November 19, 20186 yr comment_369472 Ouch that is a lot of guys to sign up ... I'm hoping they can retain most of that o-line
November 19, 20186 yr comment_369475 Ow. I know all teams have a similar list but that's a lot of people to sign. OL, Biggie and JSK are key signings for me. Lock them up and work from there.

November 19, 20186 yr comment_369488 Sounds like Dressler is interested in another year if they want him, can't see O'Shea saying no. Same goes for Medlock. Edited November 19, 20186 yr by Throw Long Bannatyne
November 19, 20186 yr comment_369492 I'd actually say no to medlock. I doubt he wants to take a cut, and honestly he is just too expensive. You don't need to pay a kicker that much. Hell, maybe Lankford trys out next year as a kicker lololololol

I don't know how much he gets paid but he's worthy every penny.
November 19, 20186 yr comment_369504 I say no to dressler. Not worth the money and we need to shift that money to a proven free agent receiver who can stretch the field.

November 20, 20186 yr comment_369606 Take this for whatever its worth. I heard on radio here that Medlock definitely wants to stay with Bombers

In 2017, the Bombers were undefeated without him in the lineup (4-0). In 2016, they were also undefeated without him in the lineup (3-0). Edited November 20, 20186 yr by blue_gold_84 bye week in 2016
November 20, 20186 yr comment_369614 I know for certain he wants to stay in Winnipeg...and if he comes back for same money...have no issue with it....he's worth it, especially if we can flip our ratio to allow us to have another skill position guy on the roster for returns...be it a receiver...or a guy who can play DB. On the fence with Dressler...If we can land a big time number one to go with Adams and Woli...then I actually wouldn't mind seeing Dressler back in same role, but wouldn't pay more than what Demski got last year for him, and you start Simonese on the boundary...truly believe he will bust out next year like Woli did this year. We do what we gotta do to try and lock down Biggie...also JSK wants to resign here, so that should be a slam dunk...and whispers I hear is that Goose/Chungh and Bryant are all but a formality once the dust settles with the CBA We just need to focus on the Jeffcoat situation and get him locked in...and if it is ath the expense of Opo...thats the price of business, tho I know the staff love Opo here..will be inter sting to see where our main targets are with our own guys

November 20, 20186 yr comment_369639 Medlock has really improved his punting.....in terms of average, net, and placement and made 90% of his FG's. He can also mentor a younger guy. Just sign him, already

November 20, 20186 yr comment_369645 I just don't get the idea that Dressler isn't worth the money... he was our best receiver all season long and Nichols clearly looks to him when he needs a play. How is that not worth the money?
November 20, 20186 yr comment_369665 Is Dressler a good player? Sure, but he's also playing the most important slot position. And regardless of whether he was injured this year he didn't even get close to reaching the 1000 yard mark (being durable is a good thing). Wolitarsky actually had more yards than him this year playing a ton of his time as the last read. We had 1 receiver in the top 20 this year. So it's either Nichols really is that bad or our American receivers still need to be upgraded.

November 20, 20186 yr comment_369673 Think Bighill is fine not playing in BC and here until his kids starts school. Then I could see him wanting to play back in BC.
