Noeller Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 This is sadly becoming my favorite time of year as a Bomber fan. The only time I have hope. I prefer late-May/early-June....."No question, we'll be at least a 10-win team this year!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Not an impending free agent, but more of a missing Bomber in the recent past. Addison Richards. It has been noted on T.E.P., by a certain missing poster, that: "He's having offseason hip surgery and is expected to be ready for training camp. He's seeing a hip specialist as his issue is a little complicated." That poster? - gbill2004 SPuDS and Mark F 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpgallday1960 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 A little OT but Chris Matthews just got released by the Seahawks today: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/11/17/seahawks-waiving-super-bowl-breakout-wideout-chris-matthews/ I'm sure he'll try to explore all NFL options first but could be available next spring.

iso_55 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Riders will have 25 free-agents, among them are: Robb Bagg Chris Getzlaf Ryan Smith Alex Hall Tyron Brackenridge Tyree Hollins Paul Woldu Marshay Green Anthony Allen All 9 of those guys would make us a considerably better team. If we don't go hard in free agency this year, I will be extremely disappointed. They've gone hard in free agency both years under Walters and signed some of the bigger names available. It doesn't mean a damned thing if you can't draft well and can't supplement your free agent additions through your scouting. Free agency is but one part of building a winning team. Scouting is so important & where we've really fallen down. Our CFL draft record is so so under Walters. A hit with Chungh & a miss with Richards & that seems how it's been since 2014. Very similar to Joe Mack. I don't see much of a difference with Walters & I was a huge critic of Mack's drafting .I expected much more from Walters as he was considered a CIS guru when it came to drafting players. Very much a disappointment. I wouldn't want Bagg or Getzlaff here. Older players who will want big contracts again on the downside. Getzlaff can't stay healthy. I like Anthony Allen. If there's 1 FA from the Riders worth signing, it would be Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goossen will likely be the starting center next year and let Richards get healthy first before saying that's a miss (although I would have preferred Durant there). Waggoner will make more of an impact next year too. I'm going to wait a year or two before passing judgement on Walter's drafting.

Always enjoyed gbills contributions and hope he comes back soon. This forum should be working to attract posters, not drive them away. His problem was that for all his stalking of people on twitter to try and get a scoop he really didn't know much about football. Yeah he went to training camp but I don't think he really knew what the hell he was watching cause his reports often were contradictory to what everyone else saw. Just another attention ***** who wasn't smart enough to really get the respect and attention he so desperately wanted. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be awesome and also help out our Canadian ratio Harris could sign here for $10,000 less and still live better. Vancouver is a great cosmopolitan city with an incredibly diverse assortment of stores and restaurants downtown, but you gotta have the bucks. Harris's career isn't going to last forever and I would bet his post-CFL life would be a lot better here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
