Even worse since we're a couple months into 2024 now!

Yup and those kick chasers haven't even looked that great at chasing kicks.

Won't somebody please think of the precious reputations of Chad Kelly and John Murphy

Damn that still hurts 19 years later

Nah jokes are funny. That's just hacky sexist bullshit.

Can't ever fault a guy for trying to get paid for the job he's doing.

Presumption of innocent until proven guilty is for the courts. The rest of us are free to presume Kelly and Murphy are guilty POS

I'm mostly thinking of this play when I say his arm is nothing special haha https://www.cfl.ca/2023/08/20/outstanding-td-grab-from-samuel-emilus/

Ray had the timing down and nobody said he had a big arm.

Another option at RT but not a very exciting one. That said, Hardrick was picked from the scrap heap before and turned into an all-star, so who knows.

That's it right there. He can get it deep it just takes a while to get there.

Exactly. On top of that even if he were to sign a team friendly deal, it would still be more than the minimum. They've clearly planned to have some spots rostered with players making the minimum.

How many Dlineman have the TiCats signed this offseason? Seems like a lot.

Ya BOLO is one you guys are right. Would have like to keep him but its hard to have that back up Cdn receiver making much more than the minimum.

Not sure who you mean by this. If anything hanging onto the old guard for too long hinders player development. Rose, Bailey, Gray, Jeffcoat are all out, making room for younger guys to play. Clements played well, but Cole is the guy they like better. Developing to have a higher ceiling. Can't think of a younger player they've had get away that was developing into anything.

Can't keep the whole gang together forever. Got to be a youth movement at some point. More than 1 injury in any positional group is going to mean a rookie stepping in. This is the CFL, should be expecting some 1st year players to make big impacts. Without that, can't stay on top. Look at Montreal last year. They didn't just win the Cup based on their FA signings. Ento and Mack were a huge part of it. Looking forward to the competition in camp this year.

I don't like Friesen but Jeffcoat says that article accurately captures the situation. Sucks to move on from Jeffcoat but it's time. That 2019 Grey Cup from him and Willie was one for the ages.

Ya that's why I said it's a week late

If it wasn't for the legal tampering period the timing of release would be right as FA opens. That's probably a good time to get released. So this is only a week late. I'd bet these bonus dates start to coincide with the start of the tampering period.

It's a long off-season. Looking forward to more of this.

He's also 30 and coming off injury. That said, hope he comes back and lights it up again.

How many Dlinemen have the TiCats signed? Seems like most of them? Good signing for TO. He's a baller.

I think they likely go rookie for that 3rd american receiver.

With ZC, Strev, BO, Lawler, Schoen, Demski - who needs defence? Fill the rest of the D with rookies and let's go!!
