Goalie Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 (edited) 300k for Brady. Yeah. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Dude is delusional. Anything close to 200 and I move on. Dudes not worth it. He’s a replaceable RB with 1 good year now. Just delusional. Honestly. Hopefully nobody signs him and he learns a valuable lesson.

Goalie Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I’ve really lost some/quite a bit of respect for Brady now. Honestly. I hope he’s done here. Don’t want him back anymore. Move on. Bigblue204, rebusrankin, Piggy 1 and 3 others 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s true, which isn’t far off the numbers every one was thinking he’d ask, It makes sense why a deal isn’t done. If no one else grabs him at 250 in the first week I actually like our chances of getting a reasonable 200k ish with incentives included. I can see some one giving him 250k possibly though. If he wants $200 I’d let him walk - let alone $250 to $300. rebusrankin, 17to85, wbbfan and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doublezero Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Bombers have already demonstrated they're not prepared to overpay at the RB position. So Brady will be likely gone - even $180k is pushing it. I believe it's possible Schoen too signs elsewhere, not only because of a better offer from another club, but because he knows his career will be extended if he is paired with a QB who delivers the ball on time.

Noeller Posted February 1 Author Report Share Posted February 1 I'm curious how much, if at all, the Bombers worry about the optics of letting a local kid who's involved in charities, etc, go elsewhere.... there's a lot of dumb people who don't necessarily understand the dollars and cents of it all, and just see the Bombers not willing to bring him back. I know we all don't really care about that, but I'm curious how much the Bombers think about it from a PR standpoint...

If people care about that more than the success of the team - they probably aren’t paying to go to games or buying merchandise anyway.

Don't know if this is true or not but heard on the Ray and Benny Podcast that Andrew Harris made $235k at his peak, which would have been around 2019. Could be these are the numbers Brady is basing his ask on. Also Milt advising Brady to stay in Wpg. to take advantage of the outside football earnings that will be much more lucrative than any money he can make elsewhere.

Their goal is to field a competitive team year in, year out. They want a team that is capable of making a run when we host the Grey Cup. They aren't about to cripple our roster by having so much cap space tied up in an expendable position. rebusrankin, Booch and Tracker 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wade might disagree with your viewpoint, his goal is to fill the stadium and sell merchandise, and to that end having a couple of local stars certainly helps.

Geebrr Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Again - this team sets maximums they are willing to spend per position group. If a salary doesn’t fit in that budget it isn’t happening- and that number sure as **** is not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Do ppl think sellouts didn’t happen b4 Demski Harris and Brady got here? Hell I remember the ticat boat incident. That was sell out. No local stars then. ppl don’t care if someone local is on the team. They care about the team winning. you know what wade cares about more? Putting a competitive team on the field. U can’t do that paying a fn RB over 200k. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geebrr Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 FYI - saw the renovated Bomber Store at PAS. It looks good and flows a lot better. The cashiers and the ticket centre have been moved out of the way. BomberBall, GCJenks, Jesse and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning cures everything, but if the Bombers start losing and Brady's replacement sucks.... I'm old enough to remember losing seasons where people complained we didn't have any locals.
