I'm sure Calgary and Sask were very interested... likely most of the East teams.
Sask. disqualified themselves when they failed miserably to low-ball Harris. Hufnagel keeps SMS money locked up in a dusty old purse, doling out dimes like a senile grandmother on Christmas day. Dickie whines for more, but Huff just shakes his finger at him and tells him to behave.

I was about to to post this myself.
Ottawa ain’t the bombers. They got some issues there. At one point Arbuckle was the second coming also.
seems when u take the qb out the only system he’s known up north, things can quickly go downhill for that QB. I wish Dru the best tho.
Ottawa don’t have a vet like collaros in their qb room
Masoli?

And we pay Kenny, and Demski, and still want to sign Schoen. Teams can afford multiple high end receiving contracts.
Certainly at the going rate for top end receivers, but Lawler and Lewis salaries are anomalies that a lot of GM's are not going to accept willingly.

so when the Bombers did the Jade Etienne / Drew Willy pre-FA trade in 2014 they signed Willy the same day as they got his rights. It'll be interesting to see how quickly the redblacks sign him -- would they have made this deal without assurances from Brown's people that Brown would sign with Ottawa?
I think Arbuckle was the only QB that couldn't reach a deal with the club he was traded to, but then he had to negotiate with Marcel Desjardins. Turns out Marcel was right.

IMO, he's a great fit. We disagree on that point.
Hopefully, its a moot point and he's about to re-sign with us.
The Als also pay Natl. receiver Kaion Julien-Grant around $170k, so they might not be interested in pursuing Schoen.

It's not last year's salary you need to look at, it is this year's potential salary.
If BO is asking for $250K, savings are way more than 320
Brady won't be getting anywhere near $250k, $200k tops including incentives. For Walters sake hopefully Schoen is looking at the BC receiver contracts and not up at Lawler or Lewis, and pray they don't share the same agent.

that was before Strev came back in equation....I can see Schoen and Strev in at expense of BO...Prukop..and now Brown,
Your math is wonky, you cut maybe $320k in assets and you want to add at least $500-$600k in assets, considering they'd have to bring in another player to replace Brady.

Not necessarily. Do they have any other big receiver deals on the books?
No, Acklin was their top guy last season and he came in at $140k, Nate Behar was slightly behind him at $137k.

The most dangerous receiving core when they play indoors, maybe. All that size hasn't done squat for that team when it counts (ex: in the cold at IGF, come playoff time).
I blame that more on their QB's limitations.

It helps keep prices down when your top 2 are not nearly as good as our top 2
Totally disagree, the top 2 receivers on either team could be interchangeable, and overall top to bottom the Lions have the league's most dangerous receiving corps IMO. Looking over their roster at this time of the year they have 7 receivers 6'-3" or taller, including a 6'-8" 225 lb. monster. The Bombers have 2, Alston and BOLO, whos' probably headed out the door.

The Lions have done a great job re-signing their top end receivers for just over $200k, the Bombers are disadvantaged by the prospect of paying their 2 top end guys at least $50k more each.

Why would you think it would piss other players off?
Added career stress and anxiety of waiting around not knowing if they will be looking for a new job in a new town with new people within a few months.

They aren't getting any from what I understand. So, why the delay by these 2 players?
If Brady is serious about "getting paid" he might wait until FA to see what offers come his way to max. his value, same goes for Schoen for all we know. Sooner than later Walters needs to set offers within his budget and stick with them, can't let two players disrupt the game plan and piss off half the team in the process. If a number of valued players (Jeffcoat, Bailey, Walker, Grant, Castillo etc.) get within 2 weeks of FA without being signed, they might decide to wait it out to see what happens. Which could end up costing the Bombers more money and risk losing players they had no intention of parting with.

Kenny helping out the team and taking a bit of a haircut.
https://3downnation.com/2024/01/16/kenny-lawler-restructures-contract-with-winnipeg-blue-bombers/
Sounds similar to what the Riders did with Harris, not much of a savings but every bit counts.

I honestly expected him to be released. Especially after Daniels and Orimolade restructured their contracts, I figured that if KGJ didn't also restructure that he wouldn't be an Argo this season.Tough choices still to be made... Peters, McManis, Pickett, Hendrix, Ouellette... And naming whoever our replacement for Mace at DC is.
Have the Argos hired a DC yet to replace Mace?

When he’s the no1 target down field and woli is the 5th he’s more productive. Imo if they both got the same offensive role I think woli would out perform him. And he has the versatility to be a great blocker at the line or down field.
Cgjr is a good wr idk who id compare him to. Demski is tough because he’s a converted rb who could play rb in the cfl from all we’ve seen. He’s the best jet motion guy in the league, the best blocker down field, and a great wr. Idk who compares skill wise to Demski.I think the closest comparison to Demski is Begelton, both are tough, elusive and good at accumulating YAC.

Confirms Harris didn't take much of a pay cut from O'Day, leaving no room for Brown.
The Riders turned his $250,000 February 1 roster bonus into a signing bonus within his reworked 2024 contract. He has a $189,500 base salary, $15,000 in marketing money, $13,800 in housing and $5,000 in travel for a total of $473,300 in hard money. Harris has playtime incentives worth up to $27,000, broken down to $1,500 per game for playing 51 percent or more of the offensive snaps.
Despite taking his total down $24,700 from $525,000 to $500,300, Harris takes home more money after taxes. American players who maintain a permanent residence south of the border are taxed 15 percent on any signing bonus — much less than their usual Canadian tax rate.

RedBlacks will have to wrestle him from the clutches of Sask first, apparently. Hate the thought of Brown in Sask BTW:
...." O’Day would not answer questions about (Dru) Brown directly while he remains under contract with Winnipeg but did admit landing the quarterback being dubbed ‘the next one’ by fans and media makes for a nice hypothetical. “That would be a very attractive scenario,” he grinned. “That’s the idea is you’d like to have the succession plan in place." https://3downnation.com/2024/01/13/riders-very-aware-of-need-for-trevor-harris-succession-plan-at-quarterback/#google_vignette
Trevor Harris may have taken a haircut in Sask, but it's nowhere near as big as the one Masoli just received from Ottawa.
"The 35-year-old receives a $45,000 signing bonus in his reworked agreement totalling $133,800 in hard money. He can earn up to $90,000 more in playtime incentives, broken down to $5,000 per game for playing 51 percent or more of the team's offensive snaps. His maximum earning potential is $236,800."
In 2023 Masoli was scheduled to earn.
Hard money: $425,000
Maximum value: $433,000The RB's are opening the door wide for Brown to step on in at $250k + playtime incentives. Masoli will make tasty trade bait mid-season if he comes back healthy and in shape.

I think Ottawa jumped at the early chance to grab Rhymes at a negotiated price so they wouldn't have to take the chance of getting outbid on Schoen, I think they're done. Rhymes, Acklin, Behar, Shaq Evans, and Justin Hardy offers Brown decent targets.
