Yeah an area of concern/weakness now seems like a really strong spot A starting 5 of say Gaitor..Fenner..Loffler...Randle and one of Walker/Alexander/Clarke/Fogg as the 5th and 6th guy looks really good to me...Mix in Leggett at sam and a very nice group

Fenner is a right assassin on ST's too...

Huge pick-up and multiple places he can play..Nice back-up plan too if Moe isn't ready to start right away...but almost certain he will be

yeah seems kinda odd...maybe we were just driving the price up like Jones does???...hahahahah

Yeah a Mitchell White...and either or of Mruabre and Westerman and we good

well they have over 500k used up...and no depth behind it so he better be...

man...probably well over 500k tied up in just 3 dlineman....crazy dumb cap management if you ask me

decent Canadian DT who will help them with ratio...not sure who/what backs him up there tho. Not a big fish if you ask me but makes them better..

first of many if they want to build a roster...prob trying for evans and need that 180k dennis makes

a little high if u ask me...but lets see if he plays 18 games as our starting canadian and earns that....potential is there

i could see Denny landing in B.C

Yeah I would also like a more physical guy in that position....I don't think losing him is a big deal..we can do better and more cap friendly.

could....and he has more upside...I'd be okay with that

Not really replacing a DT as Thomas wasn't a key piece of the pie. Continuity and familiarity is more important in a defensive backfield and o-line...we got online covered and really only loss in the backfield appears to be Heath...

Well get your dancing booties on then.....

Yeah having a national there could be the option..we have the bodies to try it and depth behind them. Jones I am sure could handle it and not hurt us..and Branning is going to be good..alreDy has the talent..just needs the experience and the dark horse is Conteh..once he gets his bearings he may be a long term answer there.. .he could be one of those intimidating hitters...a milder version of Bovell/Bennie Thompson....2 of my fav former d-backs outside of Stick

Fogg is probably looked at as the DI..handle punt returns...come in as the nickle...in game depth...as he can fill in for half back and Sam..until someone else takes any of those roles away from him. He is familiar with the team..systems..culture and who's to say he won't improve in a re-jigged defensive scheme..these are the types of signings a deep team needs and you can't discount continuity and familiarity. If it turns out someone beats him out...well then we are a better squad but until then we could have way worse options

I'm thinking we are going after White..Possibly Purifoy at DB...Dean or Reed at linebacker...most likely Dean and possibly a National D-lineman..and Demski

yup...that early Bowman signing is looking real big now. I'm happy with what we have on offence now, and we need to focus on defense...I think it is setting up nicely for us to grab who we are targeting

interesting that Jones in Riderland has come out and said that they are right at the cap now....and free agency hasn't even started. Plus they have 2 starters on their o-line unsigned...not Canadian depth on defence..especially on the d-line...and some other key pieces to their team that would hurt them to lose....so not sure how or if they can sign any big names..let alone some of their own guys from last year...there gonna have to be some purging there...or a very weak depth issue there and marginal Canadians...will be interesting for sure

and with Durant pretty sure we are going to see it more and be very successful...to the point where we could see Durant in for 3..4..5..plays in a row or until a team takes a timeout...there is a stoppage in play or they pull a phantom injury ala the Riders

Ekakite already made more money than Jake...and from what I seen of him this off-season he has put serious work into being better in the CFL game. and really....if we need to go that route and sign someone else, we could probably sign Steele or Gill...possibly Waud for similar cash to what Thomas would need...and be better for it

yup...and time to move on...

3rd contract now...6 year Canadian vet...he won't be huge bucks but will make significant dollars in a cap world...and money that could give better bang for the buck elsewhere....thats the hold-up there.... I can see him back maybe 1 week or so into the season if no one seems interested, and then only if he wants to accept a value deal...i bet he lands in Mtl...closer to home

I actually think he is who we are targeting...he has the ability to be a shut down guy at corner or half back...the brother connection too may help us in his signing. We have no needs on offence via free-agency...anything would be a bonus but we can get Demski I sure on a very cap friendly deal. Wouldn't be surprised that if Westerman doesn't re-ip today, that he will sign shortly after free agency opens...I see him as a team guy and wanting to finish what they started here. If I was a betting man I figure we walk away with White..Demski..Dean and Gill...or possibly Waud as more Canadian DT depth
