Just so not a fan of signing Hamilton DBs... they are the worst in the league with or without Creehan. I thought we learned from the Bo Smith experiment. And there is no way we should have to trade to 'upgrade' Dan West... ha

We just traded Aprile for a 29 year old special teamer... wtf?

I definitely would not trade a pick now. You are correct.

Does Collaros even have an agent yet?

Two broken replacements for Sorenson in two years...

Big jump for McAdoo...

Funny!

Suber is the most talented player next to Henoc who is a pending free agent... if its still an 'OK' signing, I guess that says something...

Oh, I think Collaros or Willy will end up here... just not Burris to end his career. I'm sure Walters et al can put a long-term plan together.

Not sure what we have to attract a QB... no real top receivers (Edwards is almost retired and Watson perennially hurt) and a very very average, at times terrible, OL. We need a good OL coach and a good QB coach in place asap. I think Mtl, Edmonton, maybe even BC take a run at Burris - I don't see him heading to Wpg.

Every team should be aiming to have their coaching staff in place before free agency... I mean how competitive are you going to be if a guy doesn't know who he's going to play for?

Really think we should be trading a pick for the rights to talk to him... wonder if our 3rd would be enough, maybe with something in 2014 if he starts more than 7 games-ish

Is he getting laser eye surgery too so he can finally read a defence?

Oh right, forgot about that guy. Bummer.

Feeling better about things... MB is a capable coach with experience and just really hoping that Etcheverry's last failure has reeled him in a bit. Tibesar would be a great LB coach. Sure hope Dickenson returns...

Maybe AC will be our new Defensive Coordinator!

Everyone will look because muamba is not just NI but also emerging as one of the best linebackers in the league... I could see 120-140 with 40k signing bonus and maybe incentives too

As long as they are losing Butler to us...

Sign Carter already!

errr what I just remember Etcheverry using absolutely crazy DL formations... and being crap against the run. Now that I look at it, Chick and Baggs had a great season under him... so who knows...

I guess we will see how this plays out... Our only strength right now is the DL... which Etch has had a history of undermining/ignoring... our DBs are probably not fast enough - although Wild, Sears and Suber 'should' excel in his style of D. Henoc too if we sign him... Hopefully, the GeeGees experience woke him up... but, yeah, don't sign him to more than a one year contract. Etcheverry with Tibesar is not striking fear into the hearts of opponents....

Wow, did I never ever ever want to hear the term 'mad scientist' ever again. Ugh.

Cauchy and/or JJ in an Etcheverry defence pretty much equals complete disaster. We'll need super fast, veteran DBs who can read plays... does that actually even exist?

I think the REDBLACKS!!!!111!! would be more interested in signing players at more conventional NI positions just because it's easier to build depth there. Can find a MLB who can play and a backup for him anywhere in the states, if you invest big in a NI at that position you better have a decent guy behind him as a NI. You mean like finding the backup that Joe Mack never did... and now left us completely screwed if Muamba leaves....? Redblacks have Pottinger as backup... plus they likely already have the roster fexibility not to be hooped if Muamba gets injured. Muamba is the best NI heading to free agency - every team will have a look... This is the most ridiculous argument I ever see made against Joe Mack. If Muamba leaves, you don't insert a replacement at MLB. You change your ratio. You think if Cornish left Calgary, Walter takes over? If Harris leaves BC, who takes over there -- Stu Foord? Shologan just left Saskatchewan and they didn't protect his backup. Why? You juggle the ratio. Well, duh. But it is a perfectly reasonable response to... 'Ottawa won't want Muamba because they don't have a backup...; Everybody wants Muamba.
