Posted February 4, 201411 yr comment_37582 Next up on the disappointment train wreck that is called the Blue Bomber Free Agent signing process, Mr. Drew Willy. You'd think he'd want starter's money and the opportunity to be the man on a CFL team wouldn't he? My prediction? He'll sign in Ottawa BTW Max Hall just sent a thank you text to the Ottawa GM LOL
February 4, 201411 yr comment_37583 My guess? Won't. You would think he would want starter's money, and a starting spot..... but maybe he just doesn't want it in Winnipeg (and that is the main factor IMHO) Fingers crossed though...
February 4, 201411 yr comment_37584 For the love of god send a pick to the Riders for Willy and get him signed!!!
February 4, 201411 yr comment_37593 Willy's agent can now ask for $250k plus from the bombers... just because we're the 'only starting spot' doesn't necessarily mean anyone will sign here. 'Starting spot' can quickly deteriorate to 'end of career'. Trade for Joey, at least, he knows what he's up against.
February 4, 201411 yr comment_37602 I have full confidence that we'll find a way to not get this done.
February 4, 201411 yr comment_37610 Is there a plan D? As in D for Drew Willy? Why do I think it won't happen either?
February 4, 201411 yr comment_37618 I think what is becoming very apparent it that if the Bombers want to sign FA's one thing has to happen: OVERPAY. Players don't want to come here it seems, and the only way to overcome that is to pay more money.
February 4, 201411 yr comment_37639 Maybe when it all shakes down we finally get a break and the last guy available was the best choice. Its about time we get some luck.

February 4, 201411 yr comment_37648 Willy is plan C ... wondering who plan D is? I know I was joking.
February 4, 201411 yr comment_37649 Wont. Unless his desire to start is foremost in his mind. But if Im Willy, I say "$300,000 or dont bother calling me". Bombers are now desperate as much as I hate to say it. Sure, Glenn likely becomes available but Ottawa is going to get sneaky and try to get our first round pick for him. Walters wont do that but ultimately, if we cant sign a player, we will have to trade for one under contract. If Glenn and Marcel dont get along, oh boy. We're scraping the barrel here. Max Hall is looking pretty good right now.
February 4, 201411 yr comment_37653 Willy is not worth 300K. I don't care if he's the last man standing.

February 4, 201411 yr comment_37782 Willy is not worth 300K. I don't care if he's the last man standing. Well then, what? You tell us. Stay the course. Play Hall? Re-up Goltz??? The optimists can say what they want that this is February but bottom line this team is in huge trouble... And I don't mean just on the field. They have to start paying back that huge stadium loan this year. If fans stay away... well the scenario is dire.

Something bad happens, therefore we should over-react to it. I may be sad/unhappy/let down, that Burris and Collaros didn't sign here, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna run around like a chicken with it's head cut off in a panicked state throwing money at some QB who hasn't proven himself. You gotta keep your head on and keep playing the game, otherwise you're giving everyone the upper hand and all we're going to end up with is even more garbage then last year.

February 4, 201411 yr comment_37869 Willy is not worth 300K. I don't care if he's the last man standing. He's worth what Collaros got IMO. He has similar numbers (about 150 fewer throws), a better arm and throwing mechanics. Much rather overpay Willy than Burris or Glenn.
February 4, 201411 yr comment_37941 When the cap goes from $4.4 million to $5 million this season, they can.
