Would be ideal replacement for Schoen.

Yes we need to add some juice to our receiving core, so it may be an ideal fit.

But with all our high paid vets, we are not going to be successful unless we find some impact players on their rookie deals.

He was paid $224K last season so SMS is a huge question. He'll be 31 in July and not the biggest receiver we might consider.

I suppose speaking with his agent wouldn't hurt but I'm guessing he wants more than last year.

I'm sure the receiving core has room for one more big contract in the budget. Only have Demski right now.

He's not into blocking and drops plenty of passes, after Dillon Mitchell I'd vote no thanks.

except he had 4 consecutive 1000 yard receiving seasons (ave of 1178 yards), and played 17-18 games in each. Not sure who else will be available, Hardy is 34, KeeSean Johnson would be a candidate if hes available .
Right now we have two import spots available its ok to fill one with a rookie but the other needs to be a proven top reciever. Last year we tried a number of guys and look where we are now.

My preference would be to sign a big receiver, but not many on the list other than Dominique Rhymes, who's probably fishing for $250k.

I ve always liked Steven dunbar, he's produced everywhere he's played, I d take a run at him if calgar doesn't re sign him

the thing that worries me about Dunbar and Rhymes is that teams don't try to re-sign them. To me that is a red flag. They do produce but seem to lack consistency.

I agree he'd be a good get, provided he's healthy. He had a  knee injury in August and never returned. I'd be very happy with K Johnson from the riders also.

Robustelli would be a guy I'd bring in.  Was pretty decent in Sask last year.

I don't know. Got a lot of attention due to his last name. Seemed a bit overhyped, imo.
