Good signing. They have some injuries in their REC corps so he’ll help immediately.

Yes they do, Addison and Acklin both out this week from the looks of it.
Bailey looks like a good signing.
It would seem he would make a good addition in that defences need to decide who to double cover him or Hardy.

I think the Bombers were hamstrung by the cap. Also, they’re getting Wolitarksky back (according to him) for Labour Day, Kenny Lawler has remarkably remained uninjured and Adam Bighill is coming back off the 6 Game IR. Why is Bighill important to Rasheed Bailey? No more salary savings w/ Biggy coming back - he’s in at around $233k to $249k, about $15,000 a game.

I think in this case we can safely say it was a Bokyle

Reading Bailey’s CV, he’s a rarity at age 31 with low mileage in play with considerable professional training, such that I figure he’s a young 31 for a pro football player.

I also did not know that he is from right here in Philadelphia.

Bighill’s salary is actually $140,000 with another $25,000 in incentives which I believe was paid out as a bonus in January. So $165,000 max.

None. Winnipeg is probably at or over the top of the cap…
