have put in offers for Dressler..... and the report coming out of the CFL is that 2 teams have put in offers that Dressler and his camp are looking over and a decision is coming shortly.
Winnipeg and Edmonton are the leading candidates. It's being reported that also DE Alex Hall is deciding on Winnipeg, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia.

word on street is #redblacks could go as high as 250 k for Dressler. #riders don't have that cap room.
if this is about cash he could move
The Riders are not sitting Chick nor National Foley for Hall
The Bombers and ORBs are reportedly willing to offer 250K for Dressler. Being close to his family is important to Dressler, so Sask and Bombers are instantly front runners
Idunno…he is familiar with Willy, that is a perk. It is not like the Bombers wouldn’t love to have him. If there is a huge discrepancy in offers…ya never know.
The Riders allowed Dressler out of his contract early so he could go to the NFL. Chances are they made a verbal agreement that the Riders would have first dibs. I'd be shocked to see him go anywhere else.
Not to be picky,but shouldn’t the title of this thread be… “6 teams offer Weston Dressler—(2 teams likely)”??
plus maybe also a link would be nice to back up your claim,even though I and everyone else in here realize that you are a insider with all the scoops that are fit to print,a link now and then would be kind of nice once in awhile.Just saying is all
And once again…Link please ? Just who exactly is this Local Sports guy in Winnipeg that you speak of ? Just saying is all… :roll:
Again !!! Not that I don’t believe you or anything,what with you being the main source of insider information in
here,with all your connections and all and being soooo much smarter and informative than everybody else that posts in here…
I mean surely you can reveal your source…can’t you ? was it Joe the bartender ? Sam the Butcher ? Ed the Barber ?
your next door neighbor Fred ? Come on Beach boy you can tell us…can’t you ??? :lol: :cowboy: :roll:
No such thing as first dibs, this is not a kids league. Do you think Dressler would play for say $50k less because he had a verbal agreement or the Riders shouted “first dibs”?
My prediction he will sign with Ottawa and Rider fans will be upset then a day later they will be saying “well he couldn’t make it in the NFL because he lost a step or two, good thing we didn’t sign him”
Nothing will happen until the final cuts are made and teams can evaluate available players, however a Cleveland radio station reported this morning that the Browns may be interested in Dressler.
I can't find anything to confirm this and during this "cut time" there are a lot of "what ifs" going around.
If that happens he will have lost a lot more than a step or 2. He will have lost his marbles. What self respecting pro player would want to not win a game for the next 3 years let alone be on a team that has little hope of scoring an offensive touchdown for that period? :lol:
