@garylawless: Henoc Muamba on way to Hamilton today for a visit with @Ticats supposed to be a visit but can't believe they won't try to get him inked #cfl

@garylawless: Sources around #cfl saying Muamba will visit three teams in next couple of days. Hamilton and Toronto confirmed.

@PentonKirk: Sources say Henoc Muamba visiting Hamilton today, Toronto tomorrow and another team not named #Bombers.

Fair enough but my speculation is Walters went cheap. You need to go big and blow Henoc away.

i sincerely hope if we lose out on the bidding.. its not due to money.. id beat any deal tabled... period.

It's one thing if Muamba signs with Toronto or Hamilton to be closer to home.  That I can understand.  If however, it comes down to money and he signs with Toronto or Hamilton, then Walters has some explaining to do.  No excuse to be outbid by those teams.  

 

If anything he has to offer more money when factoring in the probable lost playoff incentives for this season.

The longer it takes, the better the chances Henoch will sign in Ontario- probably Toronto. Lets not cripple the team financially for one player when there are so many holes in our lineup.

Not many holes on D that's for sure.

Improving your defense covers up some other holes tho, you realize this right? Sure,doesnt change ratio but improves blitz, pass coverage by an MLB And run stopping., henoc > hurl.

Now, if we take hurl and henoc on field at same time.. 3-4 or whatever, we can use another american in liu of bucknor or on dline..

Henoc instantly makes our defense even better then it currently is.

The other issue is, Muamba's family lives in Toronto I believe.  I remember Bluto saying that he sat beside them at a Hamilton game when Winnipeg was playing there.

 

But yeah, I hope Walters puts up the money.  We need some good Canadian players.

Is it his intention to play in the CFL longterm? If it is, Walters 'here's our future plan' needs to be better than the other eight teams.

Should you break the bank for one player? It is interesting how Calgary uses the NFL model for their salary structures. Huff believes that certain positions warrant a specific range in pay structure. When a player gets to the top end and his demands exceed Huff's scale his philosophy is to find a replacement.

That is not unique.  You pretty much described the roster management that every professional sports team goes through, every team has a structure, they aren't making decisions in a vacuum.  Different managers place different values on certain positions and factors.  Muamba would be comparable to Cornish in terms of Canadians playing traditional import positions, break the bank-ers.  There aren't many teams paying running backs as much as Calgary does, basically them and BC.

Taman didn't adhere to this model and the end results speak for themselves.

True, but if you use Cornish as a comparison, does Muamba bring the same level of on-field impact that Cornish does knowing their on opposite sides of the ball?

Muamba plays every snap on D and probably every special team.  At his peak Cornish played 2/3 of the offensive snaps and got 17 touches a game.

 

Fantuz, Getzlaf and Cornish are all in the $225,000 neighbourhood, and there are a handful of offensive linemen up there too.  I think Muamba will be the highest paid Canadian in the league if he comes back.

Henoc is a special teams demon

I believe Henoc should be one of the highest paid Canadians in the league with the exception of perhaps one or two Olinemen

Would love to see Muamba back here but not at any price. There always to seems to be one or two CFL GM's who see this sort of thing as a pecker contest and get carried away.

Bass-muamba-leggett

Any price. Muamba gives us at least a chance at the cup

We know who one of them is.

It says here http://www.nfl.com/player/henocmuamba/2543538/profilethat Henoc is now 242lbs. That's almost the same size as DE Justin Cole. As that accurate? Can he play defensive end ?

 

I believe he was only at 230(ish) when he left the Bombers.

Lawless says Henoc is visiting the Lions today.

lol BC Lions.

He'll probably make the Bombers his last stop and he eventually signs here.

I'm hoping Walters said to him "Go get everyones offer then come talk to me" 

Might as well make the rounds...each stop likely drives up the price.
