And with CJ auditioning 3000 players in the off season, the best he can do is to grab Bennett. Are McManus and Walters that good at finding talent? Must be.
How dare you question the great and powerful Oz?

no qb who cant throw the deep ball is worth 400-450k in the cfl. If hank doesn\t retire, and if he + Durant don't sign before FA begins Nichols value goes way down.
He's worth around that 350k range at tops. Wouldn't be against him being able to earn 400-450k if he produces elite level TDs and maintains a low turnover rate but he certainly hasn't shown to be able to do that currently despite his big up turn this year.
Talk is that Burris is going to go out on top, so he's off the market if this is so. I would put the same offer simultaneously to both Nichols and Durant with the understanding that whoever accepts first gets the contract.

The hold back on Nichols wasn't injuries prior to this year. it was lack of yards and especially touch downs produced.
How is Durant worn out? Same int to td ratio as Nichols in the same amount of games, less picks and more yards. With a horrible OL.
Hank is a nut case, and lost his job for the first half of this year and when he came in the team looked worth then with Harris. Best qb in the league over the last two years? not even in the discussion.
Bennett and Davis as passers are very similar, but Bennett has shaky at best accuracy. Not losing any sleep if we did lose him.
Put away the Ambien. Bennett is a goner with hardly a ripple.

^^ The other side of the coin is that the ratings are down 12% from last year, according to non-TSN spun tweets (Drew Edwards)...
With so many dismal, non-competitive teams this year, it would not be a surprise. There has to be drama to games, and butt-kickings are only good for the team on top.

Well at least there's Bacon, and where there's Bacon there's hope.
Gotta love Kevin.

To tell the truth, I don't think we would lose much with Glenn behind center. All we need then is a promising backup or two and we are set.

Aw, come on. I'm sure if we pooled our Canadian Tire money....

We are close to having all the ingredients we need to win the Grey Cup next year. The one thing we do need is a bruising run stoppppping middle line backer.
Beyond that we have just about enough to do it all i.e. along with a little bit of luck and good fortune ... and luck comes from confidence ...
We need tweaks on the D-Line and receiver ... other than that we just need greater maturity and with it a tiny touch of swagger
I would not trade either of our first round draft picks (our near term future development) for a player that would improve the club immediately, even for a player like Edmonton's QB Franklin
I would not worry much about the free agent market in February ... just concentrate on keeping what we have ... with the money we do have for free agency concentrate it, spend it on Canadians with promise, not on potential Canadian has-beens
The two missing ingredients are a MLB and growing maturity ... that will get us there
And we could have had Taylor Reed for free when Calgary cut him.

I would love to see the Stamps lose, even if it means Burris crows some more.

I believe you will get your wish. I'm calling Stumps by 14 at least.
Did you see Dunigan's interview with Burris? Dunigan basically asked him if he really believes his crap about getting no respect. Then Dunigan asked him to let it go. Burris replied about what a great athlete he was and how he wanted to be able to tell everyone to "shove it". Yep, he's an ass.
Soooo.......you don't want him in blue and gold, then?

Thats not even close to true .... specious thinking ... maybe five or ten minutes in certain games ... about the same in most ... but we won't know unless and until we test it out .... perhaps in preseason games
I may have exaggerated for effect but since they went to this appeal process, the games have been noticeably longer 20-30 minutes.With an unlimited amount of appeals.....

RE: 2017. The Bombers had a lot of good fortune in that mid-season win streak which deserted them at the end ,but I do not how much we can count on a similar aligning of planets next year.

I think this would make a good headline-"Calgary -U lost!" Am rooting for Ottawa.

We may have our lacy underthings all bunched up for no reason. Nichols may be asking for the moon but reality may intrude as it often does.

Looks like it could be worse than that:
Does anyone have have Durant's phone number?

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Lawless reports that the Bombers and Nichols are far apart in negotiations. Apparently, Nichols is asking in the 400k range and if Durant is still available when it gets down to the short strokes, Nichols may have priced himself out of Blue and Gold.

Nichols Contract
in Blue Bomber Discussion
Posted · Edited by tracker
I would be very comfortable with Glenn and Franklin should Nichols be unreasonable as to his value; we could sign both Glenn and Franklin to contracts that the starter eats steak, the backup eats tube steak.
