Masoli would be fantastic and really only Ottawa and potentially Edmonton would be in the market for MBT or Brown since the Riders are running with Trevor Harris. Personally I think the Elks should just ride with Ford.Hambone wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 4:52 pmThe one name that I didn't offer up 2 posts ago and intrigues me as perhaps being the purrfect fit as Adams' backup and veteran presence for a Grey Cup hosting year is......Jeremiah Masoli.
Before anybody lights the torches hear me out. I fully understand the injury baggage he brings. However we're not looking for an every game and every down starter. We're looking for somebody to step in for a few reps here and there and maybe pinch hit for a start or two. I think Ottawa will move on either with an MBT or the kids Adams and Crum along with possibly Brown. They will have a decision to make in 2 weeks when a $100K roster bonus comes due. Other than that he has proven himself as a starter and brings an impeccable reputation as a true pro, leader and team first team mate. If Ottawa does cut him loose I think he can be had for a deal very similar to Evans last year.
The Lions sure got a sweet deal on Evans re-structured contract. No way was he playing for that this coming season. Throw in Davis' salary as well towards a #2 QB as it's probably time we develop our own Tommy Stevens or Dakota Prukop instead of paying a 35-year-old to do it at not even a great level.
11) Dane Evans, B.C. Lions (A)
Hard money: $94,000 Maximum value: $151,000
Evans takes a $300,000-plus pay cut from what he made with the Tiger-Cats last year after a season marred by turnovers, including a league-high 16 interceptions. The 29-year-old reworked his contract for a trade to the west coast to fit in as a backup to Vernon Adams Jr. He’ll get $10,000 for playing one percent of any offensive, defensive or special teams play. If he’s forced into a starting role, Evans can earn $2,000 per game for playing 51 percent of all the offensive plays.
13) Dominique Davis, B.C. Lions (A)
Hard money: $90,000 Maximum value: $143,000
The seven-year veteran will collect a $2,000 bonus each time he starts and plays more than 51 percent of B.C.’s offensive snaps in a game and another $10,000 bonus if he plays 1 percent of an offensive, defensive or specials teams snaps over the course of the season. He received a $5,000 signing bonus to join the Lions following a one-year stint with the Als.
