Noeller Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hmmm I must have missed that quote. Last I'd seen was that they didn't know yet hoe much they'd have for the QB position at the time of Glenn's release because they didn't know how much Nichols would cost....

Tracker Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I wouldn't be surprised to see Glenn back here, or maybe in Hamilton. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably only looking to keep 1 of Denmark, Gurley and McDuffie (My choice to keep). The rest should be offered 'Right Priced' contracts. I'd have to agree with you on all fronts... but I hope they bring in an experienced Canadian O-lineman... and I'd be ok if that was Keeping...

They offered him a contract that fit with what they could afford to pay for a back up QB, but he asked to be released to see if other teams were slotting for more in that spot. It could still happen that Glenn doesn't find more money on the open market and we resign him. I have a suspicion that money was only part of reason both sides put a pin in it for now. Rather the Bombers didn't want to make any claims they might not keep regarding Glenn's spot on the depth chart. Everyone is assuming Glenn would be the back up but there have been signs for a while that this team is looking for Davis to take a step forward. Even last year Glenn sat in the #3 spot long after the "learning the playbook" justification had any merit left. Davis was the first QB that got signed this offseason. I'm not going to read anything more into that than the obvious - there is no doubt that the Bombers want Davis here. So maybe the conversation went like this: The Bombers told Glenn they want him but he might be 3rd on the depth chart and he might have to take a very incentive laden contract as a result; Glenn said cool beans Kyle but I'm 745 years old and this could be my last contract and I don't wanna go out like that, you get me homeslice?; Walters says yo Kevs, there is only love in my heart for you, no disrespect at all, just always wanna be keepin it 100 with you, ya dig?; and Kevin digs so they hug it out and promise to keep digits at the ready both knowing that the next time they see each other it will be from opposite sides* of the field. *Unless Glenn signs with an eastern team of course, cause those stadiums were drawn up on the back of an IHOP place mat.

WBBFanWest Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I tend to agree that by signing Davis first, they gave a pretty clear signal as to their thoughts moving forward. You don't sign a Kevin Glenn to be your 3rd stringer. You sign someone you want to develop for that slot. It looks like Davis will be the #2 moving forward. Personally, I'm not too concerned moving forward because we know what Glenn brings to the table and given his age, I'm not convinced that we'd be any better with him at the helm over Davis should Nichols go down, and yes, I realize that we haven't seen much of Davis.

Mike Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Somewhat underwhelmed but on the bright side, if we were going to recycle DBs from two teams right now, BC and Winnipeg are at the top of the list (with Calgary, as well) for recruiting those spots. Lankford, however ... why bother is my immediate opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 So just to be clear... Denmark gets 8 TDs and 700 yards in 11 games... But we sign Stafford because of his 'chemistry' with Nichols (700 yards and 9 TDS in 18 games) and then a hack like Lankford... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also read a thread on that site that said Durant is crap, Nichols is crap, Andrew Harris is crap, Medlock is crap , Leggett is crap etc.... I would be zero stock on any reports from riderfans threads. Lankford is most likely TCF and if he sticks then good for us.

Dr. Blue Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Meh on Lankford. Let's see what he's got in mini camp. If he still sucks, cut him. Don't forget, according to riderfans, everybody who is not a rider sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course im still hoping denmark is back for tc. 2 hours ago, Noeller said: Denmark = 31 Stafford = 26 age, cost etc. Though i think stafford more pushes out gurley, not denmark.

Let's not forget, the scouts have all kinds of input on players already in the league. Langford would fall into this category. They believe he's worth a look-see. A look-see doesn't cost much and some of the learning curve has already been dealt worth. And that's just fine with me. blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Stafford is not much more than TCF too. He's gotta earn a spot. He didn't get a deal that precludes being cut fairly easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
