Free Agency Frenzy
It would be great for LaFrance to spend a year or 2 actually starting/playing to get that necessary in game experience to prove himself. Not a chance he would get the reps here in Winnipeg behind Harris as he will likely get in Sask. Let's hope he does well (but not vs us) and when his contract is up, he comes home in a few years and takes over for Harris. Could end up being a win win

bunk, with bass and burnett gonzo, this is one I would have liked to see here. Feels like we missed an opportunity here

well with Herb Zurkowsky tweeting this a little while ago, Vernon Adams is now more popular then James Franklin in Regina

Free Agency Frenzy
for what you guys are paying him 100% over priced, there's no ifs ands or buts about it, the guy has had 1 decent game in a blizzard. I wouldn't say he's over rated, he has too small of a sample size to rate him accurately. But why would bombers fans want him? he's a winnipeg boy and we recently released Lochard. We wanted him as a back up. period.

Free Agency Frenzy
I always like when home town boys come to play, but I think with what the riders are paying him, they can have him for now. His sample size is too small to be offering him north of 100K and he's at best be a back up here

Free Agency Frenzy
Im definitely excited of our Dline potential right now, Okpalaugo and Nevis are pretty damn good signings, but I was equally as excited last year when we signed Sholo and Cummings, so I'm holding out on a total fan boi rager at this time lol

Free Agency Frenzy
nope and with Hecht a FA and Edmonton grabbing Lue (who they traded a 2018 4th for) they seem to have lost potential NI's for their safety position

If Williams comes back healthy and not missing a step, he will be the biggest thing ottawa lost today IMO. Jackson+ Williams > Shaw+Spencer all day every day (Kanneh and Jefferson are a wash) it might come down to $. Listening to Desjardin before FA opened he said, most players look for a big pay day after a GC win. I can see this being the case here So I guess the question is; Do you over pay for the extra production, or keep yourself cap friendly while dropping off a bit talent wise

BC was supposedly working something out with him
-
Free Agency Frenzy
well I'm speaking more about free agency, Chungh was playing for us in 2017 regardless of the news today, but yes that started the day off beautifully
-
Free Agency Frenzy
Nevis alone makes this day a win. But other then westerman speculation with Montreal (but as Mike said for what they signed already makes no sense anymore) and no word on LaFrance anywhere, still lots of time. I think last year there were more signings on day 2 then day 1

While the lingering of thought of "what if" remains in how Willy would have done with the Oline Nichols had, I'd take a hard pass on Willy even as a 3rd stringer. Though wouldn't that be something to trade willy and his 400K contract for 1st rounder, 4th rounder and Heath, then get willy back a few months later cheaper and not giving up anything. I think Walters would be known as the Pinball Wizard
-
Free Agency Frenzy
cuz willy kinda sucks too and makes a hell of a lot more and new GM/HC might have some roster shuffling to do
-
Free Agency Frenzy
Thomas is definitely not an every down guy, but good for giving someone a breather. Does anyone know the status of Cummings? was he exploring NFL opportunities? or just an outright FA atm
-
Free Agency Frenzy
all the more reason to kick tires with venable lol
-
Free Agency Frenzy
The argos signed QB Jeff Matthews, I see the days of Willy in double blue numbered, but maybe a waiting job for him in green and white by labour day
-
Free Agency Frenzy
I feel the same way with all things riders, but gotta give credit where its due, Dennis is a big signing for them in an area they desperately needed help. I'd settle for them missing out on deane tho at this point lol
-
Free Agency Frenzy
90K geez, I thought Burnett played pretty well for us, tough to see him leave for so little
-
Free Agency Frenzy
unless were going NI at one of the linebacker positions, I dont see the need for Greenwood, he put up decent numbers in 2016 for 12 games, 70 defensive tackles 2 sacks, but with hurl and Briggs re-signing and waggoner, it'll be pretty crowded for NI LB's if we go all import
-
Free Agency Frenzy
scianitti saying were going after NI DB Matt Black (formerly with the argos) #'s are world beater 44 defensive tackles, 10 ST tackles, 1 INT, 1 FF but could be nice depth
-
Free Agency Frenzy
maybe he needs the chance, with Bear Woods on the roster, no way he played MLB at all or much if any. but I agree both are great WIL's
-
Free Agency Frenzy
lol well watching that 30 mins pre FA show on TSN, they said right off the hop this was the likeliest scenario, especially with Ray and his agent saying he's totally healthy now. He needs some big targets to throw to
-
Free Agency Frenzy
I'd still like to kick some tires on Venable. Can't really say I have much of an opinion on Kyle Knox, I'd like to see Wild/Venable/Leggett behind whats shaping up to be a slick looking Dline
-
Free Agency Frenzy
way to put a pin in the hope balloon. damn it jamal, call up your bro and talk some sense into him! Does hurl even play ST? if I was required to see so little action, I'd play for the bombers for $12.50 a season
-
Free Agency Frenzy
whatever our current oline wants, I say give it to them lol Keeping Nichols upright and time to set up shop is worth every penny... or nickel i guess
