If we cant sign Schoen I'd also like us to look at Coxie at wr.

Meh.  Coxie will probably cost med-hi SMS$$ too.  He's never excited me to any extent.  I thought similar-level Bane looked better.

Our FA WR pickupss haven't worked out well in many years.  They almost always spend a lot of time in the tub (Ellingson, Moore) or just suck (Bowman).  I'd rather spend the extra SMS on improving the D and going with a new scouting-find WR.  Isn't that how we ended up with Schoen & Bailey?  Sometimes they turn out to be Agudosi.  Sometimes Schoen.  McManus et al have to earn their supper too!!

most of the free agents wrs we've signed that haven't done well were on the downside of their careers. Id much rather spend the money on free agents that are still in the prime or just getting there Coxie has great size 6ft3 200 lbs and his average yds per game is not far off Schoen. Olinemen that are any good and not over 32 cost a fortune (Dejarlais 250k)

OK, what was this?

Toronto gets:  5th, 24th, 25th and a conditional 3rd and Neg rights to Deontay Burnett

Ham gets:  7th, 16th, 36th and a conditional 4th and the Playing right to Jordan Williams.

Hearing Saskatchewan Roughriders have also signed DL Anthony Lanier to a one-year contract extension. Deal would make him one of CFL's top-paid defensive linemen.

Last year he was the highest paid defensive player in the CFL @ $250k. That's a lot  for an Import DE that only contributed 19 tackles and 5 sacks,

Is Jones still running the Riders?

I guess you have to overpay to get guys to wear those ugly uniforms...

And this is why JJ is going to look to see what's out there.

But he's a fan favorite.  Even with the down 2023 season I think most fans just chalk that up to being played in the wrong spots / used incorrectly by Shivers/Craig.

They have so few shining lights in SSK, that when they find one they tend to cling and overpay.  However, wouldn't one think Lanier would have to accept less money this year than last?  Why pay him the top salary again?  Where else is he going to get anywhere near that $$?

Riderfans were convinced Jones was going to steal him.

Als cut Stanback, wonder if this opens the door for them to go after Brady?

What a surprise!  He's a wildly unpopular person even among Rider fans.

Good riddance to that unhinged goof.

If you were even mildly critical of his opinions on Twitter, he would block you.  Apparently he could dish it out but couldn't take it.
