Writing was on the wall when he didn't play the Grey cup. Maybe even sooner to be honest. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think BOLO is gone though, he’s going to get 120-130ish from somebody. bigg jay, Bigblue204, TBURGESS and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough situation for us, as we are not likely to go 3 NAT receivers and aren't looking to replace Woli or Demski. That makes any decent offer or realistic shot at starting reps pretty tough for us to compete with. Like when we lost Petermann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot of job openings for Natl. receivers unless they accept a backup role, Nate Behar is probably ahead of BOLO on the waiting list. coach17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think there's any savings letting him go. Think they role with rookie level salary at DT every year JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have some cash left over to spend obviously but how much. Who knows. Not everyone remaining will be league minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After his first season that would've been a rookie deal as well. Because he was on practice roster deal before that and typically teams will re-do the practice rosters contracts to add another year at the end of the season. Likely the reason why Evan Holm and Jamal Parker both have another year left on rookie contracts. So even if it wasn't Ricky's first deal technically, I'm almost positive he was making very close to the minimum Fatty Liver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither Holm or Parker played a game in 2021 so there's the difference. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
