Today marks a historical day.  Eight teams will look a little different after today, and the last one will start forming some shape.  Should be interesting.

we just lost our only decent NI receiver...argh....

Great minds think alike...and think alike at the same time.  

I would have posted earlier but i was too busy triple quoting Mike's post.

Praying we have a wink-wink, nudge-nudge deal with Dough-Alert, and he'll be back in Feb...

First thoughts on Kohlert ... I'm hoping we can bring him back. Not a HUGE loss, but it stings a bit.

Kohlert... he's a FA and who knows he's leaning on going to his hometwon Saskatchewan

That hopefully is the only reason we didn't protect him. If he signs with Sask now I'd feel a lot better about this.

lol if you think Kohlert is our only decent NI receiver

Right...there's....hmmmmm....

Kohlert - I'm not happy.  Why would they protect Poblah/Etienne over him?

Kohlert.... I friggin knew it !

So how many FA's did they end up choosing?

Stupidity

Kohlert is 10 times the receiver poblah is.

Hage, Pottinger and Fraser...

 

REDBLACKS fans have to like that they're getting established CFL'ers unlike the last time they did this.

Cory Watson & Jade Etienne? 

Figure Etienne is a sure re-sign now.

Cory Watson?

 

And despite what you say, Jade Etienne is no slouch either if they actually get him involved in the offense. Not to mention we have Aprile and Alli in the pipeline.

Etienne is going to be a FA

Doesn't mean they were protected either.

Not surprised about Kohlert as much as it sucks. I had heard that he had little interest in re-signing here anyway.

We'll see.

That might explain it then.

Our Canadian receivers need major upgrade now. One more hole to fill.

I'd be shocked at Kolhert coming back here at this point in time, but does he sign in Ottawa? Go back home to Sask? 

 

That one hurts.

Perhaps it was already talked about, ie.  Kohlert not wanting/willing to resign here, and that would be why he was left open.

 

Poblah better step it up.  Etienne I want to see good things out of.

I'm not saying Kohlert isn't a loss, but do we seriously think that we have a massive hole at NI receiver now?

 

Realistically, we are probably in a position where we could get away with starting 4 imports at receiver. 4 OL, 1 REC, 2 defensive spots and there you have it.

 

Our depth at NI receiver is fine. Stellar? No. Adequate? Yes.

Watson, Etienne, Poblah, Carter, Foster?

 

Aprile and Alli possibly.

 

Not awesome, but I wouldn't say the cupboard is bare at all.
