Booch

Which in itself is funny..as it well Jefferson signed here for less....

Never doubted Bailey being back...I think he like Woli....it's here or nowhere for guys like that...I think Walters maybe has told Lawler...here's what we have for you, and is movin to sign other guys based on that...he takes it....or he walks, and that money will be used for the best available guy in free agency...and I am fine with that....especially if it allows for a Stove re-upping....I am not even worried about BA as I see him as another here or nowhere type guy, and regardless...half his salary will be off the books...so we good there, and just allows us more flexability to keep Darby...who in my opinion is key...cause he can play sam...safety...corner or halfback...and play them all at a top level...still shocked we even got him from T.O

Massive...he really coming into his own...and his attitude and fire is infectious....I see All-Star in that guy this yr! its a testament to where we at as an organization where we can develop guys, let them grow and come along...as we have pieces all around them to allow for it

the Faj's restructure hardly free's up much money...and as was stated....American born players need extra cash to stay in that dump of a city.....reason why Winnipeg retains a lot...and lot stay there after....it has tons of things to do..see..get involved with...guys like it here.....and the team dynamics are key now...thats why guys stay here now....Just whiney drivel coming from the west.

Spelled that wrong...the tall dude on the PR...having a moment can't recall his name lol

Yeah that is what makes me chuckle too...most our resigns are guys in their 3rd..4th deals now...some even more than that...their bumps aren't that huge

100 percent But Dickey needs to take control too...he looked as if he had none

Maybe Lawler is cut of same cloth as others..stays for less..pads it with playoff money...culture and brotherhood That being said...that offer also disappears if he doesn't accept it before window for it closes... especially if he still waiting on the NFL...and I doubt as free agency really kicks in BC will be holding that money just in case...I have my doubts he leaves to be honest...we won't match...I doubt we even top out at 200k...but we will have options either way....I bet in this environment a Derrel Walker would flourish and be that top 3 in league receiver again...and I bet he on our radar and could be had for Begelton/Burnham money....I'd also take a stab at Marketh Ambles too...be an excellent complimentary piece...same with Josh Huff....we have a lot of cap friendly options if Lawler prices himself out...Sign Bailey...and Woli..Demski...Walker and say and Ambles or Huff wouldn't hurt u one bit..or even Weineke in place of one of those 3....I also curious as to what Jackson and Argula bring to table..

Think he means the NFL guy they signed

Yup...when your players wanna stay..sign prior to free agency at a fair price..and less than they would have got if they tested the market is where you wanna be as an organization...and as a player....envy of the other fanbases and need to try and spin the over the cap story

frig no!!...that be an awful imagine

yeah...hardly hepful....and still wayyyyyy over payed.....he gets hurt...that fat boings is still on the books...I see them scrambling for whoever in free agency tho seeing as a lot of their "key" guys havnt signed on dotted line yet....interesting indeed....or they may be paying them more than they worth, or wanted to in order to keep continuity there, mind you they havnt gotten it done the last 3 years with that group...what's this coming yr gonna be but more of the same...

yup...dude just wins...He must be a right Icon in Germany now...every kid who plays gonna wanna be just like him

Woli is awesome....takes whatever role he is put into and plays it lights out....if he was used as a true slot...easy 1000 yard a year guy with 6 to 10 TD's...

Thiadric Hansen...2 seasons...2 cups.....all time greatest hahahaa.....jk....but man what a ride for that global guy...made best of his opportunity

prob a nice 2nd down move the sticks kinda guy hahaha

Nichols is signed as long as he doesn't land an NFL gig and looks like he hasn't and won't be...so we good there

I was...and Huge signing! I actually expected 2 yrs ..but will take 1

I don't see Bailey going anywhere...A teams interest in a player doesnt equate to the players interest in leaving somewhere that he is establishing himself, and loves for that matter...And in all honesty...what receiver in his right mind would head on down to Ottawa and that mess right now?...I can't think of any reason Bailey is probably one of the most extreme guys in regards to loyalty...brotherhood and love of his team...teammates and the chance he was given.....He's the last guy I would worry about as to leaving that locker room for a few extra bucks somewhere else...especially a team with next to no chance of any playoff appearance

wonder how is fragility is going to handle this cut in pay...will it bother him all year now...make him sad

yeah I not 100 percent sold he will bolt for it....but guess we will see...i think too that once the 48 hour window with Bombers is up, and he still trying to land NFL work then that offer is gone...no?

gotta love Woli....and I am sure the sentiment is the same with a lot of the guys...I didnt realize Couture been here 6 yrs now either...damn time flies, so his re-up increase wasnt that drastic...which helps

yeah....BA can get a nice deal....be plopped on the IR and not count against cap...be a good mentor as well as he rehabs....If and I think its likely we sign Darby...he slots right in there...Darby will be a huge re-up....so undervalued last year...just quietly went about his business and played lights out...and he is cut totally from the cloth this management looks for

So basically we have our starting QB, 2 Canadian receivers' and backup in O'leary Orange, 4 of 5 starters on the O-line, but the fill in will be Grey who has started, and a Backup who was on roster for Last part of season and playoffs...good start on offence for sure. Absolute worse case scenario will have one of the Canadian tailbacks back, and Borsa backing him up...we will be okay there with whatever American receivers we land, and truly think 2 of the 3 will be back in some combination. Defensive line is missing Stove and Kongbo at moment, as certain Thiadric will be back....If BA is shelved for a while it's a bonus...hide his salary and re-up Stove, and maybe if we dont over spend on WR's give Boateng a look in lieu of Kongbo....he'd be a sweet rotation with the Jeff's....If we can get Rose, Darby and Jones back we be looking really good....2 of the 3...still damn good...gonna be an interesting free agency for sure, but getting themeat and potatoes of our lines back was huge.....especially if we get a Stove to cook them on

yeah....they may have to cut him now though with what could be well over 600k in 3 receievers...I highly doubt they would want Ryhmes most likely 125k or so salary added to that...like .8 million bucks in 4 guys...all at the same position?...thats just idiotic
