Josh Bourke OT

Ted Laurent DT

Craig Butler S/LB

 

All NIs, all free agents to be. Maybe we get lucky and sign one or two of them?

Bourke would be a dream. But any one of those would be a huge success, along with Drew Willy.

See now Bourke is a guy that you could justify over spending on. That being said, not sure you can overspend on easily the best non import left tackle in the CFL.

...and if you have a plan for guys like this, THIS is why you don't drop a metric **** ton of cash on a 39 year old QB...

I thought Bourke was a guard. If he plays left tackle, what would we do with January?

Move him to right tackle... he's played there before anyways.  Or relegate him to backup and start 5 NI OL.

I'd go pretty hard after Laurent, but I think he's headed to the NFL.

 

Butler lives in Vancouver...and BC's been looking for a NI safety since Tad Crawford started sucking.

How much would a guy like Bourke cost...starting QB money?

How old is Bourke....

Probably like $185,000-$200,000.

 

Nobody is really desperate for NI tackles with the way most teams are using the ratio, and he's got injury concerns.

How old is Bourke....

He's 31.

Not worth mortgaging the future for good football players.  It does not make sense imo.

Established in Montreal. Be hard to pry him out... We would have to overpay because he has roots in that city. Can't see that happening. 

How about Shea Emry? I know most people don't like him, but he would help us with the ratio if and when Henoc leaves.

Emery might be easier to get just because he's an American & MAY not live there year round.... But I'd think he'd be an untouchable.

Not an American.  From Vancouver.

Yeah, right. Thanks as I forgot. Probably also established  in Montreal.... Or Vancouver. Hard to pry Canadian CFL vets out of their cities if they have played there for a long time. have to pay significantly more. No hometown discount.

True but if we are saving money on a QB, and Henoc goes to the NFL, I imagine we'll have some cash to throw around. We need Canadian starters. By my count, if things stay the way they are, there are 6 Canadian starters from other teams that will hit free agency... Bourke, Laurent, Butler, Myddelton, Kohlert, and Emry. It would be nice to land one or more of those names.

I think we have a reasonable shot at Myddelton and Kohlert…hey, it's a start.

I wouldn't say Myddleton is a starting quality OL.  Maybe for Ottawa.

That's ok then, we can trade his ass for Glenn, although Ottawa may already have one ass too many.

 

 

(Burris - the new volley begins)

While I don't blame Hank for taking the money & running, he sure pisses off fanbases wherever he goes, doesn't he? 

Josh Bourke, for those interested. Listed as a tackle. Click on career for a run down.
