Try and constrain yourself there OV. lol

So there you go boys and girls after months of speculating our wish list has been whittled down to the two left overs. Matt Nichols is obviously rated ahead of McCleod, as they say "follow the money". Three year contract to one year is quite telling.
Now who will be the receivers? Apparently Walker won't be back which is disappointing as he and Nichols could hook up for that deep threat that all teams look for. Edwards and SJ Green are on the back end of their careers IMO but can still be productive under the right circumstances. Rodney Smith had his moments last year but he will be 30 and then Chandler Worthy is also signed and played well late in the season. Unless there is a hidden gem in the no names signed so far maybe we will see most of those five guys back. Was one of the better receiving corps in the League last year IMO. Add Canadians Adjey, Gittens and Noel and the receiving looks good if and when they all get signed.
I don't see Nichols playing all 18 games and maybe he starts the year on the 6 game injured list to make sure his shoulder and throwing arm is back. Also would save a third of his salary from the cap. So I think all three QB's Nichols, MBT and O'Connor will see playing time this year. Is O'Connor the eventual starter? Time will tell, but he is a Jim Popp draft pick. Maybe the new Coach would rather have a more mobile QB coming along in the wings. Nathan Rourke will be there for the taking in the CFL draft.
