Rod Black Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 The all mighty foot ball god Buono won't pick up other teams scraps. He has a Rolodex of endless amount of super star players.....or so it is told on these boards.... I would assume he goes to Riderville Simmons isn't "other teams scraps" he's a legitimate starting MLB. Something the Lions had until they lost Elimimian. Are other teams scraps considered scraps if acquired by trade? Buono obtained Arland Bruce and Kevin Glenn both by trade, and Paul Maccallum by SK wanting to cut his pay by 30%.By Rolodex, don't you really mean, The DATABASE?

M.O.A.B. Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Didn't know that Jasper Simmons started his CFL career with the Argos as backup LB and ST'er. A good connection with MOS could give us the upper hand on signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I think the team who guarantees he is starting is the team that signs him, I'm not sure the bombers can make that guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueandgold Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 He's a good young player. I don't see a single reason to avoid signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 If it has two legs the Riders will sign anyone. That's Taman's napkin scouting system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I think even thought the defence has been progressing, a unit with a proven CFL ready backer like Simmons, with either Hurl and Bass, Or Bass and Randle makes us better. Randle can go back to corner and Bucknor rotates in and out and focuses on special teams, or Hurl gets rotated in and out and focuses on the teams.

GCn20 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 If he comes cheap...sure why not. Not a priority signing though. As for the Riders interest?? Emry is what exactly? Done? Going to be released? Not coming back this season? Thing with Jasper is that you gotta play him at MLBer. He wouldn't make a very good WIL.

deflated balls Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Took a while to get rid of players like Simmons and now you want to bring another one into the fold? Hope he signs elsewhere....... SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 To be fair to Simmons, it seems like he'd rather be playing on a team not as good as the stamps then not playing. I dunno if i can fault a guy for that type of attitude. Like others have mentioned, careers are short, he isn't being paid tons however it is only for about 5 months but still.... he's not making millions... I have some respect for the guy seeing as tho he could have just sucked it up and dealt with it but the guy wants to play... He wants to play and i don't think theres anything wrong with that. I would have concerns tho about what happens if he plays and isn't good and is then relegated to backup or not playing again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically he's become a free agent right now rather than having to wait till next February. If more than one team is interested there could be a bit of a bidding war for him.

deflated balls Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 If he was a Bomber and reacted this way to not playing, you guys would be all over him for not being a good team player with a bad attitude........ iso_55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 If they gave up on Simmons but still thought highly of him for a guy like Price then Desjardins was a fool. Fool? Or evil genius?……. …….He can get Simmons back now…for the price he wanted. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bb1 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 It's a piece of **** move to ***** about playing time to force your release. I understand he wants more money but it's still a ***** move. You would rather a guy who wants to sit on his a$$ and make his dough.Anybody remember Charlie Roberts threatening to quit if he didn't play more?How did that work out?Guy just wants to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Roberts was an immature little prick and if he wasn't as talented as he was there is no way I would have wanted him on the team. iso_55, Tracker and DR.

SPuDS Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Iso, I think what Mike's saying is that Simmons is losing out on bonuses b/c he's not playing.id imagine he is right.. probably incentive based contract for tackles, sacks, picks, etc.. frankly, Calgary was crazy to consider paying a guy to sit on a suspended list. if he wants out, trade him for an asset or cut him (doh already happened) and bring a body in who isnt causing locker room dramatics.

pigseye Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 This would be a good signing if the Bombers can get him, he could transform the defense much the same way Barrin Simpson did when he came in and would have a huge chip on his shoulder.

And he would be able to display the chip on on his shoulders on August 29. Would we take th guy, from a team we are about to play, just for some insight? Not the Bombers. No way.
