Pete Catan's Ghost

Frankie Williams was the best though...threatening D. Adams. A real thug.

Can we stop all this fool talk? This team is way too strong for reclamation projects like Duron Carter.

They also have two QBs who have won games in this league. That’s more than some teams can say.

Watch out boy. They be serving up the "nut liquor".

So much for the reception I get on my tinfoil hat.

As rare as trades are, I can see the possibility of them shipping Eli to The RedBlacks. After all, It was their coach (Lapo) who has some kind of family connection that enticed him to come to Wpg in the first place. Eli's contract also only runs through this season and he might still get some NFL attention to boot. A Canadian center can get you some shiny things.

Keep talking like that and somebody will mistake him for a punter.

So, the O.C. that could only squeeze 700 yards out of him in Wpg wanted him badly enough to go hard? This says that Lapo feels Arbuckle can get more production than Darvin had in 2019.

As per Eddie Tait, Rios is no longer with the team.

Time to re-watch the big game and review how Darvin completely took Frankie W and Simoni off their games.

I see Hammie ending up with egg on their faces (sorry). Once they Cats lose out to either Wpg or T.O. on Willie, they'l go running to Davis as a consolation prize. Davis will promptly flip them the bird and say "if you wanted me so badly, where were you before?" He'll then sign with one of the two who didn't get Willie.

It was the passport along with the production that allowed us to mostly forgive the penalties.

Remember when he drew Willie J.-level attention from us before signing as a fa with The Als.?

The difference is, any seriously interested prospective teams had to submit their final offer to the league and the player’s association by noon. They can’t up the $ over the next 48 hrs.

There's only one person who can handle that job.

Newsflash: it’s already died with 99% of posters. 3 zealots don’t make a fan base.

Briefly maybe. Flute couldn’t sustain it, and he had already cemented his place as one of the greatest CFL QBs of all time, before winning back to back cups with T. O.

Toronto (hypothetically) can want him all they want. The dangerous part is submitting the binding offer. It’s pretty risky tying up 250000-290000, while knowing that we have the final 48 hrs of sole 1:1 negotiating rights. Essentially, it would take them out of the bidding for other big ticket free agents.

Does anyone know the status of our defensive coaches?

Naylor claims to be hearing rumblings that Argos are going hard after Willie J. If this is true then they are going to have to submit a formal offer to the league/CFLPA. Once submitted, they are bound to it. This means that they have to be more careful with their $ because they are on the hook for his offer. This potentially take them out of the running for other top talent until Willie's camp makes a decision. Anybody who makes an exorbitant offer for another team's free agents will run into the same risks. The BB don't have to offer a counter until the last 48 hours, so they are in the catbird seat.

3DownNation reports that the first offer during the negotiating window has been submitted. It's a Stamps offer for OL Sean McEwen. Even though there was no $ attached, I'm pleasantly surprised that it was made public. Hopefully there will be more to come.

Tomorrow is the inaugural start of the CFL Free Agency Negotiating Window. There are a few things to like about this, not the least of which, is the standardization by which teams can communicate and potentially make binding offers with free agent prior to the formal free agency opening on Feb 11. The interested team's specific player offers are submitted to the CFL and CFLPA between Feb 2nd (noon) and 9th (noon). Now it gets good, because all offers will then be shared with the rest of the CFL teams before each team gets 48 hrs to negotiate with their own players.The player has the final 2 hours to mull over all of their offers before making a decision. Since this is the first go, I'm expecting glitches. Hopefully we're treated to some leaks along the way.

Agreed. Orange played on 6 CFL teams in the last 4 years. Something smells.
