Blitzy Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Good trade you trade a potential FA for another FA. Bombers also extended Willy's contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Anyone remember if the Reilly trade and extension last year was announced in conjunction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_fanaddict Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I think my Willy just extended by extending Drew Willy.... Crocket20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 So is this good? With Poblah and Etienne gone we've lost a big chunk of NI depth. That being said neither contributed much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 You turned those two in a vet defence leader and a potential franchise quarterback. voodoochylde, Blue-urns and Blitzy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 it's FA rights for FA rights correct? so if you don't think you're going to extend Jay Detain that's fine, but man if he goes to the riders and plays well there will be questions asked.

O2L Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Since his contract was extended, does that mean that it remains the same as it was? As in, we'd be paying him what Sask was paying him to be their number 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, we'd be paying him what Sask was paying him to be their number 2? No, it's essentially a new contract but it's deemed an extension because technically, his existing contract was overwritten seen as how it didn't expire until Monday.

Westy Sucks Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hmm. allright. I'm one of those guys that thought Jade was a wasted pick anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I am venturing a guess that we asked Taman to speak with Willy and his agent before making this trade... deal was in place before anything was filed with the league. Etienne for Willy... I'm okay with this - we probably would have got him in free agency but this allows us to focus on signing additional pieces.

Blueandgold Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Sucks to lose Etienne, it's hard to believe that we lost all three of our first round picks from the 2011 draft. Losing Etienne really makes me question why we traded Poblah. Even if we do get Kohlert back we'll be short on Canadian receivers, but maybe Etienne wanted to go back to Sask anyways. I'm happy to get Willy though, if it comes down to it going to camp with Willy and Hall as our main two guys wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. I'd prefer to have Kevin Glenn in the mix as well, but only if the price is right. It's nice that we won't have to overpay to get him.

braddman19 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I was really really hoping to see more of Etienne this year. Like that we finally have a QB, but man do we need Kohlert back now.... hopefully see some new/productive non-imports this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpan85 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 With the moves they have made in the last week I am almost guarantee that Kohlert has a contract already drawn up with the Bombers ready for his signature.
