Fatty Liver

Fantastic! He's a good punt returner and could turn into a decent receiver if he could mimic Dressler.

Before he made Brady the highest paid RB in CFL history by a large margin, he probably checked in with his 2 co-pilots to see if they were onboard with the proposition. Logically he would have thought not to pay him because it far exceeded his RB budget, and most on here would have agreed with that decision. Wade may have seen it differently, considering his main objective is to fill the stands with butts and sell booze.

I think it was Wade giving him permission to go off script.

Who was that? I don't remember him making offers to other team's FA's, he was handcuffed trying to re-sign his own. Amazingly stupid, Rourke earns $200k more than Zach but now costs the Lions less in SMS!

It looks like Walters is returning to his positional balanced budget this off-season, especially if he doesn't bid high on Lawler again. Last year he threw fiscal responsibility out the window when he blew his wad on 3 offensive players and let other useful players slip away due to lack of funds. The balanced approach gives him the financial ability to participate in FA once again even if he can't be one of the big spenders, as long as he's prepared to make the hard cuts rationally when and where they need to be made.

Got a link? Likely means it's an internal hire, surprise, surprise, that would be a bad surprise.

Neither would want to be limited to a set snap count, try Kyrie or BA.

Who are you referring to, Haba? Garbutt couldn't ask for a better opportunity to establish himself as a starter, the job was wide open with no incumbent in sight and minimal competition in his way. No longer the case, Vaughters will probably be given the starters job.

He forgot... JAKE!

The other whiner. Rourke decides who gets to FIFO now.

$105k was a pretty good deal for a solid Natl. receiver and glue guy, still don't understand why they let him go.

QB Bryan Scott is also available, I don't know if they determined he was inadequate last year when he bounced back and forth between the Argos and Bombers late in the season.

Arbuckle, Shiltz, Cameron Duke...any could be a better option than Masoli or sticking with Dolegala.

Mitchell could be considered semi-expensive.

Wheatfall wasn't physically lacking so with a year under his belt hopefully he has a better grip on the playbook and the CFL game, at least he should have a step up on the rookies. He's a good placeholder until Pokey comes back. VA throwing to Lawler could be scary.

Don't know which teams would see Lawler as a must have addition at $50k more than other top receivers are making, most teams are well set in terms of receiving talent and already have a star or two they're paying high dollar.

Wow Rhymes falls out of favour again, didn't BC release him prior to FA last season as well?

May have had an offer from Mtl., do you think Walters just made up a number?

Clearly Kramdi negotiated his contract with leverage, if Walters decided not to pay what he asked for in order to save $20k, good chance he goes back home and plays for the Als and the Bombers lose a solid Natl. asset they developed to a competitive team. Do that often enough and they end up in the Stamps position.

That seems incredibly cheap for the numbers Schoen puts up, gives Walters $50k savings on one contract he can push towards Lawler, who rarely earns his salary.

According to Dunk lot's of teams pursuing Mike Rose. Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Saskatchewan Roughriders, Edmonton Elks and B.C. Lions pursuing veteran DL Mike Rose.

Not likely to find a decent one with any CFL experience, if they were making min. they probably were not playing much. I think Vaughters is the closest they'll get to signing a big name D-lineman, at least he's well known. Being short and stocky his game is more like Micah Johnson than Willy or Jeffcoat.

Where did you get this? If they were grooming Cole for Safety, wouldn't they have used him in that spot late last season instead of bringing in Nick Taylor?

Sure pick up Hollins if you want to bring dissension into the locker room, he's one of the guys that voted for Adams over Rourke and lost, not smart enough to keep his big mouth shut.
