Parker was released because he wasn't good enough as was Bridges, I was surprised bc signed either one. But doesn't it seem like BC more than any other team will sign players knowing that they are more and likely gonna not keep them as soon as someone that might be better comes along.
Sucks that they waited til now to do so.

UDFA deals are spec at best, unless there is actual money included.  Any idea if any of the top guys got money in their UDFA deals?

I'd be surprised if there was any money involved and no guarantees.

Lions release M. Bridges and J. Parker today. 3 rookies also released.  Bummer for the ex Bombers to be released so soon before TC.

If Parker left because of wanting more money, does this create an opportunity for him to return? If would we be interested? I'm not sure, we don't know the exact reason for allowing him to go to free agency. It could have been money or just the desire to move on by the team.

Exactly, it's more likely an accident than intentional.  Clearly the amount Doman exceeded the cap in 2024 was intentional.

Yes but you don't often get 2 starting Canadians returning from the NFL including a top salary QB and a DE.

Jays need to shut down the Red Sox, who now replaced their Mgr., and have won two straight. Another series win would most definitely help the Jays keep their heads high

As a team, the Jays have a low whiff rate but Okamoto is an awful exception to that

Yes, Oko has had trouble with the whiffs. But, he is starting to catch up with the fastball. Hitting much better of late.

Chevy, upgrade at 2nd line center by trading for a young 23,
Ridley Grieg from Ottawa.
Good feisty playmaker who is quite decent at the dot, finishing around the net, pushing the play and distributing

But, I would love to pickup Matt Savoie from the Oilers. Right hand shot, has speed, wins puck battles, 37 points this season.

The in season spending is a balancing act, no doubt. However the amount spent is known after the last game. It's what left is a little easier to evaluate once you get into December. If for example they wanted to give Kramdi or Lawson a $50K signing bonus but only had $32K left, then it's an easy decision to over spend $18K.

Obviously we didn't over spend the SMS but the same example could be used for Ottawa that did.

Exactly, it's more likely an accident than intentional.  Clearly the amount Doman exceeded the cap in 2024 was intentional.

Ya, this may be the worst season start in a while for OL continuity.  The C is an especially touchy position to toy with.  Let's hope we pick our C wisely in TC and ride with him the whole season, and it turns out to be the correct choice.

At least if we go 3 IMP there's a good chance the 3rd is Vant or Rand, who both have extensive experience and tons of real game reps in our system.

I hope that if we actually end up with 2 or 3 totally new guys on the line that the hoped-for massive talent improvement will overcome the lack of week 1 gel.

I really don't want Vant or Rand as 3rd IMP oline.  They've had far to long to grab that spot, and haven't.

This is going to be a pivotal camp for the Oline, I'd love to get a guest coach in here... and you know who...
