Man, how would you feel if you're VA jr? On top of the world one minute after lighting it up and leading your team to first place in the West, then you get injured and the backup, Dolegala gets your reps, then you find out the club has gone out and signed a superstar QB and suddenly you're the backup.

Maybe VA isn't like this but me? I'd be pissed! I'd be demanding a trade.
Go Bombers!

He's a proven starting QB who arguably is one of the best in the league. Can't imagine he would settle for a #2 job indefinitely. If he doesn't ask for a trade I'd be shocked.

V.A. may have led teams towards first place but he's never maintained it or accomplished the goal.  I see 2 maybe 3 teams having an interest in him as a starter, he's highly skilled but in the end he's more flash than substance.

How would you feel if your Dolegala, he was the backup, thrust into the #1 job while Adams was hurt, and now he's cut!! Cold business...

Quote from: TBURGESS on August 14, 2024, 10:19:08 PMAs I see the numbers:

   110,800 - Salary
-    15,000 - Bonus (Already Paid)
=   95,800
1/2 of the season's gone, so they'll save 1/2 * $95,800 or $47,900 for the rest of the year.

He won't be replaced by anyone other than Rourke, so the amount over the ELC doesn't mean anything.

They cut him instead of their # 3 QB that would have been on an ELC. So that's where the savings come from. Obviously the cost for their QB group has gone up.
One game at a time.

It's early but the Lions have a bunch of injuries from their last game. Some may not be able to play this week.

They're still saving $47,900.

Yes and even with Rourke losing Hollins is going to hurt. That's like us losing Lawler.
Go Bombers!

I thought I saw that Keric Wheatfall was back at full practice. Does anyone know if he is also back? If he is, this receiving corps is starting to look very nasty with Lawler, Demski, Wilson, Wheatfall, Clercius, Johnson, Whitehead, etc. I bet Zach likes it!

Doesnt sound like he will be back this week.

From Derek Taylor yesterday:

WR Keric Wheatfall is doing some running at practice. His 6 games on the injured list are up.

With two practice roster spots available (possibly Wheatfall and whoever comes off for Haba, if he's ready).

Hollins might be hot and cold.

Saw him drop one right to him, nobody near him. Kind of disappeared after some big games.
