Just wanted to point out how perilous the situation is in CowTown right now. Most of their top players are hitting FA, and are rumored to be doing so with the intention of leaving. Take Orimolade, Lemon, Thurman, Jorden, etc out of that lineup and that is a crap load of talent walking out the door. 

Also, just noticed Mack Henry is a pending FA. I'd take him if the price was right and pending a physical and work out.

I was thinking about this today too, there's a lot of big names leaving.

Just straight up arrogance on DD's part thinking he can recruit replacements?

or is this a protest over how Bo Levi Mitchell was handled? 

I dunno either way looks good on them.

Nah, Dave Dickenson has never come across as arrogant...

Personally, I think taking on the GM role is going to be daunting for him.

An example of the "peter principle"?

Imitation is said to be the sincerest form of flattery.

 

                                        

 

Would Micah or Big Ted take discount deals to play here cuz they would probably have to turn down more money elsewhere

I actually thought the riders would get him back. He's the 1 rec that would actually work well with Harris. He is basically only a YAC guy. But no, they go get a guy who is only a deep ball threat...lol.

Jones really getting the band back together but still no QB....

Moore is a great value play.  2nd year off ACL.

Edmonton building the right kind of core around Cornelius.  He's a quick game guy, not going to sit in pocket and make reads.

Great, now we have to endure "but Kyran Moore" from Rider fans for the entire season instead of just between injuries.

I think his is the best of Edmontons ex-Rider signings. Moore is a very decent WR2/3. 

 

Interesting. If Walters was willing to let him walk, I'm sure they have a plan for DT, which is our only real hole at this point... 

When I was at GC 2021 his buddy (a giant dude in a Sayles jersey) was in the bathroom at the same time and I heard him saying to another guy that Tiger Cat fans were buying him free drinks all night before because they thought he was Sayles. 
 

Anyway, Hamilton is close to home, not surprised. 

I like Sayles but $200,000 per year is an overpay.

Good. It means they have no choice but to bring in a big fat monster nose tackle.

Hamilton’s made some goofy moves over the last year or so. 

Sayles made the odd good play, but nothing that would make him a priority for the Bombers to retain. Sempre avanti!

 

Wonder when Hamilton realizes they are paying BLM over 500,000 and that they should get him some receivers?

Seems to be the order of the day. I love sayles he had a really under appreciated year for us. But the fit isn’t there. Not with our ni rotation at dt beside him. we need a nose. I’m happy for sayles getting paid and he’s gonna fit in really well in Hamilton. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a huge year. 

If 200k is true for Sayles that's F N crazy, I'm sorry he is a good player but that's 50k + to rich

At minimum.... He is a very generic, non descript DT.... 

200k for Sayles might end up being the worst move of the entire off season. Wow I can’t believe Hamilton is throwing that kind of money at him.
