I still expect a DT.

I'm pretty sure he was speaking more generally about players in FA when he said that, not specifically about QBs (also listened to it once a couple of days ago).

If they are already a top prospect, the only place to go is down.

He did play in preseason last year.

They're identical in size.

I'm sure Dunk has more than one person he talks to, but I would believe Walters is one of them.

So many people have been down on Wild as our MLB because of his size. According to the roster, Wild and Know are virtually identical. For season reason I was under the impression that Knox was quite a bit bigger.

I also dislike this part of our OT.

I don't see how you can refer to it as a "real game of football in OT" if I team can score a TD and win. If both sides got a drive, then it would be a real game simulation.

Damn, that's a lot of FAs

Great article.

Brilliant.

Perhaps they didn't officially offer him a contract (or maybe they did, I don't know either way), but Walters said he told Glenn they had x amount of dollars to spend on the QB position and Glenn asked to be released to see if there was a better offer.

Walters mentioned this in a recent interview regarding Glenn as well. They offered him a contract that fit with what they could afford to pay for a back up QB, but he asked to be released to see if other teams were slotting for more in that spot. It could still happen that Glenn doesn't find more money on the open market and we resign him.

You have way too many dollars tied up at the QB situation there.

He apparently played great. He's only a junior though so he's quite a ways out from being relevant to us. i can't believe how early these guys are neg listed. Makes you realize how tough it is to get quality prospects up here.

Normally teams are signing players right now using extra cap space from the previous season. It is good roster and cap management. However, the scuttlebutt this year is that we don't have any extra cap space in order to do that. So, you're right, it's not great news. It's not surprising though.

Remember that Kavis Reed and Matt Nichols spent three years together in Edmonton (Though Nichols was injured for most of it). He may be a fan.

Bauming made the point that none of SAM/Dimeback's were voted as All Stars.

In what sense?

Who didn't spend the 90's watching the Simpsons?

It was a reference to the Simpsons, when Homer bought a gun and Marge was giving him a hard time about it. It was a hilarious post, but not one that was disagreeing with you.

There's also only one team that wins the Grey Cup. And the team that did depended greatly on their superb NI receiver.

He's a Rider now.

That also sucks. Not sure if they snuck under our noses on these guys or we simply didn't want to resign them, but it seems like we've wasted a lot of development time on positions of need for nothing.
