Just because others looked invisible too is not a reason to keep him. Garbutt was here two years, and did nothing when given an opportunity. Was it too small a window of opportunity? Maybe...but that's life in pro sports. You gotta shine when your number is eventually called. He didn't.

Garbutt looked good at times but invisible a lot as well. Hopefully, our recruiters have identified someone better.

Might be right about Lawler, but I doubt Logan makes a difference one way or another. He'd be fairly cheap and is likely here primarily due to his return skills. If there was a signing that signalled we might lose one of our big 2 receivers it was Mitchell. Honestly, I think that was a very under rated signing as well. He had an off year last year in the Elks offence, but is a potential 1000 yard guy in our offence. Dalton has said he feels he'll be ready for TC.

We need to avoid shiny baubles and make sure our OL and DL return to being dominant again. Everything else will sort itself out if we do that. Jake Ceresna would be a great fit for our 3-4 defence

I'm OK with that if it means not signing bad contracts Apparently, and if so they are nuts.

Holy crap..that's insane Hervey doing it right tho. They can't fix QB right now anyway.

Zac needs receivers who kno where Zac wants to go when he is off script. The guy is stellar when he's in the lineup..just hasn't happened enough to justify the dollars

I am hoping Schoen will be 100 but we gotta hedge our bets I doubt that's the problem. We got the tools to make any half decent OC look good. Might be cash strapped for the position.

I don't know what to make of it and just firing **** against the wall

It is very odd. About the only explanation I can think of is we have our guy and for some reason can't announce it yet, or we are waiting for someone and can't make it official yet. The longer this goes the more I'm starting to think it's Lapo and we are letting him fulfill some contract obligations first?

Gotta be honest, that whole team was a tire fire. Tough to know whose play suffered from others and who just sucked

Yea we need Lawler but it has to be with a shave

For sure. I agree 100

Love Lawler but think we may lose him and I understand completely if Walter's won't show him the money again. We haven't got value for his pay the last 2 years. He likely has a very similar contract to Schoen in front of him. He can choose to be here and take an incentive laden contract that will require he bets on himself or take the money and run I guess. You can't regret what was fair market rate after the fact. But I agree that there appears to have been a reset. Too bad that didn't happen a year or two earlier

Vaughters is very similar DE to Jeffcoat in style of play. Not sure what he's got in the tank, but I like the move. Last year the Stamps DL was on the field a lot and got worn out imo

Fine by me. If all the big name FAs go East it's the next best thing to them signing here.

I don't think that any player needs to convince their GM to throw the kitchen sink at Schoen. Teams will go after him hard if he makes it to FA. Who have we struggled to retain outside of leaving to the NFL?

No one is saying that Schoen isn't a deep threat. Just that Lawler is better at it.

Yea, Schoen is more productive and reliable than Kenny. Kenny will make the highlight reel snag at a key moment of the game. That's the choice the Bombers will be making if they can't get them both.

How many games has Lawler played the last 2 years. If your argument is that Schoen isn't worth it because of reliability then the argument has to be the same for Lawler. Now, I agree that if we can only have one then Lawler should be our pick but I disagree with your premise as to why. Lawler is just a better big play receiver, while Schoen is the more consistently productive one. Six of one, half a dozen of the other, but my personal bias is towards the big play guy. Doesn't make it the right pick but I can choose my favorite, just as you have.

It fits.

That was based on Stronson at Riderfans rumor and as everyone knows he is full of crap.

Appears that way and I get it from an overall perspective. However, I don't think this is an either/or situation SMS wise. Woli was banged up most of last year, never did play at 100% after his injury and it seemed to linger. Woli was adjudicated on the merits of his contract, health, and replaceability. We moved on. It happens. He was a fan fave because of the quality of guy he is, but as a football player he was average at best and we have a guy that looks like he deserves a lot more reps in our offence at his position playing on a rookie deal. Was Drew's contract something that was over the top? Not even remotely. Therefore, I am thinking the Bombers feel as though we have or will have better options for the money.

My bad....I missed that. Great news.

Love to get Bede if we can't get Sergio back. Monster leg.
