Posted March 31, 20178 yr comment_256430 Paul Friesen reporting he is taking a job outside of football.
March 31, 20178 yr comment_256431 When he was injured last year his injuries were not concussions, were they? Was hoping he'd be our dressler for the next 5 years.. oh wait, we have dressler!

March 31, 20178 yr comment_256448 Certainly unfortunate... but as @Jpan85 pointed out, we still have Denny and Stafford to go along with Dressler and Adams... I wish Mr Smith all the best
March 31, 20178 yr comment_256450 Surprising! Good thing we signed a few WRs this offseason. I wish Ryan all the best I his new career.
March 31, 20178 yr comment_256454 Well this is surprising but the fact is we still have 4+ veteran import receivers so it shouldn't hurt too bad. Just means there is an opportunity for a good rookie to get more reps.
March 31, 20178 yr comment_256455 The only thing that would've made this move perfect is if he had asked for a release, signed with the Riders, received a lofty signing bonus... then retired...

March 31, 20178 yr comment_256462 Interesting, I would think now with his available salary that was fairly significant and already budgeted into the SMS for this year could be allocated for a fairly significant free agent signing or more inclination now to draft the BPA with our first 2 picks and roster them this year. Personally I would be on the horn with Laing giving him Smith's money and a bit more and going all Import receiver
March 31, 20178 yr comment_256463 Hurts less with Denmark back. Wish Smith nothing but the best in his new career.

Some receivers won't make it to the summer and the Bobmers can be there to poach someone.

Wish Smith the best but the timing kinda sucks. If it is job related, not health related (which I doubt with his concussion problems last season) & he knew he had to make a choice I just wish he let the Bombers know a month & a half ago as there were some pretty good receivers available then we could have pursued. Having said that, he still has to look after himself first so he made the best decision for him & his family. Edited March 31, 20178 yr by SpeedFlex27
