Booch

There was talk in camp last year, that Harris did indeed come into camp out of shape...thats not new news...maybe not blabbed about in the papers/online....but it is a fact And maybe he has lost the fire to put in the 365 day a yr work now at his age, or maybe isnt able to, and the Team wanted to see where he was at so they don't go through the same thing again....and yes....players notice when guys don't do the weekly grind, yet still play in season...vet...or not.... Can guarantee one thing tho.....Augustine will come to camp in phenomenal shape....like he has every year and work like a dog...he's earned his payday and shot at being a feature back...or par of a 1a/1b scenario, and u know Oliveira gonna come in and do everything to take the torch of the new Hometown back.

think O'l Willie is talking outta both sides of his mouth a bit...he may do some of his own stuff...but I do know he has an agent...and its same as Jeffcoats

yup....non issue

TRUST ME..they share an agent Zach actually is quite vocal....fans dont see it....But 2 lineman who are very vocal...and I would assume Demski steps up and becomes that leader dont think any one bears ill will...just the dynamics around it....and the fact Harris trying to come off as slighted and disrepected for the teams asks of him....nobody discounting what bhe did and what he meant to team....I sure others who left for more were offered less to stay...and they didn't bring it up in media..

nah....was practicing already, and I have seen him working out.....There a reason he was re-signed prior to FA...and we didnt outbid for Darby...tho I wish we would have with BA on shelf part of yr and his salary not on the books for that part

actually said opposite, and was also mentioned by both players they share same agent

BTW...Many players have had to do a physical, perform a workout prior to being signed...even vets, and almost always after an injury...or injury filled previous season...just sayin......

and totally acceptable ask....Harris...as much as I love and appreciated what he did here, and will prob do once retired...acted pretty sucky about that

Maston is more than an adequate replacement and he was a big reason for the defense turn around for 2019 grey cup...also brings more physicality, and was prob cheaper to bring back coming off injury...just business

ego....and possible he knows he not 100 percent healthy still...or yet

Wille and Jeffcoat have same agent...Willie has done own deal before tho....

No player is bigger than the team....Harris found that out the hard way....kudos for him getting more money elsewhere, but he is 35 this yr, and we have 2 young bucks chomping at the bit. From what I get out of it, Augustine is pulling in the most, not sure where but Harris was offered between 115k and prob 130k...and didnt like it...is what it is. His public comment tho on feeling disrespected and not wanted, due to having to prove health/ability is kind of a bad look on him tho, and don't blame the team for wanting to do that...for all you know others may have to submit some kind of fitness report, and proof of ability...it does happen....it also is needed for insurance reasons...Personally I became un-insurable at one point and no team will touch you. Augustine and Brady will play a duo role...I thinking JA getting the "starting" role, then the go with how game flows...I'd like to see BO tho get in the 220 range with his weight tho...that 10 pound drop wont effect his power...prob make him more powerful running to be honest Was a crappy ending to an awesome era with Harris, carried this team at times, and was inspirational leader as well....but we have a room full of leaders and he will be missed, but it wont be the culture, or locker room demise by any stretch...If anything make it tighter, as others will see what can happen

same....maybe he reconsiderd all he leaving behind here...and maybe now Harris spurned us...he reached out to see if we can juice up an offer

yeah...basically was looking out for hiself and a last big payday....cant blame him I guess...but if the diff was like 20k give or take.....kind of a move not inline with others in the locker room The fact too...he wouldnt do a work out...is telling.....It aint about pride...being disrespected...its business....

was just gonna say the same thing...don't believe that Walters comment...sheeesh

I'm sure our defense will hold no punches...as well as leave a message as to what they left....all in good sportsmanship for sure

yeah Hansen will be back...his salary is what it is and we already have it accounted for Ambles would be a nice add for sure to complete the corp..I dont see Agudusi listed anywhere....roster, or pending FA....I doubt we moved on considering he was brought to the Grey Cup

ottawa high school until he transferred to U.S prep school in 2019...has played 2 seasons since then

was an acl...and has played 2 seasons since it occurredhe's fine...he could actually be a boundary corner possibility, safety for sure but that BA spot, but could fill in until he back, and be a versatile backup at a few positions with the right passport

100 percent...that..the culture here...and Osh

yup...eager to see him....at worst he will be a special team demon, but could end up getting reps at safety....he is more than eager to get going up here to if the NFL doesn't come calling..starter at corner for NCU...Injured for 2019 but has since played in 2020 and 2021 for Rutgers....thinking he sees no NFL offers so should be here acl.... and he a draft pick..so its here or nowhere https://www.cfl.ca/2021/05/16/tait-built-off-adversity-patrice-rene-eyes-bright-future/ https://ottawasun.com/sports/football/cfl/the-road-to-the-pros-ottawas-patrice-rene-has-eye-on-cfl-and-nfl

so be cheap too yup...thats where we usually shine in FA...getting the best of the guys who dont get the stoooopid money...and usually end up the better player

was purely a football scenario that happens everywhere...bang for buck...value and risk....transition....setting up for the longer haul and not just living in the now....I'm fine with it now...we kept our core..which is still best in league, kept our recruiting department intact. Which is now best in league, same with our coaching staff...I'd have lost my **** if we retained Adams, Harris and Lawler, but still lost Stove...One of the Jeffs, Prob one or both our tackles and possibly a Rose or Biggie....

was just gonna say same based on what we have right now....Is Miller coming back as well...he dressed in Grey Cup in Jones spot

if he a mid season return....it will be here....u can bank on that and I am sure all parties will make it work
