If there is anything that deserves a thread of its own its this Tuesdays looming bidding wars.

Lets start with 3Down Nation's top 5 negotiations for our Blue:

http://3downnation.com/2017/02/12/top-five-free-agent-targets-bombers/

1. DL Jabar Westerman, B.C. Lions

2. LB Winston Venable, Montreal Alouettes

3. RB Kienan Lafrance, Ottawa Redblacks

4. DL Drake Nevis, Hamilton Tiger-Cats

5. DB Jovon Johnson, Montreal Alouettes

I like the idea of what a 2nd Westerman would do for our D_line for years to come. Getting Venerable could mean a road to the Grey Cup so I would break the bank with whatever we have left and spend it on those two.

is this fitting into the actual salary cap or under the jones roster rules?

I assume that means highest paid international O-lineman??

Left Tackles make big money regardless of passport.  I don't think any word was missed.

Yeah I thought about that after... LT might be the 2nd most important position after QB... Bryant is probably the highest paid O-lineman on our team...

Yes almost certainly although extending Chungh likely wasn't cheap.

whatever our current oline wants, I say give it to them lol  Keeping Nichols upright and time to set up shop is worth every penny... or nickel i guess

Under "things I like to hear category"....

 

 

Ottawa LOVES receivers. I don't get it though. They have Juron Criner who could really use an elevated role in this offense and they still go out and get Shaw/Spencer to replace Williams/Jackson?

So weird.

Second most important player after the Nichols is the Medlock.

Not a spec of news about Jackson???

There was some talk that the Argos were after him but he would help almost any team, great player.

Ha, it just shows how important it was for Saskatchewan to get another "DD" on the roster.

Our LB situation has me guessing?

 

Really thought Hurl would be a guy the Stamps would bring in to have a back up for Singleton

Meh.  If he's signed for backup/special teams dollars, we could do worse.

He's a good player for depth. Problem I had was he was paid like a starter.  I don't think he will be now

Doesn't surprise me, Hurl is a good backup MLB and good on ST's.

way to put a pin in the hope balloon.  damn it jamal,  call up your bro and talk some sense into him! 

Does hurl even play ST? if I was required to see so little action, I'd play for the bombers for $12.50 a season
