No one has come close to replacing Richardson at tackle, its been a steady decline since he left. I am hoping we break this trend

Problem is with the positional money going to the higher priced DE's they're always looking for DT's to play on ELC's.  Once Willie is gone maybe they'll be able to change tactics.

Oh no, we lost Stove! ( Casey Sayles steps up )

Oh no, we lost Casey Sayles ( Ricky Walker steps up)

Oh no, we lost Ricky Walker... who is the next man up?

Currently on the roster, may be more coming to camp...

90    Fox, Miles            DT    A    6'1    297    27    Wake Forest
97    Kornelson, Collin    DT    N    6'3    240    23    Manitoba
99    Lawson, Cameron    DT    N    6'3    281    25    Queen's
96    Schmekel, Tanner    DT    N    6'1    291    24    Regina
95    Thomas, Jake            DT    N    6'2    274    33    Acadia
   Woods, Jamal            DT    A    6'2    290    24    Illinois

And we have this years Draft Picks as well... we could end up with a 2 Nat interior Dline... and start 98-9 Nats, have zero "fake nat" snaps again next year and get an extra draft pick again.

Schmekel's a hefty boy, but the fact they re-signed Jake earlier probably means they don't expect him to be a starter yet, he's got this TC to prove them wrong or it's back on the PR for another year.

Sayles and Walker are a bit smaller iirc, more pass rush guys than nose tackles/run defenders. I think we need to get back to the more stout guys inside

Interesting that not a single sask. player has been picked up in free agency as of yet.

B-grade receiver, seems like they don't want Jake Wieneke back even at a cheaper price.  Wonder if there's any chance Austin Mack returns mid-season.

IIRC, Mack got a good signing bonus so I wouldn't expect him to return to the CFL this year.

I've seen players with a lot larger signing bonuses not make it to camp...

Mack will earn a base salary of $915,000 and a signing bonus of $24,000, while carrying a cap hit of $927,000 and a dead cap value of $24,000.

Riders have picked up 6 players, probably due to how they\ve overpaid in the past for lesser talents. It does look like they will be more competitive this year (with Thurman, Carney, Hardrick, Oulette, Auclair and Cooper. )

Riders have picked up some nice pieces. Should be better this year.

Mace is moving them in the right direction, won't be many easy spots on the bingo card this season for the Bombers and some real dogfights, predicting at least 6 losses.

That's a pretty low bar, but I agree.

Riders sign DE Malik Carney.
