KBF reporting live from BC Place echo chamber. Checked out the Outrageous burger and determined that $35 is too outrageous.

Lol Lankford just pulled down right in front of me on the punt return.

He won't touch that mess with a 10 foot pole. 

 

But christ all is well for the Riders after beating teams with a combined 1-12 record.. which is likely 0-13 if they hadn't played each other.

Rumour is he will take over Montreal once sale is done.

I think he'll stay retired. Even he wouldn't want to touch The Architect's work.

Can't believe they had Elimimian under contract and cut him - basically to make room for Chungh's $$

B.C. Lions = pathetic.....Poorly run and they still don't get it that they need an O Line....Chungh must be asking himself...'what the hell did I do'

Checking on his off-season bonus to see the exact date he'll be cut...

Mattys account went up pretty good after the last game as well.... 🤣

As he did after the previous 5 games..so what's the point here?

Matt didnt leave us..or come here for way over priced contract and proceeded to suck on a really bad team with zero depth

Reneg all those high end contracts. Since you are starting 9 / 10 Canadians - find some Americans for your OL who can actually play. No idea where you’d start with that D - pull a position out of a hat. 

No CFL contract is guaranteed so if the Lions want salary cap relief & to start from scratch next season that might be what I'd do. A total rebuild. They're stuck this season but I can see a lot of overpriced veterans getting their walking papers in the off season.

You just never stop. Even a 3 day hospital stay & convalescing at home with the pain of a knee replacement is far, far better than having to read your continuos one take posts on Nichols. You don't seem to know how to talk about anything else. Glad I had a one week break.

Everybody rags on BC's OL....but man, their front 7 on D, is also a joke.

Exactly, Holy crap their tackling is bad.

The big question is what do the Lions do with Reilly? Does it make financial sense paying him $750,000 a season & still lose? Plus he'll be 34 soon. He's 3 or 4 years past any upside. Do you jettison a bunch of underperforming vets with big contracts & keep him? Or should he be the first to go & try to recruit someone younger & cheaper? That'll be one of the many dilemmas the Lions will have to sort out.

 

***Just an aside but I believe Nick Arbuckle may be a free agent next season.

Arbuckle is a free agent? Does that mean the Riders are going to sign Arbuckle and Streveler and use them in tandem?

The Lions might consider trading him to Hamilton for a massive return

Reilly would have to be willing to take a huge pay cut which I doubt. As it stands now, there's no way he falls into any other team's salary cap system. He's probably priced himself out of the market. The Lions may have to cut him.

I guess it would depend what is going back. Masoli is off the books now. 

It definitely would take some maneuvering

Even with Masoli off the books, they probably need to consider if they can afford it. Salary cap aside - probably not a lot of spare cash for any team other than the Riders. 

I can't see the Lions cutting Reilly. I'm sure he got a big portion of his salary as bonus money up front so there's little SMS gain for BC.

I can't see any other team trading for Reilly. They'd get good value this year, but they'd have to renegotiate in the off season or pay the huge salary.

I’m sure a huge chunk was paid as a signing bonus

but no Hervey would be nuts to trade Reilly ... this year any way

Considering all the other weird moves that Hervey has made so far, is that so much of a stretch to imagine?

I think Reilly will be cut and end up with the Argos during the off - season. Walker is already there.

This makes sense to me as well.
