Whether with a Hallet or someone else. Another Canadian depth guys no one talks about is Tanner Cadwallader. He had plenty of meaningful reps over the course of the season, including the GC. Cadwallader, Hallet x 2, Kolenkowski, Kramedi and others, are all Canadian guys that have sipped from the cup. Championship experience is an intangible that a lot of players don't have. And there gonna be some good value in free agency yet for depth guys

February 9, 20223 yr comment_555181 So what they doing with Adams then? Surely doesn't make sense paying starter money for 2 QB's as I sure Harris didn't sign for under 275k

Only team out there really willing to pay starter money would be bc... and they are doing... well whatever that situation is

February 9, 20223 yr comment_555185 Eli may yet be back, but Desjarlais looks to be able to stick in the NFL for at least a year. What what I've been able to garner about Dobson, he looks like he would be able to start in the CFL, but may stay in the NFL cloud for a bit. Lord knows he has the size, mobility and attitude to make an impact in the CFL.

I guess. But I'd think he would want his own team. He could fit that rpo offense well if he can get back to what he used to be.

February 9, 20223 yr Author comment_555193 I wonder if McGuire realised his situation in the league and becoming a starter just wasn't going to happen anytime soon thus why he's looking at other options
February 9, 20223 yr comment_555194 With all the players we lost today, shouldn't that have freed up some money to go out & sign some more of our free agents or others from the CFL pool available? I get we lost some guys but I figured we'd get maybe another receiver or db?? I don't know why we've sat on our hands today.

Yeah, maybe McGuire had a bit of bad luck in Montreal with the weather conditions but that was his only chance to impress & he didn't. Why do I think rookies like Bo Levi Mitchell, Michael Reilly, Tom Clements, Jeff Garcia, Tracy Ham, Dieter Brock, Doug Flutie & Matt Dunigan would have found a way to impress.

I didn't see the Harris signing until a couple of minutes ago. Yeah, crazy the money being thrown around. That salary cap must be going up, up, up... If not, a lot of teams will be handcuffed the way the Stamps & Lions were 2-3 years ago. 1 minute ago, johnzo said: remember how desperate we were to retain Henoc Muamba, 2013 Bomber MOP? ...and what a bummer it was to lose him?

I get we lost some guys but I figured we'd get maybe another receiver or db?? I don't know why we've sat on our hands today. Ive thought about this too. I mean sure weve given some raises out but think of the salary weve saved in Adams, Lawler, Harris, Darby, Stove, Jones, Desjarlais, etc. Im far too lazy to crunch the numbers but thats gotta be damn near 1 million of salary out the door? So youve given a few raises, and say $150K to Ellingson. Sure youve got to put aside some for guys like BA, but by my summer school math Walters should still have a chunk to play with. Surely enough to have brought back Harris......

Not bad for the back to back champs. we retained the MOP QB, the MODP, 7 of 9 linemen including the reigning MOOL, the national talent we did lose all had succession plans, except for Kongbo. Kicker and QB2 are my only real concerns.
