February 6, 201411 yr comment_38565 With the moves they have made in the last week I am almost guarantee that Kohlert has a contract already drawn up with the Bombers ready for his signature. I think they are banking on Kohlert.
February 6, 201411 yr comment_38566 Etienne was a stiff,imo. Good deal for WPG. Gets rid of some of the stink.
February 6, 201411 yr comment_38567 it's FA rights for FA rights correct? so if you don't think you're going to extend Jay Detain that's fine, but man if he goes to the riders and plays well there will be questions asked. More like questions being asked if we just lost Etienne for nothing and he played well elsewhere, don't you think?
February 6, 201411 yr comment_38568 Since his contract was extended, does that mean that it remains the same as it was? As in, we'd be paying him what Sask was paying him to be their number 2? No, it's essentially a new contract but it's deemed an extension because technically, his existing contract was overwritten seen as how it didn't expire until Monday. Makes sense, thanks. I'm curious to know what we're paying him, I imagine it is substantially less than both Collaros and Burris are getting. Also wondering how long before Sask announces an extension for Etienne. Would be funny if he hit free agency anyway.
February 6, 201411 yr comment_38569 Slick Willy will make the opposition choke. Or something **** related.
February 6, 201411 yr comment_38572 I would have thought Etienne would be signed by Sask as soon as the trade went through.... Who knows, maybe Jade comes back too LOL.

Would be funny if he hit free agency anyway. That would be pretty sweet yup.. Wonder if theres a conditional pick somewhere in there in regards to that... I really wouldnt mind terribly if we pulled the wool over tamans eyes on this tho..
February 6, 201411 yr comment_38575 Willy has been freed. Jade is going home. I guess we weren't prepared to get burned again and I hope Willy makes Collaros look bad in 14'. Good work Walters.
February 6, 201411 yr comment_38576 Hopefully we can look back at today was the day the franchise turned things around.
February 6, 201411 yr comment_38577 Oh and what about nobody wanting to come to winnipeg again? Would sure be a bit of a air bag deflator if we do land rory or jade back in FA to that crowd.
February 6, 201411 yr comment_38578 Hopefully we can look back at today was the day the franchise turned things around. As long as we dont heap too much pressure on our poor willy..
February 6, 201411 yr comment_38580 True will take some gradual improvement this year. Just get better as the season goes on.
February 6, 201411 yr comment_38581 Willy's the QB I wanted most, so very happy about this. There is also a pretty awesome side effect though... Ottawa's gotta have $850k tied up at the QB position. As much as Desjardins is publicly stating he's bringing all of that ass to showbiz... there's no way it makes it to camp. Ottawa's price tag for Glenn just dropped.
February 6, 201411 yr comment_38582 If Ettiene wanted to play here.. or we determined to play her, then why didn't he resign last year or earlier this year? If one of your FA hasn't resigned yet this close to FA, either the club didn't want him, the FA didn't want to move or they didn't agree on money and he was going to FA... Not excited about willy... We now have another Backup on the team.. I don't think willy has shown any more then Hall given that Willy played behind a championship oline and offence... Hall, not so much.
February 6, 201411 yr comment_38583 With our O-line, our Willy will just be flaccid and limp(ing) off the field.

Danny McManus disagrees with you. He might know a little something, something about quarterbacks.

Always think.the worst, never get disappointed? Must be a dark place you live in..
February 6, 201411 yr comment_38588 OH I am so happy. This is excellent news. I like the trade as well. Let Big Willy run free throughout IGF and let us all bask in his glory.
February 6, 201411 yr comment_38590 @sportscage: Very sad to see @Drew_Willy go but Bombers got a good one. He's ready to be a star.

The league should never let any new QB's in, they all must be part of the "starter" club. Willy has the same numbers Mike Reilly did heading into last off-season, and has thrown twice as many passes as Reilly had at that point.
February 6, 201411 yr Author comment_38592 Bombers got the best out of any of the QBs available this off-season, and for the cheapest All hail Kyle Walters IWWT
