Rider, Stamps, Als, RedBlacks and Argos are keep hammering away with their FA list. 

Oh and Walters have some calls with the Wpg media guys. Finally awake. 😁

Just the bare facts...as we’ve expected, but said out loud.

yeah weve seen a lot of flash in the pan qb's falter after defenses adjust to them. Fajardo and adams will both have to deal with that. 

I have a very strong feeling that Fajardo will get "figured out" and become yesterdays news.

I am relishing the thought of ridernation eating it's own in a war of "is Fajardo Done".

*Drools* I can hear the snipping comments, gnashing of teeth and watermelons exploding... This is what Christmas feels like...

What pipe dream world do you live in where they have teeth?

Sorry, gnashing of tooth.

We will have some roster turnover for sure. 32 FAs and a reduced SMS kind of seal that deal. Lots of guys on the lower echelon of the pay scale may choose to move on from football and just find jobs down South. The good news is that the upper echelon players will likely begrudgingly take the shave. In my estimation, the new spending policy will just make it really tough on recruitment as well. Losing Rigmaiden couldn't have come at a worse time for us. We may need to shave some luxury items off our list like the extra NAT OLs and a NAT receiver, and carrying 3 KRs is probably something we won't be doing this year either. Some hard decisions on a couple vets are likely as well. Pat Neufeld immediately comes to mind...

SMS hasn't been reduced, but most teams will just spend to the SMS floor....

Als doesn't seem to have problem signing their free-agents. Just saying.

Think Walters said yesterday they were going to spend 500,00 to 600,000 less this year.

They're 10-8 in 2019 2nd in the East. We're 11-7. Not much of a difference.

on top of the fact that WE'RE THE ******* CHAMPS (!!!!!!) they also played in the absolute JOKE that is the East Div. Their record means next to nothing...

Sounds like Walters is going to have to get creative to keep the players they want together, that cap hair cut is pretty severe but other teams are probably in the same boat, Walters and the rest will figure it out.

what is the relevance of resigning pending 2021 FAs with winning GC in 2019?

The guys we are re-signing have won a cup more recently than anyone they are re-signing?

Jesus christ, are we really getting to the off-season time of "why isn't Walter's doing anything?"

We all know teams have till Feb 2021 right?

Edited December 18, 20205 yr by Bigblue204

I love that someone is actually sour right now. By gar, it's good to be back into it......

I'm a little concerned we haven't signed anyone yet but nowhere near panic mode. Just wondering when an announcement will come. Walters needs to throw us a bone.

It's Walters guys. He works hard. I'm not worried

We were 14 - 7, they were 10 - 9.

That's a huge difference, sir.

We had a pretty average season. 3rd in the West. 4th overall. The difference last year is that we had a great playoff run.

The east is a weaker division, but that only gets the eastern teams 2 extra games against the weaker teams and you can't exactly call BC a strong team last year.

I would argue that the Bombers had a slump during the season and were pretty damned good other than that.

The win/loss record speaks for itself. All teams went through slumps. All teams had injury issues. Hamilton had to replace their starting QB before we did. They got 1st in the east. Regina had to replace their starting QB before we did. They got 1st in the West. 4th in a 9 team league is pretty much the definition of average.
