You know what I feel better about the talent on the OL than receivers especially with Moore not being back. Receiver just might be the spot we are most lacking. I like Denmark but he can't be our best guy and I don't have a terribly high opinion of Adams. Canadians are OK but not game breakers so they need to be surrounded by guys who can be that.

Wade Miller is looking for a bone that he can sell to the masses. Edited January 21, 20169 yr by Throw Long Bannatyne

January 21, 20169 yr comment_179455 I can't imagine he gets any less than the 185K we were paying Nick Moore. 200K sounds about right.
January 21, 20169 yr comment_179457 I hope this is not another 'we liked your offer but' something along the lines of Stubler, who was all set to come here till Huffer gave him a call and we bid him adios...I hope the hell we're not getting played.

Whatever. If that's how it goes, then that's how it goes. Sometimes things are out of your control. I'd like to get Dressler, but if he chooses to go elsewhere, there are other options.
January 21, 20169 yr comment_179468 My guess is who gives a flying fack on what they pay the guy.... I'd rather they over pay and have Dressler start then for us to waste 100 000 or whatever they paid Romby Bryant and whatever money they had going to roster fillers like Aaron Kelly. Unless they go nutso anything under 200 000 is a steal in my opinion.
January 22, 20169 yr comment_179503 The scouting has been a disappointment say for a few on defense, and because of this we need to look at free agency. I agree with Brandon show him the money. He is a game changer, If we are unable to sign Dressler with the highest offer and Calgary does, that should tell us fans that players around the league want to go to a winner and Bombers haven't proven to be anything close to this.

Nah. It doesn't necessarily tell me that. Although it may be true to an extent, there are recent examples of FA signings that fly against that rational. (Moore, Bryant, Adams, Hurl and even the re-signing of Nichols) And, if that were always true, how would that explain Ottawa being able to sign 4-5 FA receivers last season after their dismal inaugural season?

I think you pick it up from richard karikari's house. I hope they dont break the bank for the guy, but i think he has a chance to be one of the best WRs in the cfl if our offensive playing calling isnt the hot poop weve seen in the past.
January 22, 20169 yr comment_179516 Nick Moore only signed with Winnipeg because they offered him the most cash , he admitted to it on Radio. Stanley Bryant chose us because there was no where else to go after all the other Oline signed. Sam Hurl signed here because they promised him he would start, please name me any other team where Hurl starts at Linebacker . Matt Nichols knows he is one injury away from starting , name me another team where he would start. Even in there first year they showed way more progress than Winnipeg and spent a lot of money on these free agents .

January 22, 20169 yr comment_179523 Yeah I highly doubt Bryant needed to sign here. Every team starts one or two import tackles,and he's a good one
January 22, 20169 yr comment_179526 yep Bryant and Sir Vincent Rogers were the 2 most sought after OL last year in FA. Im still amazed we got him for the reported price we did
January 22, 20169 yr comment_179529 Bryant originally signed because he was convinced we were on the verge of something good, Grey Cup in town, up and coming QB, rabid fanbase, nice stadium etc., etc. ... then he got a look at MB's offence in training camp Edited January 22, 20169 yr by IC Khari

I guess Westerman was just a fluke too. And now you're changing the parameters. Naughty, naughty. Sounds like you're rationalizing, oops, I meant irrationalizing. You're gonna give Transcona a bad name.

I'm pretty sure if he backed up any other team he would be one injury away from starting. Hurl - Toronto Bryant - Multiple teams made offers to him. Moore - I'm pretty sure he had a tonne of offers since he was coming off a great season and was not injury prone at the time. Even if he did choose us because we made the highest offer... isn't that usually how free agency works?
