In the past, we've had only limited discussion on the CFL Draft as well as BC Lions trades. Well now, let's talk about a third way to obtain new players to try to improve the team, for what it's worth.
Late August and early September should be an interesting time period as the NFL teams finalize their roster and release players who couldn't make the cut. Sometimes, the rejected NFL players go north to try to find new employment there. Since the Lions need improvement, which potential rejected NFL players should the Lions try to pursue?
There have been times when picking up the cut NFL player turned out to be the missing link in creating a championship team. For the Lions, I'd say the best examples would be Barry Wilburn and James Jefferson who were instrumental in their 1994 Grey Cup championship. And as the best example for an opponent, if Cal Murphy didn't sign this guy, there's no way the Blue Bombers would have stolen the 1988 GC from the Lions.
The NFL's Rejects - who should the Lions pursue?

祝加拿大加式足球聯賽不列颠哥伦比亚卑詩雄獅隊今年贏格雷杯冠軍。此外祝溫哥華加人隊贏總統獎座·卡雲斯·甘保杯·史丹利盃。還每年祝溫哥華白頭浪隊贏美國足球大联盟杯。不要忘記每年祝溫哥華巨人贏西部冰球聯盟冠軍。
改建後的卑詩體育館於二十十一年九月三十日重新對外開放,首場體育活動為同日舉行的加拿大足球聯賽賽事,由主場的卑詩雄獅隊以三十三比二十四擊敗愛民頓愛斯基摩人隊。
祝你龍年行大運。
恭喜西雅图海鹰直到第四十八屆超級盃最終四十三比八大勝曾拿下兩次超級盃冠軍的丹佛野馬拿下隊史第一個超級盃冠軍。

Anybody that can tackle on the defensive side would be a good start.

Yeah, I'd really want to come and play for a team that called me a reject...I hope your an employee in your world.

Beat me to it - Carl Kidd was, in my view, the catalyst to that 2000 Grey Cup run.
There should be plenty of items on our shopping list, starting with defensive tackle and linebacker. We dearly need to upgrade our talent there, pronto...

Agreed TW accounted for at least 12% of the run stops last season, and provided a huge upside in a little thing called leadership qualities.Hawkballer 14 wrote:Q: Would Big Tyrone like his job back?
