The biggest thing for me this morning is that I ******* love the anthill being kicked and we're nowhere near it. Lovely place to be. 

As far as the salary, while 500k isn't necessarily a lot for a good QB, I personally don't think Bo is a good QB anymore. He had pretty much everything you could ask for in Cgy and still looked done. His arm hasn't been the same since it got hurt in 2018/2019, and I just can't imagine it's going to miraculously be back to what it was pre-injury just because he's in Hamilton, which is arguably (inarguably??) a much worse team than Calgary was last year. 

At any rate, **** the Riders...... going to enjoy the hard "WE WANTED DANE ALL ALONG!!!" spin coming soon...

Don't forget Cody!  They really wanted him back but they wanted to see what FA could offer as well.

500 k is way too much at this point in his career for Mitchell, and with the draft picks this could be eventually considered a fleecing by Calgary down the road. Remember Hamilton has an absolutely terrible O-line he’s not going to be protected like he was in Calgary. 

There's a pretty solid LT that'll be hitting the market. So happens he has a fairly strong history with Bo.

Agree 100%. 
 

now watch edm go after Dane evans and Toronto bring back cf as a back up. 

And in other news, Craig Dickinson says the criders need to get better 🤣

That is way more than I was expecting.

BLM will be lucky to see that 3rd year cash.

If he can be half decent, he'll earn it.

Probably had to go higher than they wanted to. If he made it to FA i imagine Sask would have been offering more $$$ plus incentives, like an endless supply of sheep to bang.

Michael Ball,

Half decent? He needs to light things up to earn it. He's now the 2nd highest payed player behind Collaros. Anything other than elite play and ham is getting ripped off

So does this mean Dane Evans in Saskatchewan then?    

So Rourke gone and BLM out of the west.

Betting sites have removed West Division winner for the next couple of years I guess

My immediate instinct is that of revulsion, therefore I think it is likely a solid move by the Cats.

I'm not shocked by half a Millski for a top QB. That's what you pay.

last hope for a legit starter...and he isnt legit yet....I'd laugh if he went to B.C and was a 1-2 punch with the Vaj...as that seems to be the only way his fragile psychie seems to have a half decn amount of success...knowing he isnt the "guy"

He’s not a top QB though.. maybe before his injury but in my opinion he’s a middle of the road guy at best. Curious to see what will happen, Statistically Calgary had the best o-line in the league and a good running game to keep them honest, Hamilton has neither so far. 

thing is too...Evans isnt a free agent....so they would have to trade for him...and Sask being desperate Ham can right rape em'....that being said Ham may want some stability/insurance behind Mitchell....so a restructure of Evans could be done, or they just make it work...Evans may want to stay there and get back into the tandem thing like before...and maybe learn how to be a pro from BLM as opposed to going to Sask and that shitshow of a joke right now...conceivably the Riders could be trotting out a Shiltz/Faj combo...or a Shiltz/Fine combo...either of which would be just glorious hahaha...cause really...what else is there now for them??

I would expect Dane to get released. 

I don't think he's so far and away better than some other options that Sask would give away too much.

For the health of the league, except when playing us, hoping BLM's tenure with the Cats becomes another ZC feel good story.

when you desperate tho...u overpay...and why woud they release him...they can keep him right through camp with no hit really to the cap other than if he has a bonus...but it would have prob been paid out already in Jan...so really....no reason to release, and what if BLM gets hurt in camp?...be ultra dumb to cut him free when u control him right now...and u know there is a desperate team...and one that is prob dying to try an appease its fan base

With Evans' state of mind being as fragile as it appeared to be on several occasions this past season, getting pummelled again and again behind that set of turnstiles in Regina, he will be in big trouble. If he's on the meds I think he is, physical stress and pain plus the mental distress over having to dump or run for his life every play will play havoc with his confidence and focus.
