I think about this every now and then and it still bothers me... just imagine what kind of player Charlie would've been if he had put in even half the effort Milt put in... probably the most purely talented player I've ever seen play...

he may have been a little more aggressive than necessary... but he makes a good point... a starter should probably be making more than a back-up... unless said back-up got beat out by a rookie... as for the "woman beating" stuff... I don't know anything about that.... so no comment...

This is an interesting idea... Brian Dobie is known as a great recruiter... "where they play" might be more beneficial to the Bombers than where they were born/developed"... but then again, Bombers, Stamps and Esks would be the only teams with one "big school" to choose from... seems like a disadvantage...

the ratio is currently 7 NI starters... was it ever six??

LOL... you're the one who started that comparison...

"Yeah we signed one of the elite QBs!... this team will be scary good!" -Rider fans, probably

I wouldn't be surprised if the OK for that trade came from ownership... bring in the big name, sell some jerseys and tickets.... hence why Reed still has a job...

https://3downnation.com/2019/02/21/mike-reilly-says-riders-were-a-realistic-possibility-before-choosing-b-c/ Well it's official... if it wasn't for location... Reilly 100% for sure, absolutely guaranteed... would've signed with the Riders...

Does it though?... I'm a fan of Nichols... but based on his performance last year... I don't really think a raise would be in line... just cuz Reilly, BLM and Harris got huge raises, that shouldn't really have an effect on someone already under contract...

good for him... always liked him and I'm glad he is able to extend his career... hopefully the Argos fan doesn't expect too much out of him though...

I'm glad we didn't... Walker is great but 285 for a receiver is pretty excessive... especially with no guarantee of success... or a healthy season...

Looking at this... I'd like to see an couple upgrades to our Canadian content... ideally someone like Ackie and probably a couple draft picks ready to contribute... Maybe someone like Filer to add experience to the O-line... and obviously we could use some help at receiver.... overall not too many holes

I wouldn't mind Logan Couture as a 2nd line center for the Jets... but I'm not sure how a 6'1, 200 lb center would hold up in the CFL... I agree with you... but that "one playoff appearance" was also one Grey Cup win....

The numbers on some of the FA receivers are pretty steep.... Ellingson 250, Walker 280, Posey 200... I guess I see why Walters stayed away from some of these guys...
