#Eskimos trade SB Fred Stamps to the Montreal Alouettes for import slotback Kenny Stafford. #CFL #yeg

Ya I think some people see the name Fred Stamps and confuse the current version with the all star version.

Stamps is a good guy, its not his fault that nearly every pass went to Bowman.

Its not like Stamps had the dropsies or anything. Good move for the Als.

I'm good with entering neither of those sweepstakes.

 

I think Riders can't have both Green and Dressler. I kinda like Dressler in Blue&Gold.

 

But I agree that's there a cheaper option out there. I really like Ernest Jackson.

Chiles would be good too. I'm not really high on Ellingson.

Stamps going to Montreal is very similar to Simon going to the Riders at the stage of his career he was win. He may make a play now and again, but in terms of being an elite receiver, those days are gone.

Man, if we ever found a way to get Ellingson into Blue and Gold, I sure wouldn't cry about it...

what happened to the bomber that is on the seahawks practice squad, forget his name, tall guy, who doesn't seem to be doing much there.

 

do we want him back, if he's available?

Chris Matthews?

It would be sweet to sign Dressler purely to see how much the Riders would then trash him and make it seem like he's sub par

Dressler would be nice but I like this Ellingson guy as well. Great hands and a very deceptive type of receiver. To my recollection he didn't drop too many and can take the hits. I think we'd forget all about Matthews if we could sign him. Dressler is going to cost someone a lot of dough. 

Dressler shat the bed last year. I'd have no interest in him if I'm Walters.

Honestly took me a few seconds to realize that this referred to Fred Stamps and not some sort of sentence error that involved the Stampeders.

 

That tells me what I need to know about Fred Stamps right now as a player.

Funny how a guy has a down year and everyone thinks his career is over. We'll see. He led the league in receiving in 2013.... One year ago. Maybe he is done but I wouldn't bet on it. His production may have gone down because Bowman was getting thrown to 10+ times a game... just a thought.

I'm with Mike, Chiles and Ellington would be cheaper and likely more benefical to us.

Denmark/Moore/Chiles/Kolhert/JFG would be a nice corps.

 

 You think having less talented players is better?

I think having a younger player with upside is better. Particularly if the money saved can be used in another area.

Good for Stamps..he deserves to be #1 somewhere, and in Montreal looks like he will be.

He wouldn't be here, but he sure as hell would have been a better option than Romby.

I doubt we'll first look to receivers in FA, but as a last second check-out purchase give me an E. Jackson or a Greg Ellingson please.

 

Makes you wonder why Desjardins wouldn't have done that and kept his star defender.

Still shaking my head over that one.

Agreed. I don't think he'll put up 1300-1400 like he did in his prime, but I won't be shocked if he flirts with a 1k season.

Man, if we ever found a way to get Ellingson into Blue and Gold, I sure wouldn't cry about it...

Nor would I. IMO he'll be a better value than the big names based on a $ / receiving yards basis.

Stamps still has some gas in the tank. Like someone said, the Esks decided that every third pass this year would be thrown to Adarius Bowman instead of spreading it out more among the other receivers so  it's not Fred Stamps fault. He could be a thousand yard receiver.

Dressler shat the bed last year. I'd have no interest in him if I'm Walters.

Yes he did, but Dressler is still a top receiver in this league. I'd still take him over Moore or Denmark myself.

Duressler is still a great receiver. He came back after his NFL stint & then Durant got hurt. You bet I'd sign him! 

Wow no love for Stafford- seems like potential for salary trade to me - edm will win this one in the long run

I'm willing to bet that Stamps is in the league longer than Stafford from this point on.

Stamps was a great receiver who had a bad year.  I expect him to bounce back in Montreal and hit the 1000 yard mark again assuming he doesn't get injured.  Edmonton wasn't using him so getting a younger, cheaper receiver in return is a good deal for them.  I'd call this one a win win.

Chris Matthews?

 

 

yes, that's the guy I meant

 

This reeks of bracing for the loss of SJ Green....

 

I wonder if the Bombers will be in the SJ Green sweepstakes comes Feb.... or the Dressler swwepstakes.

 

Treat free agency like the way some organizations treat the draft. Try to acquire the best player available and then decide what to do with that person (keep or trade away).

If that's the case, then Green is not coming to Saskatchewan. I don't see Dressler going anywhere anytime soon.
