Figured it would be nice to keep all the non-Bomber dealings of the offseason in one centralized thread ... I'm sure there are exceptions for the BIG stories having their own threads as they come up, but for all the daily tweets and information, we could keep it condensed to one thread.

 

One rumor I saw yesterday from Drew Edwards ... WR Greg Ellingson to Ottawa to reunite with Henry Burris - would be a good move for Ottawa

Quite a hangover that grey cup 2013. Nothing like mortgaging your future.

We interrupt your childish ongoing pot shots at the Riders for this public service announcement:  The Riders at least won the grey cup in 2013 unlike the Cats who have lost 2 in a row. Are you going for a three peat this year?

Pot shots at the Riders are perfectly acceptable over here.

And much appreciated truth be told lol

I've watched both backs living here in Calgary & Cornish is a better back than Reynolds. He's faster, is a better receiver out of the backfield & the fact he's Canadian makes him a ratio changer. Reynolds in his prime would be on the PR behind Cornish. Reynolds lost it FAST!!! He was an all star one season & barely in the lineup the next.

For some perspective, he was 30 when he had his last good season. RB's do drop off quick at that age. Anyway I won't argue your point as I am not a stamps fan and haven't watched them that closely. 

Cornish is a very special player in this league. I would definitely rate him ahead of Reynolds. Heck...I would rate Charlie over Reynolds.

No ****... Charlie Roberts is an all time back. Shame that guy didn't care as much or he really could have been something special.

if not for the passport, I'd take Charlie over Cornish...

Eskimos shave Hugh O'Neill from their roster.

 

Interest in him should be next to nothing.

Ottawa had an import doing both kicking jobs who had the worst accuracy in the league (remember the outcry when we cut him?).  Obviously the whole kicking debacle leading up to Ottawa's first game is yet another of the many examples of Desjardins being the worst GM in the league, but if someone talks enough sense into him, he may see the light in having lousy kicking numbers coming from a NI instead of an import.

 

So there is one place that might be interested.

You know our current kicker makes me forget the last couple of place kickers. LA LA LA. "NI"? isn't that passe.

Ol' Goat Face. YES! YES! YES! YES!!

McDaniel and mace sign extensions... huff has been busy

In a huff - "in an angry or offended manner".

 

With a Huff - in an organized, business-like, knowledgable manner.

 

I knew that guy was gold back when he played for us, and instead of just filling time on the bench, as back up, he would study the other team's signals and use that knowledge against them.

 

Saskatchewan leads the CFL with its 19 pending free agents. Taman said the Riders and Brackenridge's camp have "narrowed the gap" in their talks, but another factor in the process is determining how Brackenridge fits into new defensive co-ordinator Greg Quick's scheme.

@CFL_News: #Riders have agreed to terms w: national Kicker @huuugh18 Hugh O'Neil...via @lucmull95 #CFL #fearthebeard

Well, he does have the look for a poster boy for their holiday destination - Saskabush...

 

  

 

His ability to stick with teams is approaching his FG percentages.

3 attempts, 1 made.

Oh that would be so nice if the talks went completely south and he becomes available. I'm sure a lot of gms are watching this one with interest.

All they need to do is fit him with a banjo and he'll fit right in.

SIGN HIM!!! SIGN HIM!! Haha, hard to imagine Wally lets him go...

Elimimian isn't a pending free agent this Feb is he?

Nope.

So this is a contract renegotiation then? Hate it when players do this.. Unless it was Wally asking for pay cut.. Which would be realllly dumb..
