo of a 50 year old Glenn, and the unproven Bridge scare the rest of the league. 

I wonder if we would be interested in having Durant here in Winnipeg as a back up providing the price is right ofcourse. 

We'll see what Sherman's all about. Easy to look good with a hall of fame QB. Still only 2-4 in the post season with some very good Greenbay Packer teams.. as an  OC in Houston and Miami he was around middle to worst in terms of offense.. still better then Gary fricking Crowton. Next up the Als need a QB or Sherman's stay won't be very long.

Dave Naylor leaning toward Gary Crowton as HC/OC for Als in 2018.....also, 

@TSNDaveNaylor
More @MTLAlouettes coaching news. According to sources former CFL QB Kerry Joseph was contacted about OC job, but is not coming to Mtl. Much speculation that Rich Stubler is front-runner as DC based on relationship with GM Kavis Reed. #CFL #Als

Gary ******* Crowton? This has Macks dirty hands all over it. 

I would if any GM in their right mind skill for skill would take O'Donnell over Bond. My thoughts.. probably not. 

I've never seen so much outrage and discussion over a 300 yard receiver, who averaged less than 10 yards a catch.. he quit on the team, time to move on and let it go. He was never going to be a Milt Stegall. 

Most depressing thread ever..

 I think my GF just may be the one
