Can't believe a team won't even give him a contract/ try out. He lit the league on fire, pro football. Can't even get a sniff.

Curious that Sayles hasnt been brought back yet. Wonder if were going after a bigger fish..... This. I suspect we are not going to give sayles good money. It’s a lot easier and cheaper to bring in a first year nose and continue to rotate Canadians at the other dt spot. I think sayles is in grants position last year. Has an offer and it’s not huge. Gonna sit through fa and see if any one wants to pay him or if he wants to continue to play enough to play for a last year type salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they look on tape and see the same guy, why bring him back? Yeah fair enough but he wouldn't stand out before his time in the CFL. What he accomplished in the CFL was nothing short of amazing. A lot of guys with loads of potential on paper but can't get it done when the lights come on He's the complete opposite. I guess that's why I'm no scout lol. The fact that he absolutely dominated pro ball in Canada --- and the talent is here. Is extremely impressive for me. Some guys just know how to contribute.

Rider fans took exception to the first part of that sentence. LaPo deleted that tweet after there an upswell of negative Rider comments. He then posted another that he didn't like Regina because it's too cold & windy which didn't help.

Geebrr Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 Honestly, why would you like living there? Guys go for money and that’s it. Regardless of what they say, in the CFL the cap is low, so that is Regina’s only ability to compete with other places that can’t fit people under the cap.
