voodoochylde Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I don't know what to make of McCune. He's going to be 35 going into camp, but he also started football real late. He didn't even debut in college until he was 22 years old so it's not as if he's got as much wear and tear as your typical 35 year old. He got drafted by the Redskins as a 26 year old and joined the CFL as a 31 year old rookie. He's an absolute specimen on the field and if you want a guy who is going to punish people, I'd say he's one of the hardest hitters in the league. That's a dude that makes you fear the middle of the field. I'd take him but I'd only count on it being for a year. Wow it's like looking in a mirror. Size wise I mean. Yup...pumped up...*makes muscle pose* SHUT UP VOODOO I DO SO LOOK LIKE HIM!! Every day .. in the office .. it's like showing up to Muscle Beach .. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPuDS Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I'm starting to think Matthews and Laurent are going to be back in the CFL. Sweet.. And we probably have a legitimate chance at landing both.. Mathews, I assume, is pretty dang likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially given that I don't ever expect to see either Bilukidi or Mulumba in a Bomber uniform .. (well .. maybe not break the bank but make a damned compelling case to come here).

M.O.A.B. Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 if I'm Walters I offer Matthews the same $$$ we gave Moore for Laurent I'll make the highest paid DL if I can sign him for 3 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 if I'm Walters I offer Matthews the same $$$ we gave Moore for Laurent I'll make the highest paid DL if I can sign him for 3 yrs. That's a good way to bid against yourself and cripple your cap flexibility. You want to invest roughly 7% of your entire salary cap into two receivers, one of which didn't even rack up 200 yards last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why would you pay that much if you don't have to? That's what I'm saying. There's no way anyone is going to make Matthews an offer anywhere near 180k annually, why would you even approach him with that ridiculous of an offer? I doubt he's even asking for that much.

gbill2004 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Walters said we've already made him an offer, but he is exploring his NFL options first. My guess is it would take somewhere in the $120k per season range to sign Matthews. He had a great rookie year, but his value took a hit last season.

I wonder if the increase in Cory Watson's health insurance premium counts against the cap. Bomber_fanaddict 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
