They have, we have actually....many times. The SMS year runs to Jan. 2 I believe each year. Anytime you see big signings of extensions late in the season, or right up to January you are seeing teams looking to spend unused cap before the SMS deadline. As a general rule, unless teams really get decimated by long term injuries this amount is only a couple hundred thousand max but all teams try to use up current cap to offset future cap.

It is all when the money is actually paid. If we signed Collaros to a 3 year 550k contract but paid him 200k up front as a signing bonus his future cap hit is 200k less because of what we paid now. I would imagine we paid him every dollar we could to the SMS limit as an up front signing bonus with that money counting against this year's cap. Given the amount of guys we have had do full terms on the 6 game that signing bonus was likely pretty substantial and would reduce his AAV in the next 3 years.

End of the regular season. I would think that these 5 guys were definitely not going to see the field this year so we sent them home. Wouldn't suprise me to see some of them back in camp next year.

Osh, Walters, etc will be right behind once the season ends. They were talking about it last week apparently. lmao. I never heard it myself, just going off comments on twitter by Rider fans.

But I heard he had a strong relationship with JOD still and was going to listen attentively to the Riders offer. lmao

It is a tremendous extension. Using up our unused cap space I am sure.

I would think we should see some guys coming off IR shortly.

but...but...the guys on Sportscage said the Riders were going to make him an offer he couldn't refuse this offseason. Guess ZC wanted to end any chance of that in a hurry.

I just about crapped my pants when I saw that. Possibly the stupidest comment I've heard from a Rider fan, so you know that is some next level stupidity. We literally placed more recruits on the CFL All Star team last year than any other team placed from their entire roster.

Migs says we did not face adversity with our injuries so they don't count.

We haven't lost a single man game to injury of a decent player this year apparently. Luckiest run in the history of pro football. Don't count.

Goof Migs is over at Riderfans stating the Bombers haven't lost a single decent starter to injury this year. Maston and Couture don't count because apparently Maston hasn't played in a long time and Couture isn't a starter.

If I wanted advice on war, a war monger's advice is exactly who I would be seeking.

Honestly I came into that game expecting a loss, however, now that we lost I'm kind of upset that we lost because we were the better team imo.

I don't ever want a coach that excuses losing. If you are part of our team you get paid to win. I like that mindset.

TB is a closet Lion fan and commentary on anything Lions related should be ignored.

Yes...We absolutely waxed them with Rourke fully healthy..on a bum foot it would be a blow out. I don't have to be a doctor to know there is zero chance Rourke can return at 100%.

Shut up with your Rourke and BC Lion man crush already. This is a Bomber forum. Nauseating really. People are concerned that a player with a injury that generally takes 6-8 months to heal may be risking his career by coming back in 10 weeks. One does not have to have a medical degree to connect those dots.

As long as it isn't Molson Pilsner you can drink what you want as far as I am concerned.

Carey better learn to play in the cold weather then because he hasn't been good playing in the cold so far in his career.

I agree. McCrae kinda demonstrated why he would be ahead of Harrison. Dude plays receiver quite well. He might be listed as a RB but he certainly has receiving chops as well. Who is to say it wasn't a coin flip between him and McCrae by the coaches, It's quite possible they only went with McCrae because at the time Demski was out and they wanted that kind of versatility....and then McCrae just ran with it at receiver and Harrison gets parked. Next to Demski, McCrae is our most versatile offensive player...I can totally see why he would get the nod over Harrison even if they were equal in receiving talent.

Mother Nature and the football gods are the only playoff opposition I fear.

They won't be here playing imo.

I'm guessing he didn't want to be on the PR. Might not be the last we see of him. If no one else picks him up, I could see him potentially being in TC next year.

We kicked the crap out of a Rourke led BC Lions once, and if we have to do it again I am confident the score won't be much different....and that was on a short week as well. I'm more concerned about Calgary than I am about BC....and I'm not all that worried about Calgary. The only team that worries me is the Winnipeg Blue Bombers not showing up ready to play because imo that's the only way we lose unless extreme weather evens the playing field.
