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

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

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?

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.

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.
