B-F-F-C

I'm still a fan of Mike O'Shea and believe he deserves more time to right the ship.  He just needs to be surrounded by the best coaches available due to his inexperience.  Plus I don't know of an assistant coach out there that I'd rather have as a head coach.

As much as I'd like to see Walker on our team, I don't see our season's success hinging on him signing here. If he wants to be part of what we have here, great. If not, great. We have a great team either way. 

We really need to let this thread die until a decision is made either way.

Could we seriously keep this thread to talking about Walker? Or at least keep it to spin off conversations about Walker. 
 
 

I think she's a woman.You sound like Donald Trump.

Kim might have have the inside scoop.  I know she no longer works for the club but given her prior position with the club. She probably built some close friendships with the players wives and girlfriends.  Especially those that were living in town with their husbands/boyfriends.

Walter's understands it.  You can never have enough quality Cdn O linemen.  It's amazing how this franchise has turned around from the days we struggled to find enough quality starting  Cdn's.

Seeing Rider fans on vacation is the worst. No other team's fan base will go out of their way to ruin another fan's vacation more than the Riders

He will be a short tenured NFL guy, based pretty much on what I assume he will be used for..I would confidently say that if he does stick for a year or two, and then uses up his PR time, and NFL usefulness vs price tag he will come back here, as a more seasoned QB and lead this team for several years....look at it as the NFL developing him for us while we roll with Zack for a year or 2 and develoip McGuire..who know's..McGuire may flourish and Strev becomes his change of pace back-up

So the Winnipeg Sun is reporting that it'll take north of $250k to sign Willie Jefferson.  That's alot of money.   Worth it mind you but damn that's going to hurt.   WJ came to play when it counted but there were also a handful of games where he wasn't the same dominating player that he was in the play offs.  Apparently he as paid $210k last year so really a $50k - $60k bump should get it done.    
But will that hurt us from possibly signing Streveler should he go to the NFL but get released at the end of camp?  Ditto to the other defensive players that also went to the NFL. 
Do we pay him the extra money?  Of course we do and hope Walters can do his magic and maybe sign 1 of our possible NFL returnees. 

Holy crap Batman!  Collaros was a major factor in getting to and winning the GC.  We've seen that you can't win without a great QB and the money and structure of the contract is a moot point.     Smarter minds than any of us who are familiar with the minute intricacies of CFL contracts are OK with it.  So why are we questioning it?

Isn't this what most of us wanted>?   So why the concern?  Injuries happen in football and you can't predict them.  Look at BLM last year.
I think this is the biggest signing of the off season and if we didn't sign him with the huge upfront money.  Some other team would have.  I'm glad it was us and not the Argos.
