Too much Rider stink on Jefferson for my liking. That was a team full of individuals and he was part of it. 

I agree...that team was all about the individual...and wonder how he would fit in..that being said..we have a strong locker room and headcoach...so I think that alone would allow him to fall in line..I bet in that situation he would be even better

Interesting about Jefferson. But call me skeptical the bombers have enough $ to sign him and a big name Rec. 

I'm wondering if the FA receivers are waiting to see how the QB situation plays out before they sign. Burnham would have a big year if he lands on the same team as Reilly or Bo.

I don't think money is an issue with us right now...we shed a lot, and also unlike most teams don't have the unknown floating around on what we need to keep for a starting QB..There are 4 teams alone right now that don't have that position and SMS hit confirmed at the moment...whereas we do and can make best offers at whomever we target

    Yup- I think our locker room and team culture would enable Jefferson to thrive.

    They gave up on a team leader like Chris Randle to go after a guy like Jefferson???  I don't get this direction, Jefferson is a mercenary, here next year gone the next.

    I can't believe I'm saying this but if it wins me a Grey Cup this coming season, I'll take that for 200 dollars Alex. 1000 years without a Grey Cup makes one thirsty.

    Good point. I do wish Randal was still in blue and gold.

    I guess I would chalk that up to the fact we seem to be able to find db talent and easily go cheaper. 

    As much as I love randle- I would say that WJ's a freak and a game changer.

    Two years in Edmonton then NFL... and three years in Sask...  that's mercenary now?  

    Jefferson, Jeffcoat and Bighill are the three key elements to a Richie Hall D - he only ever finds success with over-the-top all-star DEs and MLB...  (I mean so would every other DC though ha)
