Good luck to Smith in the future....I'll always remember that Velcro catch and his spunky attitude...He hasn't mentioned anything 'health wise' for his decision but I'm guessing it had a lot to do with concussion.. A job in finance has it's own headaches but nothing compared to the ones you can suffer in football....Best of luck in the money game Ryan.

  • The way this was worded I was hoping Paul Friesen was taking another job, no such luck

    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...

Well we'll also have that bizarre TD grab and great WSF performance to remember him fondly by.  Actually after that WSF game, I was excited to see what he could do this year if he reamined healthy. It was by far the first time he was living up to his potential last season. But it is what it is. Good luck Mr. Smith.

Man, research your posts... you can't just going off like that...   :rolleyes:

From John  Hodge: 

"Smith signed a monster 3-year, $450,000 deal with the Bombers prior to the 2016 regular season."

So, $150k/year......let's put 'er to rest....

How do you know this job offer didn't just come in this week??

I don't but if you read his statement it's pretty clear that he can't play football anymore for health reasons. I just wish he'd have told the Bombers two months ago as I think he knew then (based on his comments) that he wasn't coming back.

They'll never last all 18 games. We know at least one of them will miss games due to injuries. We have virtually nothing behind those guys.

Receiver is not a position I would be so concerned with.  If what you say does happen, there are people that can be called.  The Tori Gurley's of the world will always be around.
