Or.. Walters had some cap space and didn’t anticipate any of the NFL guys coming back this season so they decided to get one more weapon for Zack. I wouldn’t put too much into it being bad news about Ellingson. 

Yeah, 17to85 and I were just talking about this.... Walters maybe just loading up. It's the kind of long-cock move that Walters loves to pull on the rest of the league. Just drop a bag of **** you on everyone's doorstep.

always figured Lawler was gonna bolt for 1 yr then be back here...almost happened sooner than expected with a trade, but still think he re-ups here next yr

I think he comes back for around 200k

You said a few weeks back there was a big deal in the works was it this.

That's interesting and he's a great receiver who would of helped a lot especially if Duke is out for the rest of the year, but the way he left and some of the chatter on the way out kinda still bugs me

Who? What?

Heard a receiver but thought was just talk...The Darby one tho was what I got tipped on...also think that why we used Wilcotts a lot too against Sask...kind of a showing off the talent for the Cats to see...he is on their roster tomorrow as well I believe

Stanback is a real game changer

Ellingson, just some of his comments when he signed with the Elks about the Bombers not ponying up  having more to do in Edmonton being one of the reason he signed there.

V sensitive 

He didn’t really say anything that bad

Jesus... 

Lawler, Ellingson, Schoen, Demski, and BOLO... that would have been a ridiculously scary receiving core...

Also tells you Edmonton really has no expectation of him coming back next year.

Like @Boochsaid, he is probably tired of having to make dangerous acrobatic catches all game 😂

well and Woogie and Sheed.....Christ almighty.

Why does Ellingson have to be injured for an extended length of time for us being interested in Lawler?

I agree a Lawler move was more Walters doing this to the rest of the CFL. Credit @Noeller for saying it first.

Jesus.... can you imagine? I wonder if that means Ellingson is out long term?

so just a bit of back story.... and this is actually kind of insane to think about in retrospect, but do you guys remember the year we grabbed Big Stan in FA? We were actually trying to get Sir Vincent Rogers (yikes...) and missed on that, so they went out and got Bryant, who of course, is even better. And I'd been running around doing stuff that day, and 17to85 sends me a text "Kyle Walters just long cocked everyone in the league..." and we've been laughing about that ever since. I feel like Walters does this a lot. Just the best GM in the league...

So, I recall these events differently.

As I remember it, we signed Bryant immediately. And we were ALSO trying to get Sir Vince.

Same long cock attitude, of course.

Yes..that's how I remember it too. We wa Ted SVR at RT

Ahhhh maybe that's what it was... But ya... Walters has zero f***s to give the rest of the league. 

Edited October 7, 20223 yr by Noeller

Yeah Bryant was rumored to be heading here and was if I remember correctly one of the 1st FA to sign  a contract that day.
