Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Taylor Cornelius released today by the Elks. Could he be of interest to the Lions to back-up VA with the opportunity to develop his passing game further working under OC Jordan Maksymic? Could also be our short yardage specialist which he did until the end of the season in Edmonton. Elks also releas...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Today marks the day NFL teams can start signing CFL players to futures deals. Atlanta has signed outstanding Alouettes' receiver Austin Mack. We may soon know the fate of the likes of Betts and Woods and any other Leos who have been getting workouts. What a great story Mack was after the then cash ...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

A nice article tonight from JC Abbott on the tough financial decisions at linebacker looming for the Lions. They have got tremendous value over the last three years at the positions starting with Jordin Williams' rookie of the year season in 2021. Now how much are they willing to spend if they want ...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

The Lions have re-signed DE Sione Teuhema through 2025. https://www.bclions.com/2024/01/03/sione-teuhema-remains-with-lions-through-2025-season/ Hovering outside my top 5 priorities (Betts, Cottoy, Hladik, Hatcher, Hollins) who is an important part of the core developed by the Lions.

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

The one name that I didn't offer up 2 posts ago and intrigues me as perhaps being the purrfect fit as Adams' backup and veteran presence for a Grey Cup hosting year is......Jeremiah Masoli. Before anybody lights the torches hear me out. I fully understand the injury baggage he brings. However we're...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

The question of whether Dane Evans would re-sign in BC was answered today when he announced he retiring from football via his Instagram account.

Will be interesting to see where the Lions go from here and how much they are willing to spend on a back-up QB.

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Dan Ralph of the Canadian Press says he’s heard the Lions have re-signed Terry Williams. Ralph appears to be getting info fed to him from Florida based agent Kenny Kim who represents a number of CFL players. Given what Campbell/McElvoy are facing in the new year with a full salary cap to work with ...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

I thought one of the Lions strengths early in the season last year was the play of the secondary. With the injury to TJ Lee I expect Marcus Sayles to be a priority signing. Likewise Edwards-Cooper. Lawrence Woods does have some versatility to his game and may come in handy but not sure I see him as...

This came into effect for the 2020 season. From the CBA: (b) Global Players All Globals will be required to sign a minimum 2 + 1 first con...

Re: Twas The Night Before Xmas

More brilliant stuff Blitz!! Always get a chuckle will the Wally references and let's all hope a balanced attack is on the Lions wish list.
Merry Christmas to all Lionbackers and especially Derek for his many years keeping this site up and running to share our thoughts on our favourite team.

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

“Priority number one is to sign our own free agents, which we’ve been already working on that. It’s kind of a fluid situation. It’s only mid-December and there’s a lot of things at play as far as either guys going to free agency or the NFL window or all those things, but we’ll continue to try to re...

Re: 2024 B.C. Lions Schedule

Does the league put any thought into what last year's schedule looked like? Second straight year we play the Bombers twice in Winnipeg. And we are the only Western team to be doing so. Just makes it that much harder trying to chase down first place as we already know 1 win will be needed at IG to ta...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Als GM Danny Maciocia getting some nice December work done with extensions for key mid-season defence additions and pending FAs — Shawn Lemon and Darnell Sankey. Both deals got done after Fajardo agreed to a re-structured extension that freed up cap space. Have to feel good for Lemon who just keeps ...
