Official Game Day Thread - Saskatchewan at Winnipeg , September 6, 2025

Weird thing, I know the GC will be a sellout regardless if we are in it or not, its just the way it goes.

But it could be the smallest actual attendance of any game of the year if we aren't in it.

Ticket sales are great, but concessions are also a big part, and butts in seats gotta eats.  And drink.

I have all my Grey Cup Events and game tickets purchased and will attend with whomever is in the game!  Or is it whoever??

After Labour Day, you would still have to pay Mitchell his salary, doesn't make financial sense.

I guess they can't cut Mitchell now, but there is a difference if they pay him PR salary vs roster salary. They already PR'd him once, so don't think they will protect him on the 1 game IR.

Hope to get a look at Echols for a game or two before Sterns returns, to see if he'll be a useful addition for next season.  Strange but with every new receiver I long to see a glimmer of Bailey, tough, hard-nosed and an explosive runner.

You have to cut him to put him on the PR. If you can do that then you can release him outright. I'm not sure if he qualifies for the veteran cut down date rule. Maybe someone knows for sure.

Whether they choose to make a roster move in that regard is another story.

O I thought we were already on the hook for that
I am not sure regardless we want to cut receivers

Unless Sterns is 100% I keep him

Has shown a little promise but was cold last game
