Maybe Andrew Harris has a year left in him

I agree with the sentiment that there are some readily available american runningbacks who could get the job done for us behind our offensive line. And with the XFL/USFL merger, there's going to be more opportunity to recruit rookies this season. Have said that i think the priority is Brady. He's a Canadian, a local product and he IMO has intangibles that are valuable to the team. No American runningback is going to care about the community as much as Brady nor will they understand to the same degree what it means to the fans to win. I see Brady as someone will can will this team to championships and can be a positive infectious force in the locker room helping young americans to be motivated by more than just a shot to look good and get into the NFL. Have said that we can't break the bank for him. He deserves a raise but not to be the highest paid non QB on the roster.

I'd take Ford but agree with @JuranBoldenRules that Edmonton likely doesn't move him.

With the team perpetually in win-now mode and assuming Dru Brown signs elsewhere would it make sense for us to trade for Tre Ford?  He would instantly answer our questions surrounding QB depth and being a Canadian on his entry-level deal it would free up cap space even versus what Brown was making last season. With his mobility, we also wouldn't really need to dress a 3rd string qb so you end up essentially with two DI's elsewhere as a result of this move. I think Edmonton would be open to trading him but might cost a 1st round pick. Tre Ford was kind of insulted last year by not being given a chance sooner. Now he is insulted again after playing so well to come into camp as the backup. No way do I see him returning to Edmonton after this season when his contract expires. So why not trade him for some value now?

Edmonton won't trade Ford.  They can't afford to sign a backup QB if they do.

Mostly agree with Noeller. If you're rating him amongst the CFL's greatest based on his career stats then you are over rating the guy.  Id rather have a qb who was great for 10 years and then another qb who was great for another 10 years then one qb who was good for 20. He's basically Vernon Adams if he would stay healthy and play a long time as his current level of play. 

I wonder how much Hansen had been making in the German league? 

Wish i knew more.  I just looked at the draft rankings.  If Harrison isn't in the draft then i think Panthers would trade their pick.

I'm not cheerleading him and I'm not dogging him either. Can you say the same? 
BTW.  The NFL trade deadline has already passed. 

Im not convinced that he's not a crest above the CFL stars we've had in the past. Keep in mind that he did what he did his second year out of college. 

2 games left...hardly a big winfall but better than a kick in knackers

Why would he regret saying it? It's the truth. Every football player wants to play in the NFL, earn the big bucks while playing against the best competition in the world while being treated like gods. 
Rourke was the best QB to come to the CFL in decades. He lit up the league in his 2nd year. He deserved the accolades.

You mean no one wanted to trade for the biggest superstar in waiting? A nation's heart breaks.

It was mostly a defensive thing and not turning the ball over.  The game he had in the Grey Cup was above any game he had during the regular season or in the playoff game. Call it what you want to call it.

He won the Grey Cup. He had a good game and the bombers secondary played a horrible game.  Doesn't erase the fact that he threw 14 td's and 12 interceptions all season and he's never thrown more than 18 touchdown passes in a single season. He's stop gap qb for a team until that team gets a bonafide starter. 

He's the 2 o'clock shuffle reward for sure...settling for scraps 

Yes, one good game or bad game does not erase an entire body of work. Even bad QBs have a good game once in a while, and great QBs have a bad game....neither makes one the other.

With Fajardo there is also significant issues with accuracy on deep throws. 

I think MBT is a significantly better passer. He almost threw for 5000 yards his last year in the CFL with the argos.
