so in Chungh..Reilly..Burnham alone they have coughed up probably close to 1.2...1.3 million in cap space...and also added Durant...and looking at Jeffesron..Micha Johnson?/...how the hell can a team do that and field a team around them?

GEE..BC is throwing a lot of cash around...and sems all on offence, but really won't be enough when they will have no money to spend on defense...thy could be brutal as they still have to sign several defensive starters, and may have made SOLI and his 215k too much

can he play QB?..lol

Yeah that would be a nice group to compliment Harris....I really high on Simonese...if not for his screw up a few yrs ago...he would still be down south

I wouldn't have..Easiest lineman to replace...and easiest position on defense to replace

I'd be more than happy about that

as do I...he had his seson of re-aquinting to football...and has all the measurables and tools to be a pretty good receiver...almost imortesque

Sayles...Alexandr..Gaitor..Fenner...and guy I rally like in Humes...we aren't that bad off already...I would look value signing there and put our big coin at receiver, JSK replacement and a D-tackle or end...in that order of neccesity Also if we can get him at a good price...like in the 155-175k range i would go at Filer too

What Ia m trying to say is that i think that we will not really have to replace Demski spot as a Canadian starter..I am thinking we go 2 nationals on defence...Safety and a Linebacker or Dlineman to allow us to only need 1 national receiver as a starter...but if we don't...Simonese can play boundary wideout and we will be fine..

Demski can be replacedstarter wise by Woli...and at the least Simonese can follow a Woli like progression....though I believe we are going to hit a few nationals to play on defense to allow for only 1 national receiver on offence....just a hunch

I bet JSK lands in Montreal...I think he is gonna use the being closer to family thing as It's an easy trip for his kin to travel up for home games

yeah I'd be fine with him...maybe his bro will give him some good words about how the team treats players as well from his time here

gee BC sure has a lot of supposed money to toss around...they gonna have to make some vet cuts....use raw rookies all over their lineup...or they be cheating

But 700k to Reilly accounts for almost 3 to 4 larger salaries above what a 400k qb gets...200k to Burnham..215 to Soli..that's 1.1 million right there plus I sure hunter steward wasnt cheap..no way they can afford chungh and lokombo

He's hoping to latch on ..but I think that ship has sailed..so if he is entertaining offers I hope we make a good one..and if we swing and miss then go hard at Walker and Posey..both will give us the deep threat and speed to stretch defenses..and then watch Adam's flourish

I wouldn't say that..if still negotiating to sign here lends one to think otherwise. And no..its not to drive up BC's offer...also BC has blown a fair wad already..and still have a pile to throw at Reilly..

Of our remaining free agents..I think Alexander was the most vital to be honest. Good halfbacks are gold..and continuity in a backfield is precious..big re-sign

Actually yeah Mathews is..

Walker still out there..and I bet he ain't going to edm if Reilly is gone. Mathews too is CFL bound. NFL has passed him by now. More big names will fall before 11 tomorrow too..

yup...perfect guy to spell off the ends

I would take Chungh at that too...Though I'd move Neuf to center and roll with Chungh and Gray at guard, keeping Couture as the 6th guy. Beltre too would be an intersting option as would Tracey outta the Hammer...easier SMS hit allowing for possibly an Ackie or Lokombo too

technically...Opo's salary and the difference between Augustine and Lafrance would pretty much cover Jefferson..also factor in not bringing back Demski..Loffler..Possibly Chungh leaves more than enough cap room to be honest..We already have 2 other ends signed to rotate with, Lafrance doesn't need to be replaced other than by a entry level ST'er as we have Augustine signed and if we had to stat season right now we have enough O-lineman already under contract.

no saying anywhere he is going to bolt...just he is wanting an amount we are shying away from, so let him explore..see whats available and I sure he and agent will talk with bombers to match if possible, or accept what we offered when he see's that his want vs his value among G.M's isn't the same..

yup...I would pay Ackie or Lokombo or both...Or one of them and Adeleke something that would come to around 275k to 300k or so combined...and fill 2 national spots as starters on defense...pretty sure Adeleke won't garner more than 115-125k for his second deal, and I bet we can get Lokombo or Ackie for around 160-165k

yeah Demski may have out priced himself...and we have depth (finally) at national receiver with a few good prospects in this draft as well if we choose to continue possibly going with a strong National component on offence at receiver, so Demski I don't think is key...that 160k want is much better spent on defensive ratio players to allow us more flexability, and possibly the ability to roster an American return/receiver specialist, or complimentary RB to pair up with harris
