2019-2020 Offseason Signings, Trades, Releases, Extensions and Other Transactions

Hamilton could treat Jefferson and his family to a Hamilton Bulldogs game then a Mac basketball game.

You kid but I’m hearing the Ticat’s are willing to give him Honey Badger season tickets if he signs, how the hell does MLSE compete with that?

[paulwoods13]

I would be fine with getting Jefferson, and also fine with driving his price up so that the Ticats lose someone like Dylan Wynn to us.

[ArgoGabe22]

SO let me get this straight. The Argos fly Jefferson and family into Toronto, put them up in a ritzy Hotel. Then have them take in the Leafs and Raptors games and all the extras. Then while their in the neighborhood Hamilton ask him drop over for a visit, probably in a Cab. Probably have a bunch of fans chanting Argos $uck. Who do you think has the inside track. Willie will be an Argo.

His wife tweeted a lot more from The Ticats than the Argos BUT she tweeted more about Toronto the city, than Hamilton (duh)

No doubt teams are strategically driving prices up around the league.

Barton St.....Yonge St?
Tough choice.
Kidding aside I take nothing for granted in these situations, at this point Hamilton offers him a pretty decent shot at contending for a Grey Cup which maybe what he is looking at above all.

How much play-off bonus money is there for winning the GC ?

Are the Ticats going to pay big money to J'Gared Davis and huge money to Jefferson ? - be great to have those 2 DEs, but quite costly.

MLSE simply can't compete with that.

I think you answered your own question there OV, it’s not about any playoff money it’s about winning a championship and getting a ring.

Looks like we lost out on the Willie Jefferson sweepstakes, as per Farhan Lalji... who will they turn their main attention to next? Plus as least they know prior to start of full free agency.

Glad to see him stay out west.

Glad to see him stay out west.

You mean as opposed to Hamilton, right?

[Jon Gonzo]

Love this player and have hoped for him in double blue for a few years now, but 1) its not in Hamilton and 2) a better balance in cash now more easily deployed. I'd like to see Dylan Wynn and Cleyon side by each once again

I wouldn't mind that either, but would prefer Micah Johnson to Wynn. At least it allows Robbie Smith more playing time, and Gilchrist really finished last season strong. I'm really excited to see him progress.

Darn straight....Jefferson and Davis on the ends....ugh.

Argos re-sign Noel, sign Marcus Thigpen and Canadian WR Kolton Nelson. Glad about Noel re-signing.

[paulwoods13]

Great news about Noel. He's perhaps the best special teams coverage guy in the league, and a decent backup option at WR/SB.

[argolio]

Noel had a great camp last year but struggled to find consistency in the regular season as a receiver. Now is the time for him to take the next step, and he's got the talent to do it.

Like that we got Thigpen. He's a quality returner with elite speed.

Huge re-signing by the Bombers. Are they the next 15 win team?

[doubleblue]

Hopefully Cleon Laing is also re-signed and they're waiting until tomorrow to announce it.

[doubleblue]

Well I see Pinball struck out on wee Willie, so that's going to save a good chunk towards the cap to spread around to other areas of need.
So hopefully Pinball hears my chant "build that line" "build that line" build that line".

The Bombers season depends on Collaros. If he goes down, Jefferson can’t make up the difference for terrible quarterbacking. Jefferson on Hamilton would have been a killer and almost guarantee a repeat to the final. That would have been the smartest move IMO.
