Most of Schoen is off the books, Lawler had a good chunk on the six game. No Lawson. Biggie off now too. I have a hard time believing they are up against it. I honestly think things look good to bring a lot of guys back and pay them what they're worth. Renegotiate this year and use that 6 game money as signing bonuses

yeah you read my mind...we should be alright....plus prob reason as to why we never nrought any vet in or made a deal....looking toward 2025 and using any savings this yr to off-set the 2025 SMS with parts of next yr used in 2024

Clercius would be on a 3 year rookie deal (2 years plus a team option for the 3rd year) since he's a national.

yeah but don't you know the third year option isn't really an option at all... the team can only offer a slight pay increase... 😉

Clercius still on the cheap, Dalton will take the obligatory shave because of his injury, and Lawler will likely have to take a shave as well due to production. I see absolutely no reason why we can't and wouldn't sign both guys and for a lot cheaper possible SMS hit than what we had going into this year. If I were a betting man I'd say Schoen at about 175k with minimal signing bonus but lots of games started bonus available. Lawler at about 180k...a fair deal for both sides imo. We keep both Wilson and Wheatfall and possibly go with extra IMP receiver next year. What a receiving corps that would be....Schoen, Lawler, Wilson, Wheatfall, Demski with Woli/Clercius rotating in to keep guys fresh or if ratio calls for it.

Just in case people are forgetting...

2022

WPG 18 108 70 1441 368 16 20.6 81

2023

WPG 16 111 71 1222 314 10 17.2

 

That's what some people think is expendable because wheatfall has 2 big touchdown catches and Wilson might crack 1000 yards...

Exactly!  I’d give Schoen every opportunity to come back next year.

he will be.....and with a better supporting cast around him...prob will get way less punishment...and man that dude took some serious pounding

If you hear the way Collaros talks about Schoen I doubt they ever part ways until Collaros is done.

Schoen's strengths are what has been missing from our passing game all year. I don't care what Wilson and Wheatfall are capable of, they don't bring to the table of our receiving corps what Schoen does. Different styles entirely. 

Let's win Friday please. The Riders are too close for comfort and I don't think I could handle the stress if we end the weekend only 1 up on them.

Dline might look a bit different in Hamilton.  Adams and Haba aren't practicing today.

Fox is a more than capable replacement.....and would love to see Person get on...and make it impossible to remove him

Wallace is also back.

interesting that Jason Person is listed to our PR on the CFL transaction page on Sept 19... yet nothing on the Bombers website anywhere...

Habba off for fox would be a huge win. 
 Hope Adams is good to go. 
Wallace and feltmate will make for a tough call. Feltmate brings a lot on teams and blocking but Wallace would be our best G off the bench if any one goes down other than kola. 
 

I’d love to see a 30 front with woods fox and Adams. Good luck.

yeah...they would definately get serious push into the pocket

I don’t think they update their site very much. It’s pretty obvious they don’t. Wallace and Fox all listed on the 6 game there still. Scott still on the PR. Devin Adams still listed on the PR. It’s definitely not updated often.

true but that news is only a couple days old... would be understandable if it wasn't updated yet... Person was apparently added to the roster nearly two weeks ago... has any media ever mentioned him? Tait or DT? Can anyone confirm he's actually joined the team?

Devin Adams played last game and is listed on the PR still.

Probably just here for a quick look-see and may get invited back for TC next year.

Google says he’s a member of the bombers. 
 

here’s the cfl.ca release.

honestly they probably just haven’t updated the Website roster in a couple weeks.

CFL transaction page is what to follow for all that.
