about time to start this thread, and we'll give the first word to Our Man Tait: 
 

 

Live look at the PAS right now...

I bet Buck is having the time of his life drawing up plays right now.........cant wait to see our offense in action.

Funny part...Sask is paying Hardrick more than we paying Schoen....and BO

Everyone around the country said it could not be done.

Winnipeg Blue Bomber culture wins again, that and a solid paycheck. 2 very important pieces who are solid players and by the sounds of it solid people.

Do we think Haba plays this year? He seemed to look awfully good when he filled in for Jeffcoat last year if I remember correctly.  

Speaking of Jeffcoat ,he's gone? Or?

yup...Hopefully we can give Bailey a lil bump and keep him in the fold...deserves it and is the glue guy...Lawler..Demski..Schoen...Woli and Bailey again...with BO and now Strev sprinkled in....and being able to hit ground running from game one...whats not to like

Haven’t heard that he definitely is, just a lot of posters here talking like he is.  Maybe thinking if they were going to re-sign him they would have done it by now?

Every team needs a guy like Bailey does the dirty work, total team player, wants to be here

Schoen had to re-sign with the Bombers, after all the merchandise his father bought from the Bomber Store.

This is exactly true.

It's no longer come help build us something special,

It's come be part of something special we've built thru blood, sweat and tears.

AND the seal

I love Jeffcoat - but we need a guy in the lineup every week and he just hasn’t been able to do that. We can get younger and  find a guy like Davis II at his salary from last year let alone a pay bump.

I remember seeing somewhere on social media that he was going to test the market (I can't remember the source)... no guarantee he's not back if no one offers more than we are... unless the team has decided to move on 

It just hit me that we got Brady, Streveler and Schoen for a combined 580k.

I totally agree.  I was just curious why not many seem to be talking about Haba in Jeffcoat’s spot. Guy seems good last year.  And would be a lot cheaper I’m sure.

I think they likely go rookie for that 3rd american receiver.

I agree too and as much as I’d love to see Bailey back, I also want to see him make his money and go somewhere he can be a second option. He’s capable enough to do it, I just don’t think we can give him what he deserves.

And Sask got Thurman, Hardrick, and Ouelette  for that.

I truly want Sheed to get more opportunity and money - but man would I hate seeing him somewhere else.

Consider Schoen probably turned down an extra $30-$50k just so his parents wouldn't have to open a road map.  What a great son!
