Another strange Jones move, it would seem that recievers are much easier to replace than a 295 athletic tackle of his ability.
the only benifet is it gives mbt a reciever he is familiar with

Good point, did not occur to me.  MBT had a great year the year Gittens got 1000+ yards...  that makes sense.  I guess the fact he played 10 games last season brings his trade cost down, but Ceresna?  Surely Pinball could have gotten more... not even a draft pick tossed in?

Player salaries are almost a trade off, so Jones didn't save anything by taking on Gittens and he dumped about the same amount cutting Dunbar.  The other possibly is ratio related, Jones might be trying to shift more starting Natls. to the O-side.

Honestly, I think this is a great trade. I can't figure out who "won".

Both teams filled different needs based on different circumstances. As a fan, I love seeing it. Big moves, GMs. Great to see.

A great trade for both teams. I'd say they both won.

It would be interesting to know what Hatcher signed for. This contract should tell us what DS is worth.  I would also think Hatcher will probably miss most of the 2024 season.

Personally would say the Argos won the trade. Ceresna would have looked sensational in our Blue colors

B.C. Lions re-sign breakout star Alexander Hollins, Lions doing a great job of retaining their excellent receivers.  Lucky growing more nervous with every passing day.

I would sure like to know the salary range they're signing these guys for, it would be a good measuring stick for Schoen.

Ask and you shall receive (I don't think you can compare them to Scheon tho):

#BCLions asked Rhymes to restructure his deal, he declined, knowing there will be interest in #CFLFA
Hollins deal pays 220 & 230k.
Hatcher will make 220 & 230k in 25-26 (closer to minimum in ?24 due to inj).
Lucky likely headed to FA.
Cottoy a priority to get resigned.

That's good, and should be the upper end for receivers, unfortunately there are 2 anomalies, soon maybe 3.  I wish Walters hadn't gone off the deep end re-signing Lawler, by doing so he sabotaged his own efforts to re-sign Schoen, and indirectly supported Jones ridiculous decision to pay top receivers in the range of $300k instead of $200k.

Interesting.

[Pete]

seems to be a lot of movement with receivers, Dunbar being released now Rhymes, Gittens traded, feels like more teams are finding that you can't afford more than 2 recievers at 200k plus.
