I guess … except if we get an injury at pretty much any position other than the defensive secondary.
Augustine is not a full time running back (although we’d go American there), Jeremy Murphy is nowhere near as proven as BOLO nor does he bring the same toolset, our DL depth is nowhere near as good as some of these other teams, our OL depth has been thinner than it’s ever been. We’ve got 7-8 starting calibre players and a bunch of kick chasers. That’s about it and that’s not good enough for a team with championship aspirations. The draft will be huge for us.
Yup and those kick chasers haven't even looked that great at chasing kicks.

I listened to that game on the radio and I can still hear the Bob Irving call.
"He dropped it. He. Just. Dropped. It."
edit: found the play on youtube:
Damn that still hurts 19 years later

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

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

Dolegala can throwit deep...but not with any authority...long arching soft tosses....so easy to adjust and would be a interception machine...Unless he has 3 Lawlers/Gino Lewis's and push off Rhymes to win the floater battle...same deep ball as the Faj...just that he can get it downfield a lot further
was a reason he couldn't stick in the NFL with his height
He also has been poorly coached and holds the ball in the pocket, and when moving around trying to move his launch point in a really poor position and will be a fumble machine as well and be strip sacked a ton
That's it right there. He can get it deep it just takes a while to get there.

Because a contract is a mutual agreement and Bailey likely won’t get a huge raise but he’s going to get a raise somewhere. He took an $80,000 pay cut last year. He deserves to go out and make his money somewhere. We can’t force him to sign here.
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.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have re-signed American defensive end Jamal Davis II for 2024, per sources.
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.

Walters buggered the accountant when he signed Lawler when he already had Schoen in house at 1/3 the price. Years of careful player development walking out the door, starting over from scratch in a few too many positions. Exciting times await!
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.

But the tampering window is there so we can't pretend like it's not.
Any offers made during the tampering window are binding so looking around at some teams (hello Saskatchewan), they have committed a significant amount already. I'm not saying teams can't or won't continue to sign guys. Just from a players point of view, it doesn't strike me as ideal to be looking for a dance partner after the music has already started.
Ya that's why I said it's a week late

Would they really want to be released this late in the off-season though? Teams have already been planning out their FA spending and if they've committed their cap space elsewhere, it lessens where the player can sign & for how much.
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.

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

Good signing for TO. He's a baller.

yup...Hopefully we can give Bailey a lil bump and keep him in the fold...deserves it and is the glue guy...Lawler..Demski..Schoen...Woli and Bailey again...with BO and now Strev sprinkled in....and being able to hit ground running from game one...whats not to like
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!!
