Is this ever a guy we should take a run at? I really like Pokey as a receiver but not sure he's a 1A Superstar guy... Would you ever take a run at Hatcher as your #1 and then have Pokey and Demski as 2/3?

 

 

As for Ajou, suspension seems well deserved.

Riders having an inkling? Good one. This was an investigation launched months ago. They had more than enough time to read the tea leaves, and dont think for one second that the Riders released him willingly. They are an organization that must be forced to do the right thing.

As much as it pains me to defend the Riders, they were the ones who brought the issue to the league so they did the right thing. They also confirmed that he won't be resigned when his suspension is up - if they were douchebags like Montreal or Toronto, they would gladly take him back.

And sign Brent Lauther which makes no sense.

They'll probably sign Ward. Lol.

Seriously, what happened to Ward? He was that good few years ago. Did he got injured and never fully recovered from it?

Seems his confidence level dropped and a few shanks will do that....I think he's still a competent kicker but with all of this global kicking talent spilling into the market, you better be on your game ...plus

I'm not sure his suspension starts ticking down until he's under contract. Anyway, it was a minimum 6 games and could be more. Not a great opportunity for other teams to considering a player not available for that extended period.

Thats true, but he could sign and challenge the suspension just like Lemon did.

i dont think we see him at all this yr...may be a quiet signing in 2027 off-season tho by some team with poor character decisions.....and really...It's not like he is a great asset anyway...crappy route runner....suspect hands....obviously an arsebag.....and he kinda showed that on field with his actions as well....Looks the part.....but isn't a top end guys...basically bottom end of you roster receiver....his passport was his greatest asset....but he just pissed all over that...

What Ajou did was sexual assault which is serious. So, I doubt he challenges his suspension. He may end up in jail. Chad Kelly never challenged his suspension. he just took his punishment, shut his mouth & did everything he was supposed to do.

Yeah sex pest was more conversation/harassment centered...Ajou was more of an actual physical unwanted touching thing was it not?....so yeah only a fool would challenge his suspension.....Kelly did everything kinda right and caused no issues with it....and being a high profile player and key player position wise I guess good on him and the Argo org for doing all the necessary things..Ajou on other hand is a fart in the wind kinda player and his being on a roster...or off one is negligeable and no team would be better off...or worse for wear for it with him in regards to their roster...he's a big ol nothing burger

His departure really hurt the RIders. Not because he is a great receiver per se, but they run 3 NATs and were already perilously thin for quality depth there. Now they have nothing. This could necessitate a roster flip for them and their NAT depth is mediocre.
