GCn20 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 6 hours ago, ShyGuy said: Stanley Bryant is making 'slightly less' than his 2023 salary which was reportedly $190k and will be 38 when the season starts. He's been in the league what... 14 years now? Oliveira is coming off pretty much an MOP season, making $115k in 2023. As a 26 year old running back, the nature of the game is likely he has this and one more decent contract left in his career. The drop off for Running Backs as they approach 30 is huge. Dude needs to get the bag. I'm sure BO will try to get as high an offer as he possibly can before coming to his senses and coming back to us at a reasonable rate.

Geebrr Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 A 5th rounder in the CFL draft. Hold on to your hats. Better than nothing. I hope there are some conditional aspects to this based on snaps played, record, etc… Noeller and BomberBall 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOBomberFan Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 (edited) Wow. It was pretty much a foregone conclusion Brown was leaving. I'm impressed we were able to get anything at all as it was crystal clear he was heading to FA... OTT taking no chances on someone else swooping in. Kudos Walters and congrats to OTT, they poached one of the most coveted pending FAs Edited January 18 by MOBomberFan Sard and Bigblue204 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be all that upset if Walters gave up on Schoen and diverted his money to Strev., need to pay him at least double what Brown was earning.

Blue In BC Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Something is better than nothing but he still might reach free agency and see what offers he receives. Sad to see him go but it seemed inevitable. Good luck to him and his continued CFL success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa may have been in the running for Strev. This essentially puts them out of it. Also, as pointed out, the negotiation window for Ottawa is a lot smaller than it would have been if they had him earlier so hence the lower value. To me it just comes down to timing and I think to an extent we blew it a bit. Bigblue204 and Jesse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that, plus a pick which could be a ST guy or something..... it's a win. It's supposed to be a deep draft this year so I'd take a flyer on an NFL guy with that type of "free" pick. We don't currently have any of those high level guys waiting to catch on down south (other than Ford I guess but I expect him back this year). Could be a good time to add a future prospect.

Bigblue204 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 I'm not sure why people think they didn't get enough, or dropped the ball. Lol. As soon as that clock hit 00:00 in the Grey Cup, Brown was gone. He was never coming back regardless of the wishful thinking. Getting anything for what is essentially an unproven QB who was absolutely going to the FA market is a very solid move. Good luck to Brown. And Fantastic move by Walters.
