Booch

yup....and what we likely had on table....good for him on soaking the Riders and bidding them up...as there were others interested....too funny tho....Man Rider management is brutal...I sure on Riderfans the see it as fleecing us ahahaha

oh my...hhahaha...what an over pay....so funny only way they can aquire established talent...and As much as I love Yosh...what a bad bad contract....Atta boy Oday!!....keep it coming nailed it! good luck Riders QB's with that well...they have now over paid to have the highest paid olineman....Over payed to pay Lanier as the highest paid defensive player...which is amother joke...may as well over pay for Betts as highest paid Canadian/Defensive player haha...what a clown show....love it! Gray should be outside.....not sure if he ready fulltime yet.....But withRichmond and the new guy from U of Hawaiii...we more than fine there with a starter and back up

yup...making the smart moves to not hamstring us...tho tough....same with Houston...no need to pay top dollar when we have better in house for cheaper

For him to lave....believe me had to be a money issue...and Ssk paid a ransom. Is this the yr too, that he falls off the cliff....could be said he was on it last yr, guys with his body make-up...especially at a position requiring some speed and finesse at that age tend to decline...fast o become injury magnets....super glad he getting bank tho! Walters is a smart G.M and once it got to be not worth the price tag he walke away....good on him, and we have adequate replacement with Richmond, and the guy from Hawaii as well we just signed I see much the same going to happen withBO.....and effectively now, you can give that 175k we likely would have sent to Yosh toward Schoen. as Yosh replacement will be under 90k

Yeah....he will bring vet leadership to that group....but its a weak group...not sure him out on the edge is gonna be the magic elixir there....but glad he gets paid....and we all know its likely a hefty tag

yes....u can mull the offers...agree to one as it is binding...after window of tampering closes your old team can match/beat if they choose.....then player can pick where he wants to be

Poor Yosh.....Guess its Richmond time...free's up some money for Schoen..... Yup...they likely paid large for it as they were not the only team in on him...and yes he is on wrong side of dominant now....Richmond will be no drop off....Cheaper for next few yrs....and allows us some cash to move to another position

I think they are under belief that the Argos wont be matching the Ottawa numbers...so he will sign there, unless another team steps up and knocks Ott down a peg I do see Barlow possibly being here tho

Ford will be a player.....curious to see where we put him

this belief guys will follow a former co-ordinator...from a good team...to a dumpster rarely occurs....especially when the dumpster is sitting in Regina....

they all are...just wait and see haha...

not counting new recruits, but with holdovers we have, Parker is our best all-around DB next to Nichols and look forward to even more progression from him...Glad we are moving on from Houston...Desmond Lawrence should have been in ahead of him....is he still under contract?

Behar has use on ST....Offence....he's not in decline....thats the difference...I said shed players who are not up to par....and blocking young guys.....Behar is none of those...we have no young player at receiver thats being blocked, and Behar is good replacement for the loss of BOLO....Murphy on our roster is the only other Canadian....and he's not gonna be a world beater....anytime soon....if ever

nope....but I do hope they continue as is hahahaha

works for me as well...and have an inkling we will be scooping up an Argo defender too........

thats soley my point...One stupid GM wont upset the apple cart....nobody else followed suit...same with dumbdumb in Regina...big overpay for Lanier...yet better players in that position made significantly less....and he goes and does it again....Idiot

been saying all along...he will be here...and unless BO takes a team friendly but fair boost in salary, he will be the victim

yup...One G.M can thro a wrench in things, but if he the only one...he cant sign all the guys, so the others will have to take whats offered..it will re-balance...Receiver already is rebalancing....and will be interesting to see what high end guys top out at

Is that a for sure...or speculation? Wonder what his ask would be, and if T.O or anyone for that matter will match it....or offer comparable

you also dont factor in player attrition thru career ending injury...age out...play decline...etc....its an ever evolving entity. I see your point but, but your thinking is also maintaining the current roster set up indefinately...which wont happen, so onus is on the G.M's to not get caught up spending like drunken sailors like decades past...where they almost bankrupt's everyone....Players can only make what a G.M is gonna pay, or they won't play.....the smart G.M's will construct a roster the smart way...spreading it around effectively, and work within the constrains of the SMS and having an excluded Marquis player...the dumb ones...Like Jones will do like he has...splurged on 1 guy...maybe two...and well you see what happens there, compared to whats happened here...Walters has price constriants for positions and sticks to them, and if yiuo dont fit..aka Harris...Casey Sayles...Stove...BO....I could go on...well you are sent packing....

so...Demski should be cut as he is older...Lawler being the same age, is kinda guy we should cut? By that age logic thats what you are kind of saying... Every player deals with injuries....but people here are whining about Canadian depth and character guys...I recall when he stood up for teammates when Masolli was cheap shotted and knocked out how people here all said thats the kind of guys who would fit in and flourish here. If we could get him on a nice team friendly deal I would definately bring him in...versatile receiver for depth who also likes to do the dirty work...we may lose Bolo soley because he wants a place to start, and wont get that here for at least 2 yrs yet, so Behar a vet...with skill/experience would serve well for a yr...2

Adds 600k extra ...or puts 600k back into the sms....600k that can be spread all over for contracts...how u not getting that? Yup...bang for buck....where u allocate...and what positions require a higher price point

G.M's aren't dumb...or shouldnt be...U offer what works...and stay in your decided budget...and if u have a guy who wants to "reset" the market for 300k...but u can get 2 ..legit difference maker starters for that...maybe 2 and change for something else...then u do that everyday and make your team deeper...Agents don't set the market the GM's due... And as long as you don't have an idiot GM then things are just fine... Think of it as in stocks. The GMs are the market maker. They set the price... Agents are just brokers looking for bid and ask ... If the ask isn't there then they have to take the bid

How??...U and many are bemoaning right now its one of Schoen..or BO....Or cant pay Schoen in range of Lawler....but remove ZC salary as your Marquee exemption...and then it becomes a non issue and more than easily done...and no wages don't go up ...or have to....If you want to be dumb, and put yourself right back in that same situation and pay foolishly for one guy...and again cant keep a second guy...well thats your own stupidity Players can only make what they are offered, and when they realize they wont get the stars and the moon, and this is their only meal ticket...they will accept the best offer

Yup...cause they are very happy with their interior online with Godber..Ferland And Blake...as he has claimed....and their crappy QB room ..so they have the cash to burn hahaha
