Looks like getting rid of that dead wood Stanley" has really sparked the team...

Just kidding.  Any time you can replace Stanley on the top PP with Morrissey, its going to have benefit.

We're getting healthy at the right time, if we were in contention.  Now its just lottery busting that we're doing.

Tanks alot.

The problem is, we are in contention now. We are only 5 points out of a Wild Card. Which really sucks.  The good thing is we will be playing the Ducks, Rangers and Avas in the next three games. The Ducks and the Avas should beat us.

Buffalo and Tampa Bay in a fight filled game and Stanley or Schenn. Buffalo took a beating in most of those fights, but still won 8-7. Dahlin in the middle of a couple of those fights.

It'll be interesting to see if the Bombers go 3 Natl. receivers like the Riders did, can't really see it as it would limit the dynamic of the passing game.  Would honestly prefer to see Nield and Clercius job share, only on the field at the same time when it's a running play, which could spare Demski extra wear and tear he doesn't need to accumulate.

by going three nationals, allows us to have oline with 3 imports. A stronger oline increases the dynamics of the passing game much more than the 4th best receiver being a cdn vs import. The quality of the receivers doesn't mean a whole lot if the qb is continually running for his life.
Personally I'm with Goldmember in hoping Nield continues his growth, I could see him being more effective than say a Wheatfeld or Stern was for us last year.

I have high hopes for Nield.
He is primed for a break out coming out season.
Here is hoping...

What's the base salary for a QB in the USFL. 

The minimum is $64K for the 2026 season and:

While all players share the same minimum, starting quarterbacks are often among the highest-paid, with many believed to earn well into the six-figure range.

Just a guess but I'd think Elgersma would be closer to the minimum since he has very little US exposure. That said, it's a shorter season and it's USD so it's more than CFL minimum any way you look at it.

I don't know any of the players mentioned or on the early top 20 projected players. Obviously those rankings will change. Currently there are 10 of the top 20 that are either OL or DL. That might suggest a good opportunity to draft at least one or the other.

At this point it's not clear which players are likely more interested in getting drafted in the NFL or even as a UDFA.

Mesidor as # 1 is the only player that seems to be a sure NFL draft choice. There will be more no doubt.

Any forum posters have a favourite / hopeful draft choice?

I didn't say anything close to that. I said we'd use as much as we could by the end of the calendar year. Any bonus paid before 12/31 was 2025 SMS and any bonus paid on or after Jan 1 was 2026 SMS.

The guide would be the date of the cheque even if that meant exceeding the 2025 SMS by some amount.

To be clear. The fact that contracts were announced in 2025 doesn't mean that they are using any 2025 SMS.

You're saying that we would have to have enough 2025 SMS room for every bonus you paid out before the end of the year. You also say that we use up the 2025 SMS before using the 2026 SMS (which I believe is true). Are you suggesting that some, most, or all of the bonuses paid after we drained the 2025 SMS are actually paid in January so they are included in the 2026 SMS? If so, then the date on the contract really doesn't matter.

Not correct at any level. WOW. Talk about theories?  Money PAID IN 2025 is against the 2025 SMS. If it wasn't then the SMS has no meaning and defies how it's calculated.
