Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

We have reportedly loss our first free agent. Good for Jalen as I don't think the Lions were going to match that number. Dan Ralph CP: Wow, now hearing that DB Jalon Edwards-Cooper has agreed in principle to a one-year deal with Saskatchewan worth $128,000 in hard money. That makes him one of the hi...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Farhan Lalji TSN: Big signing for the #BCLions who had made a significant offer to Brady Oliveira. Stanback has a great relationship with Vernon Adams & will be a sizeable upgrade to BC’s rushing attack. A 1 year deal. @CFLonTSN Wow! So were the Lions and Riders in a bidding war with the Bomber...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Farhab seemed to think Hladik would sign with the Riders. Will they have any money left with the amount they have spent the past couple of days.

Could the Ti-Cats be now looking at Hladik to replace Thurman while they try to land Betts too?

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

We have heard very little about Hladik and what are his possible destinations. With Awe being a FA would the Stamps consider borrowing a page from BC and going all-national at LB, joining Cameron Judge. The Elks? Riders? Back east? Since Woods re-signed for $125,000 and Lokombo has re-structured for...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Looking at the CFL transactions list, it appears that Vernon Adams, Garry Peters and TJ Lee have all renegotiated. Interesting. McElvoy/Campbell wanting extra leverage as 5 of their starters are about to at least hit Sunday’s FA negotiation window including arguably two of their top three nationals...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Chris Streveler has reportedly signed a one-year contract in Winnipeg for $120,000, so he is off the market. That’s a big ADD for the Bombers. Buck will have plenty of fun making use of his skillset again as a change of pace from Collaros. He probably throws the ball a whole lot better too thanks t...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Twitter: Farhan Lalji TSN The Woods deal is around 125k for the coming season. Surprisingly team friendly IMO. Restructured Lokombo deal at similar numbers. Doesn’t close the door on a potential return for Hladik, but I expect him to explore options. BC also very high on Varga Hladik's name didn't ...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Perhaps of bigger concern to Lionbackers and the Lions is the other news that just came out of Montreal. They just lost NAT DE Lwal Uguak to Tampa Bay of the NFL. It's hard to guess if that means they have greater need for somebody like Betts or if the lack of other NAT DL depth for backup purposes...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Lions take care of another key FA with a two-year extension for Josh Woods. No word yet on the amount of money but for certain a significant raise coming off his entry level deal. Now it gets interesting with Hladik still unsigned and Bo Lokombo due a bonus on Thursday. He was the league's 8th highe...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

I think the deal with Mathieu Betts is there are offers that the Lions can wait for the negotiating window to open before having to make their offer. Probably most of the big names are in that spot. Most probably know what is going to happen already. Perhaps not a popular move but .... Lions could ...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

I have the feeling that Edmonton would offer Betts the crazy money ($300K) to go back there. I do believe he wants to stay in BC from interviews I heard last year, so I am hopeful that $260K-$265K + incentives would get it done. DH :cool: You never know with the Elks. How can we forget BC offering ...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Some good insight on how the Betts/BC negotiations currently stand from Farhan. Betts wants to be the highest paid national in the league. That status currently belongs to Ottawa's Drew Desjarlais ($265,000) but Betts' agent's initial starting point was north of $300,000. Farhan added he doesn't see...

A pretty decent podcast interview with Rick Campbell who gives an update where the Lions are as free agency nears. Says there are six more players they would still like to re-sign among their 15 remaining FAs. Of course a back-up QB will be #1 on their shopping list if nothing happens sooner. https:...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Didn't realize we saved significant salary on the hasty Jonathan Kongbo trade (for a 1st Rd draft pick) and now Hamilton is contemplating whether to pick up the second year after a underwhelming 2023 season. I guess that's what it took to lure him back to the CFL and of course the release of Shawn L...
