If Dalton wants to “reset the market” he can leave too. 
 
 

When you say “people” are you talking about me? 
 
If so, then you are disregarding the fact I said that I don’t blame him for wanting to get paid, that he is a great player, and would love to have him back. 
 
However, a giant RB contract doesn’t make sense for our team IMO. He can go reset the market somewhere else. That is essentially “I want free agent money” talk in the CFL. Certainly for a RB. But this has been explained many times now. 
You’re talking about the best WR in the league who has led the league in receiving  TDs  basically since he stepped on the field. We aren’t talking “really good”. We are talking all time level good. 
 
I know you want to make what I am saying into something more dramatic. I don’t value Oliveira as much as Schoen for the reasons that have been mentioned many many times about the position he plays. That is what it boils down to.  
The same way I would have loved to have Desjarlais back - but not at that price. Good for him, moving on. 

 
 

yes end of discussion. 
 
I was leading the Brady for MOP parade before most people were but ain't no way a running back like him is worth re-setting the market. 

Yup, that's what got me into the "pfft, he can walk " camp.
Shades of this chucklefuck.

Schoen has not posted a Kane like money tweet...and this is a passing league. Add to it that we can replace BO with a cheaper option with a combo couple of American Rbs that we can swap in and out to keep opposing defenses guessing like Calgary does with Carey and Logan and we can be a better offensive team. Replacing Schoen would be a hell of alot harder. It's what makes the Bombers better or at least as good that matters.

not really anything to be ashamed of if it happens in Boston with two of our top forwards out.

Kyle Connor added to the all star game 

Me most of the time reading all of the back and forth banter here:

Keep Connor McDavid's mom far far away....

I’d lose the word again.
I so hope this blows up in their face.

Oilers adding Perry, smart move minimal risk. More reason's to hate the Oilers again!

Walters is the most proactive GM in the league. He's trying. What we're already seeing early in the offseason is that the XFL/USFL merger is leaving less options for players and more are seeing CFL as a viable one. The CFL has had a hard time bringing up neg list recruits in recent years because of the plethora of jobs available south of the border. I have a feeling this year is gonna be a better recruiting year in recent memory.

Woli back! 

With the XFL and USFL merging and eliminating a lot of their teams, there should be a bunch of NT types on the market. Those leagues favored the big NTs and now a bunch have been freed up.

It pains me to think of losing BO, but at the end of the day hard decisions will have to be made. I want our QB of the future, and the most dangerous receiver in the league here. It just makes us a better team. I really can't see how we can fit them all. If we can that would be some kind of Walters magic.

agree....If it came down to it..we a better team with Scoen/Strev than we are with a bloated BO salary...especially when we can get same out put there with an entry level, or second contract import (Hello Mills or Logan)

being local should have no bearing on signing especially if it throws the SMS out of whack and you have to let someone else of vale walk....bottom line is wins...not employing locals...33k will still come out and support if the running back was from here....or Buttitch Arkansas

And prior to Harris we had none but yet the club survived.  Having locals does have off-field value but the club will be just fine with or without BO.

If BO was the only one, it might mean more but we have multiple locals.

I could see a trade by us pre or during draft to add an established talent....or move up
cup....Canadian draft is a crap shoot at best...prob 25% of all picks amount to some kind of legit/game changing play...rest you could all throw in a pail and toss one to each team randomly till they all gone

Now that we are being rewarded for it, playing 8 Canadians at times and relying less on the new Nationalized import rules seems like less of a failure to utilize the roster and more of a strategy to lock down a bonus draft pick. Great incentive to play Nationals even when you have Nationalized imports with snaps to spare

He is still a free agent come February... If he feels that the ALLCAPS is not a good fit for him, he can leave. 

I have no proof but it seems reasonable to assume that Brown wanted to go there , and the Bombers accommodated him...
