Not how it works at all. I agree you take Jake's money and reassign it. What you don't do is grossly overpay at any position.

We could spend gobs of money on 12 guys and have 40 others on rookie contracts and win exactly zero games.

The most successful teams since SMS started have been vigilant about not overpaying. 

If letting BO go allows us to sign 2 other premium NATs thats just smart GMing

 

Which two premium nats are making it to free agency do you think?

Barker was awful on TSN,  shallow insight and out of touch opinions.   LaPo is a million times better then him on TSN.     

Did they ever acknowledge or mention Matt at all since he left?

Oliveira was the heir apparent to Harris. It was obvious that he was losing it as he got older. He definetly lost a step at the end of his career. We don't have an heir apprent ar RB or QB. If we let him walk then we'll have another huge hole. Yes, you will lose STH's as we'll lose more than win. Just look west to Calgary. They let their veterans leave. They went from a team drawing 25-30000 a game to 12000-19000 a game. Fans were pissed off. I see the same scenario here starting to happen with the Bombers if Brady leaves. .

I guess we differ in our belief of how important BO is to us winning.

We cwertainly do but that's why we're here. We had a good discussion.  WE both want the same thing...

He talks about it but there's no number in that article. 

Doesn't want to be top 3, so all the means is less than $600K. 

Big difference between $450K and $590K

And now the numbers are out: $455,300 in hard money & maxes out at $509,300 so yeah I'd say he did the team a favour.
