Congratulations Willie on your new fortune!

 

We'll reinvest elsewhere. With those savings and all the money we saved from Nichols ;), we're loaded this week.

Does Willie go to a dogshit team for extra cash?? Id be surprised unless we low ball him. Cant see us doing that with all that extra Nichols dough lying around.

I like Willie but I'm not sold that he's the 'be all end all'...

Jeffcoat and McAllister are starting material

I'm curious what people think is the "top end" they'd give WJ5.......I'm honestly not sure. We've heard that 250 was what they were preparing to offer him. Now there's talk that 300k might not be out of the question. Do you go as high as 275 and say "no mas" after that? 

hearing and reality are 2 different things...and we don't know what our budget is either....so really until pen needs to meet paper it's really a non-issue and speculative at best

That being said getting Ja'Gared Davis most likely for less and his 54 tackles..13 sacks and 3 FF's is a nice secondary prize

250K would be the max i'd be comfortable with. Cant see anyone paying him 300K. If he wants to bolt to a shitty team for an extra 30K-40K so be it.

he spurned a shitty team for less to sign with us last year, so not like it's out of the question

why is there a mentality that there's extra money lying around because Nichols is gone.  Collaros just got relatively the same type of money that Nichols did last season.  It's a wash, and we're in a very similar spot to last season cap space wise.

I was just editing my post realizing who said that and that it was sarcasm.... you're too quick!  haha

Would be surprised if Willie fled for a few extra bucks to go to the Argos.  Don't see them making the playoffs next year, and you'd think he'd want to be a part of the quest for a repeat!

and we were in good shape cap wise last year...as the extensions and re-ups prior to Jan showed, and we will be in better shape as we are only going to be paying 2 qb's basically, and have shed Couture's salary..was his second contract and was prob pushing 100k..if not at it and will be paying less or equal value for whover we replace Sayles and Rose with..unless we go really big after say an Ackie, or one of the higher priced imports that are available

and the extra 25k in playoff money available if u win the grey cup...be more this year as that was the amount of the last Bargaining agreement which ran from 2014-2019

even if you get to cup and lose you will pocket 17k

Noooooo.

**** off, Toronto. 

Willie's got his cup. Maybe he'll go where the money is this year. I saw Walters talking about the new offer before the deadline system and he brought up Willie as an example. Sounded like he already knew that Jefferson would get other 'bigger' offers. 

Are people honestly surprised the reigning MODP is getting offers?

I would be fine if the bombers went as high as 250k.  More than that and id look at bringing in competition to push Alex McCallister and spend the money on a different position like WR1.

Forget not Willie took less money to come to Winnipeg then staying in Regina.      Even if Toronto throws a higher number...  I won't assume that he automatically will take it.   Maybe the Blue offer a longer deal with more guaranteed money.    

I'm not assuming he's gone just yet. 

Sask lowballed him...Montreal I believe offered more

Yeah and then ended up spending more on Micah.  Only thing that worked out about that move is it weakened Calgary so we could run all over them in the playoffs!

They are but willy at any point can be a game changer.

We have a ton of cap to spend, I’d be prepared to be the top offer for Willie if I’m Walters.

we have to spend our cash somewhere, it may as well be on him. No top $$$ QB, no big money receiver, no first round pick to pay this year, no big money in our secondary. We have a lot of cash to throw around.
