I call bs on the 300k thing...that's a bit of a stretch and exaggerated number...who would offer that...like really? And yeah...260k for a slow...bad character wideout who didn't impress at all last yr is an overlay..if u think it isn't you are nuts

Well with Nelson gone...Mcnight already signed I'd bet Grant is retained and a rookie will fill Nelson's roster spot

That's par for course it seems for top recievers (Weineke deal)...unless u are idiotic like B.C and now even more idiotic like Sask...wayyyy over pay at the expense of rest your roster....our roster is deep and balanced due to not overpaying foolishly...same with Cgy...and it will show. Weineke makes catches...scores TD's...160k....great value and u still able to surround him with talent. The more I think about it I'd be fine with splitting 250k and a lil extra for Darvin and Harris..and role with them and whatever camp produces...u prob then have money for one of Darby and Stove...we don't need to spend over 175k on top reciever...2 teams are doing that..and I bet they both be battling for 3rd and 4th...we won't be

Not sure other than Johnson who the higher priced players are? Gainey and Purify weren't that top dollarish more than any other teams vet DBs...they overplayed for PED Leonard...Duke is grossly over payed...Shaq Evans is prob up there as it was a higher contract for WR's before and doubt he took a pay cut...I sure Edam and Marshal got bumps...and they gonna have to pay large in free agency if they wanna fix online and slime .as well as linebacker....they aren't sitting on buckets of cash by any means

Lawler is taller..Baikey is bigger....2 different types of guys...I wouldn't want Bailey to assume the Lawler role..Bailey gonna Excell in the younger version of Nick Lewis...big plays...tough yard plays...solid and reliable...that's what I want and see from him Blake Jackson too may be the dark horse...dude has all the tools..runs a 4.4 and the best thing was a college QB and that's invaluable with the 2 qb rostering thing...from what I heard he was a lock to make the roster if not hurt Agadusi as the Z intruiges me and who wouldn't want that big dude downfield looking for lobs and 50/50 balls? Get Woli in the slot or just closer to the ball...we still have good cheaper options in FA when added to Demski..Woli and Bailey that would serve us well...and I wouldn't write off Adams either ..longer in tooth now but he still brings it and needs attention from defenses...but also brings that grit that made or receiver core what it was. Heck...convert Harris into Nik Lewis lite...I bet that option to get a pass..shovel pass...drop into backfield with JA or BO would give defenses fits

Id go after Ambles or RJ Harris first if we need to

If Lawler wants us to match...i say screw it..grab and Ambles or RJ Harris..give Harris a decent deal....and grind the snot outta teams with the 3 headed monster...and sign Strev as backup...

We lose Lawler..sign Walker to take top off..got Bailey in the intermediate and underneath...we actually utilize Woli and we all know what Demski can do..maybe get Adams at discount to.mentor a new young guy and be that grit....and we possibly can keep Harris and have him go out as final yr in class..unless he shows he got lots left

Ha...they have to be...can't pay million bucks for 4 import receivers..especially with Cottoy prob making 100k too And Rhymes is still on their roster...and not at league minimum

Same

You would be surprised come negotiation..2 sub par yrs ..he literally loafed and quit....he needs to re-establish his worth...and he knows it..I bet he can be had for a 185k salary with incentive easily..especially here...he should slot no more than Beg's and Burnham...2017/18 production is 5 yrs in rear view

Well...I see this as for sure driving Lawler money up...but we stand strong...say 185 hard..with incentive for more if he leads league again ..and possible playoff cash...no need to follow the idiots...I sure we can use 250k and maybe a bit more sign 2 of say a Walker..RJ Harris..Amnbles...Adams...Rogers...Huff...and be just fine

34 yr old Harris in WF ripped them a new arse too...

He had one big game last yr...and in playoffs one big play where Taylor slipped...normal conditions that's a short gain..and his o.t catch...was not a catch..I see a hard fight for 3rd place for them...

Hahahahaha....good luck with that one

With Edam tho still there...culture will still be same as he is a butt on the field too..so not a good example to follow...also selfish penalty taker...a me guy..not a we guy..he been like that everywhere..just got worse hanging out with the crew of douchers there...

Yeah these "reports" need to be taken with grain of salt..and unless I hear something from within...or a management/coach type says anything in media...or alludes to it I tend to disregard it....Harris when on field never takes it took a play off...ever..and players followed his example and fed off his fire. My take...and what I expecting is Harris is back on a crazy deal...Oliviera is also back on a par for the course second contract for a spot starter and stove is back too...he gets a bump but people thinking he gets this crazy bump are...well crazy...his next deal if he does what he does will be crazy To do this I see odd man out being Darby and Taylor...and quite possibly Adams if he not happy with a bargain deal...fly in ointment is Lawler...not sure what's up there...but if he walks...expect Adams and aDarby back...Also Mike Jones is a given..

Marino isn't that good...if anything he is dirty and will cost u in penalties...and u can't discount experience and leadership...Johnson had that in spades there..I don't see a real locker room leader...or core of legit leaders there

Fixing lines now is basically not gonna happen with what's left....not to become even remotely dominant

he was released to heal, and free up roster spot...be it PR or IR....he still on the radar far as I know

agreed....he's the starter now...was anointed it in media....well pay me first yr starter money then.....whats B.C gonna do?...Sign Harris in lurch for 440K?? yup..he should say gimme half that Lawler money and use rest to shore up the o-line...whats even left in FA market for O-line upgrades anyway?...If that was SASK plan it gonna blow up in their faces too

If I was Rourke...I would be holding out...he has BC by the balls....

yeah looks like right now we lost 3 we didnt want to, and had no chance for now any way (NFL guys) but we may lose a few that we are moving on from....which good teams do, and maybe one due to him getting outpriced from our structure....possibly Lawler. Stove is coming off rookie deal, so pretty sure Walters has a number and a plan to retain him unless some team gets really stupid with an offer...and that comes at expense of a vet who is longer in the tooth, and may be asked to take considerable cut (Harris/Adams/Taylor) and not like it...so look elsewhere...giving us the extra money I dont see Josh Johnson or Antighua back...not huge salaries but well above league minimum and replaced with a rookie and that extra money saved allocated elsewhere...

kind of agree....and if it comes at the expense of a Harris and or Adams...thats the price u pay to stay on top

B.C's spending and cap allocation is bizarre.they havnt really addressed any of their concerns, yet, and if anything are weaker with the loss of Mike R and possibly giving almot 700k to receivers.. QB pool is getting thin now and if Rourke struggles or gets hurt behind that still weak O-line...then what?....and if they are targeting Richardson (and I sure he can be tied to all teams as I sure all have contacted his agent) thats gonna cost them and still isn't gonna save that defense alone. I think Stove may take the money if we cant come "close".....That being said Walker and Rose showed ok in limited play..Sayles will only get better and he is just fine vs the run as yr went on, and the dude can get the pressure on a QB, and there are 1 yr stop gaps we could land..vets with skills still that we wouldnt niss a beat, and likely will command less than last yr...I looking at you Nevis and Johnson....Heck maybe we go after Laurent, he might wanna win a Cup lol....BA is shelved for half a yr likely so his $$ wont be on the books...Rotate him and Fatboi as the Canadian starter and still go import at safety...lots of options for us to not skip a beat, offence too with Lawler
