Seems as generally shortly after we announce a veteran release and SMS money freed up it usually coincides with free agent extension shortly after..(Leggett/Randle) .Bryant/hardrick and Biggie Wondering if the freeing up of Wilds salary may be an indication of money freed up for a Chungh and or Goosen signing, or a Loffler or Demski?

Things don't happen that fast...and you know damn well Jones had an idea, or knew he had an opportunity, but under his current deal couldn't take advantage of it...some reports say they asked permission on the saturday as well. Regardless of what spin Jones tries to put on it who can really believe him based on his past track record of bolting, and his caught red-handed several times trying to circumvent league rules, and lack of truthfulness. He was just looking out for himself like he always did, and I bet this position that was created will be yanked away just as quickly as it appeared..then he is back looking for work

and isn't able to sign with anyone else...so would think Durant is in same boat..

i believe if you leave a team like he did...with a year on a contract....you belong to that team if you decide to un-retire down the road and still owe them that year...thats how it used to be. If you didn't have that then if a guys was unhappy with a team and wanted to leave he would just sit out and then go wherever he wanted...I could be wrong and things changed now but I would think it's still the same

Yeah..we own him..if he was able to slither off you would have guys pulling that crap all the time.. if someone wants him..or more so if he is just itching to get back..well then the bombers should make all parties involved pay..

I don't believe he will be...he's on the suspended/retired list as he for a lack of a better term "quit" on his team.....so if he ever decides to come back to play again down the road...he still owes that one year. Thats how it has been for ever, unless something has changed...bout doubt it...that is why we kept his rights

I hope Durant wants to come back and play somewhere...and glad we hung onto him and I hope we play hardball for the crap he pulled...and as well for the Juvenile comments he made on twitter. We hold his rights...so if he wants to play somewhere as teams will have a need..tell him to go negotiate a deal, and then we will trade his arse for something of value..we have him over a barrel so to speak, and a desperate team may look to move an asset or something of value

of all our National talent..Simonese is the guy I am most excited/intrigued about..I watched a lot of camp..and practice and just watching him you know he is going to be good...if you didn't know who was who you would peg him as an import. The fire is there obviously as he played the teams and worked hard at it, and when thrown two (albeit only 5 or 6 times) he made most of his opportunity... Last year was is getting back to football mindset/shape and his re-introduction to a system and structure as he was basically on the shelf for 2 years...and from what I have heard from some people I have spoken with if not for his PED incident the Bengals would have kept him around as they loved his skillset and the untapped potential...also to consider how many Canadian University/Jumior football kids who play wideout actually get into game action in an NFL training camp...very very few...and invites to those camps pre mini camp don't count as they are basically meaningless.

interesting to find out that medlock has signed in around the 130-135k range...very affordable for what he gives you, and when you consider he does all 3 jobs, where some teams have to employ 2 to do that..even better value as you have most likely have 1 guy making the equivalent, and in many cases less than 2 guys combined on another roster as separate specialists

and really he doesn't need to be...especially if we land a stud....but even so if we don't he is still primed for a big year now...He will be a better version of Fantuz in my opinion...which will be a very nice piece to the puzzle

having continuity with your management staff...and treating players right goes a long way

see...told ya hahah

totally agree...and even today on his interview on the radio, when asked with all the un-rest in the west...question marks all over the west that if the Bombers were the favorite or one of to win the cup...and he still couldn't hardly agree to it...what a putz

mere formality if that is true...which i think isn't....he is here this coming year...I know that as a 100% certainty

yeah....that's totally how it is there...say one thing against the masses there....pretty much a ban or labllled a troll...it is entertaiing though to go there and browse and read all their distorted warped thoughts on things....nice time killer

HAHAHA....Oh yes I forgot....but I bet I could do a bang up job...though am rather busy at the moment

highly doubt it this late in the off-season...why would we allow our OC to leave now?..maybe for next year, but only an idiot GM would give permission...and understandably so and nobody would say that Walters would be stalling lapo's career....other than most on Ridersfans...wouldn't you agree?...makes no sense...and not like Lapo is working for chump change here either

With the issues at home with Trestmans wife's health and what not...I doubt he want to jump right into another stressful coaching position...he probably will take a gig that will re-confirm his status...not one that might further damage it

and piss poor SMS management where you basically stripped down your offence of the previous years play makers to pay for assets on defense and create a very unbalanced squad

Doubt that Lapo would want to go there with all the uncertainty..at least this year, and I doubt even more that we would allow the Riders to even talk to him at this juncture of the season..with draft coming up...coaching rosters set, and being close to camp...and having to re-install a new coordinator...and especially the fact that the Riders may have slim pickings at best for a QB solution...why would a guy want to drop into that mess mid-stream and basically set himself up for failure?..only an idiot would allow a coach to leave now...and only an idiot who is established with a good gig for 2019 would want that....and only an idiot would give a guy (jones) all the hats he wore with his proven track record of being all for him and leaving organizations the way he has

SURE...but the dollar value would go against the cap if they canned them...so no point in that...they will be very limited in their staff for this year...to go along with the limited QB availability for them...and to think...earlier today they were predicting a 3 win season for us next year as an efect of the Bighill signing....now ain't that a funny dose of karma

he held 2 positions..and you can only have 11 coaches...so the new guy has to be a HC.DC or they hire from withing and promote someone to HC and have to find a DC

cue the whining out there now due to the coaching cap....a cap mind you that all teams have to abide by....but the blues will be cried out there at how they are getting screwed over...perhaps they should be beating down the door of Mosaic and addressing the remaiing management there at the stupidity of handing one guy all the keys to the jallopy...therin lies half the issues there...one guy..accountable to nobody but himself

yes..they have very nice facilities for the players...
