If we’re considering guys like Rosey and Manny, why wouldn’t we just bring back Dressler? He’d likely come cheaper and has already played here.

I forgot about Bond... if we’re going to three imports on the line I would’ve loved to have him back.

Demski draws a huge "meh" from me, hopefully Lapo and O'Shea realize that Wolitarsky is the better player and feature him more.

If Nichols sucks then we have a promising sophomore QB to insert. If you want to see a team thats mismanaged the QB position, look no further than the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

How is Edmonton better? Trevor Harris is a big downgrade from Mike Reilly at the most important position, and they're also about to potentially lose Aaron Grymes. I'm not worried about the Esks.

Is the West getting strong? The Riders have no QB, Edmonton (a non playoff team) made sideways moves, and probably got a little worse and Calgary could potentially lose BLM to the Argos.

We have two first round picks and solid players like Gray, Couture, Jones, Peterman, and Simonsie ready to take over. A guy like Peterman could very easily outplay Demski. Good teams can't afford to keep all of their players, you still have the mentality from when the Bombers were a bottom feeder. We're an elite team now that has to rely on drafting and recruiting to stay afloat. We're going to lose some players in free agency and that's okay.

He would've easily gone number one overall if he wasn't NFL bound. Plus he's a Winnipeg boy, so we don't have to worry about him bolting home like Chung.

Loffler is a better tackler and hitter than Jones, but Jones is better in coverage. I'm not worried at all about replacing Loffler with Jones if it comes to that.

I’m not sure Jennings is any better than Collaros. The Riders are screwed if they have to settle for either one of them.

Big loss, I wonder if we can get Wild back at a cheap salary.

I would love to see us bring in Derel Walker and re-sign Dressler.

Last time I was in Arizona, it was around 2 Celcius in the morning and people were wearing bigger winter coats than I wear in Winnipeg... I was absolutely flabbergasted.

I mean, Edmonton missed the playoffs with Reilly last year. Having him on the roster doesn’t guruantee a thing.

I can’t believe that two different leagues are attempting to start right now, they’re just going to canablize whatever (limited) appetitie there is for one of these leagues. There’s no chance America supports both (or one) of these leagues. You can definitely count me in the “won’t be watching” category.

Sure...but how much of that will be on the cap and how much of that will come from under the table?

Sucks to loss Goossen but best of luck to him in his future endeavours.

The CFL needs to get rid of the one year contracts if they’re allowing the option window to be reinstated.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this cap goes to the wayside or the screws are significantly loosened after 2020 and the new CBA has been signed.

Murphy and the "database" have always been overrated. He''ll fit in nicely in Montreal.

They sure liked him as their DC in 2017. I think he has a good chance at getting the job.

Good analysis by Doug. We should start with moving Nichols to one of the desperate teams in the league and using the extra cap space to sign a bonafide number one receiver.

Having a designated Mexican on each team is absolutely ridiculous.

Scott Milanvoich now the temporary OC for the Jags, good for him.

I see the argument in not wanting multiple threads with only a few comments, but what I find worse is having all the information contained in one thread. I find that makes things feel very cluttered and difficult to discuss any one topic, while also making it easy to miss information.
