Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

This from 3D Nation in the article on Edwards-Cooper agreeing to terms with the Riders: "Pending free agents can negotiate with teams across the league during the current window, which closes on Feb. 11. Players can agree to terms on a contract with a particular team for 2024, however, these de...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

The Stanback signing is great as long as the Lions decide to finally get serious about a running game. The fact that they went hard after Oliveira indicates that indeed they might have come around to realizing that without a strong running attack they aren't going anywhere in the playoffs.

Re: Alex Bazzie - Some guys aren't so bright.

Bazzie should have retired from football and moved to California where retail theft under $900USD is legal....Some States aren't so bright either.

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

I am hoping that for Betts, being coached on the D line by John Bowman is what will be the deciding factor in staying in B.C., with the prospect of repeating his spectacular 2023 again in 2024. It is not always about $ as sometimes it's about where you can preform at your best.

Re: Should CFL teams retire numbers of stars?

Tenure as a qualification for honouring a player be it Hof, # retired, Ring of Honour, is a tricky one with the CFL. Cam Wake only played 3 years in the CFL before having a stellar NFL Career. Mervyn Fernandez only played 5 years in the CFL before heading to the NFL, and 6 stellar NFL seasons. Warre...

Re: Should CFL teams retire numbers of stars?

Cromartie, which #9 are you talking about, Roy Dewalt or Damon Allen? I favour Dewalt as I was never all that big of an Allen fan. IMO, Allen's claim to fame was his super long career which enabled him to amass impressive career stats. But in reality, for most of his career there were other QBs who ...

Re: Should CFL teams retire numbers of stars?

I'm with Irvin on this retiring numbers is counter productive. OTOH I didn't know Jim Brown had passed away in 2023 until I watched a Browns game on TSN and all the Browns players had a "32" patch on their jerseys.

Wouldn't Strevler make more money and be a starter in the USFL vs a CFL backup?

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

And the Lions spending spree on their key receivers concludes with a new 3-year contract for Jevon Cottoy. Farhan tweeted yesterday his new deal is north of $200,000 per season. A very productive week for Mr. McElvoy and Mr. Campbell. https://www.bclions.com/2024/01/17/three-more-years-for-big-cat-...

Re: Lions release Rhymes

No wonder Rhymes was so cordial in his departure from BC after being asked to take a paycut. He is now making more money after agreeing to a 2-year deal with Ottawa. Dan Ralph @danralphcp That was quick. Hearing WR Dominique Rhymes has agreed to terms on 2-yr deal with Ott. Rhymes and BC mutually p...

Re: Lions release Rhymes

Rhymes' release initially surprised me but on further evaluation: Last season Lions had the best receiving corps in the CFL when everyone is healthy. It takes a lot of SMS $ to pay 5 or 6 receivers what they are worth and leaves other player groups under funded, so I am thinking Rhymes is a SMS vict...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Fairly big trade with Ceresna going to the Argos for Gittens Jr. Possible fallout from the Chad Kelly deal with maybe some input from Bethel Thompson. Potentially curbs an appetite the Elks may have had for Jevon Cottoy. Also says someone is not returning from the Argo D line. Stay tuned. Jones wen...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Don't expect the Lions to enter the bidding for a starting free-agent running back. Co-GM Neil McEvoy says the Lions are banking on Taquan Mizzell blossoming in his second year in the league, and he particularly likes the way Mizzell blocked for Vernon Adams. “I felt that he had a lot of good games...

If Lions can pull it off re-sign both Hladik and Woods and move Lokombo to Free Safety.

Re: Dane Evans Retires

Interesting that Evans wants to coach. Guys who are backup QBs for most of their career are like coaches in training. Observing from the sidelines and being privy to the play calling is great preparation for coaching. Current prominent examples of backup QB to successful HC in a short period of time...
