January 29, 201510 yr comment_105134 WOW! What was Taman thinking? @CFL_News: #Riders Chris Getzlaf had been #CFL's highest-paid WR, earning about $225K, prior to Green taking #1 spot...via @HerbZurkowsky1 #Alouettes I read this on twitter this morning too... this one blew my mind.... Getzlaf is good, yes... but that is a ludicrous amount of money to spend on a 3rd rec... Well .. let's be honest here .. cap management has never been Taman's strong point .. can't see how this is going to help that perception .. Insane amount of money for Getzlaf.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105161 Sounds like Watson's 'Cost / Benefit Analysis' didn't go well this off season.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105167 Sounds like Watson's 'Cost / Benefit Analysis' didn't go well this off season. Doug Brown tweeted that Watson asked to be traded so the cost/benefit may not have been the main reason he's gone (I'm sure it played a part in it though). Doug Brown ✔ @DougBrown97 My understanding is that Watson asked 2 B traded back East 2 B closer 2 his family in Montreal.....Someone grab me a map of the provinces.

Probably didn't ask to be traded .. rather .. he was likely told he was being shopped and asked his preference .. Watson indicated that he'd want to go back East ..

The fact that before yesterday that Getzlaf was the league's highest paid receiver is a joke.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105228 People might have said the same when Fantz left the Riders to become the highest paid NIP. There are those that would argue that you have to overpay the NIPs and go find the IMPs that you can underpay. The rule of supply and demand will become more prevalent with 9 teams and a shortage of NIPs

January 29, 201510 yr comment_105268 Fantuz had a legit (although slim) chance of making an NFL squad. Getzlaf would get laughed off the field. The patience the Riders have shown him is enough; 225K is lunacy.

January 29, 201510 yr comment_105283 Not many Canadian receivers going over 1000 yards these days and Getzlaf has done it a couple times. It's all supply and demand. Where are the good Canadian receivers? Few and far between.

Where are the good Canadian receivers? Few and far between. Come on man. Getzlaf at that price is asinine. He hasn't shown to be a 150k guy in a awhile.. Let alone 200k..

Where are the good Canadian receivers? Few and far between. Come on man. Getzlaf at that price is asinine. He hasn't shown to be a 150k guy in a awhile.. Let alone 200k.. I'm not saying he is worth it. I'm just saying you can't look at it in a vacuum. What does a 150k Canadian receiver look like? That's Cory Watson's salary and Getzlaf has been far and away better than Watson every single year. What does one expect from a 150k Canadian receiver? All Canadian starters are making six figures and Getzlaf is at worst a top 3 Canadian receiver in the league. Top 3 Canadians at any position are pulling in 200k+.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105291 Meh. I dunno, you still have to earn your keep. I dont believe watson did (to a much lesser extent) or getzlaf.. Getzlaf seems to be a huge bust at his salary.
January 29, 201510 yr comment_105293 Edmonton Eskimos @EdmontonEsks 1m1 minute ago BREAKING: The #Esks announce the release of national OL Matt O’Donnell Wonder if its for a NFL shot or if the realize they wont be signing him.

Details--> http://ow.ly/IbgQN #ROAR @CFL That's a lot of decent NI receivers in Vancouver. I wouldn't mind if the Bombers convinced Buono to solve his surplus by sending us Ianuzzi. Stick that little burner over on the wide side of the field. Sadly, with Buono the price always seems to be too high. Maybe we can hire Korey Banks to life-coach Ianuzzi for a while. Buono will send him packing in no time.

January 29, 201510 yr comment_105296 Also wonder if earnest Jackson has told the Lions he's going to move on. No reason but just thinking out loud really.

January 29, 201510 yr comment_105303 Was playing some great football down the stretch last year. At 6'11 is the reason he gets so many chances.
January 30, 201510 yr comment_105329 That was one long retirement tour of Europe. Welcome back A.C. Receivers coach tho?
January 30, 201510 yr comment_105330 That was one long retirement tour of Europe. Welcome back A.C. Receivers coach tho? I guess similar to Buck being the RB coach.
January 30, 201510 yr comment_105341 Was playing some great football down the stretch last year. At 6'11 is the reason he gets so many chances. We should keep an eye on him- he will be back.
