That may be the ideal, but it's not the reality.

If she was my daughter I'd advise taking a job working intimately with 100 football players with no other women in sight was not a good idea, something was bound to happen, and it did. For cripes sake, her contract only paid $25,000, she could have made more in any other situation.

In the full length interview I posted earlier, Jeffcoat revealed the Stamps, Lions and Riders were all interested in him, Sask. made him an offer which the other two plus Walters were not able to match, but within a day or two the Riders also signed Malik Carney and withdrew their offer. Instead of accepting an offer well below his self-worth, his agent convinced him to retire.

Bighill's comments regarding Jeffcoat from the Wpg. Sun. "A guy like Jackson is not replaceable," Bighill said in a one-on-one interview Wednesday. "In my mind, the best all-around defensive end I've played with in the CFL. In terms of first down, second down, his impact on the game has been the best I've seen. You look at his numbers in the playoffs and it's a whole other level. He'll be missed. He's a guy who's not replaceable but hopefully a guy people in the building will be able to learn from." Bighill, who is on the executive of the CFL Players Association, can't help but be gutted for the players who played such big roles in getting the team to four straight Grey Cups but were not offered contracts this year. Jeffcoat lamented that there was almost no communication with team management in the lead-up to free agency and Bighill did not like the way things were handled either. "It sucks," he said. "It's part of the business that everyone understands, but it's the terrible part. For some of those guys, if the club was able to figure out who they were going to be able to offer contracts to and who they weren't and could have come out and provided that information immediately, as opposed to waiting toward the days of free agency starting, it just would have been better for guys ... to have more of a heads up. "It's just a better way to approach things. More communication is often better than none to little or waiting till the end. But it's part of the business. The most unfortunate part." https://winnipegsun.com/sports/football/cfl/winnipeg-bluebombers/bighill-thrilled-bombers-were-able-to-sign-big-names-devastated-for-players-let-go

Could be, but Chad Kelly is 6 years younger than Zach, it depends if and when Rourke ever returns.

True, he's not contractually obligated to return to the Lions, maybe he lands in Wpg. after Zach retires.

Never say never, he might be gone for 3 or 4 more years like Strev. but he's still young enough to come back and have a CFL career if he has the desire to. If he ever catches on in the NFL as a #2 QB your assumption is probably right.

Lord have mercy, a Bomber player would never be so crass. 😉

Speaking of Mike Sellers, looks like his health is failing and his family is asking for help. https://www.gofundme.com/f/quality-of-life-for-the-sellers-family?utm_campaign=m_pd+share-sheet&utm_content=podo_podo_control&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer

Expect billionaires like Larry Tanenbaum or Murray Edwards to complain they can't compete with clubs from smaller markets, and this loop-hole will be shut down within a season or two.

Great in depth interview with Jeffcoat, he lays it all out and moves on with a positive frame of mind. This is the edited version of the same video, addressing this year's contract negotiation.

Bailey says goodbye.

Lawler's contract will expire at the end of this season, he was scheduled to make $310k but restructured down to $285k which included a $150k signing bonus, Eugene Lewis is also on an expiring contract paying him $320k this season. The market will determine the price point next season, most teams have shown they are not willing to spend $250k on a single receiver under the current Cap.

Ford is still not listed on the roster for some reason, although Holm was never removed, did Walters mention anything about him in his press conference?

That was 2017 when Zach was butting heads with June Jones, who preferred Masoli, by 2018 he'd moved onto the Riders.

Nah, I'd rather they break in a new receiver* on an ELC instead of inserting a one year plug. *Ontaria Wilson *Ontaria Wilson *Ontaria Wilson Schoen signed a one year deal and might actually ask for more next season, Walters could have to decide between keeping him or Lawler.

Was that based on a ratio adjustment or was Alexander coming back from injury? Kongbo started 2019 on the 6-game IR and once he came back I think it allowed them to replace Hecht with an Import, it was a huge turning point for Hall when he was allowed to go all Import LB's and secondary.

Wieneke is not that fast, so don't think he was ever much of a deep threat, maybe his skill was finding the open spots.

I see Mace brought Edwin Harrison his O-line coach from the Argos with him to Sask., semed to put a pretty decent O-line together in T.O. in the years he was there, maybe he can help pull things together in Regina.

No doubt it's been done with interior lineman often enough, but nobody has come up with the name of a rookie OT starter yet. I suspect it's happened on a team that is out of the playoffs and preparing for the next season, maybe the Elks or RedBlacks?

The veteran players that put their foot in Walters door and negotiated contracts early know how the game is played, the advantage of being proactive demonstrated once again.

Let's re-play the "name a rookie starting at OT?" game, keeping in mind Zach's health rides on his performance.

In the 3DN article referenced here a few days ago, it said Gray was the most expensive of the interior O-linemen, kinda hard to believe he was paid higher than Neufeld, but who knows. He has a M. Eng. so could have forced Walters on his previous contract to match his potential earnings in that field, or he wasn't playing football anymore. He could get a job anywhere, the determining factor whether he retires from football might be salary or his attachment to Wpg.

Based on experience I would pencil Lofton in as the starting RT game #1, they already know his ability and his personality probably fits in well with the team. Rookie O-linemen have to go through Marty Costello school first, if one progresses well, he may get a mid-late season look and take over from Lofton, but probably looking at 2025 for anyone else to establish themselves as the next RT.

Don't really believe that offer myself, he's a gritty receiver but probably not the clean route runner most teams would be looking for at #1 or #2 receiver spot.
