Hey, I got a tinted visor and not only did it not make me faster, it caused a concussion. Granted the concussion was from running into a brick wall.

You have to install the tinted visor on a helmet before checking a wall's structural integrity.

I did. That's why I hit the wall. Tinted visor caused me not to see it.

I thought you just did it with the visor.

Coxie re-signs with TO. 

1 year @ $160k

 

That is a friendly price...

I think Coxie did very well on that.

I thought he would go at least $180k even pushing to $200k. He's a baller, young and I don't think he's hit his ceiling yet.

I think it is paying for what he can do - and he looks like he has some ability and attributes that are hard to find

I think the contract is about what he deserves - but agree on the ceiling thing.

Oh I agree about his potential. But his resume is pretty thin. He was a PR guy that had the fortune to become Kelly's favorite target when they were both backups.

I mean…bringing your starting QB’s favourite target back is value in of itself.

Oh it would be so nice to see the Argos or Sasky pay Betts over 280k. 
 

Betts is so one dimensional. A strreaky pass rush end only. Lousy against containing the run inside. sask or BC can have him & overpay. With the money we have we should be able to bring in some DL help as well as linebacker.  We need to shore up our defense.

Wow, the Stamps QB well is drying up faster than the aquifers East of the rockies.

I got curious....

In the last twenty years, the only Calgary QBs who were not first recruited into the league by the Stamps were Glenn in 2012-2013 and McManus in 2006. 

that's a pretty amazing run of homegrown QBs.

Definitely not the case. I can think of Khari Jones in 2004, and Drew Tate as at least two more.

Honestly 135k per year doesn't seem like that bad of a deal for Houston.

Would you change your mind if I told you that Nichols is making $140k?

good catch.  I thought Tate was recruited by the Stamps, but yeah he was a Roughrider originally.

Nichols is the best or top 2 dbs in the league....Houston is not...far from a top db...The fact he paid at par with Nichols is a joke

I also think Coxie did well. Not outrageous or anything but it was not a deal either.

I’d say so. 

Speaking of top DB's today is the day that the NFL option window closes. I guess Holm is officially coming back?

No. That makes the deal make more sense. Nichols is better, and didn't just sign a new contract, and is still making more.

If he doesn't get an offer I believe he is under contract.
