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?

Argos sign Jimmy Ralph... as if they need more NI REC prospects...

I think they're planning on starting two Canadian receivers so I guess that's why they seem to be stockpiling them.

Noel, Jones, Coombs... and then four more TCF?  I guess.

Seems like terrible use of their ratio...

Well they would probably want two backups and a developmental guy.  So that's 7 bodies competing for 5 spots.  Seems reasonable to me.

I'm not sure the ratio comes into it at this point... there's no ratio in TC/pre-season.

The Bombers will start one NI receiver and they'll probably have 4 somewhere on their roster.  I can't recall a year where they haven't had minimum 6 NI receivers in camp.  Some seasons it's been 7.

Oookay...

FWIW, his numbers are better than any NAT receiver currently on the Bombers' roster.

You can't possibly be this stunned....did you miss an entire thread of electricity puns based on his name?

Sadly, yes.

The Chris Jones franchise building method ...

 

Sounds like he'll be doing this while rehabbing his injury.

Does this mean Buck can come out of retirement and be our 3rd QB if Nichols gets injured?

You do a lot of memes. Some good, some not so good. But this one you posted hit it out of the park.

 

Here's to two more long holdouts in Riderville.

Jones and Murphy need to reboot the old datebase so that they realize you need to pay market value, not try to reset the market.

This makes Riderfans criticism of Walters pre-draft contract signing of Ekakitie last week look completely foolish, but that's par for the course.  Defenders to the gates!

Riders management. By far worst in the CFL.

Great post on riderfans Mike. Also that websit looks like crap you think with such a big fan base they could have better designed site.

The @calstampeders have signed 7 of their #CFLDraft Picks.    

Alouettes sign all eight 2017 CFL draftees en.montrealalouettes.com/2017/05/19/alo… #AlsMTL #CFL

And of course, the Bombers have signed 5 so far.

The Riders, in keeping with their management style, have made their weekly CFL contribution in their typical negative way. Dickin  around with your top draft picks? What a way to leave an imprint...again. Thank the lorb, that we don't have this kind of bullshirt going on around here. 

 

It looks like Jones loves to throw money around as long as it's not coming out of his budget.  I wonder how much it cost them to fly in every coach and scout for the CFL Combine, wine and dine them and put them up at the Saskabush Hilton for a week?

Didn't they pay some gopher to run pizza's for them as well...Sask. motto....spare no expense, until it comes down to getting their draft guys and future on the dotted line....Corky's way.....what a flunkie

Jones must be close to desperate to regain some sort of credibility and maybe he is going to play hardball here to try to salvage his machoness.

Just struck me that its weird that a second rounder is holding out.

Also how much does there need to be a reset on picks and $. Ekakittie got $88,000 guaranteed, didn't JSJ get $75000 last year? Is it worth dicking over 13,000?
