Awesome! He was by far the best free agent receiver left. I feel good going into the season with Ellingson, Bailey, Woli, and Demski, I still think Bailey is going to break out this up and coming season like Lawler did last season. 

Interestingly it isn't the first time he's played with Zach.  

should have some kind of rapport then...I actually think even with loss of Lawler, just based on what we have now we most likely see more production yardage wise from this unit...

If i was playing season long fantasy Id be targeting Bailey and Demski for year over year growth.

 

 

I just hope they come to a number with Janarion,I wonder if the numbers are more difficult because they're looking at now giving him dual roles as receiver and returner? We definitely need the guy to blow the top off and Grant can do it.

Its funny there has not been one rumour about him this whole FA process

Redblacks will be a much improved team this year,thank you for everything,Darvin!

yup....DA was a key guy for our turn around...be missed in more ways than one thats for sure...but we need to reload.....nature of the beast

 

 

Riderfans, whose 260k man is one of the slowest receivers in the league, are suggesting that we need to time our receiving corps with a sun dial. Ellingson could run circles around Duke.

Younger than Ellingson 

I somehow don't think we are done for receivers. I just have a gut feeling that we may bring back Bryant Mitchell. Not basing it on anything though.

My only concern now is who do we replace Bob Irving with?!?

Darvin came in with not that much production one of those fringe signings and man did he produce even through some bad quarterback play.

but production wise, Ellingson isnt trending down, and isnt as brittle.....wont play the role Darvin did so should also stay healthy....I love DA btw..

I gotta credit to Mike for calling Adams signing out back in the day. I remember him saying he hoped the Bombers picked him up from TO. I had no idea who he was and was skeptical, but it turned out pretty good. Darvin is legit one of my all time favorite players, I love the edge he constantly played on.

Will miss Darvin. Great leader and reliable receiver. Amazing how similar his stats are compared with Ellingson - except for YAC where Ellingson is exceptional.

Best of luck to Darvin in Ottawa.

Exactly Ellingson was on about a 1200 yard pace for the season with 5 straight 1000 yard plus seasons before that. We got a good one. 

Ellingson is a guy who gives his all every play. Big YAC guy.

Is he good?

Lawler will be a loss but 300k means you better put up big numbers early
