Quote from: theaardvark on January 30, 2026, 06:09:06 PMIts one thing keeping a solid player (ROY) like Schoen though some injury issues, especially without dead money in the deal. Its quite another buying one at a premium price from someone that cut him.

White, I don't think it was an issue with his play that caused HAM to release him, but the fact they have a Lawler eating up the highest salary in the league on the roster.  The fact that he can do returns is a huge addition as well.  Can you imagine White/Vaval back for a punt?  With the ST shenanigans we can get up to?  Fun times.

Hervey's decision to give guaranteed money/bonus to someone who may have an injury issue that winds him up on he 6 game with a reduced $SMS benefit is questionable as well.

Schoen was coming out of 2024 after only playing 3 games. Many questioned the wisdom of a large contract and heavy signing bonus. At least with a nominal signing bonus, SMS is sheltered on 6 the game IR.  It was a risky decision and unfortunately didn't pay off. Sometimes that works out but it was a high risk choice.

We'll see how 2026 plays out. Nobody is safe from injuries even in TC.

White > Mack in terms of reliability due to injury history

Both good, happy with our choice.

Receiver Tommy Nield has agreed to a 2-year deal with #Bombers. Gives Wpg the option to start 3 🇨🇦 receivers if needed

Another great addition. He has size as well and probably a good blocker.

Mack has the hands, White has the speed.  Mack is closer to Kenny/Burnham/Gino hands.  White can rip you a new one up the seam.

I'm starting to wonder where we will play all of these guys... White/Pokey at WR and Demski/Nield in the slot.  Nield in nearest slot?

Do we really want our 2 speedster home-runners out wide?

On the bright side, we're giving Condell a lot to play with here and building a solid corps.  I can't wait to see who we decide on as our 5th.
Never go full Johnston!

We deep when guys go down
We will have a more balanced attack for Zach to throw dimes to
But yes too many guys this early, but a nice problem to have
Agree all missed you buddy

Pokey in his WR spot, but Nield likely takes Clercius' spot on the other side. White and Demski are slots.

Still need another guy unless we're going with 3 Canadian receiving core. We have that massive rookie Banks (6'4", 220) we could put out wide and move Pokey into a slot position
My wife is amazing!
