Yeah not to mention the ridiculousness that is the franchise tag. It’s the anti nba. I mean unrestricted free agency only came in 1993. I think it’s just the owners are much stronger and maybe the pa is afraid to rock the boat too hard. A lot of the revenue streams are close partners with the owners not the league or product.

Like to see all our guys make a roster but right from get go figured Kongbo would be most likely to be back this yr...for him I hope not..and he still may stick..but he would be a welcome addition and I sure this is where he would want to be 9500 per week. So 171k ish per season us. So 222k a year up here with exchange. In reality probably more buying power here. Living expense in New England probably higher. Idk the nuance of the taxes but I’m sure Uncle Sam and uncle Trudeau would take more than just taxes up here. With our question id offer him 250k range per year for 1 year or up to 6+. He’s worth more than Kenny lawler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was brought on solely top take up those 4th quarter snaps so they don't get anyone injured who they care about. Wilson is their present and future. Flacco is just a veteran presence to help him along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 I'd like to think Strev showed enough that SOMEBODY in the NFL would take a chance at him being the back up.

Now why do you even bring a guy in if you are gonna cut him if he lights the world on fire that’s just piss poor roster management.

Why bother taking away reps from a guy they like in White if there was no way Streveler was going to make the roster. Just a huge mess in my opinion. Hopefully another team brings him after this. I think he could play as a third stringer, and utility player in the right circumstance. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCn20 Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) Strev may have extended his NFL hopes with his pre-season play. Might be a team that will PR him, and almost definitely one will pick him up in the offseason for TC if he doesn't land now. Therefore, I would say that because of his TC performance our chances of getting Strev back for a stretch run have increased exponentially. If he doesn't land somewhere in the next 10 days, his very best option would likely be to come back to the Bombers for a stretch run on a prorated one year deal and then set his sights on the NFL in the offseason again. I would say the chances of him coming back to the CFL on a multiyear deal are between slim and none this season. If he is coming back just to stay sharp until the end of the season it would almost certainly be with us.

wbbfan Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Man I would love to get streveler back here. But we also need more nfl tc cut reinforcements than usual right now. Dl wil db rb/wr and ol. Probably more than one db too. On top of if we manage to get one of our guys back from an nfl camp. Any of whom would be huge. I feel like they are also high on brown and prukop is cheap. But strevy as qb2 bumping off prukop would be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
