Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

A couple of curious things about Morrow. Calgary did have concerns about his wrist at free agency time. That was 3 months ago and they still haven't circled back. Currently their RB room is loaded with mostly NAT fullbacks. They still have Mills and Logan but Logan is their premiere returner. They ...

Re: Shawn Lemon Appeals His Gambling Suspension

Mike O'Shea usually does a good job of staying away from making public statements but it seems the Bombers are being fairly outspoken regarding off season developments this year. All good in Winnipeg though and they really didn't know Andrew Harris was taking a supplement to enhance his virility. I ...

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

Every GM has to look at these FA decisions on a case by case basis. What needs are they trying to fill and what sort of priority did they place on them. Having been willing to let Carey go to make room for Mills Calgary had to be looking at more as depth/insurance behind Mills. Whether they got him...

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

Regarding taking a physical as a free agent in the process of signing with a new team, Jamal Morrow was one with a lingering issue that stopped Calgary from signing him. Not saying the Riders were not aware of J.E-C issue.

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

If Riders were to put Edwards-Cooper on the 6 game IR, they would have to pay him but it would not count against the SMS. By releasing him they may have just said something like: we have already paid you $20k, don't move to Regina just yet but call us when the shoulder is 100%. I keep forgetting re...

Did the Lions know Edwards-Cooper's shoulder injury was still lingering, so they didn't re-sign him in Free Agency? And then the Riders give him a signing bonus without checking his shoulder????
Good thing they did not re-new Craig Dickenson cause everyone else is a genius.

Re: League Thows The Book at Chad Kelly

Thinking a homophobic slur should be treated in a similar fashion if the CFL is looking to set a precedent but that might something they have no interest in. Time for Randy Ambrosie to go imo. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1125305/gold-coast-suns-defender-wil-powell-cops-five-game-ban-for-homophobic-s...

Re: League Thows The Book at Chad Kelly

Interesting comments by Jim Barker on the Rod Pederson show about the Argos also doing an investigation as well as commenting on Chris Edwards who jumped a fence and punched a fan to only get 6 games then reduced to 3. I can only assume the fan Edwards punched was not a woman.

Re: League Thows The Book at Chad Kelly

I don't know how you missed it DC. The Argos WERE also named in the lawsuit. Just last week they filed a statement of defence. I stand corrected and thank you Hambone. What confused me is that the CFL announced disciplinary measures to only to Kelly and not the team. Sad state of affairs and the la...

Re: Training camp 2024

Great report BC FAN. Thank you for taking the time. It reminds me of the old days of beat reporters and reading the sports section of the newspaper. Sad there is so little coverage these days. My thought is the Lions knew making the changes they made at receiver could be a point of controversy so th...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Would be nice if they added "Cap Hit" to the 3DN articles on player remuneration. It looks to me like Brady Oliveira comes in at $180,000 rather than the $230,000 total package. No mention of Kadeem Carey similar to Dakota Prukop makes me think they did their best with the information they...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Nik's will be a bit busy. He'll be at Stampeders training camp whipping the receivers into shape. He's heading into his 2nd season as Stampeders' Receivers Coach. Calgary's passing attack underperformed last year but they do have a stacked receiving corp. I have no doubt Nik Lewis is happy where he...

Re: League Thows The Book at Chad Kelly

Good analysis Toppy. I'm looking forward to the training camp reports soon and hope the Kamloops weather and air quality is up to snuff in order for all to enjoy. A last comment for me on the Chad Kelly story has me wondering why it was only Kelly and not the Argos being named as defendants. Conspir...
