Mr. Perfect Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Maybe I'm too much sunshine and rainbows given the success of this regime, but I wouldn't be surprised if Demski has agreed to terms but their letting Walters go after our other pieces and restructuring a Demski contract as far as salary/bonuses go based on what KW can get accomplished over the next few days. As Mike mentioned previously, you don't sign an aging QB, God bless Zach as good as he is, and let a top target walk out the door - a local one at that.

Geebrr Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) When KW did interviews at the GM meetings it was asked what was happening with Jeffcoat and Demski and he made it sound like those were locks.

We know this core group is all in for a 2025 GC at IGF as the cherry on the Sunday of this magical run. Demski, of all people, would want to be a part of that.

wbbfan Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Happy to have Darby back. He can play just about any db position and is excellent at both Sam and s. Hopefully ba stays healthy this year but great insurance at s and a strong starter. Piggy 1, Mark H., Stickem and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, restructuring it as they go is going too far, lol. But I still think he’s not going anywhere. I think he is trying to get paid full value and wants to have some official offers from other teams to help his bargaining position. Walters will get it done.

Mr. Perfect Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 GREAT point by DT on Twitter just now regarding Demski and ratio implications: "Bombers have no worries about the 7+1 Canadian rule that starts next season. Bighill, Bryant, Hardrick, Alexander and others qualify to be ‘nationalized’." Sorry, can't figure out how to embed tweets for the life of me haha! 19 minutes ago, Jesse said: Well, restructuring it as they go is going too far, lol. But I still think he’s not going anywhere.

Restructure doesn't mean less money...lol.

Absolutely. I would imagine KW and co want to avoid losing two local boys in back to back off-seasons. Geebrr, rebusrankin and Noeller 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 so as it stands right now...we have Drab, Rose, Nichols, Alexander, Lawrence, Houston and Parker all signed for 2023...I guess you can lump i Holm there too, but he wont crack the lineup with those guys there as our DB pool going into camp with the new recruits and any free agent we may sign...which I think is none now...and we focus on 1 legit big ticket receiver now...and a DT with some presence and pedigree.....with Biggy and Wilson healthy going into camp....the Jeffs signed...Hansen will also be ready for camp as the rotation guy....and I expect more from Lawson who was more than adequate cutting his teeth this past year....this defense I can see doing 2021 things again...without a doubt...and they gonna be hungry cause they all been stewwing too long already about how 2022 ended rebusrankin, Noeller, Piggy 1 and 2 others 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he doesn't surprise us like Desjarlais by signing with another team before we even know he's interested in coming back to the CFL. Although it's obvious Walters knew about it.

Key now will be finding the next Kongbo in terms of that rotational Canadian on the DL. Could really be DT or DE. Quite a few in this draft coming up both NCAA and CIS guys, also have Lawson. Kongbo will be overpriced when he comes back for good. Need to get Maruo back or replace him with a Canadian or Global too. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
