Perhaps the team could change it's name to The Edmonton Jones. Apparently Scott Milanovich has resigned today and is rumoured to be going to Indianapolis Colts, and meanwhile Chris Jones (apparently on the outs in Cleveland) has lickety-split tweeted he'd like to be back with EE! Hmm...

I'll sneak in this article link regards one-time OL Rob Murphy chatting with J. Hodge of 3DownN. Back in the day I had my reservations about Murphy's character, but he was a very good player for us -- though he didn't make TSN's official list of All-Time Lions. I enjoyed this read, mainly because of...

An interesting and likely realistic take on the Lions secondary -- suggesting Grymes is as good as gone, and exploring what the secondary might look like. https://3downnation.com/2021/01/22/farh ... secondary/

Hambone, I'm trying to take some comfort in your comments/views anticipating the Burnham negotiations ending well, but it is a little troubling to note Farhan's wording, characterizing the two sides as "currently not close". One would hope they wouldn't be too far apart any more at this po...

Indeed, just what I was thinking, B.C.FAN! Pretty incredible! All we need do is get the likes of Branden Dozier (almost certainly not affordable) back at safety and we're really smiling so far as the secondary goes. I suspect a National needs to fill that slot. Guzylak-Messam comes to mind, but he I...

I see (Matt Baker no doubt) has created a handy 'free agency' page, to scroll through signings/articles at a glance, on the Lions' website.

Side note; see that Adam Bighill has re-signed in the Peg for a rumored (Farhan Lalji) 115k. Huge adjustment!

A three-year contract got me wondering, and more than a little surprised when I saw that to be the case with the Marcus Sayles deal, simply because it's uncommon anymore... and as it happened I stumbled upon this recent Dave Naylor piece featuring some cogent thoughts/comments on the matter of curre...

I agree with our urgency when it comes to the D-Line. I was really hoping that the 1 year contracts that were signed for Casher, Brown, Junior Tavai, and of course Micah Johnson would be addressed. I suppose they still will be, but it seems somehow unlikely that all of them will be retained. Given ...

I so hate to agree with such a notion, Hambone, (i.e. that it might be argued that the D-line takes priority over Burnham!) since if we lost Mr. Burnham I think I might dress in the proverbial sack-cloth and ashes and weep for a full season... but what you point to is indeed the case it seems; i.e. ...

Merry Christmas and a happy (hoped for healthy) New Year to all you Lionbackers. Even without any Lions games it was real nice to still hear a few of your voices chiming in time to time. And here's hoping for a happy and healthy CFL also. If not quite there for 2021 in any normal way, then full-out ...

Chris O'Leary has written a nice little piece on McEvoy 's ascension through the ranks over on the Lions' site: https://www.bclions.com/2020/12/11/olea ... ons-co-gm/

Followup note -- should have mentioned "Global scouting" responsibilities for Geroy as well, alongside assisting Rigmaiden with aforementioned American scouting.

Looks like we've kinda' hijacked B.C.FAN's "free agency" thread, but since we're on this tangent -- here's (see link) the finalized football operations and coaching staff info for 2021 (minor staff change sees Danny O'Brien taking over running backs coach, after Beau Walker quit this past ...

You've just made my day with that bit of news, B.C.FAN! Torey Hunter IMO carried the sort of baggage we don't need, and having Ryan Rigmaiden return is a most welcome surprise (an early Christmas present from the team to us and to themselves, one might say) -- really encouraging! This is a strong mo...

Jake Scott was with our Leos only the one year (1969) but I remember his name very well. He went on to star in the NFL, initially with the Dolphins. He played flanker with us, and played safety and returner with the Dolphins. He was Super Bowl MVP one year. He died from head injuries due to a fall y...
