Woli's signing is a good indication things are starting to move....Best budz with Streve and a just a great go to guy when we're in tough....I wonder if Wolitarsky has some inside info on where Streve is headed??

I know we're one of them. Ed Tait slipped it into one of his recent articles.
Winnipeg now has 10 selections in the 2024 CFL Draft — each of its picks in every round, a bonus in the second round, 20th overall, as a reward for snaps by Canadian players in 2023 and now Ottawa’s fifth-round choice, 40th overall, secured from the Brown trade. The Blue Bombers will pick 8th, 17th, 20th, 28th, 37th, 40th, 46th, 55th, 64th and 73rd overall.

........gotta be a diamond or two in that bunch......And I know we always pick wisely so Walters will have his cup full and hopefully it brims over

Good Luck to Brown in Ottawa (except when we ....you know)....Getting a 5th rounder was better than getting zippo as he was definitely moving on....Savvy move by the Redblacks as they can add a credible contender for the qb. job....along with the other 15 they have in the fold..lol...They can start dumping qb.s now knowing they have some nice potential in Dru

hope this is a small domino that triggers another announcement soon... because I'm tired of every other fan base getting some good news lately!
yeah....sometimes it appears we aren't doing very much AND then Walters springs one us, like the deal with Kenny....A few more cash saving deals will/should net us something big and definitely help the club with fa's
-
Gittens was/is no slouch and Jones finally did something right....For value , Elks win this one....Ceressna is an off and on player....looks good on a rush and then disappears....TO is definitely going to have to swing more deals, as their former D coach is going to scalp them...I wonder if we're having a good look at their roster and contemplating a move???

I didn't get married until I was almost 32. I had my fun.
Got me beat by a couple of yrs....tied the knot at 29....I've always told my son ....live large while you're young and single....Good advice isn't always heeded....he was snared at 20...but he's happy....so was I

Yeah, my days at the U of M with parties, beer bashes & socials. Then being single after I graduated & started working full time. Spent a lot of time in the bars. I have more than a few stories I won't ever tell.
AHHHH the single life....I could post a few occurences of the 'good life' that would curl a few people's hair ...BUT it would be just an 'old fart' reminiscing about a time long gone....The socials were the best .....some of them never seemed to end....As far as all of the women that passed through my door ....reflecting back , like the ol song goes..'I'm glad they came along'

Streve in talks with Walters about his return....Thought it was a good idea but didn't have much faith in it really happening....IF Chris returns here that would give us a very nice winning combo behind centre, and seeing how Brown is moving along , the move fills the bill....I believe Booch predicted Streveler would return ....his prediction looks like it's going to happen....Great call Booch if you happen to be lurking

I think that's how it worked out, but they certainly didn't pay him those big dollars to just stand on the sidelines and watch. They wanted the every-down back that Harris was 5 years ago.
Yeah....but it didn't happen AND when you come right down to it Andrew was nic'd and out of the lineup for quite a stretch....most likely why we insisted on him having a thorough medical before signing him, which is why his nose got out of joint ( and no, that was not an injury)
-
Harris was more of a mentor in T.O.....I doubt they are after another one in Brady as Ouellette seems to be filling the bill there....Brady O is going to have a tough road to sign anywhere in this league for 200K ....other priorities will dictate that....Somebody like Jonesie in edm. might throw that kind of cash at him, as he seems to have a penchant for that BUT I think MBT has swallowed up most of his play money for 24' ...Ottawa could make an offer but as I see things right now, that's where players careers go to die or suffer badly...Sets up some interesting negotiations for Walters concerning Brady O
-

Has Brady been listening to his old pal Andrew....IF he has and thinks by going down the road Harris took when he left the club, ..welll in my opinion, it's the wrong choice.....I really like the kid and appreciate what he's done for the club but I hope he's not sandbagging himself as far as we're concerned....Sure the 'sky is the limit' BUT this is the CFL and I don't see the nfl breaking down his door for him to play down there

He's one of the top CFL receivers & the terms are good for both sides. Also heard that Dickenson said they can't afford to bring in another qb so Maier is his guy. One less CFL team to go to when he lands.
Doors closing all over the place for the pivot position....Ottawa seems the best place for Brown at the moment UNLESS Masoli decides and the team decides they want to continue with his services

Longer term deal is a good idea, maybe Walters can convince Schoen to sign if he offers him $650k over 3 years.
I like the idea of longer term contracts for established stars...First we have to find out what Schoen's figure is for reupping here and go from there.....Good tactic for players you really covet BUT in Schoen's case I believe he's still interested in something down south...Until that's no longer an issue I don't think any talks will be taking place
-
Brown's agent says he's mostly looking for a place where he can compete for the starting pivot job....Ottawa and Calgary seem to be the locations for that scenario....Says that money isn't necessarily the motivating factor for the move....Odd words coming from an agent and a bad negotiating statement going into talks with another club....Good luck Dru

Ed Hervey says, I'm the only a-hole allowed on this team.
AND he said personally, that will be the last discussion on this matter period..There's no need to dig into what these two A holes have done in the past and there's especially no need to start digging around in mine....Talk about birds of a feather
-
So how long does Bo Levi hang together for Ham in 24'.....Some players just don't get when they should be doing something else...I guess as long as the money is coming in you hang around...Even with the reduction in his salary , Bo is still being over paid.....Sure he has experience but that's all he's bringing to the Cats....Being named the starter???? doesn't make sense....I'm a big fan of Brown AND want him to stay here but man ...IF I'm looking at the future, the Cats have a blind spot when comparing Bo to Dru for their qb.....Am I missing something here..After saying that ,the qb. spots are narrowing daily and could dry up as far as Brown finding a spot to land ... one that would be a fit for him......

I guess there is always the possibility that this was expedited because Mace tried to poach Younger, but I doubt it
I agree AND if Mace would have been successful in signing Buck as the head honcho, we could have easily have said goodbye to Younger....Certainly worked out better for us all around
-
Solid and fantastic moves by the team....I was pushing for the Younger move and I think it's very wise to keep Ritchie around for his mentoring and input.....Miller was definitely in the cards for Specials....glad they have seen fit to give one of the most proficient special teams guy in the league the job....excellent

I recall him being told that either, tbh. But he's under contract so he's the one who doesn't have a choice, really.
Doesn't preclude him from asking for a trade.....been done before
...""Don't get your first line...You recall him being told he was the starter...or you don't believe he was told he was going to be the starter in 24'....which is it???
Which Vets do we cut next season

A lot on here were, as far back as pre training camp last year, were aware of the fact that we needed a true nose tackle...It was mentioned on this site ad nauseam...The average fan could see it, yet we brought in very little talent to compete for the job....Adequate is not acceptable when your goal is a Cup win....We have to unearth another 'Stove', who can plug up the middle and put mega pressure on the qb.....Glaring weakness last year and we paid for it...I hope management has awakened to the problem and brings in some serious competition and quit farting around
