Would be nice to see Alexander, JSK and Nevis signed at least before tomorrow...

Guess its only Walker and Posey left for big REC signings?

Well if price got that high..glad we bowed out..so not worth it

 

Good good... I want no part of that, especially for a guy with injury questions. Word was, earlier in the week, that they were waiting for this domino to fall so they could pull the trigger on other stuff.. 

Hard to believe our biggest weakness last year won't be addressed...

I would've loved Walker, but I'd still be thrilled with Matthews. 

I'm not really interested in Manny/Rosey, those guys to me are Bowman like signings.

Pretty sure now that he is off board u will see us announce a Roosevalt..a Rhymes or possibly Mathews..and I will be fine with that to he honest

Walker would've been a nice addition... but realistically for 280K you can probably get 2 good receivers... I guess he figured the playoff money would be easier... 5 wins gets you second place in the east and it'll probably take 12 in the west...

Sask wants Roosevelt back but i honestly think he's the kind of guy who may want to switch teams to try and re-ignite his career.

I still think playoffs easier in the West for the bombers than playoffs in the east for Toronto..  Hamilton and Ottawa are locks and after that it will be a crossover again.

I'm curious, why do you think Ottawa is a lock? At this point, IMO, it's a coin-flip with Toronto.

Is Mathews still as good as he was? I could be wrong but he really didn't stand out a whole 5on after he came back from the nfl. I'd still take Roosevelt first and then Mathews.

Didn't stand out? He was one of CGY best rec down the stretch.

Ottawa is a very well run organization and with good coaching.  Jennings isn't that bad.  I just see Toronto as a gong show at this point. Ottawa has a history now of replacing the previous QB and continuing to win.  They still have a lot of talent.  Good receivers and a good offensive line.  If Toronto couldn't get it done with Trestman as their coach how is hiring Chamblin going to improve their offense?

Sorry,I didn't pay a whole ton of attention to Calgary,I stand corrected. But wasnt a whole pile of calgary's starting receivers hurt during mid-late season thus making him their best receiver?

Yep.  Coming in without having training camp and being thrown right in there i think he did just fine.  We could use him.

As bad as Jennings was in BC, he at least had some receivers. In Ottawa, he will be even worse. Beyond Sinopili, they have the worst receivers in the league.

They will be fine with Holley, RJ Harris, and Sinopoli.  They are the type of organization that can find replacements.  The problem in BC was that they had a horrible offensive line and lacked top tier offensive coaching.  

Yeah..he hadnt played in over a year..and was thrust right in and made some nice grabs...full camp..he will be fine and still only 29 with low mileage

Him..rosie..darvin and our canadians..be a good unit

I see what You're saying...but Ottawa went from a HOF QB to a guy who proved he could play in the CFL, with one of the best recieving groups the CFL has ever seen, and an Oline that had one of the Best LT helping to protect. They no longer have any of that. I think it will be a race to the bottom for every east team outside of Hamilton.

Well Ottawa also lost their best offensive lineman. They are very bad.

That's not true. They are they type of organization that signs big FA. That's how they have found basically all the talent you talked about.

Harris. Big FA signing. 

Burris. Big FA signing. 

Jennings. Big deal...

Yeah and who's to say they aren't doing it again with Jennings like they did with Harris?  I just have more faith in that organization than the argos or Als at this point.  There's still a lot of talent available and I think some teams will have to release quality players to fit all the players they signed under the cap.  For example if they brought back Chris Williams and signed The Manny show it wouldn't be a bad looking receiving core.
