I think the only attraction for ott with the pest would be dinwiddie. but i don’t think he’d a gotten the ott job with out wanting to work with brown. 

I don’t see any chance that whole scenario goes down. Why would any team in a trade give up brown or the pest for zach? If you’re lucky zach has a good year left. Hasn’t had a good one in two years. The other two have a ton of football left in them. Browns deal is great value as well. 

Madani is garbage as a sports reporter. A less knowledgeable version of suitor. 

in all honesty...why would any team give up on a younger guy with upside still...and is already pretty much proven...For ZC??....Especially based on what has been seen the last 2 yrs and a bit...never happen and a G.M who did that should get canned

Well. Then don’t complain when we don’t sign free agents really. You can’t bring everyone back and honestly Sergio wasn’t even that great. He’s certainly no medlock. And sayles is gonna cost whatever Hamilton paid him and they think he wasn’t worth it. 

I'm not asking to bring everyone back. You want every player to sign a contract paying peanuts. Castillo is a must.

Tremendous comp. Solid, but not special. If he came cheap enough, I'm fine bringing him to camp, but I'm not going out of my way to pay for a guy like Sayles that we SHOULD be able to find a copy of via recruiting. 

IMO, he is definitely NOT in the same conversation as a guy like Jake Ceresna, who you absolutely would break the bank for.

What's your definition of "cheap"? You can't answer that question as youn have no idea.

Not convinced either. But Madani's got us talking about the CFL the first week in January so I thank him for that.

Wasn't Sayles a Bomber find in the last 4 years? Woods/Fox/Adams have all been solid but suffered from lack of playing imo. 

Woods, Fox, and Adams are the definition of meh

fr though. dollar stores are steaming past walmart in popularity. which is kinda of sad when it comes to the economic implications, but screw the waldons. 

Maybe the cfl should get a sponsorship deal or even mutual marketing deal with dollarama/dollar tree

Elgersma selected in usfl draft 

With his lingering interest from the NFL, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in the usfl this year and another nfl camp after that.

hodge also reporting that walters said both bryant and paddy want to continue to play and performed well last year. Which sounds like he’s hoping to lock both back up. 

 I’m fine with running back with both of them and kola gone. I think we need to grab one free agent ol and let every one fight it out for spots.

With the rookie cap, I don't blame him. No incentive to sign with us. Oh look, he was drafted. No Neg List???
