Dirty30 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) I like it! I have even more respect for Walters. Many more Canadian players are more impactful. I wholeheartedly agree that Harris deserves to be paid more. I believe Loffler and Chungh, Stanley Bryant are worth the same if not more. Singleton deserves to be the highest paid LB(National or International)...maybe even the highest paid defensive player in my opinion. Even if the Bombers had the money/cap space, I’d still consider it to be a slap in the face to as many as several other Canadian players than the ones I already listed if Muamba becomes the highest paid Canadian player. He lacks commitment and loyalty. I wouldn’t want to play with him on my team. I get wanting the most you can get, however let’s be realistic .

17to85 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Walters has always been pretty good about not getting involved in the dog and pony show of just giving guys money for the sake of getting them signed. He's a methodical and thoughtful guy. Doesn't make impulsive decisions and I like that about him.

DR. CFL Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Moving on from Henoc is all well and good. I respect that. Finding a viable solution to the MLB situation remains the task that needs to be dealt with. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what makes this really interesting for me. What exactly is Muamba's leverage with Montreal now? Is he really going to hold out into training camp trying to squeeze a few more dollars out of the Als, when everyone knows he doesn't have any other options?

I'm actually thinking Micah Awe is of interest. Rigmadien is the one being mentioned who made the deal with Awe that enable him to bolt in the NFL.

WINNIPEG, MB., March 19, 2018 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed International defensive back/linebacker Cody Prewitt and international defensive back Kevin Short. Prewitt (6’2, 208, Mississippi, December 31, 1992 in Covington, LA) played four seasons with the Ole Miss Rebels recording 247 total tackles and 12 interceptions in his collegiate career. In 2013, he led the SEC with six interceptions and was named a first team All-American. he was indeed on the PR disclosure list, and listed as a db on it. https://www.cfl.ca/2018/02/20/cfl-reveals-list-10-negotiation-list-players-team/ I think play style wise he would be best at wil. But who knows. Look forward to seeing what he brings to camp. On walters, I think he has done the right thing. If they though they would get the answer in 48 hours and didnt hear back, he should have said this after a week. I hope montreal does lower their offer now. Any IMP we start at wil (with jsk at mlb) will be a gigantic upgrade over hurl. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Bighill would be a great acquisition. That's rolling the dice at this point, though. And I don't like the odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the only one available is priced out of the market we are in sadly. If we dont have the money for henoc. bighill will probably be out of reach as well.

Kyle, very politely and very professionally, just effectively told Hardaway that he doesn't appreciate the way Hardaway is playing the game. He virtually told all the other teams what he was willing to pay, and that it was in fact a big, generous offer, but that the Bombers are not going to get into a bidding war. He left the door open just enough that Muamba can come back in if he wants to, but there are no further negotiations to be had. Well Done Mr. Walters!

If Duane Slay taught me one thing though, it is that what he had done to this point means nothing until he actually shows it on the field. Every year we have a couple "can't miss" prospects that are among the first cuts in camp. yep, we'll see if he can hang with the big dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auzzstriker Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 would have been nice to have someone who can play the MLB postion outright like mum but i'd only be a buyer at 170k, however as they say...next man up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 2 bad about Henoc but... He can take his ego and shove it. Highest paid CDN on the team like hes done anything to deserve it.. Hes not even the best CDN lb in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no evidence Muamba made that demand, Walters chose to insert it into his presser as a reference and as a justification for negotiation breakdown.

Booch Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Well walters said he wanted to be paid more than Andrew Harris...so not sure where you would think that wasn't true to what Muamba wanted..Pretty sure Walters wouldn't stand up at a presser and flat out lie Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty30 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Harris flat out deserves to be paid what he is getting paid because of what he’s shown in the past. Henoc is not even close to being the player Harris is. I would sooner use that money for an American and a bonus for Loffler to keep him long term. I know there are a lot of people on this board who despise Awe, but I for one wouldn’t mind having him here if he were to return to the CFL.
