I'm hoping they will be busy before 9am with a few more signings of their own pending FAs like Micah Awe, Bo Lokombo, Shaq Johnson, DeVier Posey and maybe Anthony Thompson and Ivan McLennan.JohnnyMusso wrote: ↑Mon Feb 11, 2019 11:05 pmI am setting this up for tomorrow.

Dan Ralph is reporting that Duron Carter will be joining the Lions.
Yay........
If this removes Posey from the equation, then colour me pissed.

I love this guy! He's CFL, Canada and fan and media friendly and I take the word of Kevin Glenn and Nik Lewis as to what kind of team mate he is.CardiacKid wrote: ↑Tue Feb 12, 2019 6:06 amDan Ralph is reporting that Duron Carter will be joining the Lions.

Like other players I have coached personally, he's a guy who needs to be involved in the game and he's not exactly been in situations where he was involved.
Interesting that the rumour he'd be targeted by BC was out there quite some time ago. It's a small league and those who follow it full time seem to have good sources.

Tweet from Brian Ramsay of the CFLPA. My read of this does not preclude players signing contracts, but it is vague enough to raise the question. Of course, the CFLPA cannot stop a player from signing a contract if they want to, but strange that the PA is putting out this wording so close to FA Day.

Today, we asked that CFL players not participate in any events or activities with the CFL office until we conclude bargaining. We’ve done this because the players have voiced a number of concerns related to respect and fair treatment this off-season.

Dave Naylor is saying that Argos have not given anyone permission to talk to Carter. Will this lead to "tampering" charges??CardiacKid wrote: ↑Tue Feb 12, 2019 6:06 amDan Ralph is reporting that Duron Carter will be joining the Lions.

I really think that the CFL should allow a 2-3 day "window" for teams to discuss FA with players prior to the actual start. Other leagues allow this. It makes sense to me.

Lions morning rumours:
In addition to agreeing to terms with Duron Carter, the Lions are reportedly expected to finalize a contract with OL- Sukh Chungh. Furthermore, we are apparently also in on Micah Johnson, Willie Jefferson, and Derel Walker.
Things are going to get exciting.
Edmonton also rumoured to be signing Trevor Harris, Greg Ellingson, and Sirvincent Rogers.

Carter lashes back at a fan who called him a cancer:
Have you ever been in a locker room??? Kelly, my guy! If I was a cancer, I would be out the league like every other cancer... or that I’m just soooo good, people are willing to pay me to F up their team come on now.
He should have just stayed quiet. Fans will always express their opinion good or bad. It is life. Deal with it.

Now, we're in the calm before the storm... while teams pretend as if they don't already have signed contracts and were tampering their asses off. This typically lasts from 45 minutes to an hour #CFLFA

Hearing Sukh Chung to BC is likely to get done. Duron Carter as well as has been reported. Aaron Grimes may be heading to BC as well. Hervey as expected being aggressive in making improvements today beyond Reilly.

Getting Grimes would be great. That guy is really good. Not a fan of Carter coming. He comes with a lot of baggage. Rather keep Manny over Carter.

It's who he is. I don't see that as lashing out but stating facts.JohnnyMusso wrote: ↑Tue Feb 12, 2019 9:24 amCarter lashes back at a fan who called him a cancer:

Fans in Regina line up with stories on how Carter treated their child - over and over its a story of skeptics converted by his kindness to those who can nothing for him.
Nik Lewis was his team mate. Nik's a Lion offensive coach. Sheesh even Nik has confessed that he was a bit like these young guys are these days.
The new GM knows talent. He needs to change the product and the narrative about the Lions that was getting stale in this market extending back to Wally turning the reigns to Mike Benevides and then returning when so much of the talk and marketing of the top QB whose got injury issues wasn't getting fans in seats.

Reilly, Carter add some buzz to the mix and now you'll see the real Burnham as Reilly is a very REC friendly and added targets like Carter is good for BC. Esks and Stamps have been stocked at the REC position for a reason - these guys go to the NFL or get banged up. I'm hoping BC gets known for these top receivers.

If the Lions ink Jefferson, that is massive in my books. He would FA signing 1A to Reilly’s 1.
