Yeah, every NHL player hates having 5 years of pro contracts in the control of the team... they could go to Europe and make so much more...

Uh... what is NHL ELC vs CFL ELC?  LOL.  (Yikes, I just looked it up... double LOL.)

Yeeha!!!  Glad we don't have to go through another season wondering who the future QB will be, hopefully this works out well.

Uh... do you want me to break it to him?  Things are still as clear as mud.  All we have at this exact moment are hopes & dreams & a lot of QBs coming to camp, that just happens to include a Usports star who may or may not be able to hack it as a pro.

Can we be more optimistic now?  Sure.  But maybe by only 5%?

I wonder how much we will be "spreading the wealth" with other franchises through the profit sharing model?

Surely profit sharing to the "poors" already came out of the '25 financials and is part of the final results we saw?

It would suck if they clawed out many millions$ for the '25 numbers from the FY '26 book.

All the billionaire CFL owners of the other teams need free money, dontchaknow!  Pay up Winnipeg!

Ajou... doh.  LOL.  He's wondering what he did wrong, he merely asked someone to "Show Him Their Regina".  ( /s for the /s impaired )

I wonder who will take a flyer on him down the road after serving his penance.  Is Chris Jones still in the league? 

SSK thought he was part of the future.  Methinks strong REC just moved up the SSK selection board in the upcoming draft!  I agree that maybe this makes SSK open to tradebait... if we didn't want Clercius anymore, he would be a good fit in SSK, and I'd think getting a 2RDP for him would be a huge coup.  That said, this is the CFL, not the MLB, and trades almost never happen.

Haha, Ward for Lauther.  Good luck with that.

Stick a fork in Ward.  His mojo has left the building.  Lauther will be Lauther.

If Corcoran replaces Clercius then we are doing something wrong. Corcoran is at best 3rd string backup

Corcoran made a couple of grabs last year that had me screaming "sweet hands".  Like top-line bad-throw very-short-range no-time-to-think high-velocity snags that should have been whiffs.  They were something to behold.

Clercius has never shown to have any hands at all.  Maybe this is what MOS & crew saw when they changed the AR.

Plus, Zach & Hogan whinged many times last year about guys all not being in the right place doing the right things.  We still aren't sure who that is, but it easily could have been Clercius.  Being "that wrong place" guy will get you in the dog house in WFC pretty darn fast!!

I'm actually pretty excited about Corcoran.  Clercius to me is, at best, "will be a very good blocker" player.  Important, maybe.  Exciting, no.

Tru dat.  Temper expectations and have patience.

He doesn't help the ratio unless he starts. QB's have their own category. I suppose if he goes in for short yardage he might impact the ratio on that play.

Ya, no ratio help essentially.  UNLESS you had a jumbo hoggie who was an IMP.  Then he could come on for extra beef.  But even that is a stretch as it's easier to just take off an IMP REC on the end of the line who isn't affecting the play anyhow.

Oh ya, unless Zach goes out and Elgersma comes in as #2.  THEN you can swap out a NAT REC for IMP, right??  Or does that only count if the NAT QB is the *starter*.

I don't know.  Maybe very bad if you're Wilson.  But possibly great news for Wilson's clipboard, as it may get a whole lot of lovin' every single game if it's Elgersma that gets all of his reps!

(And let's not get ahead of ourselves... Kelly, Rourke, Alexander all took at least a year to get up to CFL speed.)

I like him again. 

LOL, ya, the best thing about this news is it puts an end to the interminable debate and speculation.  Hooray!

And now all the bad-mouthing stops and we welcome him and love him.  Until he steps on the field and Brohm the bed... well, we all hope that isn't what happens, eh?  We want the next Rourke -- but BETTER than Rourke!
