I'm hearing speculation that it's $110,000 and that they won't go after a marquee QB as Jones thinks those have guys coming in who will let him make a big free-agency splash instead (non-QBs).

Jones is a trainwreck.
Wait until the Riders get off to an 0-5 start, then fleece him in a trade for Franklin.

Hervey: "Hey, Chris. It's Swerve. Remember when you blew your wad on Carter and now you have no one who can get him the ball?"
Jones: "Shut up. The fans started booing in Q3 of game 4."
EH: "Saw that. They'll be delivering a load of manure any day now."
CJ: "Oh crap."
EH: "Good one, Chris. Mired in a losing streak and you still have your sense of humour. I admire that. Hey, remember when you offered that first-round draft choice and those two roster players for Franklin and I said I'd wait until you were desperate? Are you desperate yet?"
CJ: "Hey, help a buddy out here?"
EH: "Well...there was that time that you took all of my coaches to Regina? How's that working out for you?"
CJ: "Don't gloat. What do you want for Franklin?"
EH: "I'll take your first-rounders this year and next, that Canadian O-lineman we talked about and those two defensive back-fielders. The Argos are interested so don't think too long. You're 0-5 and the price goes up with every loss."
CJ: "**** off!" (hangs up)
EH: (looks at watch.) "He'll call back. I give him five minutes."

You just said you didn't want the Grey Cup because of the high ticket price. Them said you were willing to pay the price to see it.

seriously, buddy?
that conversation was over a month ago, so you're late to the party. we've all moved on.
on topic, I'd consider taking back Chambers at a reasonable price.
depends of what they want to do with Getzlaf, I suppose.

Short asked Hervey about the whole CFL vs. NFL. Hervey quickly deflected, but did say something that was a breath of fresh air to hear.
Pretty much said that the one thing he'd change in both sports is the reviews. Said it's taking away from the flow far too much.
Doubtful anything comes of it, but at least we know someone understands the problem.

Only way I'd take Chambers back is on a bargain basement price. Other than his magical 4 catch GC game where he caught lightning in a bottle, he's really done very little in his time in the CFL other than be a decoy and rehab himself from various injuries. A big disappointment considering where he was taken in the draft and the expectations.
Agreed. I'd rather have one game every few years blown by a bad call rather than every game less interesting because of constant reviews.

And then to throw a damper on the Bowman signing, Hervey completely loses his mind and signs Marcel Young to a 3 year extension. OMG. Out kickoff return team is going to be busy again this year.

3 years? must be for a low dollar value, then.
not a huge fan, but maybe it's a sign and trade to the riders? (lol. a guy can hope)

Where's the next group coming from - an old folks home?
If you don't think a guy is good enough anymore, then why do you even bother to do all the paper work to sign him? If you DO think he's still good enough, then I am truly concerned...
Instead of wasting time getting a contract worked out for Young, use that time and energy to get some real cover guys.
