...Lawless says Riders looking at Ottawa Asst GM and John Murphy as potential new GM. Have asked for permission to speak to both. Fwiw.

Or maybe this means Denmark will end up with SSK...which isn't as fantastic and upgrades their REC's....

 

But that means more work for me, sort of.....Paul F

Every team needs TCF

I get that, but do they need tackling dummies too?

So apparently Maurice Price has filed his retirement papers with the league and doesn't plan on playing in 2016.

I am thinking it's high time I did too.  Twenty-five years of free agency after never being signed in the first place is enough, I have to start to accept reality.

I'm only on year 12. Holding out for the right contract!

Interesting tweets about this:

Doesn't your heart go out to those poor Rider fans who have just seen their team lose a draft pick and some salary cap space for nothing in return ... NOT!

If it was us i would be pissed.. But.. After all the Rider Priders walking around thinking they are the best for so long i smiled when i read that.

The wizards in the Winnipeg media have been whining for access to Bomber Assistant Coaches for some time now. Let's see what they actually do with this newfound access, or if the crying was just for the sake of crying all along.

I think we all know that's exactly what it was...

It's only a pair of journa...oh, I can't even give them enough credit to call them that...writers, we'll just say writers, that have ever complained about it.  And the only reason it ever mattered to them isn't because they care about what the assistants think.  It's because they want to find conflict to write about.  They are such shitty writers they can't even begin to think of stories or angles beyond conflict.  So now there is a second voice, and if the assistant's answer about a player doesn't match OShea's word for word... ta-da!  Conflict!

And that isn't crying for the sake of crying.  It's crying because their comfort zone of stories is incredibly narrow, and they do not have the ability to work outside it.

A hard luck receiver with a lot of unfullfilled potential.

So the Riders top receiver now is John Chiles? Yikes.

Chiles is pretty Damn good tho. 

Chiles is but is he a number one?

Not cool what Price did ... The team should be able to recoup the bonus.

I'd understand if he got hurt during training camp and retired but to quit outright is dirty.

Yes Chiles is number one caliber, much better than Price but he may not be fully recovered from an injury he suffered last year.

Maybe the Riders should go after Ottawa for compensation?

scott mitchell said they dont get their draft pick back, and the bonus counts against the sms, ottawa probably fist pumping something finally went their way this offseason, while edmonton is like weeeee

Where you able to get on RiderFans? I've tried using 2 different browsers and have gotten warning messages about it being a deceptive site (Google) or a web forgery (Firefox). Weird.

I was able to access Riderfans okay, Jacquie.

Don't discount Jones' scouting staff... I wouldn't be surprised if they have at least one quality rookie wr this year...

I could see them starting 3 Canadians also.  Chambers, Demski, Bagg.  Add Chiles and you only need one good rookie.  Maybe Jeremy Kelley is the guy.
