Posted June 24, 20169 yr comment_202969 Arash Madani @ArashMadani 8m8 minutes ago Per @JDunk12: Esks, Riders talking trade. EDM wants No. 1 pick Josiah St. John AND a first for QB James Franklin. SSK, coherently, declined. Ed Hervey vs. Chris Jones is going to be a real thing to keep your eye on over the coming weeks and months. To reach for two first round picks, including No. 1 overall, in return for a back-up QB with a handful of pro starts is... hilarious, really
June 24, 20169 yr comment_202972 Just Hervey's way of saying that Jones better bend over if he wants Franklin. For all the raiding they did from Edmonton on & off the field, the Riders will have to over-pay if they want to make a deal with them... I'm ok with that!
June 24, 20169 yr comment_202975 A trade proposal of epic popportions. Throw in the rights to Jade Etienne, and you may have a deal. What does Jones care? He'll just make the difference up with his cunning and guile.
June 24, 20169 yr comment_202980 Considering St. John is pretty close to a wasted draft pick I'd take that deal if I was Jones. Franklin could save their butts this year if Durant goes down, and Sask. would also be the right place, right time destination for Franklin to take over the starting QB role in a year or two.

Franklin is also a free agent at the end of the year so that's a high price to pay for someone who could bolt at the end of the year (I'm sure Montreal would be willing to over-spend on him).
June 24, 20169 yr comment_202985 Jump it Jones....if he doesn't ..lol ...when Durant goes down they'll have nothing that resembles a qb. in 16'... I think it's the only deal that'll be acceptable to the banjo pickers and grinners...Steep ..yes, but the only way to go for a team boxed into a corner. Pull the trigger Jonesie...

I'd bet what Franklin is looking for through F.A. is a place to start and a move up on the QB salary ladder. If he finds that possibility in Sask. he could be content to forego F.A.. All of that is out the window if he thinks he has NFL interest though.

June 24, 20169 yr comment_202992 To be fair, Vernon Adams netted a first and he's never taken a pro snap.
June 24, 20169 yr comment_202998 This would seem to indicate that Edmonton believes Jones and Co. have the brains of eggplants.

Or... it could be a great big F.U. from Edmonton. You know- from the week after last year's GC. And what's up with "SSK, coherently, declined." ? Does Jones have a speech issue? or is that a comment on SSK's collective grasp of conversational communication? Edited June 24, 20169 yr by wanna-b-fanboy for funny

Most replies from Jonsie are 'incoherent'...orrr he doesn't reply at all and refuses to shake your hand...Guys a real 'pip'...( what I'd like to say starts with p' also but has a couple more letters and could be described as being a little more 'prickly')

Yup if Vernon Adams is worth a first you could make a case that Franklin is worth this. I mean I wouldn't make that case but you theoretically could. JSJ and a mid round pick for Franklin sounds fair.
June 24, 20169 yr comment_203017 So Edmonton quickly withdrew the deal and offered a bag of chips for St. John, two number one and a second Edited June 24, 20169 yr by LeBird

June 24, 20169 yr comment_203081 If Willy has another shaky season the Bombers should be aggressive in their pursuit of Franklin. I was very impressed with his showing last year. Looked much better and was more productive than Nicholls and may be the primary reason Edmonton got rid of him. Franklin has greater upside. Of course, that's assuming the Riders don't trade for him during the season. Edited June 25, 20169 yr by blueandgoldguy

There's no way we give up on Willy yet.
