He said prior to season that he signed a one yr to see how it goes..and if it would be a good fit and like it here..seems to me those boxes have been checked off It’s great he is his own agent so give him fair money and you think he signs.

Little doubt Walters is going to have to make Willy the highest paid D player in the league if he wants to retain him, $250,000+, gets a bit dicey when they're already paying Bighill in that ballpark.

Actually McCallister is even more like Willy. 6'6 lean and fast, awesome inside move he made last night to get in the passing lane to knock that one down last night.
August 24, 20195 yr comment_420147 The thing about or ends..all of them can play inside..and play well there..and look how many fronts we have shown this year with al DE's..and have stuffed the run..and got pressures
August 24, 20195 yr comment_420150 If you ever get a chance to watch the team warm up, pay attention to the Dline. As others have said, Jefferson, Kongo and McAllister are like clones.

August 24, 20195 yr comment_420160 To think this defence is playing on quite a few back ups! The depth is incredible!

By the time the 1s are all healthy I am not sure they will still be 1s. when we are healthy there will be some tough decisions and sone very good players not on the game day roster. Hopefully Walters has had enough of the other GM’s BS that he has his own way of keeping these guys on our team.

Let Bighill go then. I think hes more replaceable.
August 25, 20195 yr comment_420360 If Streveler hits his stride, how about sign him long term and let Nichols go in the off-season. Could save cap space and keep both Bighill and Jefferson. I think Bighill is going to keep rounding into form.

I had always thought that if he got a chance and established himself that the bombers might do just that... but who knows.

Could save cap space and keep both Bighill and Jefferson. I think Bighill is going to keep rounding into form. But what kind of salary would Streveler command? He could ask for 350 and get it from somebody due to the sad sack state of QBing in the league right now. I'm in favour of it, but if the coaches are more comfortable with Nichols for only 100-150 more and roll with that I would not be the least bit surprised.
August 25, 20195 yr comment_420391 Keeping Strev and Woli together might supersede salary for these guys.Of course $ are king but it seems that sticking together would be an important consideration for them both.
August 25, 20195 yr comment_420407 Aside from Ottawa who really wants to move on with a new starting qb?

I don't actually disagree with this statement... I just noticed this post had 6 of the 7 possible reactions... so it seemed right to finish it off...
August 30, 20195 yr comment_421937 Bighill has not been as noticeable this year because he doesn't have to be. Our DL are swallowing up his tackles...and that's a very good thing.

Wish we'd extended Streveler at the end of last season though, because if he lights it up there will be competition for his services.
