2024-2025 CFL (non-Bomber) off-season discussion

[dd]

Don't know about now, but Rose played at an all-star level for many seasons, Micah Johnson like inside guy. Definitely put up better numbers than any DT currently on staff.

In the games we played vs Calgary, I honestly couldn't tell you if he played or not, I don't recall hearing his name called on any plays...that tells me he isn't as effective as you might think.

Yeah, I think he's done.

Grant extended in TO, so that dream can die now.

Rose is no better than the guys we had here. Pass

According to Dunk many teams pursuing Rose.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Saskatchewan Roughriders, Edmonton Elks and B.C. Lions pursuing veteran DL Mike Rose.

It still chaps my hide they let him get away.

How does bc get away with giving 200k in marketing money to Rourke even on his reworked deal?(His cap hit becomes only 424k)
And why aren't we doing the same with Collaros

I don't think he 'got away', more like left and didn't want to talk to KW or return his phone calls, there's a big difference. If he was at the point where he wouldn't return a phone call, he had his mind made up he wasn't coming back here.

I've let it go, you can't sign players that don't want to sign.

That's Rigmaiden calculating the real cost of the promise Doman made to Rourke and rejigging his contract so they're not severely handicapped heading into FA.  I hope the league governors gave Doman holy hell at the recent league meetings.

Sask signs Rose.

Marketing money should go against the cap....needs to change.

[Jesse]

McManis re-signs with Toronto for an anti-climatic start to the day.

[Blue In BC]

Elks are having an impressive start to re-build to their roster today. These additions probably indicate some players from 2024 that won't be re-signed.

Agreed about the Marketing money and I don't know why Kyle isn't taking advantage. Let's see if he does take advantage at some point.
