  1. for now....but if he gets no camp offers....he has to start looking north...He been kicking around there now going on 3 yrs....his time is almost up to be a PR guy
  2. to be honest...I dont think Mcknight will be in the final mix, and I also wouldnt be surprised if we re-sign and use Grant more in the offence with his returning as well
  3. the way I see it...we will get 1000 yards or more outta Ellingson, and 1000 yards or more outta the RB combo.....and in process gain some speed on offence...Vet presence is there with Ellingson in place of Darvin.....Bailey has same as Lawler....and not like the RB's are green rookies...we be fine
  4. been sayin since way back that Adams was a likely casualty...Harris was a bit of a blindside....figured he would need to take a shave...figured hw would to end it here, but stories of him balking at showing he 100 percent healthy, his age...his not wanting to fit into the SMS like others have...Walters made the tough...but right choice....
  5. Maybe the other Harris should have took a page outta that book to stay home....QB Harris took a wayyyy bigger shave than RB Harris 2021 salary
  6. for real? Argos like old
  7. truth...case in point Bailey...he was soooo erratic and out of control at times, and almost tripping over himself yr 1....now look at him
  8. yeah...we are built to sustain...not sure why people are so caught up in the loss of a few aging vets..whom we can and have replaced with more than adequate production...I get the fan fav part...and all the other stuff...but thats sports..always has been
  9. Kind of have to agree...Others took less, some big amounts less...a few have done it for a couple yrs now too....why couldnt he?....
  10. what team is? we stood pat last year to repeat....you dont go back to the well to do that again...won't work....management made the call on which guys this year they could move from, if their price wants didnt match the overall team SMS...nothing more...nothing less, and next yr most likely it will be guys like Taylor...Thomas..maybe Bryant....thats what good teams do to stay good Any g.m would have moved on from a 35 yr old asking alot....especially one who had some injury concerns, and concerns that they wanted to work him out...they werent asking that to be dicks....and I can see it now..we signed him...and say lost one of Brady and or Johnny, and they performed well, and Harris either got hurt...or under performed...and we Signed BJ Cunningham or the likes to replace Lawler...and got crap production....Walters would have got roasted....He made the right call for the better of the team...
  11. why? not happening this....pumped about that pick
  12. So what they doing with Adams then? Surely doesn't make sense paying starter money for 2 QB's as I sure Harris didn't sign for under 275k
  13. And there gonna be some good value in free agency yet for depth guys
  14. Harris wasnt adebt at it when he first came into league either...he grew into it...and both our backs now will do the same. As for in the passing game...no RB was much in passing game last year..as we rarely used them as it's not a focus of our offence anymore.....its not that they couldn't do it...Harris had a whopping 11 receptions last year....Brady 9....guess they both are no threat
  15. Eli was the 6th guy...not like he started, but was a valuable 6th guy...His loss isnt gonna define our season and his replacement played in final few games and the Grey Cup on short yardage and did ok....
  16. I wouldn't say its worse when the season hasnt even started... Sask signed a couple linebackers and Spitty....their oline still sucks...no RB...Dline is weaker...DB's are weaker, and they lost or havnt signed many of their depth guys...we better on paper right now BC has 2 unproven QB's...weak oline, They signed stove and a few other peices, but nothing thats gonna make them world beaters all of a sudden, and all the new pieces need to gel...we btter on paper right now Edmonton...jettisoned some of their good Canadian players on defense....still have a average oline....lost their best one due to retirement, way overpayed for an average player in Lacy...not sure even what their dline will look like....we better on paper there too Cgy...that is who we be battling with for 1st I believe...but they too lost some pieces, but also retained some key guys...and they have depth...cause they dont spend stupidly ...just like us Just because a team or 2 blows their wad on a shiny new toy, or two....doesnt matter when they didnt adress their huge needs and weaknesses if he not your number one guy sure...1000 yard guy in 2019....over 600 yards in 12 games last year...still under 30, be a good compliment to Demski/Woli/Bailey and Ellingson...knows the league and the waggle...return kicks too in a pinch if u need him to....prob get him cheap as well...
  17. who's the more to come?...fringe guys...really curious all these key pieces we still gonna lose....do explain Who would u have rather we let go, and then had to replace with just as good or better...for same value or less in FA of Bryant, Hardrick, Neufeld, Couture, Woli, Bailey, Johhny, Brady, Willie, Jackson, Biggie, Thomas, Rose, Maston, Grey, Miller, Taylor, soon to be BA, Ellingson, Briggs, Gauthier, Benson?? And wait till free agency and pay way more?...of all the starters, along with Miller, Briggs and Gauthier all woulkd have got snapped up in a heartbeat
  18. 18 Really...Maston was a starter until injured...So his signing and Darby exit is a wash...he'd have been a nice fit at safety until BA is back, but I sure one of the Hallets can hold it down, or one of the imports... Agree with @Colin Unger Walters made sure he signed the vital guys...ones who you won't replace with better in free agency, and has faith in the returning PR guys, and scouting staff to fill the voids. Pretty sure both Rene and Dobson make active roster next yr too if they don't get NFL gigs
  19. be a culture shock playing in front of nobody...and basically being a nobody there tho....
  20. to be honest...I dont really see a drop off anywhere...nor any loss being greatly missed...the Sentimental part with Harris and Adams..true warriors and guys who were here from bad...and brought us back to the top...and deep down I sure didntt wanna leave...but thats sports....always will be...guys gotta be let go eventually Curious tho if we find out the gap in salary with Harris want...and our give
  21. we lost a few good guys...we retained a boatload of the same...better than you could have hoped in all honesty
  22. yup..end of an era...crappy way to end it here...and sad another Bomber Icon leaves prior to setting a rushing milestone...not in Bomber colors...we will survive tho
  23. he wasnt hurt...and I guarantee if he was asked..he would
  24. and thats that....now we move on...wish him well
  25. Bad Santa reference.well done
