Multiple tweets appearing now saying the Montreal is likely to take a good run at Burris as well.

CFL Official Feed ‏@CFL3m BREAKING: The @SSKRoughriders have released @WestonDressler7, allowing him the opportunity to sign with a NFL team. #CFL

You have to look all the way back to 2012. Yea yeah ya.. Iike I said, I didn't follow him that closely to bother remembering that.. Was that the only one? IIRC, that was the year Burris probably would have won MOP had his team actually won games. He a QB rating of 104.4, 5300 yards passing, 43 TDs to 18 interceptions. Wasn't it Marshall's defence there that stunk up the joint? Creehan's, who of course we took the next year and look what happened.

Based on what? He was at the helm of a team that won six games in 2012. Granted Hamilton's defence was terrible that year, but right now ours isn't much better. Compared to the Ticats D in 2012? Our D is light years ahead of that train wreck. Really? Whatever you're smoking I want. Our defence this past season is a group that allowed 585 points last year (Hamilton allowed 576 in 2012), had no single player with more than two interceptions last year, and had a stretch of three weeks (weeks three through five to be exact) where they allowed over 1000 passing yards, had seven touchdown passes against, 0 picks, and QB's had a completion percentage of 85.7 per cent. Lay off on the blue and gold kool-aid sport.

Or perhaps it just might have something to do with playing for a team that's ready to compete for a championship now versus one a couple of years away. Just maybe

What a story that would be. What would 17 do then?

We'll be fine folks. Calm your titties.

True but in fairness this article says a potential trade would be for a low draft pick. Regardless, we already have one veteran who constantly gets beat time and again. We don't need a second or need to give up a potential future special teamer to get a second.

Pass.

Yeah taking Solomon Elimimian on head on is definitely playing not to lose...

And there's a difference between playing to win and being stupid and taking unnecessary risks and forcing things that aren't there that costs you games. At 39 he still hasn't found that happy medium.

Smith made $400k last season. No chance in hell.

gary lawless ‏@garylawless1m Expect #bombers to name Gary Etchevery as DC and he'll bring in Nelson Martin to coach DBs. Deals in final stages of completion. #bn

Am I missing something, was Tsoumpas suppose to sign with the Bombers ? No, but he was on the wish list of quite a few for sure.

Thought there were rumours at the end of the year that Dressler was open to coming here...? Not sure on the validity but a nice thought none the less.

Well that's a swift kick in the junk.

There is nothing wrong or undesirable with the above scenario whatsoever.

Chris Matthews is easily replaceable. He isn't someone I'd be fretting over. If he signs that's great. If not, there are plenty of receivers out there to be found.

Unless there is something going on with the NFL, this makes zero sense whatsoever. You don't cut a pending FA to give other teams a chance to talk to him. You do what BC did last year with Reilly and trade his rights and get a return.

Avoid slagging ticket sales, being the laughing stock of the league again, etc. The problems on this team go beyond just the quarterback position. It needs a lot of help elsewhere too. Burris himself is not going to make this a championship football team.

I think the concern (and rightfully so) over Burris is that he is a band-aid solution at best. At 39 years old, while he would give us good play at the position we are right back to square one come 2016 (Assuming Collaros indeed goes to Hamilton and we don't sign Willy as well). The argument that he's bad in cold weather is justified to a degree, but we certainly won't be Grey Cup contenders this year, and it's unlikely we will be contenders in 2015 as well with how much work this team needs so I'm not sure I'd be stressing to much about play come November when we won't have legitimate shot at competing for a championship anyway.

Which is too bad because the guy who had thrown 77 career passes in the CFL before last year looked quite solid on the field.

My biggest knock is that he's got a silly last name. Really? What's wrong with saying in the 4th quarter with one final drive "We need Willy to come up big!".....

Very happy with the move. Feel Suber gets unfairly singled out, despite the fact that more often than not he is taking on the opposition's best playmaker. There's been many times he's turned Jamel Richardson into a whiny little school girl and no one talks about it.
