Must be better than I thought he was if Ticats wanted to give him a look.

Clearly HAM hasn't totally given up on being Bombers-Lite/Redux.

And I'm pretty sure my ranking of Ko-man as middle-of-the-pack is more accurate than the guesses that he was bottom-of-the-barrel.

[Kolo probably signed for around $120k with no bonuses]

Kolo probably signed for around $120k with no bonuses just to keep his career rolling.

No way Ko-man took $120k.  I bet Eli is earning over $100k, and he's never started squat.  For $120k maybe we keep Ko-man around as a NAT backup!

I doubt he took much of a discount from what he was getting here.

Woodmansey is a free agent, maybe over to the Bombers???

Thoughts.

Could be he's asking for too much Woodmansey was #15 on top paid O-linemen list last season with Dobson above him at #9 and Revenberg at #5, the Ti-Cats had a lot of cash tied up in their O-line and needed to find some savings. Kolo probably signed for around $120k with no bonuses just to keep his career rolling.

15) Coulter Woodmansey, Hamilton Tiger-Cats (N)

Hard money: $170,500
Maximum value: $183,700

The University of Guelph product got a $15,000 offseason roster bonus on Feb. 1 ahead of his fifth season with the Tiger-Cats. Woodmansey will also make $131,700 in base salary, $13,800 in housing money, and $10,000 in marketing money this year, plus an additional $250 each time he plays more than half of Hamilton's offensive snaps in a game.

To put in perspective Stanley is the only Bomber on that list, he shows up at #14 exactly the same salary as Woodmansey.

Hard money: $170,700
Maximum value: $183,700

Wish him well there. Wasn't a great blocker here, but gave it his all. He's from the area around Hamilton. Maybe he wanted to be closer to home? Must be better than I thought he was if Ticats wanted to give him a look.

Multiple people have talked about how poor Hammy's snapping was from the centre postion. That's something that Kola did well. A vet like Bo might appreciate the consistency. If they OL is strong around him, he'll still do well.

Pickett will go somewhere for a lot of money, a good player but we don't need him
Bet he was due a bonus

Sayles while expensive, I would have considered
