Well the buzz in Saskatchewan is all about Weston Dressler.  Cut by the Kansas City Chiefs and waived through the National Football League, Dressler has about ten options in front of him.
Option number 1 - wait a couple of weeks and see if any other NFL team will come calling or
Options 2 - 10 - sign with any of the nine Canadian Football League teams.  So far we are told that Saskatchewan RoughRiders have extended an offer to Dressler…however some say it is short of the $250K reportedly being offered by the Ottawa RedBlacks.  The problem for the Riders is apparently quarterback Darian Durant is making somewhere between $250 and $300K.  So if you add Dressler in at about $250K, what do you do when guys like Chris Getzlaff or Ty Brackenridge come calling for a significant raise.  To my mind if Dressler wants $250K and is determined that it is all that or nothing, best let him go to Ottawa.  One wide receiver does not a whole team make.


Regarding Dressler, "I think there will be some pretty lofty offers for him and it all depends on how a team is set with the salary cap. He's gonna command top dollar. I also don't know if either he or Hall will come back right away. A lot of these guys when they commit the time and energy to try the NFL they don't want to jump right back in the CFL because so much can happen with injuries and they might get another shot in the NFL."    Mike O’Shea Bomber coach
“We’re going to wait until after the final round of cuts this weekend and then try and see if we can find a practice-roster spot on another team around here somewhere,” Gaydosh said. “If not, after a week of waiting, I’ll be going up to Hamilton.”  Linden Gaydosh defensive tackle & 1stoverall pick in the 2013 NFL draft cut by Carolina Panthers

 “You’ve been around me enough to know I’m a very confident individual,”. “We put the work in throughout the week and we grind. We’re confident and we know we can make plays and put us in position to win a game.”  Tino Sunseri on replacing Darian Durant
Wins) all count the same in the regular season," "but you see the way the West Division is shaping up... To get back on that winning track and just basically get us going as a team in that second half and get some momentum going into Saskatchewan is big for us.
