Does this mean 3down overplayed the drama of the situation?!?!?

And they lost their receiving core

Or even re-structuring deals to create cap space.

If teams did the same thing, you could make that argument.

I do normally lean that way, but this off season has been a little nuts and I don’t blame him. He’s not young and should absolutely try to get his bag.

As far as I know, yes. But it’s only in the last year of your new deal.

I would be on his side, the salaries have inexplicably exploded and he’s getting less than half of what he’d make on the open market…but they offered him a raise and he’s still being a diva. EDIT: it has occurred to me that BC probably wanted to add years to his contract in exchange for a raise - which would also be understandable that Ryhmes would not be interested in that.

I swear Noeller just wants the whole league to fold and for us to just announce ourselves as Grey Cup Champions every year.

Because the team can’t until they’re officially signed. But obviously a few teams are very confident in certain signings.

I mean, sure. But I think all the the signings we've seen indicate the plan was to move on.

I don't think here was an option. It was either home or pay day. BC must have given him a good deal.

I actually thought there was a good chance Sask would pick up Couture. They are absolutely screwed.

Happened to Nevis, happened to Stove, happened to Sayles. We just don't pay American tackles. Here comes the next rookie.

I was thinking about this today too, there's a lot of big names leaving. Just straight up arrogance on DD's part thinking he can recruit replacements?

I think it's safe to say we have to trust in our scouting staff to find guys playing on rookie contracts for the last couple of positions.

Have you seen our receiving core? He might not see the ball until September.

It is more than I expected, but I’m sure Walters knows there’s going to be some cap room at the end of the year to do some restructuring and make a couple of these bigger contracts more palatable for 2024.

He’s gonna get 2 years in here so he can sign a deal with guarantees next time around.

That was also before the Dunbar signing. For those that didn't click the link, Dunbar is receiving 200k and up each year.

If Montreal was allowed to spend that kind of cash, they wouldn't have lost half their team.

It's between us and the Saskatchewan Overpay's.

True, but most of those weren't winning seasons. I will say that most of the bloating receiving contracts we've seen crash and burn recently have been a receiver leaving a successful situation for the big pay day and not delivering. Do we honestly think that Collaros and Lawler wouldn't do special things if they were back together?

That's why it says "agree to terms" and not "signed".

Oh, obviously that's out of the question. I said earlier that the most I see anyone offering him is in the 275 range, so like Mike said, try to get him for 250.
