I think Wilson....and also a reason why we never really went out and traded, or grabbed an NFL reject to fill his spot, and just been filling it with what we have in-house

Of all the players hurt, he was the toughest to replace. Highly under rated player. I hope he back for playoffs.

Nice thing about Darby is he should be healthy AF. It all worked out great for him. He took top dollar in free-agency and now he's back with a team that will get him top playoff dollars.

yeah...I think he moonshot that so bad that Jones didn't lose it in lights...he just didn't think  it was coming, and didn't think to look straight up in the air

In fairness he did not become their punt returner until later in the game.

Turns out Wilcotts was expendable due to bringing In Kion Adam's last week. Is Lawrence coming too or is that not confirmed and just rumor? Desmond not Simoni

I believe that’s confirmed. 
 

and I love it. Two dbs with good league experience and lots of gas in the tank. 
 

I do like adams a lot but I’d really like to see us get another good pass rusher unless we are going to roster a guy and actually use them. 
 

wonder if we will see another trade or if we are done.

Confirmed. Saw it on 3rd down nation. Lawrence is signed 

The latest 2 additions.....revving up the engine for the post season....Gotta like it

Zach and Demski named performers of the month for September. Hmmm...there is something about 3 of the 4 games in that month, but I can't put my finger on it...

I think we need one more piece- a monster defensive tackle for some extra push up the middle. 

Anyone good on the LOL'ks or the ALLCAPS?

Ceresna but im sure he's off limits.

Yea....Ceresna would be highly unlikely....I would say impossible but one side of the equation is Chris Jones after all.

Looks like he's a free agent at the end of the year so I don't think he's untouchable at all. 

The latest insider talk article on 3Dnation speculated that Lawler's latest injury killed any trade deadline buzz so if he was going to be up for grabs, then Ceresna has to be too I would think?

Mauldin tho not a DT would be a huge add ...him and the jeffs and a rotation of Sayles..walker...lawson and Thomas up the gut would be killer

I wouldn't mind if they grabbed Pelley...I don't think he'd be available, but he's a big body that can collapse the middle. Not much stamina though

He's a smarter man than I, but I'd love for Walters to be aggressive and get a valuable defensive piece or 2 from edm or ott for draft picks for sure.  Never want to empty the cupboards so to speak but if there ever was a year to do it I think this is it. 3-peat in Regina, couldn't write a better script. Who knows what happens next season & beyond but man we're so close to dynasty territory...

Sure why not, who would you like to trade for him, Jefferson or Jeffcoat?

Chris Jones would want to keep his contract until FA and will push hard for an extension. If he trades him, he has to hope that Ceresna gets to FA and most importantly doesn't fall in love with playing for a winning team. Too much risk for Jones, Ceresna is a guy you have to think that Jones sees as a key re-signing and would want to keep his rights as long as possible.

I see your point, but I am not sure we necessarily need to do anything drastic. If someone waves someone at us on a fire sale price...sure,,,but I like our teams chances right now without mortgaging any future capital.

Neither. You’d keep all three. Personally I would be looking at sending a first and some sweetener ideally. If it’s for a top tier guy under contract next year then dig deeper with a guy like Dobson. Maybe Chris jones would want one of our back up qbs or bolo to play db.

Adding arguably the best player at his position this year would indeed be a huge add

No way I offer a 1st round pick or Dobson for anyone right now that is heading to FA. Too steep.

Agreed. I think I also heard that this years draft is a gooder.

Agreed. We are not in the business of trading high value Canadians for Americans. The only exception is a top QB (1st for Collaros)

Jones does like to think he's smarter than everyone else so (like Pinball tried with Collaros), he might think he could get him back in a couple months.  

Is falling in love with winning more of a risk than being tired of losing? That team is a tire fire - Ceresna (and every other L'k player) should be weighing their options when they hit FA.

That is why I think that Chris Jones will want every second, of every minute, of every day from now to FA to try and get him to stay. Ceresna is the only defensive player they have that has really earned his money.

Even that trade I would never have gotten behind AT THE TIME if the 1st round pick wasn't conditional on us re-signing him.

I just don't think bringing in a guy for 3 games and a playoff run is going to dramatically improve us enough to justify the cost. 

Edited October 5, 20223 yr by GCn20

Selling the farm for a playoff run in the CFL is always risky business. In the NHL you get best of 7 series but for a lose and you're out scenario absolutely nothing is guaranteed and giving away a pile of assets for maybe a couple games of a player can be reckless. 

This team, knowing that they have proven the ability to rise to the occasion and know how to win and win when it matters... I'd be more inclined to trust the people in place. It's different when you're massacred by injuries like we are in the secondary right now, but if they were really unhappy with the defensive tackles I gotta think they would have made a move there a lot sooner in the season even if it was just PR bodies.
