This was just a little piece in yesterday's Sun but Penton reported that Henoc has turned down an extension offer that would pay him Shea Emry money. Anybody else worried that he pulls a Labbate and leaves? I mean is it a money thing? Not wanting to be here?

 

 

Henoc for Collaros.  Do it.

ehh I'd rather just start tampering and let Collaros know that he doesn't have to sign anywhere for next year until he's heard the Bombers out. 

You can't pay Muamba what his agent is telling him the NFL will pay. He isn't signing sports fans. We the f would he? And why would anybody trade a box of tape for a guy who they won't be able to sign?

as good as muamba is I just don't see him having the kind of trade value that makes it worth shipping him out. Ship him out and you have no chance of getting him back as a FA, at least there's still the chance now that you can re-sign him just because I think the Bomber would be willing to pay more than any other CFL team. 

And all you armchair GMshow much should u pay him?

best offer he gets + $1

I respect that he wants to wait.  Significant changes with contracts and salary cap could be coming, so it makes sense to see what happens before putting pen to paper. Hopefully it doesn't end up being a bad decision on his part.  Either way, I expect us to be in the bidding come time when the market determines his value.  

Heads up he becomes a FA in Feb. the CBA doesn't expire until the first day of TC.

Its the truth, if Henoc leaves, Cauchy gets cut and likely not picked up by anybody.

I would keep Cauchy as a backup assuming he takes a pay cut.

I wouldn't oppose that.

 

And they could deliver his pay with receivers through  different routes, in different zones, so that he gets the importance of  reading the flow of where the action is.

guys with that much experience and some physical skills get cut and not picked up when there's a new team coming in and suddenly the marginal NIs have so much increased value just based on the increase in new jobs? No I don't think so. 

That money is better spent elsewhere on the team.

yup. either as a starter or as an ST/backup.. he's nowhere near as piss poor as, people are making him out to be..

The sad part is piss poor is a relative term. As the talent pool gets diluted in Ottawa so the value of piss poor increases.

The draft just becomes that much more relative in building your NI tree. Taking the best athlete approach is pointless unless he fits a position of need.

Yes, but a new deal will be negotiated during the off-season. The details will be out even if it isn't in effect.

What makes you think that. Check the history on just how slow this process has been in the past.

Well they have to have it done at least before the season starts.

If players like Max Hall and Cauchy Muamba were half as decent as you make them out to be our team would be 10-2 instead of 2-10. I'm in favor of Cauchy staying on as a backup, but he has no business being a regular starter.

They haven't in the past.  The PA doesn't have a whole ton of leverage because there is no shortage of football players and they are hardly a unified group.  They will play under the terms of the current deal until they get a new one.

Ok thanks. I've been trying to research that but haven't found a conclusive answer.
