Around the League: 2019 Off Season

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.

    My mom went into the bomber store years ago to buy me a jersey and Moreno was in there.  She met him and said he was a good looking fella so she bought me his jersey.  So pretty much I got his jersey

  • I hate that ******* ginger with a fiery passion for all he did to us over the years..............but............I respect the hell out of him as a CFL QB.

Yup.  Micah Johnson 

 

👁‍🗨 You must be on the wrong floor Micah, Cory Johnson and Toby Antigha just left. And that’s after Jefferson.

I have a feeling that Micah, much like Dennis Dennis did, is going to regret leaving Calgary for Saskatchewan.

He says now....we shall see what level it is at around Aug...especially when he has no depth around him and is not getting the stats

I mean, no one is expecting he's going to immediately start bashing the team that just signed him... he just got a fat new paycheque... of course he's currently happy...

Well, Johnson won't have anyone competing with him for "most outstanding defensive player" in Regina.

Yeah for all those signings you can conceivably say they actually regressed

I expect Ellingson will be a thousand yard receiver again. But to get one they lost two. Wonder what the Ottawa fans think of Harris claiming he stole Ellingson?

You mean other than the guy who had the most sacks in the league?

Dominique Rhymes re-signed with Ottawa

Make all the jokes you want. Our front four is as good as anyone's and better than most.  TBH, having a hard time thinking of anyone who has a better one

Hamilton

Which 4 players are you referring too on their line, because I am obviously missing something

53 minutes ago, Jpan85 said:

Ted Laurent Nikita Whitlock JaGared Davis Adrain Tracy Jamal Westerman.

Just so 4 players are compared against 4, I dropped Whitlock as his numbers are the worst. 128 tackles and 20 sacks for Hamilton. 127 tackles and 36 sacks for Riders

With about 25 more games played by the Sask bunch.

On DL It’s more about depth and rotation than it is about having stars as your starters.

Johnson and Hughes are obviously very good. I think Evans is overrated. He reminds me of Shologan. Looked good in Ottawa, but just ok when he left. AC Leonard's pretty meh. He got an East all-star, but I think I would've taken any de in the West over him.

Player A: 15 tackles, 1 sack, 1 FF

Player B: 17 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 FF

Just for fun, name the 2 players.

CFL, Canadian football league.  Evans is a canuck and you need your starters. He is good in the role he is in.

Just for fun name the team that ran a 3 man front most of the time?
