November 30, 2024Nov 30 comment_740079 My guess...and just a guess, is that we don't end up with either ford. Tre IMO is too raw and in a difficult position, with Fajardo, Mc Beth, Mair, Masoli, Streveler etc. potentially being available. This year QB's who have taken teams to the cup and even won it are potentially available....and not many teams will be looking for a number 1, so he is still looking to be a "bridesmaid" I think. Tyrel has shown he is patient with the NFL, I think he will have some interest, and can't blame him for trying.....I think if/when he has his sights set on the CFL his ask will be too much for us.

Yeah I think Ford may get some NFL camp looks, but I have a feeling both he and Holm will test FA either way.

Montreal if they cut Fajardo, Hamilton, Ottawa, and even Sask likely, I wouldnt be surprised if both Fords end up in Hamilton which is close to home. I do rhink we may sign Holm prior to free agency as we likely wont wait on Tyrell

Which was the worst for a big chunk of the year, and their offence got worse in every way after he came in. Id take him as at a cheap price as qb3 but not more than that. This off season is filled with guys who are gonna be settling for qb2 roles, he isn’t even the best in that group. Realistically he isn’t in the top 30 free agents.

We can do what we did with Jefferson. Hate playing against him- just sign him. He would 100% fit i here. Not only is he an amazing player... dude's a leader.

Wynton McManis earned $206,500 last season as the CFL's highest paid LB and he's now a FA, can you estimate what it will cost to employ him next season? Hint, cutting Jake Thomas is not going to create enough wiggle room to accommodate his salary.

December 1, 2024Dec 1 comment_740125 Jake and Kyrie will not be signed. Bighill has a year left. I don’t see them cutting him but I do see him in a reduced role. Perhaps in the pay cut or released category tho. Edited December 1, 2024Dec 1 by Goalie

December 1, 2024Dec 1 comment_740136 If I’m Walters moving on from guys without contracts is easy so kyrie and Jake are an easy no decision. Biggie is a tougher one cuz I honestly don’t think Jones is better than him. There really was no difference. Biggie was making and missing tackles also.

That's true, but the one year contract often serves the purpose of getting them a raise every year without having to lock in at the same rate they received the previous year.
