Kyle Walters you absolute genius.    How lucky we are to have this guy as GM! 
 

One year deal for Dalton.
 
230k.
 
STEAL

Welcome back Dalton 

Yes he did, what are you even talking about? The only guy he didn’t have a better YPC than was Kevin Brown, who didn’t take goal line touches and is going to naturally get a bump in his YPC from that.
Also, where is this “100 more than any other back” bullshit coming from? He had 25 less carries than James Butler and over 400 more yards. Is that significant enough for you? Hell the only full time back he had 100 more than was Mills and he wasn’t even the guy the whole year and missed 3 games.

I dont think the production is what makes brady unique, its the production combined with the versatility and the passport. 1500 yards is rarer now because teams just dont run that much these days. 
 The Offence was pretty different with harris, a lot more check down to harris based than last year. 

from my take yeah...and if he was in a traditional setup he's nbe getting beaten like a rented mule...so sacrificed other aspects to cover that...I think Sask gonna be a lil disappointment as they dont have a guard like Neuf there to help out
 
Kinda looks like that....and I like!

Jeff Hamilton reporting Brady took less to stay in Winnipeg and talked 250k+ with other teams.

hoping BOLO is just seeing what the offers are, and then will resign here once his value is determined...would hate to lose him after developing him the past several yrs...dude has all the tools...he just needs the opportunity

Despite the narrative, I don’t own the team. It isn’t my money. How they choo Choo choose to allocate funds is nuna my biznatch. I just cheer for the logo on the front and sometimes name on the back. 
 
you know who is happy Brady is back. Lost and abused puppies and so am I.  
 
it’s an overpay. No it’s not. It’s market value. Ppl seem to be stuck in the old cfl where guys were paid peanuts for being the MOC and really 2000 all purpose yards. Brady is the best back in the league, it’s not close. Fair value in my opinion. 

I agree. I would also add that the change to RT will also help him. The less hits collaros takes the better he performs. This is universally true with qbs, but soo much more so with collaros. A comfortable collaros can make scoring a TD on every drive look easy. An un comfortable collaros looks like hes gonna snap and soon retire. 

I think you're overestimating the production we'd get out of random american back. There's a lot of backs around the league....Brady was several cuts above.

If we’re moving on from a few guys like Hardrick, Jeffcoat and some of the special teamers who were making 100k+ then we may as well spend that money somewhere.
If we can afford to give Cam Lawson a 60k raise, Brady getting not quite double that works just fine for me if it works fine for them.

I don’t know why none of you have realized yet that Booch IS Damian Jackson. 

I’m genuinely baffled at some of the reactions in here lol have we just turned into a ridiculously spoiled and entitled Rideresque fanbase who thinks everyone should take less money for the honour of playing here?
The Bombers just signed the MOP finalist, MOC winner to a two year contract in the prime of his career. Take the hometown element out of it.
MBB members, with no information on other offers, negotiations, the Bombers’ internal cap, how much other players get paid, how much the Bombers were anticipating paying, how much Brady asked for, where we’ve spent or plan to spend other dollars, where we’ve saved or plan to save other dollars or really genuinely any information about anything at all other than just a bunch of retweets from guys they only trust if the information suits their narrative: “tOo MuCh”
 
what?

No issue with the money at all. Counts for the ratio, best at his position by far. Players of his talent coupled with the passport do not grow on trees. Over the last 20 years, we're talking Jon Cornish and Andrew Harris. End of list.
Worth every penny.

I think it was the WF game against BC, on the opening drive they fed Brady 10 times consecutively marching the ball 70 yds. for a TD, that was the most definitive statement of Bradyball.

A Streveler and BO combo to run and grind out games in final 5 mins or so of a game tho will be a tough nut to swallow for some defenses now tho...and be very fun to watch

I really think there’s a notable absence of negotiations being held with the top receivers and I’m guessing it’s because everyone has realized paying 300k to a Lawler or Lewis doesn’t mean anything if you suck at QB.
My gut tells me right now that Schoen may have been hoping for an offer from Ottawa to go play with Dru, but now that it’s probably not coming, he’ll be back here at 260k-ish

Brady and Streveler to finish out games 

Club needed to do this you can’t have a top ten player in the league from your city playing for another team. Just from a PR point this a win.

Wow, what a way to kick off the day! I'm absolutely pumped that Brady's sticking around! My health has been taking a major hit lately and I've been feeling at an all-time low, this news is like a touchdown for my spirit, I haven't felt this fired up since November

IF it comes down to losing Schoen to keep Brady, I am 110% okay with that.
Ignoring being from Winnipeg - We're talking about the best player at his position AND counting as a National, AND handling the ball typically 15-20 times a game, occasionally sometimes more.
As the weather turns, running the ball gets increasingly important, while Schoen, is at a position where we already have great talent, is usually the easiest position to find new, American talent, and only handles the ball a few times a game.
Don't get me wrong - I love Schoen. He's a gritty SOB and among the best at his position too...but given the above, if forced to choose (and hopefully we don't have to), I'm keeping Brady every day of the week and twice on Sundays. It's not particularly close for me whatsoever.

I’m thinking Brady got probably between 210-220k and honestly, I’m fine with that 

Beyond pumped! Best RB in the league, great human being, and local hometown boy too.   Those type of guys just don’t come along often.   
Wouldn’t surprise me at all if it’s cheaper than we’re all expecting too.   
Bet they still sign Schoen too, hoping Walters finds a way to work his magic!
