A dumb GM /team can easily have 2 receivers being way over-paid.
It certainly may make it prohibitive for them to add on defense (assuming nobody is cut).
Yes OV, White was horrible last season after demanding a huge salary, yet somehow he was named "All CFL"....but then again how Hamilton Rec Brydges beat out Polk for ROY is another mystery. Meanwhile Hamilton has no C or starting MLB. 1999 & counting folks!OV Argo wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 2:10 pmA dumb GM /team can easily have 2 receivers being way over-paid.
White was horrid last season; but, he has been very good in the past, and it might be expected he could return to his league best form; White's best CFL production season blows away anything Lawler has done in the league. Lawler is a big play, 50-50 ball kinda receiver who gets tons of hype for some of his hi-lite real type catches (sort of an Arland Bruce of the CFL now, only way slower). Most teams would want a guy like that in their receiving corps for the big plays; making him one of the highest paid at his position in the league and thinking he is your #1 target receiver is just plain dumb IMO. That moron Jonestown signed him for huge CFL buck$, just like he did with E. Lewis.
I had no problem with Brydges winning ROY - he was outstanding last season and IMO did more than Polk. One of the best rookie CFL receivers in some time IMO.gilthethrill wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 7:26 pmYes OV, White was horrible last season after demanding a huge salary, yet somehow he was named "All CFL"....but then again how Hamilton Rec Brydges beat out Polk for ROY is another mystery.

Personally I think the East will be a dog fight this season, any of the 4 teams could win it.OV Argo wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2025 12:22 amI had no problem with Brydges winning ROY - he was outstanding last season and IMO did more than Polk.

And Tim White could rebound to another great CFL season after his stone hands act of last season; as I pointed out, he has done way more than the IMO vastly over-rated Lawler in a single CFL season.
Hey, maybe all 3 of White, Brydges and Lawler put up huge 1500 yard CFL receiving seasons next year with the great Bovine feeding them the ball. Lawler getting top CFL receiver money is a joke IMO and shows how dumb they are.
Gonna love seeing the clueless Pussycats in the basement again next season. Gonna party in the Hammer like it's 1999.![]()
I don't think there is a free spot on the bingo card anymore. Right now the parity across all 9 teams looks staggering. Every game will matter. Cross overs will be in play in both divisions. Injuries could dictate who gets in and doesn't.ARGO57 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2025 9:08 amPersonally I think the East will be a dog fight this season, any of the 4 teams could win it.OV Argo wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2025 12:22 amI had no problem with Brydges winning ROY - he was outstanding last season and IMO did more than Polk.

You may be right there, and I hope so (love to see tough competition and no $hite teams), but it maybe quite premature to think that - till rosters are set after free agency and the draft. IMO, pretty well all CFL teams find pretty good talent every year - with some being more complete and deeper than others.Scooter McCray wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2025 5:04 pmI don't think there is a free spot on the bingo card anymore.
