Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on February 01, 2025, 04:05:43 PMCould be strategic, announce a big signing the day before FA opens to distract from not having any big signings during the first week. It's been years since the Bombers made a big splash early in FA, more prone to pick up bargains in week 2,3 and 4.

Yes but that doesn't mean we won't make a splash in the 1st couple of hours when free agency hits. If announcements are made about tampering period offers, we'd know how things are going. I don't remember if we hear that information publicly.

However, the result of those non retractable offers means players often choose the moment free agency hits. DAY 1 is always a big one.
Take no prisoners

Dobson rated #3 in the top OL going to FA. He might expecting a big pay day.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

Agreed. Waaay over rated and if he wants big bucks, good luck with that one, but I expect us to move on

By "big fella" I assume you mean Wallace?

I'd have a hard time paying Dobson elite OL money when we've let seemingly better options walk before him and we have a guy like Wallace to take over if needed.

BUT, home Grey Cup, so pay whoever will take our money Walters.

I expect him to be signed.  After QB most important unit imo.

There might be some growing pains but well worth the price if he gets the hang of OG beside Stanley. He seems physically capable of handling anything thrown at him which is an advantage over Dobson who sometimes got pushed back right into Zach's lap.
