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.

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not sure why people keep implying that Schoen would stay on his rookie deal, if he returns to Winnipeg.

Because, he's still on his rookie deal

Yeah he would have to stay on it..as it's a signed contract ..but I expect a restructure and extension...not huge money this yr but if he continues the success 2024 will be significantly higher

Rookie deal but Wade gets him a $100,000per year job with Pinacle. 

Or Obby gets him a 200k per year job at Schwarma Khan somehow

I like Mike Jones but don't see a spot with Nichols, Darby, Houston, Parker, Lawrence and Rose.

We're just too damn good in the db dept......helluva position to be in .. Mike Jones is a quality guy and would fit right in

Sure. But I don't think the club will treat him that - they will restructure, as Booch suggests. I dislike the stuff that DT is tweeting, saying "the Bombers will gain 150-200K in additional value from Schoen's contract."

Doubt there’s room but man Mike Jones is a player. I’d love to see him back here.

Better off with either Parker or Houston on rookie contracts

Houston is in yr 3 here now...doubt he on a rookie deal...that being said tho I sure it's very economical for us

I agree but won’t be surprised that is doesn’t happen until later in the year once the team has an idea of where they will finish under the cap, 6 game injured and such.

Schoen won't get anything extra unless he adds years to his deal.  Wouldn't be surprised if he got bumped up to the 110-120 range this year with a 2 year 500k extension or something like that with 50 percent guaranteed in 2025.

Not sure why the concept of a player being of more value than guys being paid much more than him is offensive.

That's what I think should happen. Just saying I don't think it's fair that the rookie of the year stays at mimimum salary.

Walters would be dumb to let him play this year at his rookie salary when he could get a contract extension. Less of a question of what is fair and more about what is smart IMO.

You give him about 10-15k less than what Bailey made last yr and if he continues with the torrid numbers....then for 2024 he gets a nice bump

They might give him a chunk of bonus money up front to keep him happy. Especially if we haven’t used a lot of our bonus money this year. 
If we get him Re upped and extend his year for another two that’d be massive. 

Can you sign a partially guaranteed deal after your rookie contract (two seasons)?

As far as I know, yes. But it’s only in the last year of your new deal.

If you are asking if next year can be partially guaranteed. No. 

Guess will be a Schoen watch today?...no deal signed window is closed?...I expected him back all along, so don't see an 11th hour deal for him down south

The NFL can go ahead and let him slip through the cracks, their loss is our gain (both our team and our league). What a relief it will be to have him back for another season on such a bargain

The CFL should hire CFL Mix Tapes to do their clips. Their videos suck.

no no, instead they made CFL mix tapes stop producing highlight reels. Cause why let a young person help your brand grow? Their core fans are approaching retirement age, they don't need no kids liking the CFL!!!!
