not sure if taking a broadcasting gig would take Winnipeg off the hook... depends on their deal i suppose.

no. usually the coach accepting a new position cancels the former team's obligation to pay them.

first thing i thought of when i saw that DC. this could be the start of something ugly.

the Braley Bowl... i'm imagining the butthurt howling already...

i lol'd and as to McPherson, good for him. i hear he's tearing up that league. i wonder if he'll be in the running for the Ottawa gig.

what part of "his play dropped off so we cut him" is an oversimplification?

well if he's a bust for whatever team signs him, then Mack and Burke are justified... but on the other hand, if he plays good football...

he's already got a bonus this year... so money-wise, he's laughing wherever he signs

MMQB's Steinberg seems to think Hefney is going to Calgary... EDIT, he actually got that from the Calgary Sun:

EDIT: Barker said on Argos Access this evening that Hurst did his ACL. poor kid. 2 season-ending injuries, 2 seasons in a row. two reasons: - Trent Guy fills the same role - Hurst's hands are suspect according to some

i think he was just being a malcontent about it.

they may frame it that way... but he was heard complaining about how he "has to get paid". he was a terrific player. going to miss him.

i've seen reports (and my own observations) that he'd had a good camp. i think this is just indicative of our receiver corps being deeper this year and harder to crack.

nothing. but i think that TBurgess' proposal to have things straightened out with the player prior to an agreement for a bonus is just common sense.

stop being reasonable!

no, that was a different DE... i think it was Williams?

Etienne is a Saskatchewan boy, no?

Argo cut list K/P Anthony Alix, NIP, St. Francis Xavier WR Tyler Beiler, IMP, Bridgewater College DL Jeremy Geathers, IMP, UNLV WR Quincy Hurst, NIP, Manitoba DB Djems Kouame, NIP, Montreal DL Antonio Leak, IMP, Henderson State FB Mike Montoya, NIP, Wilfrid Laurier RB Quinn Porter, IMP, Stillman College LB Jake Reinhart, NIP, Guelph LB Paul Spencer, NIP, Concordia CB Pacino Horne, IMP, Central Michigan Geathers is a bit of a surprise... many of us thought that he and Donte Paige-Moss (another, early surprise cut) would be our import DEs Quincy Hurst looked good and drew praise but apparently got hurt in the Bomber game... no details on that that i can find Alix may stick on the practice roster Horne was the big surprise yesterday Kouame was switched to DB (he was drafted as a receiver) but maybe was made expendable by Gabriel? Reggie Williams still hanging in...

if anyone can confirm if the above-mentioned troll only accesses these forums through a cellphone, i'd appreciate the heads up. thanks yo. EDIT: it may not be a cellphone, (it may be a mobile internet key attached to a laptop) but he logs in through a cell network (i can name the network specifically if you need)

i remember the sites and even the "Sandy" controversy. i was still in my lurker phase back then.

disagree. Mack is competing for CFL prospects against 7 other GMs. i'd rather recruit in January when there's still plenty of fish in the sea than in mid-June.

yeah, it's one of those damned if you do - damned if you don't scenarios... but at least if they'd have done it Mike's way they could've put the cash (and more time) into finding Hefney's replacement at HB/Nickel

but Mike's point still stands: they could've parted ways before giving him a salary bonus...
