So BANE gets 170/175k over 2 yrs from the Riders....would think that a mid level contract dollar wise for a 4th yr guy now who had a break out yr...Now what does that set a ceiling at for a guy going into yr 3 with 2 top the league seasons?....100k a year more?....

If we are shaving Gray...Jeffcoat...Thomas...Briggs...Miller...Gauthier...Rose..Darby...possibly Yoshi....we have more than enough to bring back Schoen when we fill out the roster The fact we havnt extended Jake yet makes one think we moving on and Lawson gets lions share of Canadian DT reps...which works just fine for me

Said it before...and will again....will be shocked if he plays elsewhere this yr....don't see it happening

it does in what you are getting and ease of having to replace his production tho...I think paying the top 2 guys combined on your team if u have 2 studs around 550...600k is the new norm

Curious if they go after Schoen...Whitehead is likely out...Hatcher prob wont be back till very late into season....they Punted Rhymes...I bet they are the ones we be seeing big money from....they did it before with Lucky...also Lawler but he spurned them

The Tenderizer

yup....and BC has a lot of things to fix/augment...we dont

They don't...Walters will go on record and say "this is what we could afford as to now disrupt the roster esewhere"....and say "this is what BO wanted"....and thats that I think he pulled in 205k ONE YR.....But not that 235k NUMBER

180k...Max...Anything more just isnt worth it when you can go import at the position...he's also a back he needs a lot of touches....and won't give u that homerun strike fro 40....50 yards out

more than delusional...250k is delusional

Williams re-upped in Ottawa...one less place for BO to get that big bag he wants

I'd be game for that..Carey would rip it up here....I yr deal while the rookie gets his feet wet

Strev was only gonna sign here basically unless someone blew their wad on him....He helped the team out now, for compensation later...He's as solid a FIFO guy there is, and he will get his here....

We get Kongbo or Bennet...along with Ford as that NFL pipe dream has sailed we have nice defensive versatility and no need for the RB position to be Canadian....I never heard the 300k number...Ihad heard the 250k was his line in the sand...Can't see it happening....But some team may be stupid enough. I dont want him here for anything more than 180k Maxed out....I'd throw the 250k at Schoen, with a 3 yr deal and big increase yr 3 with guaranteed cash, and let BO's Agent know we have 180k for him.....if and when he ready to sign...If not Oullette welcome aboard, or we go fresh faced import for less than half that 180 and throw the balance at a defensive stud in FA

I'd like to see Ford ..Kramdi or player X who is Canadian battle for that spot and best player get it ..not who's been here longer or who "works hard" in practice...as they should all be or they should be gone. If Holmie is back he's your safety ..we don't need a heavy hitter there...need a guy to track and close on balls in the air. Work with 3 online and Demski and Woli as your nationals on offense...A Canadian SAM and a Canadian rotating on the DLine... Lawson is a lock...hopefully one of Mason Bennett or Kongbo can be the other guy..

Winner

every damn spot should be up for competition...and if it isn't and best player gets it, then something is seriously flawed...nothing should be given in football...it has to be earned..then maintained

I mentioned the savings there....those are all three guys north of 100k....same with miller...broke it down a while back with i think 7 vets dumped and replaced at entry level or second yr deals from another teams guy coming off first yr contracts frees us up over 300k alone There is a lot of cheddar to shave without really ousting key vets....Jeffcoat I love, but age now and ability to be a force all yr make him expendable..I like Haba...I see Garbutt as even better....and we will bring in new blood too We paid/pay a lot to ST only guys who offer nothing but teams work...and thats going to change....and our draft strategy as well needs to evolve

was gonna say...he won't get anywhere near that this time around..

yeah...we have money...it's bang for buck decisions, and where to allocate bigger buck's that aren't necessarily easier to replace. Thats why I see Schoen signed at expense of BO....unless there is a major shift occuring. And as @Mike said we shedding money in several areas....and with all the draft picks, ST guys on 3rd and fourth deal will be snipped, as well as a few vets. Just hope tho with our picks we pick actual guys who project to more than teams....that philosophy has hampered our over all depth of late, as we were flush with aged teamers, but ones who couldn't really do much more than that

If that the case I'd have given Bladek that money....serves more use than Kolo ZC needs to use this more...but I agree with that tho...Oullette is an excellent check down

ZC has taken a beating the last yr and for a good part of 2022....from being unscathed basically all his other time here...who was center when all that started?....a lot of issues from an O-line start from inside out, but may appear others are losing in their assignments....some here know what I talking about, and what is the common denominator in the poundings....

dont know it all...but know a lot...more than most here....not bragging....just a fact

you make lousy takes on your "opinion" as well, but people take it for what it is...and move on....learn that trait

some see it........and some dont
