I recall Bombers fans laughing at Chris Jones for doing that last year. Thankfully Huff is smart enough to not spend that kinda coin on a receiver. Is it confirmed what the Riders paid for Weineke? whos to say its 300k tho....u know what assuming does eh? wbbfan, Piggy 1 and Blue-urns 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOLD MEMBER Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) If all comes to fruition Lawler official and Schoen back the entire starting roster as it looks now is amazing. Maybe we can get a kicker for at least competition still. Hoolahoop available? Edited February 8, 2023 by GOLD MEMBER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This morning I read everyone on here saying that it was stupid for a GM to grossly overpay for an American receiver. This afternoon it’s the complete opposite. Lol. And here I thought Riders fans were ridiculous. So the Bombers have 2 players signed for about $900K? Lol , yeah that’ll work out well. Hey Migs, go shove it. You know what gives you away? There is an actual Stamps fan named Stan Peters but he never trolls here. He used to always post on Riderfans. And a Stamps fan doesn't care about the Riders so why would a Stamps fan ask about Weineke?? Your team signs a soon to be crippled qb with your putrid OL & a 500 yard receiver so now you're trolling here? Where's the parade route? We all know the Riders have won so many Grey Cups in February. Edited February 8, 2023 by SpeedFlex27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZC chucking a ball to Woli/Demski//Schoen/Lawler and likely Agudosi, with BOLO and Grant rostered Defensively will line up at current Willie/Walker/.Jake/Lawson /Jeffcoat and Hansen as a rotation end Wilson/Biggie/Darby with a back end of Rose/Nichols/BA/Houston/Lawrence...with Parker back Now how can you say that isn't a good starting point going into camp and not even counting any of the prospects/draftees brought in, or any other free agent signed...got to give Walters credit where credit is due...has done a masterful job When is the last time we didn’t have an impact rookie too.

Putting the cart before the horse is one thing. Sticking it up the horses ass is another. You have the core of a team that’s gone to 3 grey cups in a row and add lawler. When you don’t have a dozen holes in the roster you can afford to splurge. That said I’m sure he’s under 300k. Also we had two players for 900k last year. Worked out pretty well. What was fajardo + duke last year? 33 minutes ago, Booch said: whos to say its 300k tho....u know what assuming does eh? Even if it is, the cap went up 160k. That plus ellingsons 160k would give us 20k extra if we spent all the same money as last year. Bailey wasn’t cheap, we will save at c, and likely save at db as well as some vets likely move on. And with all that we don’t have to fill another hole in cfl fa. No other team can say that. The pieces we need we can get from first year guys.

SpeedFlex27 Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Last year TSN raved about the Lions receiving corps. Yeah, they were really good with Kid Canada (snicker, snicker Glenn Suitor) slinging that rock but our receivers are better than theirs. Zach is going to have a field day... wbbfan and GOLD MEMBER 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Not sure how I feel about 300 in year two (but if cap goes up then it's not a big deal) but taking less because he just wanted to be in Winnipeg just fills my heart. **** every team that isn't us.

Bigblue204 Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 265k is a a bit high...and 300k is hard to swallow...but the cap is supposed to increase. And Walters knows what he is doing, that I have no doubt. If he signed him at that it's cause they could afford it. #FortHew Geebrr, rebusrankin and GCJenks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 265 isn't high for the top receiver in the league... I'm fine with that one. But 300 just seems excessive. But we'll worry about that next year. No guaranteed money wirh this contract so anything can happen next year.

Super Duper Negatron Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Feel like we need a younger piece or two on defense, maybe, and we should be the clear favourites again. Didn't love our linebackers or the interior of our D line last year. Mind you, a healthy Wilson will help. And Darby all season.

Geebrr Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 I am all good at $260k I’ll worry about the 300k next year and see what it looks like compared to other contracts. Averages out to $280k/year. Ain’t that bad. wbbfan and Noeller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Once we get through FA, you'll start seeing a bunch of newbie signing announcements I'd bet.

rebusrankin Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Part of me is worried about the $ for Lawler (more year 2) but I think mainly I am salivating at how good our lineup looks and just enjoying the ride.

My guess is if Leggs loses the field goal job it will be to a Global player as they are still relatively cheap. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
