Booch

yup...we be good...we also have that monster in the NCAA this yr too...do we not?

yup..we have depth to manage losses....I fully expected Desjarlais...so having Gray and ELI who could start for any team already around takes that sting away, and makes them easier to resign. Same with DB's...we can still have solid core of returnees even if we lose both rookies, so resigning of Darby, Jones, Taylor...eases that pain...have to remember Darby can play either corner or halfback, and very well.....so if Maston is ready, and able...easy transition...I doubt we lose both DB's tho, and I think Alfords slight frame will not help him...but could be a one yr loss ala Rose... So if we star a Rose Taylor BA Darby Jones secondary with Maston at sam...we be fine...we also could have Houston and Miller both back too..I assume they both on 2 yrs deals no?...rookies in the league? Or was Houston on IR/PR at end of yr...which is still a big nothing burger, and sure he an easy resign

yup....he probably severely affected his earning power now too....he gotta earn that back

Simoni's too....funny that he felt he was jobbed 2 years in a row for MODP...by players on the team that took 2 cups from them...gotta sting that extra bit more haha

and agreed on the financials...we will be able to sign who we want, and also dip into free agency if we see an opportunity....no worries here ANd yeah the Elks had the talent..which was so bizzare..I think they just all quit on the Coach and Management, and was from having a group of douchers in the locker room...which tainted the whole team and ruined them...notice end of year when a good portion of some of their core vets were sat...they actually looked and played like a team?..

oh for gods sakes hahaha....just grabbed first link I saw ..didnt even read it hahahaha I think tho this yr the Bomber guys banked 35k

Exactly...last year we brought back the same amount pretty much...and all teams are in same boat.....and only so much SMS to go around...the reality is in the new CFL right now is that some vets will have to accept the same pay as previous year, some will have to settle for less, as thats just the business now....or not play.....and there will be a few with nice bumps...we should be fine, as we have pretty much a veteran roster where we will have minimal bump ups...if any, plus the added bonus that the players know if the core guys are back, they have a good shot at 20 to 30k at season end....whereas some teams who we most likely assume will try and pay some larger cash to some prize free-agents have no hope in hell really...or its a big crap-shoot So with the short career life of a player, the more likely chance of that playoff money is a big draw...why do u think teams like the stamps retained so many guys for years...and for less than they probably woulda got elsewhere?? and on the flip...if we do happen to lose a key guy...which I doubt..or another team or 2 lose a key guy....they will obviously been wayyy overpayed....throwing that teams SMS outta whack, and ripple effect being less money to go around to get a very good replacement, at possibly a lower price, strengthening your overall SMS

It was Sewell

I not worried about that in the least

yup...Sask better be worried mind u losing their "prize" free agents probably a blessing to them and they dont realize it I can see dbags Edam...Marshall..Duke..Purifoy....all skidaddling there...Gainey too...so one team gets shittier by choice...and another shittier in the short term by no fault of their own...me like

yeah he dead to us now lol....he had signed with them before season ended as well....no ring....so sad lol

shows how desperate EDM must be....and also they need to have a dual role guy....feeling the pinch $ wise with the coaching cap...

glad he back...and I sure he glad to keep building on the last 2 seasons...continuity is key...look at the last 3-4 years and total lack of circus and wtf moments with the organization....such a nice change from the dark ages...which are still too damn close i the rear view for my liking...and nothing beats being a model flagship organization in the league where u bet all other 8 teams are trying to replicate

soon as he breaks....3 guys converge...most importantly Bailey's....

correct...that was the 2019 toss him outta the way play haha Woli was huge in the 4th...and had the ultimate fake out in O.T on the 2 point convert if u all re-watched and saw those 3 dummies fall for it after his and ZC "chat" pre snap hahaha

Told u all along he has no intention to leave..he will be here basically until or if when we fire him..for being useless..or he retires...I predict the latter

Yeah he should easily be landing somewhere...not like the guy sucks..and agreed...he's probably better than several starters in the league...he can at least get past his first read..and has seen it all scheme wise...

he'd be an adequate back up here....lol

and this is the estimated amounts for the upcoming season...

he has already said he is back in 2022 as well....so basically..he's back lol

I see Eli back as well...

watch in O.T ...I think was O.T where Willie sends the tackle on his ass....funny was that where hi pinned him after the play like a wrestler?...I Laughed at that as well, if thats the same play

none of them are retiring this year....they will all be back with slight bumps..I can see Bryant just getting what he did last year...same with Neuf...That 3peat is gonna be a huge come back draw If we close that out next yr tho..I could see Neuf and Bryant shutting it down

yup....musta been a planned trick....but it sucked 3 guys over and freed up Bailey
