Schoen had to re-sign with the Bombers, after all the merchandise his father bought from the Bomber Store.

Consider Schoen probably turned down an extra $30-$50k just so his parents wouldn't have to open a road map.  What a great son!

And Sask got Thurman, Hardrick, and Ouelette  for that. 

I truly want Sheed to get more opportunity and money - but man would I hate seeing him somewhere else. 

I think he really likes it here bleeds Blue and Gold and even a bump of 5-10k would bring him back, at least I hope so

If you think a bellcow averaging 6 yards a carry is similar to a bunch of guys who do it way less often for considerably less production is “similar”, you’re lost. Beyond lost.

If you can do 5.6-6.0 for 170 carries a year you can do it for 250

I agree too and as much as I’d love to see Bailey back, I also want to see him make his money and go somewhere he can be a second option. He’s capable enough to do it, I just don’t think we can give him what he deserves.

Losing Hardrick and Bailey feels like losing two majestic warriors, it hurts big time. They've embodied the truest spirit of Blue Bomber football. I wish them absolute success on their new path (at least monetarily 😉)

Schoen has said all along this is where he wants to be. Today he put his money where his mouth is. I thought it would take Lawler money to bring him back and I don't think many people felt it would be 230k

Big time. hes the best WR to hit FA in a while, and the top guy the last few years has gotten crazy pay days. lawler, schoen, and demski could all easily go over 1k receiving this year.

Actually for 538K they got Thurman...Edwards cooper and Hardrick....Just shy of what we paid for the Best RB...One the top 3 receivers, and most likely the best backup QB....and likely another 170k min for Oullette....so thats over 700k....Who got value for prime meat...and who overpayed for choice cuts???...lol

Hope so. What we saved on Schoen went to Brady, so I am not that upset with BOs contract any.ore.

It'll be amazing if Schoen outperforms the top paid receivers for the 3rd straight season.

I was being conservative....but I agree....and it will be even more funny....They got right gouged for decent players....but not top teir by any means save for maybe Oullette....but guess we will see what he does behind that Oline....tho over on their site I sure they figure to be making out like gang busters...

For a good laugh visit Riderfans and read the post where they mock the Bombers for what we are paying Zach, BO, Schoen and Lawler. 

 

Brady and Dalton back and on the same day. I saw this like an hour ago and passed out from joy.

I took a little trip over there myself and I thought it was very touching that they were worried about what the Bombers were spending.😁

I'm sure they're scratching their heads over why we're investing in our homegrown CFL All-stars instead of throwing money at washed-up free agents with disreputable character. That's how you build an 8-10 team!

Considering they’re making everyone the top paid at their position that’s a little rich. Only in their wildest dreams could they imagine getting Schoen for 230

Drew Richmond retired 😂

 

RT just got a little more interesting, can you sign Gray and can he play there with Eli or Dobson at LG or do you try to find a vet with RT experience, or do you bring in few Americans and let them battle it out.

Eli I dont think has ever played tackle...nor do I think he suited for it...U want your big nasty brawlers inside as well...where they can do most damage

Pretty sure Eli got reps last year inside, not out on the edge.

Harris, 480k. Aj 200k probably. Hardrick 230k plus the signing bonus of 120. Bane 182k plus 12k bonus. 
 

zach 600. Brady 240. Bryant 190k. Dalton 230. 1.26m vs 1.09m before bonuses. 1.15+ with bonuses for the year. Yes, we have lawler at big money. No regrets. Our group is easily twice as good as their group for 15-20% more. Plus they are out spending like drunken sailors on other guys once again. 
 

costs Ferrari money to own a Ferrari. The riders are paying base model / year old Ferrari money for a Honda minivan.

There’s no plus the bonus. The bonus is always just a portion. Hardrick isn’t getting paid 230 plus 120.

For all the press team know he could still be at camp! 
 

richmond, that sucks. Next man up. Gray is the only ni with a chance of playing T here. Vanterpool would be the favourite rn, but I expect we will see a flood of more imps brought in now. 
 We’ve done very well with other teams reclamation ol. Bond and hardrick were both off casts. I would not at all be surprised to see us bring in a similar back up imp from around the league. Maybe even bring back one of our former pr guys who’ve been around the league. 
 We had a couple tackles on the pr last year with high upside wouldn’t be surprised if one or more corn back. 
 

If machino resigns I’m gonna be scared all off season lol.

Maybe, won’t know better till later in the off season the bonus money counts against their bonus cap this year either way

So Geoff Gray just earned more money 😂
