This signing ought to silence fans who said the team was too old.

people tell me the team needs to "get younger" and I'm like isn't he our DC already?

How about this Eberhardt kid in BC .....The guy is like a vacuum cleaner ....just takes in everything thrown his way....might be a bargain there

He's an import but yeah he seems like a good under the radar guy.

I like Robestelli as an up and coming import that may be an odd man out in Sask. Who shouldn't command a huge price, maybe not even second tier pay and KSB, sure some injuries, but again probably the odd man out in Sask. And should be in the second tier of Cdn pay, but has potential to be 1a,1b with Demski.

Maybe someday we can strike out the "U" and put a "C" there? ;)

He has good escapability.   The mobility can be a weapon if they avoid using him as a battering ram like Strev.

the thing is all Walters did was look at the under the radar guys. we need more than that at the receiver position.

Any thoughts on a guy like Kurleigh Kittens Jr. Pending FA, pretty good NI WR. Likely cheaper than Emilus or McInnis. 

You mean Kurley Gittens Jr. Sure, he'd be okay. He had a disappointing season in Edmonton nwhere his production was down. I believe he was injured. .

Both KsB and Gittens seem to miss time pretty regularly. 

I'd take either one, between one of them and demski we might get an entire season

Not sure that's true of Gittens. He only missed one game this year (and only one last year as well).  He did miss half of the 2023 season but played all 18 games in 2022.

Ugh, Kian Schaefer baker is probably the most over rated receiver out there. 

I'd take a flyer on Gittens with a bounce back year though. 

I don't even know I'd say Gittens needs abounce back year as much as a change of scenery.  The L's just sucked and if he doesn't have Ford cosplaying as a legitimate QB, maybe he cracks 1k yards? 

He was still their 2nd leading receiver (50 yards behind Julien-Grant with one less game played) so he was performing as well as one could on that team.

I think Gittens and Demski would be a nice national receiving duo. Ayden Eberhardt may be poised for a breakout. Demski/Gittens/Wilson/Eberhardt and whomever as a 5th guy is potentially an upgrade over last year.

I had a dream last night that we signed Elgersma.

Based on unfortunate observation I think that’s how 90% of people ‘research’ their topics when dispensing their wisdom to the masses on the world wide web.

So how long did we sign him for? :)

Unclear. The rest of the dream involved my dog getting an executive job at an AI company.

His 777 yards would have made him our 2nd leading receiver.

I'd take him. But I like Nield better.

Seriously?

I like Nield as a depth wr but Gittens Jr over him for sure.

Sure. Why not? I'm not expecting this offs season to be any better than last. Someone like Nield would do well, here. We also shouldn't be so high & mighty cuz we know all Walters will do is find the cheapest bang for the buck in free agency.

Gittens? Speaking of free agents... This is Kyle Walters we're talking about. We all know DT is another position we need to majorly upgrade. Jaylon Hutchings was a CFL All Star in calgary. My expectation is the bar won't be set very high. We have no chance of signing him but hey, we all know that Walters & Osh will bring back Jake.

All depends on what Kyle Walters we get, The 2013-2020 KW that hoovered up top FA's with consistency OR the 2021 -2025 KW that swung and missed on just about every FA signing even though they were few and far between. 

set the tone...get in he ear of guys now....No reason we cant be big spenders....and target guys who dont fit last yrs ratio plan....that in itself has screwed us in FA as we had no desore of foresight to see that going in a different directing in some spots would make us better

I'd give Hutching's Agent a deal that makes him top 3rd in salary for a DT in league, and also add some bonuses to it too....I know Kyle says he doesn't like to do that...well maybe learn to like it!

I'd also grease the palm of the top WR available....If that means maybe losing BO for a guy like Mills...Butler....so be it....or just do your damn work and bring in a new back that posses' the right skill-set...they are plentiful down south.
