Bomber Free Agent Discussion
Yes, the same receiving core that won a grey cup is a mess. Our leading receiver last year would’ve ranked fourth on most (I think all) teams in the league. I don’t understand why you’d try and suggest that winning a championship excludes your roster from having weak spots. Our group of receivers has been a weak spot for years. We need to address it. Yes, I understand Harris means we’re going to pass less than other teams. But still - it needs to get better and become more of a balance and if that’s the approach Buck plans to take (which it hopefully is) then he’s gonna need some better receivers.

2019-20 CFL Offseason
i really don't understand the thinking that if the Argos give Willie 300k, they won't be able to pay anyone else. It probably has the affect of limiting them from signing ONE extra big ticket guy. If you can sign Willie at 300k and a rookie at league minimum instead of two guys at 180k, that's about the extent of the impact it has. I'd pay Willie. He's worth it.

3rd round draft pick in 2014 ... 28 years old ... pretty intriguing. Wont be here for a long time but might be here for a good time.

Bomber Free Agent Discussion
We have a ton of cap to spend, I’d be prepared to be the top offer for Willie if I’m Walters. we have to spend our cash somewhere, it may as well be on him. No top $$$ QB, no big money receiver, no first round pick to pay this year, no big money in our secondary. We have a lot of cash to throw around.

Who is the top receiver in free agency?
It went right to Collaros, man

Who is the top receiver in free agency?
I’ve wanted Posey since he was an Argo and I know the Bombers have been in on him both times he’s been available so hopefully third time is the charm

Who is the top receiver in free agency?
The only real thing Pipkin has going for him is he’s mobile and he’s got 3 years of experience despite being 24. Wouldn’t hate it if he got brought in to compete and to see if he could do something with a new system, but wouldn’t be thrilled at all to hear he’s our plan at QB2.

Collaros signs 2 year deal
I mean ... it seems like what is being forgotten in your entire argument is that we don't just decide what Collaros gets paid. He actually has to agree to it.

Collaros signs 2 year deal
Interesting - same bonus as what Nichols got last year and even though he went down, that didn't seem to cripple our cap flexibility at all, did it?

Collaros signs 2 year deal
Legit don't get the griping about the "guaranteed" money, because that term has transitioned away from "cap hit" and nobody has really noticed. Collaros' injury risk is that he's going to miss significant time with a concussion - if that happens, whatever his cap hit is minus the signing bonus is off the cap anyways, because he'll be 6-gamed instantly. I'll wait to see what his signing bonus was, but reality is that Walters and company understand the comparables and the financial implications way better than any of us do and they surely weren't in a position to have to pay way above market for Collaros. If his signing bonus is dead cap money because of an injury? Meh. That really doesn't matter too much because at that point, chances are our season is toast anyways and it's the same risk associated with ANY starting QB. You can't have one without paying big upfront dollars.

I mean ... our star player last year was a guy who is not in the NFL because he loved hanging out asleep with Josh Gordon in Taco Bell drive thrus, we just signed a guy who had a run of making drunk driving a hobby and the funniest part is you keep going on like “The Trinity” would never entertain the idea of bringing in MBT ... except the Bombers are the team that brought him into this league to begin with ...

I’m quite surprised myself. Talked to enough people at Grey Cup who would know and every single person said Collaros was good as gone. Curious to see how it plays out

How do you ever get rid of a player then

There’s also plenty of reason for them to tell Nichols ahead of time. Mainly, respect towards a human who has contributed a lot to our franchise. lots of people forget that while the club is a business, when your business is people you really need to always remember that respect goes a long way. (I know you know all this, just couldn’t find the post you replied to so I quoted yours instead)

Meh. Being Canadian would help but I don’t see how this guy is a guaranteed impact add to any roster the way Farhan claims. Dont get me wrong I still hope we’re the ones who sign him but he’s no guarantee.

The players know how useless John Hodge is just the same way we all do

Bombers Unveil Offensive Coaching Staff
This seems kind of ridiculous. We allowed what, an average of 14 points a game in the playoffs? I'll take my chances with a guy like that.
