Would love to see Maksymic implement a "smashmouth" formation at certain junctures of a game to take full advantage of Prukop's running ability and Stanback behind him.

Are you saying more "up the gut" type plays? Is that you Mr Buono?

3000 yards between Hollins, Cottoy, and McInnis would be huge which still leaves 1800 for the others to get V.A. to 4800 yds which is about where I have him slotted in. Still plenty of time and there will be training camp cuts but I think they add one more receiver of note. As is losing Hollins to i...

I don't know where you get Mills being on an ELC deal. He was a pending FA who signed a new extension back in January. He won't be making top dollar but no way is he making anything close to minimum salary. I'd guess he's in the $110K-$120K range. Appreciate the update on Mills. I forgot about 2022...

-Leonard, Baron, Sewell, Davis — you could put together a pretty formidable DL with the remaining FAs albeit all 4 are on the other side of 30. Baron is the youngest turning 31 in August. Stick Simoni Lawrence and Larry Dean behind them and you have a good start on an expansion team. Might patch an...

Seeing Calgary continue to bring in big bodies suggests the rebuild continues and we'll see a different team in 2024. Not really anything new with the exception of more spots open this year particularly on the O line and wondering about Hugh Thornton and Jamaal Campbell who appear to have not been r...

Marketing dollars at work in Winnipeg no doubt.

There will be an autograph session at the Bomber Store with Chris Streveler and Stanley Bryant.

Curious how they are including the Grey Cup option and if they are asking for money now for that. I would love to see home town season ticket holders get a deal on their seats. I bought my Grey Cup tickets last November when I renewed my season tickets and switched seats for 2024. They're paid for....

Could be a case of Leonard trying to squeeze out one more decent payday and might be pricing himself out of the market at a time when teams have already done their big spending. Keep in mind he was the 6th highest paid DE in 2023 making a bit more than Jeffcoat. One would think if Winnipeg had the ...

A lull in the action to say the least with good players yet to be signed. Still think A.C. Leonard ends up back with the Elks and it's just a matter of at what price. Odd that it has dragged on this long. Believe Winnipeg would be interested as well to replace Jeffcoat who isn't much older but can't...

Manny will play for league minimum and perform beyond expectations. Just the way he is. Could always IR him and use him as a positional coach plus depth insurance if they wanted to capitalize on the good will he has with the local market and felt he might have a future with the club. One of Sask's b...

Regardless I do believe the Lions will attempt to start the season with Hollins, Cottoy, McInnis and two CFL newcomers starting with Harty being the primary back up for all 5 as I think they will dress only 6 with Williams serving as a 7th in a pinch. One area of strength in Rigmaiden's group has b...

Sounded earlier there was zero interest in bringing Lucky back but he might be just the guy they need while waiting on Hatcher. Qualifies as a marketable personality if nothing else although it seems he may not be a Rick Campbell favorite similar to the way Loucheiz Purifoy was . He does know the pl...

One thing about getting the owners on the same page is the different ownership models and objectives of private and community owned clubs. I see more accountability with the privately owned teams and it will be interesting to see which way Edmonton goes. I hope they go to a publicly listed corporati...

110k marketing fund is a floor not a cap. Housing allowance just creates tax efficient salary. Bonuses are same. As above noted the Incentive for winning games is gone with xfl. Cfl players could easily include this. Salary spent per cfl team is in the 8 million range. Salary cap only includes 2/3r...
