I mean, this guy just throws money at players he wants. No other team can do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand DesJardins needing to field a competitive team in short order after the previous incarnations in Ottawa, but it looks like there is no limit on his budget.

They have one high-priced NI. There's no way that they don't have the space for Lemon. They will have some tough decisions in the next couple off-seasons though.

Guest Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Letting Chevy and his $100k+ go before Labour Day probably helped the Redblacks in signing Lemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBBFanWest Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Amazing how Desjardins always has the money to sign FA's. Every ******* time. If I'm not mistaken, we've signed more than a few FA's in the past year too, so... Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I wonder why there's no official announcement from the RedBlacks yet regrading Shawn Lemon's signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I wonder why there's no official announcement from the RedBlacks yet regrading Shawn Lemon's signing. Maybe waiting until he actually signs although the RedBlacks did announce they had agreed to terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoochylde Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I wonder why there's no official announcement from the RedBlacks yet regrading Shawn Lemon's signing.

Verbal agreement with Lemon ,, probably just waiting until the I's are dotted and T's crossed. Verbal agreement... I remember we had a verbal agreement with Gregg Carr first night of the free-agency in the past, only to find out the next morning that he decided to sign with Edmonton who gave him 10k more than he agreed upon with Winnipeg. Not saying he will not sign with Ottawa eventually, but maybe another (NFL) team gave him a call and shown interest and he will give it another get-go.

His new contract doesn't come into effect until next season. Usually extensions in the CFL come into effect immediately as the remaining contract is ripped up and renegotiated. Willy would be an exception if he's playing out his last contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueandgold Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Willy didn't get any additional money this year with his new contract, just more of it upfront. Ian Wild got cut? I'm surprised that isn't a bigger deal here. It would be nice having him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engelwood Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Bigger news is everywhere I look I do not see Henoc on the colts projected 53. Sounds like he may be cut aswell. Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
