Barring a generational talent, you prioritize building from the trenches out. Always. That’s conventional CFL wisdom but it hasn’t worked for the Lions, who have had little success when they used high draft picks on O-linemen. The only national linemen on the roster who they have drafted or develop...

The Lions selected two punters in today’s CFL Global draft, Carl Meyer from South Africa and Tory Taylor from Australia. https://www.bclions.com/2024/04/30/lions-grab-k-p-carl-meyer-p-tory-taylor-in-global-draft/ No disrespect to Stefan Flintoft, but using a designated American roster spot for a pu...

With the CFL draft set to begin Tuesday at 5 p.m., a number of prospects have likely fallen down the draft board due to NFL interest. Hulking UBC OT Giovanni Manu was drafted in the fourth round by the Detroit Lions , while UBC teammate Theo Benedet signed an undrafted free-agent contract with the ...

It just got rockier. NE took a 2nd QB in the 6th round with Joe Milton III of Tennessee. They have 5 in the room now. Talking heads in NFL Network are speculating that Zappe will be traded. There could be a market for a team thinking of him as a #2 over their incumbents. Damn and I thought it was h...

By your logic on Mace, could be Sask will be players in F.A. again next year. If none of their 4 others get playing time it will be the same as this year. Just me but I 6 game Trevor Harris asap and see what I have while saving as much SMS as possible only they gave him a big bonus. It's a nice sto...

He is seen as needing to fix some holes in his game and at 21, he will be developed this year. Yes, he may dress for all games, but I could see the Pats dressing 3 QB's for the early part of the season which could be positive for Rourke, assuming that he is the #3. I'm not seeing them dressing 3. H...

Jones had a good rookie season with the Pats but went downhill soon after. Maybe he was not developed by coaching. Maybe he was resistant to coaching. The Pats seem to be preaching the "development now" mantra with Maye. Rourke could still play a role and get playing time even with pressu...

Many are looking forward to seeing Dolegala throw the ball but I personally don't see him getting a lot of game day reps with V.A. being the starter barring injury. Could be more succession planning at this point with Dolegala being only 27 and Adams 31. I believe Dakota Prukop will be the busier o...

Just an observation on all the factors that can lead to going over the SMS. Winnipeg went over this year by $25947. With first locked up they chose to rest 10 starters for their final regular season game. Those 10 all spent the final game on the 1G counting against the SMS. In the meantime 10 others...

Nice to see the Riders not going over the cap for a change. It's been a while for them. They busted it 4 times in the first 7 years of the SMS but have managed to keep their noses clean since the 2013 season. Despite not being busted for the past 10 seasons they still hold the record for most viola...

No mention of Beau Baldwin being added to the Calgary coaching staff with yesterdays football ops announcement. Could be it wasn't high enough on the pecking order to be mentioned although I thought it was a step in the right direction for Jake Maier when they announced it a few months back. Things...

I was wondering which injury or event pushed the Lions over but can't recall an extended stay on the one game that would have caused the issue. Couldn't find it but thought Dom Rhymes was moved to the six game list which would have made even more space given his contract. Even V.A. was on a team fr...

Going to the Lions amongst 3D's reported highest paid players by position here's the salaries, bonuses and bonuses earned as best as I could ascertain: ADAMS: Hard Money $285K, Max Value $350K, Potential performance bonuses $65K, Earned $60K. EVANS: Hard $94K, Max $151K, Potential bonuses $57K, Earn...
