Too soon?  Too many truly painful Grey Cup losses have taken the sting out of yesterday's loss already.

Time to look forward while we cope with the recent disappointment.  

Who do we keep?  Who do we let go?  Who do we go after?

Someone was going to start this thread at some point.

Bailey and Ellingson money will cover that...Demski and Woli are locked in...Agudosi surely gets a spot...and he is a tenacious dude and loves to do what Bailey does...and on teams too...was a real positive thing about him in NFL camps...just never got the right situ to stick...we also have BOLO who is only gonna improve and has huge upside....and dont sleep on Heilhigh...real sleeper break out guy in making...shocked he was let go from NFL camps...and not just my opinion but of others down south...So if Schoen is back, and even on a restructured deal....we be Aight without Bailey and Ellingson.....a starting group with Lawler..Demski...Woli..Schoen and Agudosi with Bolo..Grant...Heiligh all possibly on roster...behind that oline with Brady O tenderizing the meat, and ZC doing his thing is gonna give teams fits....like who do u cover or double team and not get roasted by someone else?

Three.....count em...three years....Nic you just made my day....no ....you just made me happy for the next three years....I just couldn't believe he'd ditch us like another former home town guy did....Good on you Walters for giving our guy ....and the Bomber faithful a concrete future going forward............Luv it

I never doubted it...Demski is a different personality than Harris, and less of for a lack of a better word baby when it comes to certain things...and is more of a FIFO guy than Harris...he gace us some good yrs...helped us get the monkey off our backs, but he also wasnt as FIFO as many are led to believe...and thats from inside the locker room...not just speculation

Not a single player on our FA list that I would lose sleep over if we let walk. I think with Briggs it's going to come down to whether he still wants to play.

Great job by Kyle Walters

yeah I think even last yr was touch and go if he was gonna continue

The Friesen article earlier this week.... Jayyyyzuuussss. Making it sound like he hasn't even been trying to sign receivers... 

He will consider himself a part of getting this deal done.

Have you forgotten that Friesen is so “well” connected that the truth is almost always the opposite of what he writes? 

 

We are all Nielsen’s son. 

How is this Jennings story on 3DN their top article?

He couldn’t read defences and that’s why he isn’t in the league more than anything.

Not according to the article 

I really wanted to quote tweet that piece with tl/dr: he sucks. 

Man you can’t hope for more than what the mafia have gotten done before free agency.

Hopefully we get Rashed Bailry done. He's more valuable than Ellingson who was hurt for 2/3 of the season & did nothing in the playoffs & Grey Cup. His contract can go & we can use the money for someone else. 

 

I'll bet Noeller sleeps well, tonight.

As will I ......that one had me a tad worried. Walters is a freakin genius.

It's been pretty much par for the course with this regime...hence the prolonged success and professionalism here, and guys wanting/willing to stay if given fair compensation

Wonder if Micah Johnson would take a team friendly deal to win another ring and have the fun of reeking havoc with the jeffs?

We really have to get younger in a few spots.

They're aware, but they were also 15-3 last season and deserved to run it back.

Micah Johnson wasn’t 15-3, so he deserves nothing from us. 
 

I’m not interested at all. 

Go find a DT

I didn't realize you were talking about Micah.

I'm pretty ambivalent towards him.

Yeah, I meant Micah.

Our whole D-line doesn’t need to be 30+

Totally fair. Walter has spoken about moving on from 1-2 guys each year so you don't have to replace the whole core at once. We're actually pretty good across most position groups!

Agreed

Three years!!!

 

 

Late to the party... but who ******* cares!

 

 

Like there was any doubt tho. Lol 

Johnson had a solid yr last yr...and I wouldn't be opposed to a stop gap with him this yr...with the Jeff's off the edge..it be a nice combo in my opinion

Respect your opinion, but I’ve never regretted us not signing him and he is bouncing all over the place lately.  4th team in 5 years?
 

 

No reason to think that our scouts won't provide us with 1-2 new starters this year.

As long as they start because of merit and not because of long term injury replacement, then we're sitting pretty.

Any reports on how much $
