Well that loss stung last night. Not happy with the decision to kick the FG but that can be discussed elsewhere  All in all there was a lot of improvement this year over last year and looking like they are trending upwards. If Walters can pull off another great draft and some more key FAs this offseason I like our chances going into 2017. Who is on the FA watch list and what areas are we in desperate need of fixing?

Jesus Christ....that's hilarious. Sounds like quite the pedigree!

Fwiw, Lawless speculating that Argos will try to pry Manziel's rights from TiCats, if they feel his head is on straight...

Or as Tburg probably will put it - 8 different NFL teams?  Why are we hiring a guy who can't seem to hold down a job?

Hope they can get him to Toronto, and hope he can stick with it there.

They need something to get people going to games, and interested in the team/league, Johnny  would help quite a bit with that.

I haven't really thought much about this yet but

 

SIGN EDDIE UP.

 

Would not go nuts money wise but if he would agree to a reasonable contract I would do it. Him and Donny O were a good combo could be the same with Thomas.

Bring Steele in

He definitely did fall out of the rotation last year. But I'd be pretty happy with him and Thomas as a combination locking down one DT spot.

This is reminding me of when Lawless wrote about thirty articles about Mike Richards and the Jets...

WPG boy too. COME HOME EDDIE!!!

I've sat next to his sister at a wedding(my wife went to school with them). Said he wants to play here, timing has just never been right. Now seems like pretty great timing.

Am told Marc Trestman has spoken to Corey Chamblin but no formal offer was made to the former Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach. #CFL

sign Eddie, drop Tennant and let Butcher dvelop slowly

The roster bonus is for the players.

Even if they were likely going to cut him, if there was no roster bonus, Edmonton could hang on to him at least through training camp, then make a decision based on what they have in camp.

The roster bonus forces the team to decide before the season starts to commit to a player.  And if they cut him, then there is still time to catch on with another team. 

One could argue that it would be better for the player if they negotiated the roster bonus to be paid before free agency.

He is never playing in the CFL

 

I'm in the camp that says sign Eddie Steele so that he and Thomas can man a DT spot.

Wow great for him. Good thing he doesnt have to fall back on that doctor money....

Pretty amazing considering his other options.  The Chiefs (and other teams) were a bit hesistant to go after him because they weren't sure how long he'd want to play.  Guess he's proven his doubters wrong!
