Roosevelt?

I think he was dinged and teams are shying away.....Riders need someone to throw to besides the sidelines

Roosevelt on a contract that doesn't have a huge up front pay would be a great signing.   The guy *if* healthy is a great receiver.

Thanks.  I've muttered his name more than a few times over the last couple years.

Is there any other receivers out there besides Derrel Walker....could we....should we...c'mon Kyle

Walters crapped the bed on receivers. I can’t see Winnipeg competing in the West without greatly improving their receivers and special teams returners.

Well we could just recruit some...

Glug,glug,glug

I'd be more than happy to bring in a guy like Chris Matthews....

This hadnt really crosses my mind. Doesn’t have the break out speed of a walker however he is quite sure handed and shows up to play 

Walker Matthews still available. Somoni Lawerence still out there? Not that I want him, but thought he'd be scooped by now.

Well he has to play somewhere and Bombers would be a good landing spot for him.

That's an absurd overpay for Ellingson.

Eskies sure are banking on (i.e., paying for) the Harris/Ellingson chemistry.

Wally must be losing his fkn mind with all the cash Hervey is throwing around... ha - to a bunch of 'old' guys yet...

Hervey has placed his neck squarely on the chopping block. If the Lions stumble coming out of the gate and continue, he will be given the axe before Labour Day.

Of the big 3 "name" receivers (Chris Williams, Derel Walker, Namaan Roosevelt) still out there, each has his drawbacks, but I see the best upside with Walker. Has been beat up the last 2 years, so injury risk is there, but he is head and shoulders above the other 2 IMO. Williams is 3 years removed from his last impact year, even his return numbers are down, but if we are in need of a return threat he might fit the bill if cheap enough. Roosevelt I don't mind taking a chance on, again if he comes cheaper than the other 2. All depends on how he has recovered.

Any chance Chris Rainey could be converted from RB to receiver? With all of the Lions signings and Jeremiah Johnson and Tyrell Sutton there now (although both of them unsigned too) he would seem to be in need of a home, and he would give us a threat at kick returner we haven't had in a long time.

If both Matthews and Adams are healthy, where do you line them up?  Put em both at wideout, move one to the slot?

Mathews can play slot...has a lot actually

Don’t even bring up ‘Cindy’ Williams name please.

I'd be disappointed if a team about "character" guys gave money to Rainey.  But I'm prob in the minority there.  Kareem Hunt is back in the NFL after all...

In terms of value signings...

Courtney Stephen and Terrell Sinkfield would help this team

I'd still give a bonus laden contract to Namaan Roosevelt...  I don't think he's finished at all...  or maybe Manny...

Bond - I'd still take him over Foketi in a heartbeat

And of course Nevis...

Lots of talent still out there
