That graph was before Demski and Alexander. Sure we only signed one new guy (so far) but re-upping Alexander was just as big as bringing in a new guy. Also all these "big" names signed so far were guys we never were really interested in or needed to augment our core of guys save for most likely Posey. But theres still Walker or Mathews who basically still fill that need and will require similar cash to sign. Outside of QB's, we signed prob the best available impact player on the market.. (Jefferson)for market value..all the while several of the teams in our division have basically used up most of their "big game" money. So now that the dust has settled a bit Walter's can re-evalute the needs vs availability and probably get guys he wants at better SMS value. Based on some of the B.C ties I'm thinking Awe would look pretty good here replacing JSK and possibly a Max Forde or Joseph from Mtl for national dline rotation help especially if we draft a dlineman where there are 2 of which who can most likely step into lineup as backup/rotation right away. We can also make a play too for Ackie now for national depth on defense as a starter..or a courtney stephans, and most likely get them at reasonable money. We lost a few starters in Loffler and Chungh but weren't vital cogs..nice pieces but not debilitating losses by any means. We have 6 olineman signed and coming back who were or have all been on roster and played and save for Gray and his one game dressed have been together for 3 going on 4 years now, and Gray most likely could have been a 1st overall if the known NFL interest wasnt there. Ace in hole..we have picks 4 and 5 and what..4 or 5 of first 24 picks..our national talent pipeline will be replenished easily again..

And the fact he hasn't been snapped up already is a bit telling too

Yeah..gonna miss Fogg.. would have made a good DI option here

I like the ability of our safety to cover..move up play man..and go from sideline to sideline tracking the ball..loffler doesnt offer that..big hits ain't all that..

Was hecht

I'm with u..we are fine with him an conteh

Looks like riders settled for a GM..HC..DC..and now QB All this awesomeness was already there..they are dead last in west.. if not entire cfl

could sign someone...I think if we sign Ackie he slots in at sam...possibly will...and we still start a canadian safety from in house

Mathews can play slot...has a lot actually

Yeah I dont know if Walters is sleeping at the wheel, or has big plans....but missing out on Adeleke..Posey..and if we miss out on Walker I consider that a big fail...unless Lokombo..or Ackie...or both are in the works along with say Mathews

This defense now is going to be tough...and they are already vomitting over on Riderville which makes it more enjoyable

Looks like the Red Blacks signed him....hence..the Riders are screwed lol

yeah 250k for a dlineman who is 31 this year isn't the smartest sms management

I doubt it..I think they just swapped Jeffesron for Johnson

Big cash sunk in their d-line without Jefferson now..250k for Johnson..190k for Evans...135k I believe for Hughes...and nobody to back them up at monment

montreal or T.O i bet...

and Duke was best receiver in the league...and would be getting better..Ellingson is not getting better and if anything be regressing sooner than later

I don't see the ESKS as better..harris..downgrade..Ellingson...Downgrade from Duke...and down grade from Walker..JSK...Down grade from Sherrit..Anthony Oramge...big down grade from Grymes..Dean...he will help them..Unumba....wash...

and Jeffcoat isn't far behind and bet he has a huge year...Him..Jeffeson...Biggie all in the front 7....yikes!!

Is he not coming off an injury??...

WAYYYY OVER PAY FOR eLLINGSON...cOME ON OVER wALKER!!!

HE'S A TOOL....A player can get the same extra's in any market pretty much...pipe dreams to give the Rider faithful a glimmer of hope on what will be a grim day realizing they have zilch at QB and lost their 2 best defensive players

If bo signs anywhere other than sask then the riders are screwed as you know other teams..wont get out bid

We can afford a Jefferson..Acki and adeleke I bet

They blow wad on him though..they have huge gaping holes all over with no cash to fill..and your highest paid defender is an aging fading Hughes..good luck with that
