7 games played,263 yards receiving and 0 touchdowns. I'd take him at a cheaper rate,maybe pay a tiny bit extra because of his passport but I can't say I'd be overly interested.

Lemar Durant was getting 200k per year? No wonder BC sucks. Horrendous cap management.

No kidding. The guy has broken 800 yards once in 5 years and you gave him $200K? To quote our friend at riderfans, that is asinine!

As asinine as what they payed Zack Evans . Then tried justifying it saying he was best Canadian interior d lineman in the cfl

As if anybody in Saskatchewan knows the word asinine. I mean its a perfectly cromulent word but unknown there.

Perhaps he was stating that he thought his cousins "ass is a nine" on the hotness scale and it got abbreviated from there, ala the telephone game??

yup....a true brotherhood...oops no that the Bombers...I mean a true Mefirst culture...and BA is way more versatile, and better...he excells at any position...Purifoy...is just adequate....and obviously isn't team first...who tweets that??!/

Letting the Rider fans know he's unhappy & he'll become a free agent Feb 8th.

He was my son's teammate as well as his Go To guy at SFU but he hasn't played one season in the CFL where he didn't miss significant time with injuries. He should be coming in at $110-115 thousand & show the Lions he's worth more. That he can play a full 18 game sched & put up a thousand yards. That contract is ridiculous. 

If Durant is worth $200,000 because of his nationality then what is Kian Schaefer-Baker worth? Younger, healthier, way more upside... Riders have a problem.

'Ass in nine' is certainly incomprehensible in Saskabush....not only the meaning of the word but it also has a number in it....totally befuddles them

Clearly not a lot to spend on their OL...

Riders reup Mike Edem. I would not keep going back with that secondary but that's me.

Oh but didn't you know? He is an allstar level NI, he makes their secondary so much better. 

 

The **** they believe.

Pay him half that. He went from the Go To deep ball receiver at SFU to just a possession receiver running short & intermediate routes for the Stamps & Lions. Injury prone. No way he was ever worth that kind of money.

They also believe we're ignoring the salary cap with our signings. On Facebook CFL Fans Only. 

People need to slow down and realize...we had all these players signed last year...as did all the teams...and many spent closer to floor than ceiling...so saying team X is over the cap..or close right now at this juncture of the off-season is ludicrous..and just plain dumb....period!

As for us...a couple guys got a nice boost...but others probably a small minimal one...as all our resigns really to date are 3rd..4th contracts now...not rookie entry deals.

And we got 2 guys...star impact guys (biggie and Jeffcoat) at friggin bargain...they prob both could have got 30k or more on open market...so that in itself is huge in re-upping say a Stove...BA and Rose....Darby too...I'm sure also we will get Maston on a team friendly deal too...

No team has remotely enough players under contract to be worrying about the cap. 

That said I don't trust a few teams management as far as I could throw them. 

Yeah...true...some are sketchy that's for sure

I think Duke Williams goes to Calgary

I'd also throw out either Montreal or Hamilton if they don't resign Jake or let Banks walk. He can go wherever and I could care less, from what I've watched,he's got talent but he's nowhere near as talented as Whitehead or Burnham so they can feel free to go into a bidding war over Duke.

Meanwhile on twitter, Lucious Pureifoy is sure getting the fans in Sasky all riled up by saying the Riders don't want to pay him.

The end result will be the same as it was for Charleston Hughes for Purifoy..... His days in the CFL are numbered!!!!

Wonder where Spitter Williams ends up? I feel like he spurns the Riders for Toronto or Edmonton.
