    Shaw is extended.

    Terms of the deal not disclosed. I think Shaw showed some great potential to do all 3 duties for years to come.

    I like this a lot. Given his age and development compared with long-term Canadian kickers in the CFL, he has the potential to solve our kicking problems down the road. As long as we're patient.

    Wonder what's up with McKnight...we paid a first-rounder plus for him. Maybe he's down the road already.
    Out of my mind; back in five minutes.

      That's a tough spot. I don't know how long his contract is for but I think it's for another year. Talk is he's taking a shot down south so the priudent thing to do is bite hard and keep him around for insurance of some sort and see how it shakes out

      The price paid is just horrendous

        Think anyone would give us a first rounder for him?!?!

          Like most of Tillman's (patoooie!) trades, it's one that we paid too much for. (McKnight I mean...not Shaw) Well, we did pay too much for Shaw but I think he's the one bright spot of that trade. Glad to hear he's going to be sticking around and a couple of tough ones aside, he did pretty good for us last year.

            McKnight is in the last year of his deal. When he was in Montreal, he was quoted as saying he'd like to go back and give the NFL another shot when his contract is up, so 2013 is probably it for McKnight in Green & Gold. Yet another thing to add to the "he did what???" list when potential employers are reviewing ET's terrible asset management.
            Hope, at the end of the day connects us all, no matter how different we are

                      That's WAYYYY to much for a kicker, while decent, is far from proven.

                      If true, what was Eddie thinking on this one?

                        @esksfans Seems high yes. Contract on potential. Likely handles all three kicking duties in 2013.

                          If the plan is to have him do all three jobs then compare that number to 2 guys making 65K or so a year then you have some potential savings. I would also guess he has some good insight into what a 3 position kicker garners in terms of fair market value

                            100K? If a kicker can get 100k ( a unproven not all star kicker at that ) then I fear what Sherritt can get.

                              100k is pretty damn high.... but IF he can do all 3 jobs fairly proficiently, then we would save some money over having 2 separate kickers... i agree though, its high for sure
