    Hard to see where Ferri fits on our team, even without knowing what we have in the young imports we've signed.  We're covered at WIL, Banks is probably going to play SAM or some hybrid position that t

  • I hope we are not so desperate for linebackers that we are looking at a rapidly aging player who was only barely good enough last year.

  • Why would we want Swayze Waters?  First he's an import kicker.  Second, he hit 72% of his FG's last year, 74% in 2012, and he plays in a dome for half his games.  Third, we just re-signed Mike Renaud

Ferri is one of those guys you HATE playing against but would love to have on your team. He'd be a welcome addition.

expect him to end up in Winnipeg

Seriously? I don't like him, nor do I think he's all that good.

Neither do I.

Why do you expect him here and at what position? He's played DB and LB

Expect him in Winnipeg doing what? Selling used cars at Jim Gauthier Chevrolet? 

I didnt think he had much left when he signed in saskabush... I reaaaaaally dont wanna see him in blue and gold..

Yuck.

I was a big Diamond Feri fan when he was in Montreal.  Looked to me like he'd lost a step or two in Regina.  I hope this rumour isn't true.

FWIW, somebody told me this morning that they expected three definite signings by Winnipeg tomorrow. One of them was Diamond Ferri.

 

I didn't get it at the time, because he wasn't scheduled to be an FA.

I would have thought Ottawa if anywhere but having him here for training camp tryout with no guarantees can't hurt for us.

Who were the other two rumoured to sign?

when you said tomorrow, do you mean before the free agency ? or when the free agency kicks in?

I have no idea. Just casual conversation with one of my friends, I didn't really get into details.

Ottawa's going to be driving up salaries.

I don't get where this idea is coming from.

 

They've already tied up a bunch of cash. They killed any flexibility they may have in terms of cap space when they brought in guys like Shologan, Hage, Burris, Glenn and Fraser. They're probably paying more for their QBs than any team in the league. Ottawa doesn't have a ton to spend.

yup i also have the same thought. unless they cut glenn, they'll probably get some room. if not they might need to supply yhe rest of their roster with cheap free agents (doesnt matter if good or not)

those were the other two I heard also ... but I'm sure you heard it from the same place I did.

Would be very happy to see Waters here. Feels like it's been forever since we've had security at placekicker, and with O'Shea's ties to Waters, this one makes some sense.

hmmm so we are burning a DI on kicker.

Why would we want Swayze Waters?  First he's an import kicker.  Second, he hit 72% of his FG's last year, 74% in 2012, and he plays in a dome for half his games.  Third, we just re-signed Mike Renaud to handle punting duties.  Fourth we have Liri Hirahaluah who I am sure can hit at least 72% of his FGs. 

 

Not saying it won't happen, but I would find it very, very puzzling.

 

Much rather we bring in Congi and Liri to camp as our kickers.

 

 i would rather have Milo than Congi

I'd rather bring Palardy back than Congi.  Yuck.  Same problems, "accurate" kickers with no leg.  If they aren't hitting 90% inside 40, they are killing you with lousy kickoffs and lack of range.
