Bye-bye Henoc, we'll see you on the next go-round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryant-Daniels-Goossens-Chungh-Figueroa would keep Willy upright There are a couple of good OL still there for the taking. Not sure if how many are Canucks though. Despite the NI pick-ups we made we could still use some more National OL DR. CFL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Muamba at $250k is worth it... hope Walters is in on this - still don't understand this whole thing about Esks having inside track because Cauchy is there... ridiculous. Adams-New-Waggoner-Johnson-Randle ($550k) Bass(Wild)-Muamba-Leggett ($600k) New-Sholo-Cumkings-Westerman ($650k) $1.8m on defense starters...

Goalie Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Laing and Grymes are Def exploring nfl opportunities. Norman I believe has injury concerns. Wouldn't surprise me if we give him a shot here but... at the same time I think his injury issues are the reason he hasn't been signed. I believe players 1 2 4 and 6 are exploring nfl opportunities. Not sure about B Hall but I'll bet he is also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Lots of quality dlinemen still around.... I'd be interested to see where Getzlaf ends up... I wonder if the Rider fans will turn on him if he goes elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest J5V Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 It's not good that these O-linemen are sitting on the FA list without being picked up by someone. Are they no good? Are they too expensive? Does no one but us need OL help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they no good? Are they too expensive? Does no one but us need OL help? Probably a combination of factors. There aren't many spots available for American OL... Generally only 1 or 2 per team. Then consider that most of those spots are already filled. Only the best of the best among American OL can command a large salary, the rest will learn that being a middle of the pack American OL barely gets you above league minimum. Even a guy like Xavier Fulton who had one great year, will have trouble finding someone willing to pay. As for the Canadians, there is really not much left. I think Wojt will retire, Scott Mitchell has been on his last legs for a couple years now. Norman will find a spot eventually but it will be as a backup, and he probably believes he deserves a starter salary, hence the delay in signing.

I hope that Walters has enough money to sign him if his NFL options are finished. That would be one FA I'd love to see here. rebusrankin and Dragon37 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) We just scored Shologan007 and Cummings. These guys will give our DL, with Westerman, a tremendous boost. We don't need Laing. I'm just worried, at this point, that they may figure these guys will be such an improvement that they would consider keeping Peach, well, because 'he's a hard worker'. The argument against that, of course, is that Peach may be too costly to keep, and we'll go with a newer, cheaper, peach-faced rookie.

iso_55 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 If we have a scintillating DL we can do many things. If we can pressure with just our front 4 imagine how much better we'll be? If we have a chance to sign Laing Walters needs to go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you do with Shologan, our other NI DT? I like Laing, but Shologan is here, and he can do the job. Cummings is also here, and although not an NI, he will be really good for us. So, where's the chance to sign another expensive NI DT when we are set at that position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Ok, follow this. We may or may not have asked about Laing. He may or may not be staying up in Canada. He may or may not have fit in our SMS. It doesn't matter. We pursued and got a very good NI DT to go along with another very good DT. We don't need Laing. So, answer the questions I posed.

Blueballz Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 It's simple, Laing is a younger and better player. IF the opportunity arises to upgrade a position even more we'd be crazy not to. 'Settling' does not breed winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that two clubs have gotten rid of him is a concern. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
