mbrg Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 and yet Taman is quoted as saying that Dressler basically signed for what he budgeted and that they won't have to dump salary. Also quoted as saying that he only wants to lose Heenan to NFL. If he stays north, they'll be "very aggressive"....how?? I'm pretty sure every GM I've heard interviewed has said they'll be "very aggressive" in free agency. It is mathematically possible to have several highly compensated players fit under the salary cap. People in Winnipeg have gotten used to the QB and one other guy making good coin, but other teams have realized there's room for more than that. Probably some theories about cups won/lost can be drawn from that, but I'll have to check with my robot army first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Taylor Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I just love that before the cap the Rider fans always complained that teams were going over the cap.. since the cap the Riders have been over the cap many times.. Throw in Watson's salary on top of the other high salaries how in the hell can they possibly sign Heenan back or go after any other free agent. According to Rider fans they will sign Heenan and be active in many of the free agents.. If Riders sign Heenan and any other high profile free agent how can the afford to sign anyone else to field a team. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a running back and a bunch of overpaid WRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPuDS Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 So they are paying 2 receivers $625,00 this year. Yea but even 3 at 775k sounds ridiculous too lolol. Add in Durants salary and it's easily over a million. Absolute insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I just watched Taman's interview from earlier today on the Dressler signing. Taman said Dressler's cap hit is pretty even year to year, and a little lighter in the first year. This contradicts what Penton is saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 And add in Labatte at $200,000+ (?) and that's a lot of money tied up in 5 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 It's always peaches & cream with the Riders. I can't stand that team & its fans. Never trust anything that comes out of that organization as a press release or media conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bonus is a separate thing from salary.Also at RiderFans it was said Labatte is getting $240,000 this season. Edited to add: Forget the figures from RF for Dressler. Apparently it was someone just spouting off. In an interview Taman was asked if Dressler was now the highest paid receiver and replied "maybe".

Taman was asked if Dressler was now the highest paid player on the team. While Taman was saying "no, no.." another (or the same) reporter said reciever. Taman said "oh receiver? Thanks for clarifying. maybe". While Dressler very well could be the highest paid in the league, Taman was very clearly responding to highest paid "on the team". Watch again, you either missed or ignored it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueandgold Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I would hope that Dressler isn't making anything close to Durant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
