For some teams, the CFL Offseason is here. Rather than lose all the coaching movement discussions to the Regular season thread, I thought we could start putting it here.

Those teams currently lost in the wilderness:

Ottawa

Toronto

BC

Montreal

Calgary

Edmonton

Saskatchewan

Hamilton

The champs are here.. the champs are here... Winnipeg*

 

*Grey Cup Champions

Bryant as LT...

Just receivers and RBs left

Andrew Harris has to be the RB

Walker, Dressler, Arceneaux, SJ Green, Banks

BLM - QB

Is there only going to be one RB and QB chosen?

Harris with Cornish and messam

Is he really that bad though?  

Yup.

Clarke is no where even close to Neufeld in talent..and how he earned an all star nod is baffling..and not saying that cause he is a Rider..guy is bad..slow..prob most unathletic lineman in league..for fun watch him solely in games..god awful but super glad he re-upped there..doesnt do anything to make that line dominant by any stretch

No no no, clearly you are wrong. Riders had arguably the best OL in the league and allstars are never wrong...

Lol @ anyone saying Dan Clark is anything but awful. That guy should not be starting anywhere. He's not fit to carry Paddy Neufeld's jock... 

Ah yes Clark sucks, Labatte has been washed up for four years, Bladek is overrated, Fajardo is a backup, Judge is a hack, their DBs are jerks, WillieJ is a showboater - oh wait forget that last one...

3DN says BLM ahs restructured his contract to give the Stamps more cap room. Must've been some kinda tight to ask him to make this move.

I can see BC going this route too

Clark does suck. Labatte is not what he once was, Bladek is not impressive. Fajardo was better than I thought and is a legit starting QB, Gainey and Marshall are jerks, Judge is ok, Evans is a good receiver, their fanbase still has a ton of jerks.

At least that's what they're saying, I don't believe BLM  willingly accepts a salary reduction to help out the team at the height of his game.  Huf has just returned to diverting money and back-channelling payments as before, he knows he can't stay on top without a monetary advantage.

 

 

$50,000 payment immediately for a $95,000 reduction in 2020, so net $45,000 down for BLM but $145,000 in cap space for the Stamps since they tack that $50,000 onto 2019 and reduce BLM by $95,000 in 2020.

Probably got an upfront bonus of some sort to lubricate the drop.

If any thing I would think Arbuckle wants a chance to start and be the no1. Which a few teams could give him.

Stay classy Floyd....lol

Huff had all the power here.  BLM knows he didn't play up to his contract last season and he knows his contract is handcuffing the team.  It could have been worse for BLM as a trade was certainly possible and was being discussed.  I doubt they'll trade him know eventhough this restructured contract would make it even easier to trade him but I'm sure Huff gave BLM some assurance that that wouldn't happen.  

Not sure this makes it any easier to re sign Arbuckle but Huff's going to do everything possible to do so.

Id be incredibly surprised if Arbuckle has any interest in re-signing to be Bo's backup qb. I imagine that the idea of re-signing Arbuckle for cheaper and moving Bo was what got Bo to take a lower salary. I think Arbuckle is going to follow Dinwiddie to Toronto.

This can not be correct; I understand that the Vikings wanted to keep Bo, but didn't want a quarterback controversy you know, fans wanting Bo over Kirk Cousins.  🙄  / 😂 /

Someone is going to offer Huff the moon for BLM. Either TO or Ott will massively overpay... 

I almost think it was restructured to yes..take handcuffs of the team..but also to make him more traceable.. they get right offer..I can see him traded

Huffing is no fool and if he sees that they can accomplish same thing with Arbuckle..and for 150..200k less he wont hesitate to move him

Hufnagel has shown himself to be a very shrewd GM, and he would trade at least one of his kids if he thought it would benefit the Stamps.
