Ok, so what are the Lions up to? They have also announced Quincy Mauger and practice roster RB Vance McShane have been released.

With Edwards-Cooper possibly gone and Lee hurt there are not exactly a lot of options in the secondary right now.

For what it's worth PPF graded Baron 3rd in the league last season among all defensive linemen behind Betts and Montreal's Mustafa Johnson, https://www.cfl.ca/2023/11/01/player-grades-powered-by-pff-who-finished-2023-on-top/ BC FAN is right in the Lions signed him for huge dollars heading into the 2...

Have to admit I didn't see this one coming. By all accounts had a very solid season. Due a $30,000 bonus on Feb. 14. What are the Lions thinking here? Maybe better run defence options with stop gap vets Sewell or Micah Johnson? https://3downnation.com/2024/02/09/b-c-lions-release-veteran-dl-woody-ba...

Shiltz has a chance to be QB1A in Calgary, so I understand his decision. The bright side is that he might leave a bit more money on the table for the Lions to retain Betts and Edwards-Cooper. I think the Stamps will need that this season. If Montreal has no interest in Betts, then it's likely as Fa...

Whoa! According to Farhan the Lions offered Oliveira a three-year escalating deal starting at $250,000 and it took Bombers president Wade Miller’s involvement to ultimately keep him in Winnipeg.
That must have been money allocated for Betts right?

The Bombers signed Shoen to a one year deal. They must be razor thin on their salary cap margin. So the Bombers find the room to give Oliveira about $125,0000 raise and lockdown Schoen too when he was coming off his rookie deal with reports he was worth at least $250,000 on the open market? He must...

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...

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...

BOOM! 3 Down Nation reporting the Lions have signed William Stanback.

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?

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...
