Posted January 31, 201411 yr comment_37003 You know, that feeling we had with Brian Clark, Richard Karikari, Greg Carr, and Marcellus Bowman where we were given every reason to believe a signing was coming soon and time kept on dragging on and on with new news until a press release came out from a different team saying they had signed the player in question? Not that losing out on Henry would be a crushing blow with Willy still due to hit free agency, but it would still suck in terms of optics for the same thing to repeat itself.
January 31, 201411 yr comment_37004 Yeah, even though it isn't logical I feel as if we're going to get swerved and he'll end up in Montreal or something.
January 31, 201411 yr comment_37006 I wish I had an optimistic feeling like that. All I have is this sinking feeling that we'll be reading an announcement about how happy Walters is to welcome Burris to Winnipeg.
January 31, 201411 yr comment_37007 @garylawless: final thought on burris, have to believe agent is testing walters. rookie gm. find out how he handles the sweat. how many HOFs on market?
January 31, 201411 yr comment_37014 If Hank goes to Montreal with Troy Smith there or Ottawa with Glenn then we will know exactly just how badly this organization is viewed by others. Maybe the Bombers & Cleveland Browns can break off from their leagues & form a brand new one of their own, Just the 2 of them.

Maybe the Bombers & Cleveland Browns can break off from their leagues & form a brand new one of their own, Just the 2 of them. True but I just can't see that happening. Burris said in an interview a couple days ago that he'd love to play for the Bombers. I'm pretty sure it's now all about getting the most money as this is Henry's last contract.
January 31, 201411 yr comment_37019 Well, enough people, round this league have already filled me in.....to how badly this organization is viewed by others....and it is not a edifying sight.... At this stage, we really have to sign Burris, who would provide a creditable option at QB, short term.....and buy the new management some time....to bring in the next young hope, or two. Selling Hall and "somebody or other" as the options, going into this year, would create some pretty scorched earth, round this fanbase....
February 1, 201411 yr Author comment_37026 Montreal. Zurkowski said the Als would be trying for him as well.
February 1, 201411 yr comment_37029 Korey Banks was on H & L this afternoon and said Burris would be a Bomber. Lawless asked if him if that was just a guess or if he knew something the rest of us didn't, and he said it was "much more than a guess". He also said he doesn't sign the contracts, but would put money on Burris becoming a Bomber. Apparently they're good friends, so it seems as though they've been talking...

Maybe the Bombers & Cleveland Browns can break off from their leagues & form a brand new one of their own, Just the 2 of them. Even in that 2 team league I can't see either team winning. All they'd hand out at the end of the year is those colourful participation ribbons kids get for science fairs.
February 1, 201411 yr comment_37036 The longer this goes on, I think the worse our odds are. And Willy is not a gimme either.
February 1, 201411 yr comment_37038 He's got nowhere else to go. If for some crazy reason he opts to go to Montreal, I will quite literally laugh out loud - they will continually talk of replacing him with Smith AND if I were Montreal I'd rather spend time developing Smith some more.
February 1, 201411 yr comment_37039 If Montreal were to sign him then Nieswander would be a very solid guy to go after.
February 1, 201411 yr comment_37040 The Bombers don't make announcements until a contract gets the official okey-dokey from the League. Plus they likely want Burris here for a press conference. Lots of reasons why nothing has been announced yet.
February 1, 201411 yr comment_37052 I've think that it's 4 years for Henry with the option that if Hank shows up, it's back to 2+1.
