pretty sure Demski money had noting to do with Westerman money or a potential MLB money..that money is most likely still there...if it wasn't that would mean we had about 300k to spend on free agents which is laughable

with 30k to spare

no doubt...top buck I would have been comfortable about would have been 200k...but good for him I guess...I bet deep inside by mid season he is gonna think why tho Agreed on the Riders o-line...especially if they put Bond at tackle...And really cant see how why they would sign Campbell now...and coming off the juice he may just plummett into mediocrity. Clarke and Dyakowski are pylons and for every good thing Bladek did out there he got abused 10 times ..Coleman is probably the 8th best starting tackle in the league..

I think it more of a cost versus value thing...he was going into his 7th year this year..most likely 3rd contract so was probably going to make over 70..80k...so effectively I think we just swapped his salary to Drew W entry level one and used the surplus elsewhere..smart sms management

Matt Black too has played some Corner

Courtney Stevens in the Hammer...The Schmoes too I believe started to start their young Canadian and may plan to this year

Jones has come in and played boundary corner many times...he got roasted once on that one play against Sask but that was more from confusion from several guys that day. Other times he played he played very serviceable...and he's a 4th year guy..hardly inexperienced. The guy who I think may eventually take over there is Conteh..he is a developing/project guy but has all the attributes you'd want there...and likes to lay the lumber to boot

Branning

Rather have Steele...or Waud for same money...even Gill if his body still isn't in shambles

Only if we choose to start 2 on defense...but is appearing we aren't at the moment..so not a huge need...but be a nice ratio option tho.

220 i bet

As I am with Javarus Jones already on our roster

I would say so....and probably en ought to bring in an Eddie Steele for ratio flexability and depth...may as well add another Bison

I don't think so...Lafrance was cheap..Fenner too I think..Demski was questionable...I doubt a shade over 320k was our max out cash

yeah...bad cap management....but based on my earlier post rough numbers: Hughes/Jefferson/Evans (510K) Collaros (430k) Bridge (gotta be 150K min) Carter (190K) Rossevalt (140k min..prob higher) Bond (min 130k prob higher..way higher) Henoc (190k I believe min) Labatte (200k) Owens (100k..i thought i heard 110k but we will use 100k) Messam (at least 120k) for 2.16 million of your cap for 12 guys now compare similar players roster wise on Winnipeg Nichols (450k) Durant (180k) Poop (60kish) Nevis (140k) Jeffcoat(60kish), Opo (160K) Bryant (190k) Bownam (140k) Demski 145k) Fenner (130k) JSK (60kish) Flanders(80kish) for 1.7 million of your cap 370k less for same amount of players and talent....thats 5 salaries at an average of 75k a year still to use to match their amount...plus we have depth already signed and many to 2 yr contracts...They still need to address o-line...db's...and depth to back-up multiple positions

and yeah...that would be a greasy Jones move and really make players think twice about signing there in the future..win win for other teams hahahaa

but Hughes(150ishK)...Jefferson/Carter(360k) re-upping...Evans...Collaros /bridge contracts(min 600k)...Now Evans, Bond, Messam (min 400k)..Labatte (most likely 200k) ...Henoc about (160k min)...thats just shy of 2 million of your cap invested in 11 guys....not to mention Roosevelt who is close to Carters and Owens is over 100k....like wtf...I think Jones is actually pretty dumb and most those guys are on 1 year deals to boot....

and we act like drunken sailors on free agency day...and thats not the way to do it....hahaha

so now can we say they are scrap heaping our cast-offs as they so like to claim...I bet Hurl now is a great signing..depth...experienced...yadda yadda...friggin goofs

if he signs in Montreal for 200 or a shade over he is just plain dumb...brother there or not seeing what other guys signed for..and some signing for less to be here...they are team guys and guys who u build around..Guess ol Westerman just playing for the money and name on the back of the jersey and not the name on the front and the chance to be part of something good

jake doesnt help us one bit if we choose to go all import on the dline...why sub in a lesser player when u dont need to and if he was signed as the starter Canadian position on defense...thats regression from last year...it's westerman now...or a ratio switch

or play d=back?...

Fenner is very solid and for that price a very good cap friendly contract.

nope...Allouttes...either way keeps him away from Sask which is a need for them

I bet he ends up in BC...Their secondary just got decimated today...If Hervey was smart he would offer him something he couldnt refuse
