Per @JDunk12: Esks, Riders talking trade. EDM wants No. 1 pick Josiah St. John AND a first for QB James Franklin. SSK, coherently, declined.

Ed Hervey vs. Chris Jones is going to be a real thing to keep your eye on over the coming weeks and months.

To reach for two first round picks, including No. 1 overall, in return for a back-up QB with a handful of pro starts is... hilarious, really

Hearing Toronto QB Ricky Ray's out rest of the season with a punctured lung.

 

Yikes...gotta wonder if the end is nigh for ol' Frito....

Scary!  Trade them Drew Willy for first round pick + Tyler Holmes

That's a scary injury. Gotta think they'll be wanting Drew even more now, although I still can't see us trading him for anything short of a massive overpay.

Collins and Holley looked not bad last week helping Durant pass for 400 yards against you guys I thought.

I love players with enthusiasm and confidence. However, those two (and a few of our guys for that matter ) need to take a lesson from Dressler in what to do after making a standard professional football league catch.

Give the ball back to the referee and return to the huddle.

If you score, different matter.

Gotta wonder if Kevin Glenn heads to TO.

I think as a receiver he tops out as a Anthony Parker type.  Useful but just a touch above average.

Now, I know you've had it out for Parker since before he was drafted, but I think it's time to give him some credit.  He is a top 5 Canadian receiver now and he might breach 1000 yards this season.  Not sure "a touch above average" is really a fair description.

That's terrible news for him and for Toronto's chances of making the playoffs.

They'll have to give up something big if the want Willy now.

I dunno that Montreal would be in a hurry to prop up a division rival like that.

That would be Pops last move I'd imagine. MTL isn't out of a play off spot and if they give up a starting quality QB to a division rival...I can't imagine that ending well for any GM.

What about Lulay? Overall, isn't there more proven ability with Jennings versus Nichols to consider giving up your number 2 guy.

The way Buono seems to find QB's, I would think he would be better off than us if both starters went down and didn't have Lulay or Willy to go to. 

But maybe Lulay is damaged goods, I don't know.

Sure, Lulay's an option too, and they'll have to give something big if they want him.

Glenn would be almost the only band aid solution they could get....

Dan LeFevour might still be a viable option.  He looked good last time he played but that was quite some time ago.

speaking to a #cfl GM, sounds like #bombers stance on trading Drew Willy has become flexible, they are more open to offers. Price is steep

#ArgosNot sure if this is out there already, but I'm hearing #Argos will go with Dan Lefevour at QB with Ricky Ray on the shelf #Argos #CFL

If Toronto wants him, I want a Canadian offensive piece, a draft pick and a QB off their neg list. Easily.

Coombs... a 1st Rd pick and something else would probably make me pull the trigger.

Then you don't really want to trade very bad then. That's way too much.

Why. Toronto is desperate and Willy is a youngish QB with potential still

You're right. I don't want to trade Drew Willy all that badly.

You think Barker is a fool? desperate? Who says Willy plays better than the backups they have there now? Drew will be 30 in a few months and is owed even more money next year. The Argos have to take on his huge contract and hope they can get him turned around also. Not saying maybe they don't trade for him but IMHO they would be foolish to give up a lot to get him.  I'd say a Canadian player and a draft pick, not a first round one either.

I think the argos would have to offer something significant for sure. I don't think the bombers will just give him away. The key phrase in lawless tweet... "price is steep" keyword being "steep"

That's fine Mike. If I were you I wouldn't trade him at all. I wouldn't bet the farm that Nichols doesn't fall apart before the year is over and Willy will be playing. The smart move for you guys is not making one at all.

I swear you're just being difficult.

You don't think Toronto should want Willy because who's to say he'll outplay Toronto's backups but we should keep him because he's a valuable player to have?

Make up your mind.

I will be off the walters band wagon if he trades willy for anything short of 3 first round picks...during this season.
