Or... he might decide that 50k is not worth it and take the lower offer because maybe he sees things differently than you do. As weird as this sounds to a lot of people, it's not always about the money. It definitly doesn't have to be about the money if you feel you have enough all ready I suppose. I remember back roughly 10 years ago I switched positions at work and it cost me over 7$ an hour on my pay........ so yeh who knows where any player will sign at any time....

17to85 Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Even if it's even money in BC and Winnipeg that money goes a hell of a lot further in Winnipeg than it does in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 You can't put a ******* gun to the guy's head. His speech REALLY sounded like "Smell Ya Later..." so I'm preparing for this to be the only season we have him. Time to start thinking about Wilson or Knox in the middle next year.

pigseye Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 This season, the Bombers proved that their o-line and defensive front 7 could go toe to toe with anyone in the league, top 3 for sure. Would be nice to try to keep as much of it as possible intact but failing that, there will be a lot of good free agents available to plug the holes. A shut down corner would be nice for those tall Williams/Mathews type of receivers (Fogg/Randle just give up too much size to those types of receivers). And more explosive players on offence, at least one freakish deep threat import and a hybrid kr/rb. Assuming Nichols can use those weapons to their fullest, we should be contending again.

SpeedFlex27 Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) Without Bighill, I just see 2017's defense all over again. Especially if Hall comes back. That is a scary thought.

bigg jay Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 The only reason I can see Bighill possibly staying one more season is that his kids are still over a year away from starting school. They can still pull off splitting their time between the two places for the time being, if they chose to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold_Palmer Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 This will be a big off season. A lot of our core will be looking for pay raises.. Like Calgary we need to know who to keep and find some replacements via recruiting. Can’t always live and die by free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, both did exactly nothing this year. Woods is too much of an injury risk, and Taylor is still living off one good year. I honestly don't think I'd pursue either this off season.

wpgallday1960 Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 If we can't sign Bighill then , Goosen, Chung, JSK have to be our top priorities. What id like to see next year is Wolitarsky moved inside and a Chris Matthews type WR on the outside. Sadly the best candidate for the outside position may be Simonise so we'd have to draft a bunch more national WRs to back them up.
