Geebrr Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Definitely the risk he is taking. I’m sure he is confident he can at least get what the LOL’ettes are offering from someone else. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geebrr Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 I didn’t know Geno Lewis was 29. He has lots in the tank, but that was surprising. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCon Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Lewis knows what someone else will pay him. I could totally see Toronto, as Brandon suggested. Big splash to build on the momentum. I'm sure Kelly is cheap. Noeller and Colin Unger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's making a lot of noise but probably misreading the market trend. Nah, the way I see it, Lawler & Lewis will get $300 grand. Duke is a waste of a roster space but someone will sign him. Probably Chris Jones. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's also taking initiative, reaching out to management, trying to be involved with the organization and do promotions and get in the community, etc. But apparently no one is giving him that opportunity. So it's either a massive fail by the Als to not use him as a marketing flag or a clear sign that they have no interest in meeting him at his price point (but you'd think they'd just be clear with him - so seems like a fail either way).

17to85 Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Not to mention it is far better for his healthy to not be subjected to the absolute **** that Sask is trotting out for an offensive line. You want to talk about good family decisions a guy not having his head turned to mush is a pretty good reason to stay the **** away from Sask.

Booch Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 yeah....and even if he did wait to F.A...he still would have signed in Ham...That Ball less guy is just a turd paid by the Riders...much like most on RF.com....Interesting to see who they trot out as starter this summer...and how long it takes for them to be pounded into Drew Willy 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wideleft Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Interesting (don't hate me) info from a riderfans poster regarding FA signings last year: Last year 141 pending FAs extended with their old teams while 65 would sign with new teams after becoming free agents. 89 more either never signed anywhere or were picked up well after free agency opened up. Of the 141 who did stay put 20 signed before the end of December, 65 signed between Jan 1 and the opening of the legal tampering window, 49 extended during the tampering window including the first day of free agency. 6 more opted to re-sign with their old teams in the 2 weeks following becoming free agents. We are still 11 days away from the tampering window opening. Last year 80 of the 141 or 56.7% signed in the period from 11 days before the tampering window opening and the start of free agency. There were some very big names amongst those 80. Jesse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The family decision is that they won’t live in Regina and want their main income generator to be not broken in half. The Gap has literally no appeal outside of over pay. If the guy has comparable options he is going elsewhere. Edited January 26, 2023 by Geebrr Bigblue204 and Noeller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geebrr Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 I would much rather be in Edmonton than the Gap (and Edmonton is whatever).

JCon Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Doesn't matter how much you think your organization is beloved when you've been a tire-fire on and off the field and your coach/GM are on one year deals but should have been canned. That is not a situation anyone wants to go to. No coaches, no players want that. Some will have to live with it. Noeller and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to listen to the Sports Cage yesterday to hear Ball's take on BLM signing in Hamilton, he went on and on through numerous guests trying to justify past statements he's made that didn't work out. Even Luc Mullinder refuted his claims with a little common sense. I'm not sure he even believes most of the **** he's spewing, it's more or less theatrics to draw ears and try to keep his job.

What I know of the situation (Western Canadian radio is a small world and everyone knows everyone, to a degree), he is a RABID Riders fan who's wanted the PBP gig for a very very long time. I think he's legit in his beliefs, for what that's worth. bigg jay, Fatty Liver and JCon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
