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

This is the controversial statement:

 

To me, this doesnt jyve with the league forcing the als to cut manziel. 

The league forcing this makes a lot of sense to me, its hard to see the als cutting him now on their own.

Either way, im glad he is gone and not coming back.

Keep in mind, this was the same agent who gave the Ticats a dead line for offering him a contract. I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to spin it that Johnny cancelled the contract....saying that. The source seems to be less then legit.

My thought is, Johnny smoked some weed or drank or quit a mandatory course etc etc etc....to purposely void his agreement, knowing the league would force MTL to do this.

I don't think it's a coincidence that he was just talking about how interesting the AAF is, now he's no longer under contract....seems fishy.

I guess this opens up a spot in Montreal for Kaepernick  😎

He just got a HUGE settlement. He's not playing football any longer.

I adore the word levity. Thank you for reminding us of how important it is in this day in age. :)

On that note: At a funeral, a man approached the widow and asked, "May I say a word?". The widow nodded assent. The man walked to the front of the church and said "Plenitude" and then took his seat again.

The widow smiled at the man and said, "Thanks. That means a lot".

    Give them their picks back if the league 'forced' this...

    Glad he's gone

    no way. the league was completely up front about how Manziel's participation had a bunch of contingencies. Reed knew the risks when he pulled the trigger on the worst deal in modern CFL history.

    That deal is now Reed trading two first rounders and a canuck starter for an import tackle.  It's staggering how bad that turned out, and everyone saw it coming but Reed or whoever ordered him to do the deal.

    I said it once. say it again. Reed should be fired.
