Moore and Echols are ok, at least they both have experience. Moore I assume takes the Stern role (I assume he's out long term). Does anybody know why Moore didn't play last year? Heck both are better than Corcoran and Cobb.

Was Terence Jeffers-Harris not available?

I’m not surprised though. You lose your three best receivers, you can’t continue to run Joey Corcoran and your back up quarterback, they need some vets who you can plug in incase they’re needed for Sunday.

Average signings or not, we need depth behind our starters, just need Onterra back

I can’t see Wilson staying down south.

100% this rings alarm bells. It seems like one or both could be down long term.

We need receivers, obviously, so these signings aren’t a big surprise, but it also makes you wonder if they are directly related to Demski, or more likely Sterns injury. Also possible conversations with Wilson have lead the team to believe he’s going to hang around down south hoping for another shot.

I agree with your comments on Biggie! I would have loved to see him in Bomber Blue but he IMHO is past his "Best Before Time". And IMHO I think it is time to move on from Jake Thomas (I love the guy but IMHO he needs to only serve in a back up role)

Moore and Echols is the definition of scrap heaping. Not saying we don't need to do it, just unfortunate it has come to this.

Maybe both. Hard to believe he's 28 eh? Bout to turn 29 though. Still, younger than Echols somehow. But yeah, he's an undersized guy who plays hard. 5 seasons and almost 300 catches under his belt. He isn't shot, but he isn't fresh as a daisy either. I like both moves better than running out Cody or pushing Schoen back early. Plus, I like how these guys are a reasonable balance of vet experience and youth. They are great guys to push who we have.

He also had the Faj throwing him deep balls, so it’s tough to judge too harshly 😂

F*** those green bastards!

Canadians don't count, this was one of the good things that Randy Ambrosie got the NFL to do to help the CFL. They originally were looking at including us. I knew this because there was a short blurp on TSN about it at the time. I don't think anyone in the media realized just how big a win that was for our league because it was a buried story and it deserved much more headlines.

K-Law is gonna feast on the Argos.

Possible Totally forgot about him kicking around out there...maybe he got glasses as his tracking on deep balls was an adventure

Yeah. And he did play with Collaros is Sask so maybe some familiarity there.

Yeah...intruiging for sure...has good hands too Wonder if we see him and Moore ...or both in lineup this week? Schoen I think is a foolish add at this point..let him heal even more...the fact he trying to get back in with a brace on is something I don't like and has red flags all over it

Straight from the NFL website: What is the International Player Pathway

By rule no players of American or Canadian citizenship qualify. Your blogger is incorrect.

Yeah, I mean that's a clear improvement over a chunk of guys we've run out at WR this and last year.

Always liked Swerve, had issues tracking the deep ball at times, but generally sure handed. He has a bit of tread on him, but he’d be similar to Sterns at this point in his career.

Or maybe they have given up on Mitchell

I don't hate this move, actually. Doesn't have a ton of wear on him, really interesting athlete with good experience and reasonable success. He's got a great first and second gear, very twitchy, explosive. And has a top gear, but is missing about 2 mid gears to make the most out of his top-end speed. He has probably 3 gears more than you can even use in football. He was a really good 200m runner, 100m, and amazing jump ability. He's a real solid back up PR/KR as well. Could do a lot of damage in catch and run stuff, and also on the sweep plays.

Well, Moore is a vet and has atleast put up some nice numbers is the CFL.
