Pickett will go somewhere for a lot of money, a good player but we don't need him
Bet he was due a bonus

Sayles while expensive, I would have considered

Quote from: VictorRomano on January 13, 2026, 05:34:29 PMLB Adarous Pickett released by Redblacks. Might we have any interest?

None at all. We're committed to NAT SAM for the foreseeable future. And Pickett isn't going to be the "QB of the <anything>".

Even if we were interested, no way we have that kind of FA $ for an IMP SAM!

Other teams will be jumping at him, though!

Uh, am I missing something? Don't we need to enter the tamper period and actual FA before things like this happen?

Ti-Cats released him early to get a headstart on FA and avoid a bonus payment, just like Bombers released Kolankowski early and it worked out well in both cases.

Ah, so "early release" allows teams to do things pre-tamper/pre-FA?

But if the guy is due to be a FA but is NOT released the other teams have to wait for tamper/FA?

Yep seems to be the case, FA begins Feb. 10th.

Dear god, do the Ti-Cats have no clue what they're doing?
