With Rookie Camps getting underway Wednesday, it's time to talk about the 2026 CFL season!

Remember when a qb getting a million dollar contract was scandalous?

Jeepers that's a lot of money for a receiver. Dude is good no question but.... it's not like he's a Stegall or Simon type receiver.

Weird.

Best nine win team ever.

Kenny is a one of a kind talent...You can't question his ability BUT a few years ago the Esks paid him a bundle to toil for them...As I remember he didn't finish the season because of injury....That's always a worry for every player but every player isn't being paid 333,000 ducats plus to perform...I hope I haven't hexed Kenny ...really like the guy and hope he fills the bill for them BUT that's a lot of cash to tie up in one player...Good luck Lawler ...except when he's trying to carve- up our db's

In 6 seasons, he's only played 18 games once. He played 12/18 in Edmonton and 22/36 in his second stint here. He also had 5 games under 50 yards in those 12 he played with Edmonton. He lights the world on fire for 5-ish games in a year. Misses 1/3 of the games, and tends to be average in the remaining 1/3 ish.

In Dalton's first 2 years here, he had 8 games under 50, only 1 was under 30, though, and only 1 was a single catch game. He still gave us the 5-ish games a season of pure dominance, but in the remaining nearly half a season, he was a strong, steady producer.

Tom McVie replied: The team...At least I could tell my wife to stop.

Kenny is an unreal talent and I loved watching him play.

Consistent he ain't though. 2025 was is first season playing every game.

Letting someone walk to become the highest paid non-QB in the league isn't the same thing as saying you don't want him on your team.

But that's not what happened

No one can match the turtle man.

Pretty much is tho. Bombers didn’t want to pay him as much as Hamilton did. Here’s reality. The bombers could have offered 300,000 dollars per. Hamilton would offer 301,000. Lawler takes the 301. That’s the guy he is. He’s a great player for 1/3 of the season. He’s just not for the other 2/3rds. The spectacular catches don’t happen every game. But good for him. Wonder how much is guaranteed cuz almost 400 on a 34 yr old in 3 years might not age well.

He's the league's best ever and it's not close... I don't even like discussing his name among other receivers because it makes no sense.

Thing is when talking bomber receivers you need to bring up Milton cuz he is the true gold standard on and off the field. Kenny maybe more in the Arland Bruce III group tho. A tier below Milton. So who is in that group? Geroy? Not as a bomber. Robert Gordon? Possibly. I mean. I dunno. Schoen probably ranks higher than Kenny as Schoen was the man from game 2 or 3 on. Where would Kenny rank I wonder.

It's so funny but I had the exact same comp in mind... AB3... Not in terms of their abilities, but in terms of "tiers" of receivers... That's exactly who is out Kenny with.

Tier 1-Milt

Tier 2-James Murphy and Joe Popp
