Lawless freaking out.

Sign Willy because Lulay and Ray will be free agents at the end of this season?  Why not sign Ray or Lulay then?  No one saw Willy in the second half of the season because of injuries?  Makes no sense.

 

If he has an awesome season, throw all of the remaining capspace at him for a signing bonus... no other team will have that opportunity.

 

 

 

Now all your favourite players are going to have to be cut to pay for Willy!

It's all about managing the SMS. Do you think Miller and Walters are stupid?

@PentonKirk: Drew Willy is getting his contract extension, and sources say it's north of 400K per year. #Bombers #CFL

great news.

Penton saying he's been told the contract is valued at north of 400k a year.

 

We'll see how it breaks down when the details leak though, a fair share of that will clearly be bonuses.

 

Hopefully that agreement stipulates "achievements" and does not simply award games played.

Really hoping Drew Willy lives up to the promise and confidence that he's being shown here.

Hopefully MOS has the cojones to sit Willy if he falls short of expectations.

If it is an incentive-laden contract, that would be easier to do.

Great news for the Bombers and the beginning of a solid quarterbacking era in the Peg. Now go out and prove me right Drew Willy.

Good news regardless of the amount. It's not easy to find a QB. US bomber fans should know this more than everyone else.

If Joe Mack were still our GM, he'd say to Willy's agent, "Here's $200k...take it or leave it!"

No do you????

Real good news...excited to see what the kid shows this summer and hopefully fall!

With the cap increase its probably the right value for a 28 year old starting QB.

North of $400K.  More than Mitchell, Reilly, Collaros and Crompton.  In Ray and Burris territory. Good for Willy, I guess.  I hope he earns it this year and going forward.  I still think it's the wrong move.

The Bombers are making a "significant" football announcement at 11am.  Lawless & Penton are thinking it's an extension for Willy.

Bombers extending their Willy.  Had to get that out of the way.

I think that in all fairness, you should probably write a strongly worded letter to the the Chair of the Winnipeg Football Club.  In it, you can outline your concerns and include your extensive CV which will demonstrate just how informed your opinion is.  I'm confident that once they read the letter, they will give it the attention it deserves.

The contract being done now just shows the parties involved are aware of the necessities of getting this deal done now. And in pretty much the same vein, they will have structured this contract in a way that makes sense..for everybody. Well not everyTBbody, but those who can see it for what it's worth.

No horror show, nor distractions to be worried about all year.

What am I saying? Every time Willy has a bad throw, int. or gets sacked, I'm sure we'll hear about THAT bloody contract.

I am more concerned about the length of the contract I want a 3+ year contract.

If Joe Mack were still our GM, he'd say to Willy's agent, "Here's $200k...take it or leave it!"

 

Then he'd tell a long story about the days of leather helmets and a time when people used to wear onions on their belt.

 

Good for Willy and the bombers - I'm guessing base salary is more aroun $300-350 with incentives

 

1/4 of the cap is now tied up in QB and OL, Bob Wylie is full time... if there's a problem now, its on MB's schemes.

What I've learned posting here is you think everything the bombers do is the wrong move so just saying, but since you seem to always think they are doing wrong, your shtick is getting/gotten old.

This must be the earliest an OC has been thrown under the bus. Then again, we did have Crowton.

Lots of folks think whatever the Bombers do is right.  I disagree with something the Bombers did.  Not the first time.  Won't be the last time.  I still hope it works out. 

 

That being said, do you think that Willy's worth more than the rest of the young QB's in the league?

To this franchise he is.

I've agreed with most of the Bombers changes this year.  Only 2 that I disagree with so far...  Willy getting north of $400K and keeping MB as OC.  Your shtick seems to be remembering things that didn't happen then complaining about them.

Well, in fairness, it was the style at the time.

I wasn't asking if the franchise thinks he is.  I was asking what people's own opinions are.  Two very different questions.
