Lions sign OL Joel Figueroa
Roar you Lions roar!
He's the free-agent OL who makes the most sense for B.C. since he's a starting left tackle. That will likely allow Antonio Johnson to return to the right side, and Hunter Steward to remain at left guard. With Cody Husband at centre, the Lions should have a strong left side of the OL as they did in 2016 with Jovan Olafioye at left tackle.

For a reportedly $160,000 per season. Just wow.

I hope the Leos sign a free agent from a team other than Edmonton. Just to prove Hervey is not wearing blinders
After Adam Konar I hope.CardiacKid wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 10:06 amI hope the Leos sign a free agent from a team other than Edmonton. Just to prove Hervey is not wearing blinders
This team needs more local identity IMHO.

Derek Dennis has been released by Sask. Those big-time, recent pickups had to result in some previous big signings getting cast aside. I suspect the interior of their DLine will also get completely rebuilt with Steele, Mrabure and Minter not returning.
The Esks need help on the defensive line after trading away Odell Willis (now with B.C.) and releasing Phillip Hunt and Marcus Howard. I wish Bazzie well in Edmonton but I'd rather have Willis.
Not going to happen, unfortunately. He re-upped in Edmonton.David wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 10:23 amAfter Adam Konar I hope.CardiacKid wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 10:06 amI hope the Leos sign a free agent from a team other than Edmonton. Just to prove Hervey is not wearing blinders

Would be nice to sign Derek Dennis. He's been arguably the best lineman in the CFL the past couple years.

A.C. Leonard is heading to the RedBlacks (I thought he was a potential fit with the Leos as a defensive end) and Zac Evans is heading back to the Riders from Ottawa.
Not happy about that last move....

No argument in 2016. Much argument in 2017 where he lost his starting LT job to Campbell.The_Pauser wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 11:00 amWould be nice to sign Derek Dennis. He's been arguably the best lineman in the CFL the past couple years.
You're as old as you've ever been and as young as you're ever going to be.

Rider Nation needs a collective cigarette. A bunch of loads were just blown over that move.CardiacKid wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 11:00 amZac Evans is heading back to the Riders from Ottawa.
