Rhymes and Begelton will give VAJ 2 decent targets. Moncreith is a steal at $90k

DB salaries are creeping up, lucky they locked up Holm early in the process, they might have to pay Nichols $150-160k to retain him next time he becomes a FA.

Prokup signed by the Stamps.

To coach.

Wow, who do the Stamps have behind Adams?? I would think Prokup would be their SY Qb minimum and possibly their #2 Qb. Good for him though he's coaching.

Nah, Nichols is getting up there in age for a DB.  Those guys are almost always the youngest unit.  Shelf life is limited.  Good DB attributes are the first to age out.

It's rare a star DB leaves here and goes on to shine elsewhere.

Darn, because if Strev's knees can't handle it or he gets injured, there's no other CFL QB I'd rather have in SY than Prukop.  I'd posit he's the best in the league at getting that 1-1.5 yards.

... until we find the next one!

6'5" 245lb Tommy Stevens, formerly of Calgary, was far and away the best SY QB in 2024 - 60 carries for 237 yards (almost 4.0 YPC) and 10 TDs.  I'd have liked the Bombers to go after him in FA, but the Riders grabbed him.

At one time I'd agree but others seem to be learning it as a specialty too, with success. He did raise the bar though, no doubt.

I would not want to sign any QB just to do SY.

I'm going to waste a QB roster spot because one guy gets the yard 95% of the time instead of 91% of the time? I'd rather train a prospect how to do the sneak while hoping they can develop into something more.
My wife is amazing!

I think Wilson handled the SY very well last season.

We could have had Stevens, Prokup AND Streveler here, we'd be unbeatable!

Or, we can get a FB to take the punishment of SY plays.  Or even a DT, like The Fridge did.  Can you imagine Fatboi crashing the line?  Or Willie diving over?

I think he'd get stuffed for no gain more often than not.

You want someone with a quick first step more than anything.
