Now Jennings off the market. Are the Riders actually going to roll with Collaros? Dear lord.

The Riders are ALL IN....on Collaros. LMAO. They have turned like rabid dogs on O'Day over on Riderfans. Love it.

Never doubt the plan.  Ever.

They were smoking crack if they thought BLM was ever going to go there. BLM played them like a fiddle to get Huffer to quit sitting on his wallet.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but the Esks re-upped Bond yesterday. 

 

I'm surprised I'm saying this, but I kind of feel bad for the Riders. 

Wallowing around without a QB for years is exactly what made us unwatchable all those years and that's exactly where they are right now. They're truly truly f^#*@d

Jonesy leaving town has absolutely destroyed the Riders' 2019 aspirations... And perhaps longer.

You all are being way too harsh. After all, when God is with the Riders, who can doubt their success?

Much of this was inevitable. Jones saw this coming and bailed before he had to deal with the shitstorm he created through being an incompetent GM.

To anyone outside of the rectangle province, yes.

Their best option is to get Lulay or Glenn but O'Day wants to put all his eggs on Collaros basket

Lulay and Glenn are way done,  Collaros is sadly their only hope. 

 

So Popp says they outbid the Stamps by as much as 500k over 4 years (for BLM) but he chose to stay home. What this tells me, is that Toronto was the other team and not the Riders... They were never a serious consideration for BLM.

I would like to think that BLM has no NFL offers from the NFL, and since he has no NFL leverage he's real intention is to comeback to the Stamps.
He just used the Riders and Argos so Huff would pony up the $$$.

Edited February 13, 20196 yr by M.O.A.B.

Thing is...The Riders will be in this hole now for several years as all the quality starters are locked up...so unless they can un-earth a real gem (won't happen) they have to trade for a second teir guys and most likely have to give up something significant for it, as why would a team help you out for nothing?

They can spin things any way they want out there, but they have had to settle since Joes left for their coaches, and now QB and possible lose other key guys..I can't see Roosevalt wanting to re-up there to get set up to be pummeled like last year from poor QB play, and I wouldn't be shocked to see Tobi Anighua leave and follow his buddy here, or head up to CGY

Yikes. And then his reply in the thread... "Sustained success?"

Rob is the new Rod

@CFLonTSN

MONEY ON THE TABLE: GM Jim Popp told @TSN1050Radio the four-year deal #Argos offered Bo Levi Mitchell was nearly $500K more than the one he took with #stampeders. Annual salary would have pushed past $800K. #CFL

And sadly Collaros basket is about as strong as an egg....

No, no, no, not the old plan, that one sucked.  Do not doubt the new plan, the O'Day - Dickerson plan, it's the best plan ever.  They're going to ride the Collaros train all the way to the unemployment line Grey Cup!

@saraorlesky After playing in BC last season, sounds like WR Cory Watson could be headed to the #Riders. Watson spent the first 8 years of his career playing in Wpg and Edmonton. #CFL

If he sits near the court, according to the TBurg scale of interest, they may pull ahead in the Walker "sweepstakes".
