What are the options at CND Rec right now? You'd rather old man Getztlaf? No one is suggesting the bombers sign him for $240,000. There is zero harm in bringing him in and letting him compete.

Wouldnt mind having him case one of our 2nd year guys take a step back. Imop watt would be the better WR while JFG the better teams, blocker etc. I've always been curious...what does the P stand for in IMOP?

rebusrankin Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Watt is worth a look. People say don't sign him but are happy with Richards who has done less than Jade his first two years and Coates who in his career has less yards than Watt last year?

Well, potential plays into it, of course. Richards and Coates are 23 and 25. You probably wouldn't say we should re-sign Jeff Keeping because he has way more starts than Michael Couture. wbbfan, sweep the leg, coach17 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the argument against would be Richards up side plus JFG for a steady guy means we dont need watt. But with cfl vet deals not being guaranteed and watt not being a guy whose gonna get a monster bonus to come the cost difference is moot. We arent in a position even with watt of having too much competition at a spot (see montreal and qbs last year) and its our lowest production spot so certainly a push would be good. I think richards needs a big push this year any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBBFanWest Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Is anyone else thrilled by the fact that we're this close to training camp and the most contentious issue is who our 5th receiver is going to be?

GCn20 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I see zero downside to bringing in any NAT WR/SB until we find one that can play and produce. Do we need Watt..nope,,,would he be a bad signing? Absolutely not. SPuDS and TBURGESS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think richards needs a big push this year any way. Well Richards has barely been able to play and is again returning from significant surgeries. We probably need to have 2 NI receivers on the roster to fulfill the one starting spot, otherwise you're looking at making a ratio change on the OL or playing Normand every down if there's an in-game injury. We only have 3 to choose from as of today, plus 2017 picks (pick really as BTP is not really a receiver prospect). Also a bit of a reach to think that whoever makes the team lasts all 18 games, chances are we'll end up dressing 3-4 by the end of the year. IMO they need to add someone for training camp and if they don't will more than likely need to add someone during the season. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the question mark at MLB might be a little more contentious, but yes, it is awesome that we are no longer worried about if we have enough starters, rather that we are going to have to make some decisions about backups who may be too good to be backups...

His salary, yes, that makes sense, but not necessarily his salary demands. He was signed two years ago, coming off a big year in Toronto. It makes sense his contract was big. Then he got hurt and had low production last year. If I were the Ti-Cats, I wouldn't be excited to pay him what he was worth two years ago when he signed as a FA.

But if you can get him on a "last chance in football" contract it's probably worth the "chance". You have the incumbent, the high draft pick, the safe depth guy. Why not go for the home run? At worst you cut him in training camp. At best he's better than JFG. Besides, who else is out there? bearpants and JCon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
