Oh yeah Kenny is 2 yrs....forgot...that being said Schoen will likely be in a 200 to 250k range for his second deal I would guess, and likely a good 1/3rd of that at minimum going against this yrs cap...Will some team offer more...likely....but who's that team and where they headed?...big pieces to the equation....and Schoen has seen how guys here work, and what they take in salaries to allow the team to be continually successful, and he seems like he is the same type of guy, so I would be totally shocked if he just took the highest bidder.... we have at least 600k Saved to go toward 2024....and yeah Edm is straddled with guarantees money in a lame duck QB...which won't help them, and is Lewis a multi yr deal?...he and Dunbar both are making prob almost 470k between them...and look how that has panned out...same as last yr paying a WR 300k with a dirt cheap QB salary...they cant do that now I see no issue with this team keeping who they want to keep....it may take a couple vets not being re-upped, but won't be key vets by any means

If you can't find quality import o-lineman your scouting staffs need to be revisited, and thats why quality O-lineman who are Nationals will cost a pretty penny, tho some teams have way over spent (BC..OTT...EDM) but sometimes you need to to get a guy in those early stages of a build. We had to with Bryant, and then some good drafting got us a pipeline of Centers to build out from....thats how you do it....That way you only really need to go out and find 1 interior guy to bring it together and save SMS as you build rest from the draft. Bryant then subsequent trade for Neufeld allowed us to do that, and have the staff to see talent in players others didnt (Hardrick at a lighter weight out at tackle)) and we had a progression from Goosen...Couture and now will be Eli, Chungh to Desjarlais...to Gray...Dobson....pretty hefty turn-over and no real steps back, if anything steps forward. you cant build an oline in FA without sacrificing everywhere else on the roster, and even then have nothing behind it, especially if you dont use forward thinking in your draft...Thats why Sask gonna struggle for yrs yet...Can't replace em all with big bucks....and guys they have tried to develop just aren't that good.

and we wont...no team will Kenny I bet will make same roughly as this yr, and Schoen under that...likely combined under 500k....also good bet both Schoen and BO will be extended prior to end of fiscal year, with a nice chunk going against 2023 SMS Only team who would throw insane money around stupidly is a team who isn't paying a Marquee QB...and what receiver will wanna really go to that scenario?...

Demski

do Canadian players now get lumped into the "global" distinction...can't see why they wouldn't be

I'm sure he wont just jump at the biggest price toss at him...and am sure he will get some sound advice and "been there" from Lawler and what pro's and con's are Didn't turn out to well in that instance, and can say same for Lewis there this yr too...tho he was hurt, but still.....same scenario more or less Like said many times before, and will again...grass isn't always greener, and sometimes security, chance to win...staff and organization played for carries a lot of weight if you can get a fair deal there... I have no worries about losing Schoen and have no concerns about him chasing the big buck in probably a shitstorm of a situation and leaving whats happening here, and his brothers Our management will make it work and it's likely at the expense of Thomas....Neuf (tho no reason to with his play) if for anything because we have younger and cheaper guys ready to step in (Lawson/Eli/Dobson) as well as jettosing vet contracts like Kolo, Darby, Lawrence, Briggs, possibly Gauthier...Miller not to mention the roughly 280-300k we shaved off this yrs SMS from 6 game guys, which will go a long way to re-up guys even before they hit the market, and likely save some money just from that

there is already a lot on internationals in the NFL as it is

injuries.....damn injuries, and suspension taking an elite player off field yeah it's not a case of swapping out a player....changing a coach...it's whole sale

to be honest nothing about that receiver gives me any reason to think he makes this team....

hahahaha.....yup....that made me laugh

we struggle when we stray away from that

only narrative that they were good came out of Sask.....wasn't based on reality in any way shape or form

my lineup/management concern have not gone away....a big win that glosses over things doesnt change it...Defence was hardly on the field to wear down...so was a non issue and to be quite frank Sask offence is not very good and their run game is prob worst in the league....so if they had to play a few more snaps it probably still would have been no big deal Offence personnel really was never an issue...was more scheme and preparedness....but we also can't expect what we saw vs Sask every game....

I didn't even realize Bane Jr played until I just watched that...apparently tho we couldn't cover him...according to him....I guess that tall QB didn't see him running free all game

Chungh here was never a good technical, and polished olineman....he was a mugger...mean and played on the edge, and complimented our really talented guys, so was expected in BC that he would look sub par

post game show usually is laughs galore...especially when they take the callers

ahhahaha...possibly....i do have a bit of a look that screams unstable and loony

yeah I got tired of listening to an assload of commercials with a few moments of chit chat wedged between them

I have some army pants I wear on occasion when doing yard work...I gonna wander into practice tomorrow...just jump in on some snaps....

Strev effect

and for last 3 yrs too....just snake bit i say!!

I actually doubt we will....If anything I can see us replacing the Mcrae's and Agudos's of the roster...The big 4 I all see back

which makes even more sense to whip in some DT's and DE's as well...we have no DT's basically other than Walker and Lawson and 2 of our 3 DE's worth spit are on wrong side of 30

good grief

definitely best defence in league....damn those injuries....sucks to be only team dealing with them too....
