Osh wants an OC that wont abandon the run haha... im fine with this

Kenny Lawler becomes the highest non qb in the league, dude does chase the money.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Sad to see him go, but respect the hustle. Football is a business after all.

Rough offseason to say the least. Cut Woli, kept around Neufeld and then lost a ton of guys. Haba, Garbutt, Lawler, Ford, and Dobson

Just a slight downgrade... or possibly an upgrade from Josh Johnson - who we cut...

Huge upgrade on Josh Johnson. He wasn't CFL quality (138yrds in 10 starts) and whiny little baby on top of it. He wasn't targeted in his last game here, ran off the field without shaking hands or talking to anyone then just refused to come back after the bye week. Why he was cut.

White is a decent depth add. He definateky flashed at times in MTL as a legit threat. White vs Wheatfall will likely be the battle for WR5 spot. With Logan and Mitchell having return experience they may even able to keep both on the roster with no having to have a designated American returner ala Janarion or Whitehead.

Right now im not seeing the benefit of cutting woli... 110 is not that much for cdn depth

 

[jungles]

Is White even better than Woli?

More athletic, better catch radius and much faster. Woli had that trust with Zach, very secure hands and of course the all valuable Canadian designation. As a player I'd take White (or Wheatfall) over Woli, but his Canadian designation means alot for teams.

Me neither. Seemed like he was cut so they could go big game hunting in free agency, but that hasn’t happened.

 

[rkp]

dont see first place for the bombers for the upcoming season, will depend on how bad the other teams are....

 

[BobTheSolarsystem]

Wow, salary cap up 400k... really makes you wonder why Lawler wasn't retained now - im sure he would have stayed for the same rate

Mackie, McEwan, Sopik, Adeleke, Haggerty... all guys that could solidify this team
