kelownabomberfan Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Discuss away as the CFLPA has declared him a Free Agent based on a ruling that was handed down by the Ontario court today so you can just walk away from contracts? Might as well save the paper of writing anything down and just do every player deal via verbal commitment and handshake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.O.A.B. Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 if he's a FA now, he's agent should be calling NFL teams now. although, it doesnt stop us from calling him/his agent also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueandgold Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Calgary should sign him to replace Nik Lewis. Yeah. We don't need him.... One would have to assume that he would have no interest in coming here. Winnipeg isn't a place for people with options sadly enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Are you guys kidding? He will be signing in the NFL. The whole point of getting out of the contract was to get to the NFL, not because he hated the Ticats. Mr. Perfect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Really tough to get on with a team right now. With cuts coming up on Saturday will be tough to get on a practice squad down there with no training camp or OTA's under his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Perfect Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 He'd be a fool to risk injury for half a CFL season. He wouldn't have taken things this far if he didn't have a solid notion that he could find work there. Either he signs in the NFL for this upcoming season, or he doesn't play football at all this year IMO. Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair GM Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Calgary should sign him to replace Nik Lewis. Yeah. We don't need him.... One would have to assume that he would have no interest in coming here. Winnipeg isn't a place for people with options sadly enough. Winnipeg does not have a bonafide #1 CFL receiver. Matthews was last year, but I'd argue this year, we have no identity or guys worthy of double coverage. If I'm Chris Williams, that represents opportunity.

Armchair GM Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I honestly think he'd have a lot of interest in coming here. Unfortunately I don't think the Bombers would be interested after just adding two receivers You don't think the Bombers would have interest in adding a CFL all-star?? Because we signed a CFL cast-off and an NFL cast-off? Don't get me wrong, MSW and Kelly could definitely succeed here, but your reasoning is so flawed it is painful. Winnipeg is and should be a testing ground for the rest of the season. As many posters have said, throw a bunch of **** at the wall and see what sticks. You're saying we wouldn't want to bring Chris Williams in; because we've got 2 new receivers we haven't assessed yet, and we are satisfied with Pierce and Denmark?

That he doesn't believe other team's free agents are worth pursuing because we'd overpay for their true value & that he's happy with the players he's got.

17to85 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I wouldn't want WIlliams here because of this crap he's pulled with his contract. I don't care how talented he is if you don't honour your contract to hell with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
