Heard Matt Nichols say this week guys who don’t buy in to what they are doing don’t last long with the team.

believe it 100%. 

I'm betting on Carter going to either Toronto or Montreal, with Toronto having a clean slate with Carter. In Montreal, there are still players there who probably still have a bad taste in their mouths from the last go-round. I cannot see Wally tolerating Carter and the receivers there are pretty good anyways. Hamilton? Who really knows?

Personally, I hope he ends up with the Cleveland Browns...or McDonald's... that'd be good too.

Feel sorry for Carter.....as he obviously had no idea in the world.....why Jones would electronically send him his dismissal.

Carter is the author of his own misfortune, but this does not excuse Jones in any way. The Riders had to know who they were hiring, so I have little sympathy for management there. After the debacle that Jones has been, there is enough blame to go around for all.

I wouldn't say it's an entirely clean slate in Toronto.  Popp was the GM who cut him in Montreal for his sh**ty behaviour.  He's desperate to turn around the Argos season though so he might take the risk.

"Man with largest ego"? He could work alongside the bearded lady.

But Duron has already been kicked out of the big top......

I actually typed that post, with a straight face.
My bad.

montreal is used to being a gong show. toronto is coming off a grey cup win and still a young front office in that city, not to mention serious attendance problems. Wally, is not used to losing. nothing would surprise me at this point. You know he doesnt want to waste his last year on a dud of a team.

Lions are most dangerous at old age. They can sense the end is coming and know its time to go down swinging.

this is a great and interesting point. I think the desire to right that ship will win out, you cant afford to hold a grudge too long in the cfl its too small a world. Every thing comes back around. (see chris williams)

Cutting Carter was pure and simple: it was a salary dump... coming up on week 10 they would have had to pay him for the whole year if he played one more game ... you don't want to lose a draft pick next spring for being over the salary cap ... nor do you want to be exposed for having such a high salary low performance team in front the country's most delusional fans

That only happens in extreme cases.  You get fined up to  certain point and then draft picks can be taken away. 

They also don't count the cap until the end of the year so even if they were over now, they might not be later (which is why you see contracts getting re-done mid season).

There is no question Carter would make the Bombers an elite team. 

Said Bob Irving in 1987 when asked about the Bombers putting Chris Carter on their neg list.

Jim Jones was more sane.

I think we should all pitch in to buy Carter a ticket to the Banjo Bowl, then he can watch from the sidelines and see a real, cohesive football team work together to mop the floor with the Riders.

Replace "ticket to" with "bag of weed at" in that sentence and you may get him to show up.

Toronto back in the Pinball coaching days had a saying "Fit in or F off".  I remember Pinball saying that was the Argo philosophy.  O'Shea would know all about it, having played there at the time.

I would pay good money to see Carter get suplexed

Looks like Duron had to find out he was cut from teammates... a step up from finding out on Twitter I guess?

I dunno. I think he was only owed 40 k the rest of the season. The reason is much simpler.. Hes a cancerous piece of ****.

And Jimmy served more memorable refreshments.

So according to the management bootlickers on Riderfans Carter was an "experiment" and since they got some good play out of him it's, oh well, no biggie.

One has to be careful when using the word lie/liar so I'll go with "bollocks".

When Carter was signed he was never, ever sold or advertised as an "experiment". Ever.

Shameless ass covering for Jones over there.

On his facebook page Rod Pederson is rallying the Rider masses to Jones defense harshly criticizing anyone who chastises Jones in Riderville by telling fans to get off Jones back. One Rider fan who can see through the phony smokescreen answered back saying to Pederson that  he is a paid employee of the Riders so what right does he have to criticize any Rider fans who don't like Jones?  His comment were deleted moments later.  Pederson also criticized Carter as a troublemaker who Jones got tired of babysitting. Fans that adored Carter just 24 hours ago are now calling him a cancer. Nice fanbase, wow. Pederson is such a syncophant & even worse he's a backstabber. You know he'll say bad things about Jones the minute he is fired or leaves the Riders but he kisses his ass while he's still Riders GM & HC .
