#BCLions gm Wally Buono admits he does not have a solid CFL back-up qb - that's why he has held talks with Ottawa about Kevin Glenn.
@News1130Sports ·Asking price for Glenn is high but Bouno says he'll keep talking with Ottawa.
Ottawa GM Marcel Desjardins said this week that the Redblacks need to strengthen their defesive back and linebacker positions, in particular, and there are no free agents that fit the bill at a reasonable price.
It makes no sense to RedBlacks GM Marcel Desjardins to fork out big bucks to players who don’t provide enough return on the field to justify the whopping salaries.
“We could have signed more CFL-type free agents,” said Desjardins. “But for the money they’d be commanding, we didn’t feel it was appropriate. In some cases, we had players at the same position who we feel are just as capable.”
“We’re always trying to find players, not only to get to our roster number, but also to get better,” said Desjardins. “We still need to shore up our defensive back and linebacker positions and maybe also, to some extent, defensive end.”
