rebusrankin Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 So even if one throws in CoFaj's $24,000 discount, that's an extra what 200k + on the WR position? How does this make you better? OL is pretty similar, National talent is meh, linebackers still meh, still going Full Cody Fajardo and you never go Full Cody Fajardo. Acklin is a nice add by Ottawa.

Booch Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Well...I see this as for sure driving Lawler money up...but we stand strong...say 185 hard..with incentive for more if he leads league again ..and possible playoff cash...no need to follow the idiots...I sure we can use 250k and maybe a bit more sign 2 of say a Walker..RJ Harris..Amnbles...Adams...Rogers...Huff...and be just fine TBURGESS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lawler is a better receiver and all around team guy then Duke. But no where near $260. Have CFL teams lost their minds?? No wonder this league loses $20 million or more each year. There are no actual business practices going on anymore.

His agent will say that the situation in Edmonton was the reason for his bad season. He'll probably get it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The riders will find out this year that the recieving crew isn't the problem, its their qb and online.

Stickem Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 260 big ones......for that eye gouger.....giant LOL....I think this lets the riders out of the bidding for a few players....hello Stove.....Their o line still needs a lot of work and they go wild on the spitter.....Williams says he smells a Cup win with this club.....Good luck Duke ....that ain't happening in saskabush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, and I do see Lawler as one of the top 3 guys in the league, If he's anywhere near that number I'm letting him walk. See whats left over in free agency for scraps or comes at a team friendly price and get Danny Mac and Co out there finding talent. It seems every year there's a couple new break through guys. Not to mention if the bombers can find a guy who exits for the nfl and doesn't stick half way through the season they have that route to go. I think its mental paying 200 for a receiver. 175 is where I would draw the line Edited February 5, 2022 by CodyT rebusrankin and WildPath 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milt in my opinion would've been the only receiver that could be paid 260k without batting an eye,Duke at that price is laughable. I'm very confident in Ted and Danny to find us the next guy or one that just goes with our offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walters & McManus were accused on this board by members saying he couldn't find a deep threat receiver. We kept signing over the hill washed out receivers who never worked out.

Well Milt shouldn't factor in as hes pretty much undisputed as the best pass catcher in cfl history. They wouldn't have paid milt that kind of money in his 3rd year in the league, I don't think.

Pending what happens with Lawler,say he takes off,would there be any interest in derel walker at a very discounted price? If we can catch even glimpses of his skill before he signed that mega contract then he may be worth a look? CodyT and Bigblue204 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can catch even glimpses of his skill before he signed that mega contract then he may be worth a look? I caught flak earlier this week for rating walker still a top 5 receiver in this league. One bad year on a putrid offense doesn't mean he's had a major drop off. Id put in a sizeable offer to him (160-175 or so) SpeedFlex27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a tire in Edmonton last year so how much was his fault? He'll demand $200K to be signed. Will he get it? I'd say probably.

In any category....thats why you caught flak. and can anyone remember what he did in TO? Honest Question...was it over 1000yrd? saying that, I wouldn't be against signing him on a discount.
