Why Burnam over Walker? Not disagreeing with you guys- just wondering why. I think Burnham would be a better locker room/team fit. 

If there is one guy that I watch in the CFL and say I wished he played for the Bombers Burnham is the guy, he is everything a receiver should be

    I'd rather overspend on Chungh then Burnham/Walker....  

     

    Every day of the week and twice on game day. That said, I really hope we got both. I feel like we should have plenty of flexibility with a bunch of old vets getting replaced by younger cheaper guys. So long as we dont over pay to keep someone like loffler.

    So teams who spend the most money win? So.. In what sport is that true? 

    Should we bother having a season and just give the cup to the team who spends the most money? 

    Just an odd post here. 

     

    Lol.... Yankees have spent a lot ...and won a lot.  But really all I was talking about was not worrying so much about being a little over the cap this season....especially if it resulted in a cup.

    a little dramatic there goalie lol

    225k for burnham

    do it

    No way, that's Bighill sized money.  Max. I'd pay for an import receiver that maybe gets 5 touches per game is $175,000, it's not financially a high priority when there are 4 other receivers on the field to help spread the load.  Might make sense for the Esks. with Reilly chucking bombs but not so much for Nichols running a LaPo offence.  I bet no other CFL team has a RB earning in the vicinity of $225,000.

    When you put it like that it feels like Nichols is holding the team back...

    That's all well & good but the market will determine what Burnham gets paid.

    Didn't we pay Nick Moore $190k a few years back?

    I would argue Bo Levi or Reilly, if only because QB is by far the most important position in the league... as for receivers currently active, I always thought that Banks would've been a good fit in our offense.
