Okay, so the off season officially begins now that the Grey Cup is over. Lots of topics for discussion in the months to come with the Bombers & the League. A new CBA needs to be negotiated sooner rather than later.  Will there be an eventual agreement or a lockout? How much will the salary cap go up? Randy Ambrosie is on record that wants the cap to significantly go up so that is a positive.  Will Bo Levi Mitchell sign with an NFL or perhaps another CFL team? What about Mike Reilly & Trevor Harris who are also free agents? There's a new start up league called the  AAFL & there are legit concerns that it'll draw star CFL players away or hamper free agent signings with CFL teams. Coaching changes in BC & Toronto. The continuing evolving story of the expansion Halifax Schooners & possible exhibition games in Mexico.

"It seems as though Trevor Harris is going to test the market to figure out what his true value out in the open. As we go along here w/ #Redblacks putting priority into signing Dom Davis, there's more chance that Harris is gone from Ottawa now." - @JDunk12 #CFL via @620ckrm

Hope Harris stays East.

I’ll very much enjoy seeing Ottawa wallow in less than mediocrity with Dom Davis.

When did Dom Davis become even close to a replacement for Trevor Harris? Did I miss something? 

Edit: on mobile. Forget that I have some random empty quote I can't delete

Dom Davis must have done some serious off-season work... ha

I can see Harris going to Saskatchewan and getting paid as much maybe more then Rielly, and Mitchell.

Count me as one of the guys who thinks Harris is a top tier QB

He's not worth the same amount of money but teams are desperate so he should get a big payout.  Certainly an upgrade over what sask had last season.

Count me as someone who thinks he might be the most overrated QB in the league...

Even in the depleted state of CFL quarterbacking, he’s really not...

Certainly inconsistent but when he’s on he’s on.  I would think he’s the #3 qb in the league, ironically behind Reilly and BLM. 

Yeah yeah, Matt Nichols is #4. Masoli #5. Although I guess from 3-5 it’s interchangeable at this moment. But if I had to have one of the three, hate to say it but it would be Harris

Everyone behind BLM and Reilly is extremely flawed.

Maybe. He's a guy that will gut your defense if you leave him anything. But he doesn't throw guys open like a Ricky Ray, Reilly or BLM can

In fact, the difference between 2 and 3 is so massive, the tiers probably skip tier two and it goes from tier one to tier three. 

Elizondo is not the right OC for Harris... he’d excel with trestman or Dickenson

mcadoo would tank Harris’ career - if I’m BC I go after Harris instead of Reilly and save $100-150k

If I'm us we try to lock up a top flight receiver before the qb situation gets ironed out. I wonder how many wait to see which qb is throwing to them

All of them. 

Sask going to make a run and overpay for Harris? 

It would be tough to leave a starting job in the East to move to the uber-competitive West. The east boasts a turtle race with a much greater chance of playoff money and success.

Dont believe OTT will let Harris walk for a minute. He is average. Occaisonally above average. Stretches of disturbingly poor play. But team is far worse without him.

That one live mic game was hilarious.  Mile long snap counts, pep talks to his teammates on the sidelines - did absolutely nothing on the field.  

Prider "insiders" on FA QB negotiations....

"Look, I didn't want to say anything but we offering as much or more for Player X but he wanted to play in City X to be close to mum, girlfriend, sick grandma, fulfill dying wish of somebody etc..."

Or 

"Hey, we were offering competitive money but GM X blew his brains out and started offering insane numbers. Day should be commended for holding the line. Seriously, are the Riders the only team committed to fiscal sanity ? C'mon Ambrosie do something !"

Cheesy moustache is annoying.
