This is from Bauming, but for some reason the entire tweet didn't show up when I posted this.

Wow, I think this was supposed to be our year to win it all.

I think just about every team will have a list like this now that one year contracts are being signed.

Ah, I forgot about the 1 year deals, makes sense now.

yuppers.  this is a big reason why and a lot of teams will see some movement in FA this year with the 1 + option contracts..

 

I'd be surprised if even 10 of those names made it to free agency without being re-signed.  Definitely some big names on the list though.

I think you let Wild and Nevis go to use their $ elsewhere. Maybe Medlock too. Neufeld perhaps due to cost or he takes a paycut. Let Knox walk. Let Hurl walk.

That's an awful lot of key players. Kyle Walters has his work cut out for him. 

can someone post the list again but not in an image? for some dumb ass reason, my computer doesn't show the image. just its location.jpg

I think Wild is a guy you can get back at a lower salary just because of his injury troubles, and I think that's the best way to go about that. They haven't been so strong at recruiting linebackers that you just let a talent like Wild walk away.

The list below is who I would like back, and who I think the bombers have a legit shot at getting back. The others I think are replaceable either via draft or FA or just don't think they are good enough. Bombers won't sign them all.

Bryant

Hardrick

Neufeld

foketi

Spooner

Dressler

Feoli-gudino

Flanders

Randle

Legget

Westerman

Knox

Nevis

Fogg

Jones

Hurl is a free agent? Thank goodness. That's Walters way of escape. 

O'Shea: "Kyle, how come my star middle linebacker is not in camp?"

Walters: "We just couldn' t agree to terms!"

I think you offer Medlock and Dressler new deals, but at slightly less $. Dresser is getting hurt a lot and Medlock, while really solid, is an American playing a typical Canadian position. If Medlock walks I believe we still have that draft pick kid who showed well in camp and will be done school now.

Time to pass the torch.  Medlock was good this year but not $300K a year good or whatever we are paying him.  He cost us two games this year that might have been the difference in making it to first place in the West.

I think Medlock is still the leagues best kicker (we have him kick a lot of long ones), but maybe we could save some of that coin for - oh I don't know, maybe a stud MLB

Must haves: heath, randle, bryant, dressler, hardrick

Wants: spooner, flanders, bond 

Not going to lose sleep if they leave: JFG, Nevis, medlock, westerman, wild

Wild missed 13 games this year and 6 in 2016. I think its time to move on and use his $ elsewhere. Especially since you seem to have his replacement in JSK.

Yup. If they can get the starting O-line and  DB’s under contract along with Dress and Flanders I’ll be a happy camper.

Well this is the most depressing thing I've seen since the bomber's. Performance on Sunday

Wasn't sure if a thread for other teams' free agents was needed, but here's the Redblacks list. Some big names here too:

Receiver Brad Sinopoli

Receiver/returner Diontae Spencer 

Receiver Jake Harty

Running back William Powell 

Running back Brendan Gillanders

Linebacker Taylor Reed

Defensive back Jonathan Rose

Defensive back Jerrell Gavins

Defensive lineman Zack Evans 

Defensive lineman Arnaud Gascon-Nadon

Offensive lineman Alex Mateas 

Offensive lineman Nolan MacMillan

 

Pretty much every team in the league has a massive free agent list.  It's simply the new reality.

I'd be okay with moving on from a lot of these guys.. I'd love to see Hardick and Bryant back on offence, and the trio of Randle, Heath, and Leggett (assuming he is healthy) I'd also bring back Wild, Dressler, Medlock, and Westerman only if they decided to take paycuts because quite frankly they weren't worth their salary this season. Everyone else on this list I'm in different about. I wouldn't mind have Flanders back either but he may be looking for a starting position on another team and I wouldn't blame him for wanting the opportunity to start.. I didn't even include Bond because i assume he's NFL bound. 

I don't think Bond will be NFL bound. I think he comes back.

Fingers crossed. He'll certainly generate some interest though however. 

How is Spooner a free agent?  We just drafted him.
