Lions also signed Sankey. I wonder how much that cost?

Micah Awe might be on the move once again after putting up 118 DT's last season. Never liked his style but he is a durable workhorse.

Very informative interview with Jim Barker on the operations level, breaks down a lot of the front office jobs and the division between coaching, GM and player personnel duties.  Good thing he loves to talk, you'd never get this much information out of any other CFL GM.

They are going Canadian (and likely cheaper for now) at that spot.

Could be. Not sure what happens with Awe or other costs in SMS as some players may be lost. A little like the same question about Sankey signing in Winnipeg. Great player but does he start of become a DI / rotation player and what is the additional hit to the SMS.

It's a function of making the cup 2 out of 3 years.  Just like SSK will find out -- GC teams get sniped.  Can't keep 'em all.

Quote from: theaardvark on December 18, 2025, 07:51:31 PMThere's a subtle difference between "push him out the door" and "move on from him".  This is the latter.

"Show him the door"?  Or maybe "leave the door open"?  Definitely something to do with doors and a lack of shuttedness.

Uh, you're on MBB, aren't you?  :D  The Jake-hate runs strong through that one...

Quote from: theaardvark on December 18, 2025, 04:54:39 PMOur "scrapheap" DL losses haven't seemed to light things up in recent years.

The only good one who did anything after leaving was Sayles.  He's been solid this whole time, and rarely injured.  Everyone else quickly got injured and/or retired.  Even Walker just IR'd and disappeared.  Add in Stove, Nevis...

So I guess if you add up all the numbers we were very smart to let them all walk.  We couldn't have tied up all that massive SMS to keep everyone each FA just to have them all be busts, save one... however nice it would have been to have Sayles powering the DL all these years.
