    I might start buying merch again this year. It has nothing to do with management. It's the first year in a few that I might be able to wear some of it. The bombers don't really sell fat guy sizing. Do

  • The last game played at Taylor Field will be the most important game in the history of the stadium. The end of a era. The memories of days gone by will be missed. Children growing up and going to game

  • Really like this. All the best, Alex (Suber) !

One thing to note is that Norwood was going to give F.A. a go at the end of this season as he was only earning $90,000.  If Jones can tie him up for a couple of years at a reasonable rate than it may be worth the gamble on his recovery.  If Norwood plays this year and goes to F.A. anyway, it doesn't look so good imo.

Got mixed feelings about it. One thing is for sure, Norwood is very good when healthy. Is he healthy, will he ever be healthy again to regain forum, what are the risks?

Looks like the riders signed or on the verge of signing Norwood. Bit of a gamble, but if he comes back in August as projected and is playing anywhere near where he was, that could be a good pick up for them, especially if he'll be a fresh body for the 2nd half of the season

The Norwood deal is just for this year so not a great deal imo.

Phillip Hunt released by the Saints. Probably end of the road for him. Unless a club pick him up for a look-see.

He's only 30 too, if he made his way back north I'd totally not be against going after him. it would make a lot of Hunt jerseys relevant again too, which is an important thing to consider in whether or not to give him a call ;)

Theoretically if that trade was made, Denmark for Dressler... or even Smith... at the end of last season, Rider fans would be outraged... don't pretend that's not true, even in hindsight...

The fans would definitely have been mad. There are people here still mad about dressler not being here. He was well liked and was a big fan favorite. I agree totally with you except for the part that no trade occurred.  I see a steady vet in Denmark, depending on the money it might not be a bad move. Dressler see's himself as a top tier receiver in the league, simply fact is his production doesn't warrant his salary. If there was no salary cap, Dressler likely would still be here.  At the salary you guys signed him for, Dressler will deliver a good value money wise. Speaking of last year, how many Bomber fans would have wanted Dressler for 240k/yr???
