We aren't going to pay big FA money to import DTs specifically. 4 minutes ago, Bubba Zanetti said: You noticed him freezing on the sidelines during the playoffs and looking pissed too hey? Lol. Yeah but also if you see his social media he is about that warm weather life. He played College at Minnesota, grew up in Illinois (I think?). I think he is done with it.
February 7, 20223 yr comment_554486 I'm sad to be losing Darvin. My favorite current player. Comes up big when we needed it. As far as Harris goes. No tarnish to the legacy unless he ends up in Saskatchewan. I couldn't bare that. Lol Lawler at 300 k blows, but see ya later. I just noticed grant hasn't been signed and that to me would be an under the radar big loss

That would be funny if he had to play the Western Final here & it's minus 15 with a strong north wind. Stove plays in the CFL. The cold is part of the game up here. If he hates it then sign with the NFL or USFL.
February 7, 20223 yr comment_554507 Not going to bash any players who make a decision to (or are forced to) leave the Bombers. Careers are short, money is money, cold is cold, opportunities abound etc. Just happy that they delivered back to back championships and I wish them all well. I still like the ones that stay more, though. Edited February 7, 20223 yr by Wideleft
February 7, 20223 yr comment_554512 I sure a decision isnt based on cold..and going to BC you gotta figure if u playing in playoffs next yr that you will be playing 2 cold weather playoff games if u wanna hit grey cup..then a cold weather grey cup game as they likely not hosting one...

I think he likes living in generally warmer weather. I don't think he is worried about playing a few games in the cold. I think Sayles is the same way.
February 7, 20223 yr comment_554516 IF he's plugging in somewhere else...the Stove just got cold and turned off in the Peg..........
February 7, 20223 yr comment_554520 Lawler to Elks.....Ellingson to Bombers.....make it happen Walters Edited February 7, 20223 yr by Stickem
February 7, 20223 yr comment_554536 Good for K-Law. He is one of the best WRs in the league. Get paid, Dude. Thanks for your part in the 💍s
February 7, 20223 yr comment_554546 "Money, as is often the case in professional sports, is also an issue. Harris warrants a salary much higher — around $160,000 per season — than the players Winnipeg has behind him. Winnipeg has already committed to Johnny Augustine and Brady Oliveira. Oliveira’s signing, announced Monday, sealed in many people’s eyes the end of Harris’ run with the Bombers. Oliveira, also a Winnipegger, has been the starter-in-waiting behind Harris for a year now, with the torch poised to be passed on. But there is another side to the argument: the potential cost of allowing Harris to walk. For starters, his teammates want him back. There’s no doubt there has been a more vocal push by Bomber players in recent days, with some quietly voicing their displeasure over a a delay in getting a deal done with Harris. For a team that seemingly understands the importance of instilling a good culture, opting not to re-sign Harris appears to contradict that notion and leads to ruffled feathers." Be aware, him leaving is a big hole in the locker room even if you believe you can replace his play (I need to see more evidence to believe he isn't still better than the other two right now, even at 35) Edited February 7, 20223 yr by Geebrr
February 7, 20223 yr Author comment_554549 I was laughed at when I suggested that letting Harris walk would be the first domino in breaking up the team culture that they've worked so hard to build. The above article is further proof. If he's allowed to walk and there is unrest in the room....it's really really really bad for the present and the future.

The above article is further proof. If he's allowed to walk and there is unrest in the room....it's really really really bad for the present and the future. It has bothered me since it popped up. I am not cool with it. The message to the room is clear though: if we walk away from 33 we will walk away from anyone. It isn't good. 160k for him next year is an impossible number.
February 7, 20223 yr comment_554554 Players know the business side of the game tho too....this won't tear the culture apart ...the other guys didn't sign cause they thought AH was coming back..this is the crappy side of things. They know if the economics don't work...they don't work...I'm not concerned about that...it's also on Harris to realize that he can't expect 200k ...185k...any more...I hope we make it work as he is still effective...but not if it means we can't grab a reciever and resign a Darby or pick up a Moncreif

We have the leaders to pick up the slack, but it will be a different feel at camp. Just worried that things go good until they don't.
February 7, 20223 yr comment_554560 I sure the Jeff's..biggie...big Stan...Rose and BA and guys like Demski and Woli will keep the room just fine ...I still think Harris will work out a 1 yr deal ..
February 7, 20223 yr comment_554561 In that article above Hamilton confirmed what I suspected- Argos are kicking the tires on Harris. Would be s smart move by them. 1 minute ago, Booch said: I sure the Jeff's..biggie...big Stan...Rose and BA and guys like Demski and Woli will keep the room just fine ...I still think Harris will work out a 1 yr deal .. Yeah, the guy's are there, it is just your best friend moving away when you are 12.
February 8, 20223 yr Author comment_554566 I still think about a Collaros quote from when he signed and was asked about Harris and he said "I just can't imagine playing without him..." so that weighs on me....
February 8, 20223 yr comment_554571 That's kinda why I think it works out somehow Imagine Harris going from playing in front of this crowd...to home crowd in T.O...what a kick to the onions that would be
