Papi (Castillo) for Dru ?

I don’t think we can do it right now but if or when god forbid Zach gets roughed up, I’d trade a first and a roster player for Dru. I think Dru is a really good quarterback and he’s been absolutely left out to dry in Ottawa.

Could be that Dru comes home after Zach's retirement..kind of like a lot of us envisioned. But who knows

This is it. I get why the league and players like it, don't love it as a fan. I'm a guy in his late 40s whose doing well and I'm not sure I'll add DAZN. I can see a lot of people younger than me with kids, a mortgage, other bills also saying no and I think it hurts the CFL long term.

After thinking more of about this deal, I think it's a short term money burst until they gut the league and try to scam some American cities into making a new league which ultimately will kill everything off.

Beginning of the end of the CFL. I fully expect in 2028 they get rid of Canadian players and try to expand to the US market. Also 4 downs.

It's one game a week. Not anentire season. If people are willing to stop watching the CFL over this then the league might as well just fold up its tent. Canadians sure like to ***** & complain about everything. Nothing is ever good enough. I'm on the fence as to whether I'll get DAZN but if I don't I won't stop watching.

Honestly, this wouldn’t shock me. These are the moves we’ve seen in the first few months. What happens when things stagnate? They’ll have to create more outrage.

I didn't even wanna say that haha, but possibly. Its too early to jump on the lidster train that hard, but I can see it happening.

Given every thing, I'd probably want an asset back in a castillo for dru trade. Sergio was very good last year, he's in his prime for a K, and he's money. Plus he can punt as well.

lol Castillo + another asset for a QB would be the steal of the decade. Not a chance that happens.

The CFL the way it was, was good enough. Getting all the games by paying for one subscription was good enough. No globals was good enough.

As has been pointed out to all of us, it’s a great move for them. The talking heads and players who stand to benefit just always forget this isn’t magical money falling from the skies, it’s just now more expensive to view the product.

I feel like I’m being asked to be happy about the government raising my taxes.

At least, for the most part but debatable of course, taxes go back into infrastructure, healthcare, social services etc.

With this move by the CFL my cynical side thinks capitalist pigs.

2 profitable teams was good enough. Watching the world of sports broadcasting leave the league behind was good enough.

Pretty ironic that a guy who throws a tantrum like a 5 year old if anybody says anything remotely negative about Alberta or makes an age related joke talks about Canadians complaining about everything.

Nah, normally its conditional middle draft pick for a qb. And once a team demotes a guy, its tough to get any asset for them as the contracts are soo high they are heavily incentivized to cut those guys and teams can wait and pick them up, on a better deal, for free.

In a water is wet type of revelation, Farhan posted that Dru has an interest in returning to the Bombers. Well no ****... He didn't want to leave in the first place but needed to for a chance to be a starter.

Nothing against the UFL MVP, but how about a trip of Zach, Dru and Ermagherdsma, if we could afford it?? LFG.

Ya but why would Ottawa want to get rid of Dru? He doesn't have a monster contract. Between him and Mayor they're basically at Kellys pay aren't they? The chances of the Mayor getting hurt behind that OL are likely pretty high right now and they can't afford another losing season, due to injury or not.

Might not happen right away but Ottawa may want to get something for him while they can. It's the last year of his contract and I'm testing FA if I'm Dru. He re-worked his contract so the team could be more aggressive in free agency and his thanks was a demotion to go along with the pay cut. Dinwiddie doesn't seem like his biggest fan so he's probably better off elsewhere.

How very Farhan of him.

Personally, I would put TE on the PR at that point. I think he still has development sitting for a year and watching. Keep brown ready to go and have Bryce do the short yardage stuff.

Pretty much. Some teams don't want to sit on a QB controversy, though. It is very distracting unless you have an incredible locker room to manage it. Imo, ott doesn't have that. I could very well be wrong about that. I don't think that Dinwiddie gives a crap, though. I think he's happy to sit on any QB talent he likes. But, I don't think he cares for Brown.

Unless mccheese becomes some kind of revelation, I could see him trading for one of his 2 old QBs in toronto.

They do need AR assets. Lauther is probably the last K in the league any one would want, and that OL needs work.
