September 3, 20159 yr comment_148207 When Desjardins is fired, no doubt one of the reasons will be his inability to manage the team finances under the cap. IÂ mean, this guy just throws money at players he wants. No other team can do this.

IÂ mean, this guy just throws money at players he wants. No other team can do this. Â I can understand DesJardins needing to field a competitive team in short order after the previous incarnations in Ottawa, but it looks like there is no limit on his budget.

Â There's no way that they don't have the space for Lemon. Â They will have some tough decisions in the next couple off-seasons though.
September 3, 20159 yr comment_148223 Letting Chevy and his $100k+ go before Labour Day probably helped the Redblacks in signing Lemon.
September 3, 20159 yr comment_148337 Amazing how Desjardins always has the money to sign FA's. Every ******* time. If I'm not mistaken, we've signed more than a few FA's in the past year too, so...
September 3, 20159 yr Author comment_148339 I wonder why there's no official announcement from the RedBlacks yet regrading Shawn Lemon's signing.
September 3, 20159 yr comment_148381 I wonder why there's no official announcement from the RedBlacks yet regrading Shawn Lemon's signing. Maybe waiting until he actually signs although the RedBlacks did announce they had agreed to terms.
September 3, 20159 yr comment_148382 I wonder why there's no official announcement from the RedBlacks yet regrading Shawn Lemon's signing. Â Verbal agreement with Lemon ,, probably just waiting until the I's are dotted and T's crossed.

Â Verbal agreement with Lemon ,, probably just waiting until the I's are dotted and T's crossed. Â Verbal agreement... I remember we had a verbal agreement with Gregg Carr first night of the free-agency in the past, only to find out the next morning that he decided to sign with Edmonton who gave him 10k more than he agreed upon with Winnipeg. Â Not saying he will not sign with Ottawa eventually, but maybe another (NFL) team gave him a call and shown interest and he will give it another get-go.
September 3, 20159 yr comment_148390 Well its not the end if he signs elsewhere, its only a must sign if he were playing on the o line.
September 4, 20159 yr comment_148582 @ArashMadani: Damn. Just before final cuts, no less. #CFL RT @Giants: INJURY UPDATE: Center Brett Jones is out with a knee sprain. #NYGvsNE

September 4, 20159 yr comment_148593 The price tag of our free agents must of been higher, bryant , picard, westermen, hurl, and resigning willy cost us a pretty penny
September 4, 20159 yr comment_148597 The price tag of our free agents must of been higher, bryant , picard, westermen, hurl, and resigning willy cost us a pretty penny  Willy is making the same this year as he did last year. His new contract doesn't come into effect until next season.

His new contract doesn't come into effect until next season. Usually extensions in the CFL come into effect immediately as the remaining contract is ripped up and renegotiated. Willy would be an exception if he's playing out his last contract.

My mistake but he is still playing for the same money as last season.
September 4, 20159 yr comment_148643 Was he not given a bonus that counts against this years sms The Sun reported that $150,000 of Willy's $265,000 salary was paid as a bonus.
September 5, 20159 yr comment_148917 Willy didn't get any additional money this year with his new contract, just more of it upfront.  Ian Wild got cut? I'm surprised that isn't a bigger deal here. It would be nice having him back.
September 5, 20159 yr comment_148999 Bigger news is everywhere I look I do not see Henoc on the colts projected 53. Sounds like he may be cut aswell.
