His point is that free agency, in most cases, isn’t an open market. Most of these “free agents” already had pre-determined destinations and in the case of Canadian OL, most teams won’t let theirs go unless they are being told they’re hitting the market for a purpose.

He’s not exactly playing at an elite level anymore

You are unhinged. I love it. Never change.

In other former Bomber news, Hamilton signed Chris Smith. we signed DB Javaris Davis

It’s fairly close to it these days. Most numbers I’ve heard suggest the low end for players on any contract beyond their first is about 88-92k, plus incentives

Are we still stuck on the six figures thing in 2025? Things have changed. It’s not 2006 anymore **trigger warning** even Jake Thomas makes 100k+

So basically, no actual similarities. They just wore the same outfit.

Are you just saying names from the past 20 years? The Bombers have been fairly good at bringing talent into the CFL at the receiver position. Better than most teams in the past 5 years.

Nothing. It’s a weird comparison, especially with Darvin Adams sitting right there. Too bad neither one of Darvin or TE literally had their knee explode into a million pieces before we signed them like RWJ.

Lmao is that a serious comment? Are we forgetting who opened this place up?

It makes sense, you’re both old crusty ramblers about everything wait are you Paul Friesen?

I mean, wasn’t I the one who said nobody was going to change anything with that news? Which is exactly what happened? I don’t know why you’re trying to come at me, this did exactly what I said it would do while I was being called an idiot for suggesting it lmao

dad?

He usually mixes in at least one sentence that doesn’t even make factual sense. Next time try including “ARGH FREE AGENCY BEEN OPEN FOR A MONTH I GUESS THEY JUST DONT WANT TO SIGN ANYONE EXCEPT RICKY WHITE JR”

Saw they corrected it … looks like it was meant to be Robbie Lowes

Based on how it’s reading on the transaction report, it’s for the NFL which means we still retain his CFL rights

That exclusive negotiating window sure is coming in handy i’m sure Kenny Lawler will be signing with us any moment eh

Yeah that’s disappointing. I was excited at the prospect of us agreeing to a deal with Dukes, would be curious to hear what happened there. Patterson doesn’t really move the needle much for me at all but if we’re being fair, his numbers were probably better than Dukes’ last season. He just seems very much like more of what we have with Streveler in terms of a short yardage specialist, doesn’t really give me the same belief that he could be the heir apparent to life after Zach like I thought Dukes could be.

Twas me. Not really sure what happened. Buddy just texted me and said “what the hell, we signed Patterson instead?” oh well I don’t need to be accountable, so I won’t be

This might seem surprising given the news from earlier today, but hey if it turns out to be wrong I will ban anyone who criticizes me for it Sources are telling me the Bombers have agreed to terms with Cameron Dukes

truth be told, I think if we do suddenly have a bit more cash to play with for a receiver, we’d be better off saving it for Pokey when he comes back edit: let me clarify, I know he’s under contract if he comes back. I’d give him a raise for this year with an extension attached so we can actually lock a guy up long term and not do this song and dance every year I’d also be pushing for Brady (especially) and Schoen extensions

Okie dokie

It’s flawed because you think this is all on hold for some fairy tale window of exclusivity this weekend. That could’ve been happening by now. It isn’t. It’s not going to.

I don’t even know where to begin with this. It’s so flawed. Good luck with your beliefs on this. I hope you’re right.

Listen to Dunk talk about it on his podcast. That’s where the agents and GMs have their head at regarding this. You wanna hope Kenny Lawler is under the Christmas tree when you wake up tomorrow, go ahead.
