Re: 2021 CFL free agency
Re Burnham, I wonder if Campbell prefers Ellingson and so is not too concerned about letting Burnham walk. Ellingson was one of the most consistent receivers in the league during their time together. People like to surround themselves with people they know and trust. That's a great point maxlion an...

Re: 2021 CFL free agency
I 'm a little perplexed to see what the hold up is on a new deal for Burnham unless it has to do with length of contract or signing bonus. He made $205,000 last year and the Lions just gave Durant $175,000 on his re-structured deal. So somewhere in between seems like the landing spot with $190,000 g...

Re: 2021 CFL free agency
Great and somewhat surprising news on Ladler. However, Farhan tweeting Lions likely will not be re-signing Micah Johnson and he was to anchor the new look d-line.

Re: 2021 CFL free agency
Farhan Lalji discussed free agency and contract renegotiations with Derek Taylor on Sports Cage Wednesday. Of B.C. interest, he mentioned that Lemar Durant’s new $175,000 contract and Derel Walker’s $180,000 deal in Edmonton help set the market for Bryan Burnham. He also said the Lions are in “tens...

Re: 2021 CFL free agency
The Lions have confirmed the signing of former Winnipeg DB Marcus Sayles to a three-year contract. Sayles played boundary HB for the Bombers in 2019 and was a CFL West Division all-star. He spent most of the 2020 season on the Minnesota Vikings practice squad so he was not on the list of pending CF...

Re: Mike Reilly, Lemar Durant restructure contracts
Waiting somewhat anxiously on Burnham re-signing and Sukh Chungh agreeing to restructure his $250,000 per season deal. That has to be coming right?

Re: Post David Braley era - what comes next?
Great segment here with former longtime beat writer Lowell Ullrich joining Sekeres and Price. God I miss his coverage, even more so in these uncertain times for the team and league. LU is very concerned about the Leos’ future: https://www.tsn.ca/radio/vancouver-1040/ullrich-the-cfl-has-a-great-oppor...

RIP David Braley
Via Tom Mayenecht on Twitter: David Braley made the CFL a huge part of his life. And he was a huge part of the CFL. Especially the BC Lions. #RIPdavidbraley More sad news the Lions and CFL simply don't need right now. The man provided this franchise decades of stability. So what's next with the club...

Re: Ed Hervey leaves Lions for "personal reasons"
My first thought was if it was a family matter why not initially request a leave of absence then resign if it's going to be long term? I'm sure he could have stepped away for a couple of months at this time of year. You can't help but wonder if it's another opportunity south of the border given no c...

Re: Speculation is over. No season in 2020.
As a complete side note, does anyone else besides me think that it is bloody strange that virtually every other sports stadium/arena in North America has naming rights but not BC Place? It's a crown corp yes, but it's not exactly making money hand over fist from what I hear. They can use all the re...

Re: COVID-19 : How it could impact Lions/CFL
What will the long-term damage be to the BOG throwing an entire season away (no exposure, storylines, viewership, disruption to routines etc.). Will some have discovered other things to take the place of the CFL? Sure, there will be "pent up demand" from the diehards. What about casual sp...

Re: Speculation is over. No season in 2020.
That was a fun couple of months watching the Canucks run. This is where we should now be looking forward to a short CFL bubble season. Huge missed opportunity for the league. I get the no money to do it but how deep has Kerfoot/Mallett reached into their pockets to keep Whitecaps season still going ...

Re: Speculation is over. No season in 2020.
This has been a huge reality check for me about the CFL and its future. I was naive enough to the think the CFL had a solid business model with three problem markets that happened to be in Canada's largest cities. When the league said it had taken over the Alouettes franchise in 2019 I actually beli...
