IC Khari Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Kirk Penton @PentonKirk 1h1 hour ago Seahawks have waived Chris Matthews, but they did that several times last year, too, only to put him on their PR. Stay tuned. #Bombers 2 retweets2 likes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I can see why, with their plethora of talented receivers like....hmmm....who places receiver for Seattle again? Fraser and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Ottawa beat guy also reporting on it, saying the RBs nearly had him signed a couple years ago.....so *if* he came back to Canada, certainly wouldn't only be Bombers in on him.

Tracker Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 That's the beauty of the salary cap- it puts all the teams on an equal footing (barring some creative player funding) and there is no reason the Bombers can't be competitive, particularly if they dump some deadwood (I'm looking at you, Picard).

Fair enough, but that was before they had the 4, 1000 yard receivers playing for them. Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueballz Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I would take Matthews, dump Moore. Guy seems to have difficulty staying healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Moore is absolutely our best receiver and there's no reason we couldn't have both. You push Darvin Adams back to depth player, which is where he should be. Westy Sucks, Bigblue204, CodyT and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolby Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I'd love to see Moore, Adams and Mathews on the starting core, Adams did enough to earn the starting spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I'd love to see Moore, Adams and Mathews on the starting core, Adams did enough to earn the starting spot. Moore, Denmark and Matthews on the starting core, with Dough Alert and Gudino.....Adams as depth or in some situations where you run 4 IMP REC......unless they can somehow recruit a young quality receiver outta the states....

M.O.A.B. Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Chris Matthews, Nick Moore, Ryan Smith, Clarence Denmark, Rory Kohlert .. or Manny Arcenaux instead of Moore. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Walters managed to add Chris Matthews, Ryan Smith and Manny Arcenaux this off-season, I'd stop bitching about him and go down to TC and give him a six pack of beer. Although to be fair, I'd likely start bitching about him two weeks later. bigg jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Adams as a DI I got no problems with but if we're adding a Chris Matthews then the obvious answer is that he simply takes Adams spot because they play the same spot only Matthews does it much much better.

GCn20 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Other teams will be in on Matthews but that Ottawa report is a complete fabrication by Baines. For only 3 days was Matthews a FA in the CFL while the Ottawa franchise was in existence and it had been widely reported that he had NFL interest before FA began.. Would Mr.Baines have us believe that imbetween us , and him signing in the NFL, that the RedBlacks nearly wooed him away from the NFL....LOL.

Fatty Liver Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Didn't Matthews fall off a lot second season here? Sure did, I would go after Arcenaux hard before considering Matthews as an impact receiver. Manny is the physical beast the Bombers lack in their receiving core, in fact I can't recall them ever having a receiver with both size and power. Surprised that Nik Lewis style receivers are not more common in the CFL as the D backs are generally smallish guys and receivers with some bulk can cause a lot of havoc once they get space to operate.

GCn20 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I have been informed that there was a small window of time last year when Matthews had been cut and was fielding CFL offers before re-signing with the Seahawks. Not sure I believe that he was close to coming back to the CFL though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthews was cut by Seattle in September last year in what wasn't just a roster shuffle. They let him go and he was on the outs in the NFL, he tried out for Washington and a few other teams. Ottawa (and Winnipeg) threw tempting money at him to get him to choose the CFL over an NFL PR deal, then injuries took him back to Seattle and the rest is history.

kelownabomberfan Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 If a guy like Wes Welker can find work in the NFL, I don't see why Matthews wouldn't be in demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCn20 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Yea...no kidding. Wes Welker deserves all the chances in the world in the NFL because he was one of the best receivers in the NFL at one point. Matthews...not so much.
