Fatty Liver

Don't know if this is true or not but heard on the Ray and Benny Podcast that Andrew Harris made $235k at his peak, which would have been around 2019. Could be these are the numbers Brady is basing his ask on. Also Milt advising Brady to stay in Wpg. to take advantage of the outside football earnings that will be much more lucrative than any money he can make elsewhere.

Hard to know if Vernon is moving up or down considering the salary he started with the Lions.

John Hodge drinks 3 beers on a podcast and starts making **** up.

Could be BA did not have a great year, struggled with injuries and has lost more than a step.

Lawson was taking more snaps than Jake by the end of the season, they only had 3 DT's in rotation so they all got plenty of reps.

Probably said no to Sask., been there done that, ain't going back.

Get real, Miller earned barely over $100k.

Can't forget about Evan Holm, more than likely we see him back at some point.

If Schoen reaches FA, that won't be the case, he's going to receive a lot higher offers than Brady, and some other team is likely to offer him half the moon, forcing Walters to concede.

They play 6 O-line fronts a lot more than they did 2 years ago, 6th guy is getting plenty of game reps, 7th guy is now the spare. I think they have Kornelson and Adamson coming back from last year. Yoshi maxed out last season at $166k and was nominated top O-lineman in the West, can't see him ever wanting to leave the Bombers willingly for more money, he's so ingrained in the team and the community.

Disagree, Gray rarely gets blown up or overpowered and he and Neufeld are usually the two down field clearing the path for Brady, and the majority of Brady's runs are to the left of C.

....but not real fur coats, that's cruel.

Gives them a whole new way to put the ball in the endzone, from 30 yards in he's a running threat they'll have to pay attention to. The main thing his game was lacking in 2019 was patience, he didn't spend much time looking down field, hopefully he's learned to slow things down and take his time.

Similar to Anthony Bennet, Mason Bennett must be invisible, based on chatter I looked for him all last season and rarely caught sight of him doing anything noticeable. As a rotational player may be ok, but the choice might come down to him or Kongbo.

I think you have this mixed up, when Jeffcoat is out Willie spends most of his time flailing about, the majority of his sacks occur when Jeffcoat is in the lineup. Also not to be forgotten, when the Bomber pass-rush is "handled", Hall's secondary turns to mush.

They both played 14 games last season, Jeffcoat's max was $185k, but his cap cost was probably less than $120k.

Blame the ******* Riders, they just re-signed Anthony Lanier for $250k and he probably sits out more games than Jeffcoat.

Ti-Cats cut Kongbo. https://3downnation.com/2024/01/29/canadian-dl-jonathan-kongbo-says-hes-been-released-by-hamilton-tiger-cats/

Uhhh oh, got caught underpaying appreciated assets. @JohnDHodge Per sources, Jackson Jeffcoat will not re-sign with the Blue Bombers before the CFL's negotiation window opens on Feb. 4. A return to Winnipeg remains possible but it appears the 33-year-old wants to find out what other options are available. #Bombers | #ForTheW | #CFL | #CFLFA

Have to be good at more than run blocking, pass protection and consistent ball snapping ability is probably more important.

Yah, can't see him accepting a demotion from starter willingly.

Sure they could, all they'd have to do is cut the corresponding positional players after signing Bomber FA's and they'd be instantly better in most positions. O'Day claims putting together an improved O-line is his main priority, so spending more/smarter money on the O-line shouldn't be a problem if it improves QB protection. What better way to get ahead quickly than buying out a large chunk of a better teams O-line or an entire coaching staff!

I think it's pretty risky to let players that are willing to re-sign for more or less the same money as last year reach FA, never know what offers they could receive that convince them to leave and screw up the team's continuity and depth. For instance, say Sask. goes all in on their O-line and decides to offer Gray, Kona and Hardrick $30k more than Walters was planning to pay them. All of a sudden, the O-line is at risk of losing 3 of it's starting members and has to find replacements, or Walters ends up coughing up more cash than he originally planned to retain them. This is just a made up example of unexpected things that could happen, I repeat a made up example.

Anyone have a link to a free stream for this game?

Depends what you mean by resetting the market, at the time Bighill first signed in 2018 he became the highest paid D- player in the CFL, only to be eclipsed by Jefferson's signing in 2019. Decent chance Stanley was also the highest paid O-lineman in the league at one time as well.
