Lord Keric of Wheatfall to Hamilton. Hamilton Tiger-Cats sign former Winnipeg Blue Bombers receiver Keric Wheatfall - 3DownNation

I'd say this also applies to Brady (and given recent events, I believe Logan Stanley agrees).

Not exactly true - just based on our current neg list, we had added Anthony Campbell to our list prior to last season & Xavier Carlton during the season. Neg lists are pretty fluid so I would have to dig around to see who else may have been on there and was signed or dropped but we definitely have had some prospects. That said, we have added a much bigger number of them over the last month (6 by my count) so it is a position they are focusing on right now.

Yep, not all of the DT's on our Neg List are recent adds either - a couple of them have been there for months so it's more of an indication of what they are targeting rather than a clue that they'll sign soon. Neg List moves are all over the map too - some guys sit on there for years & some only for a few days. Some get signed while others get dropped. Some even get dropped and then are re-added later on - recent signee Khris Bogle is a good example of that. He was added 2 months go, dropped after a month only to be re-added a few days later before he was signed (Calgary also had him on their list at one point).

Back-up vet In case/when Wilson goes down is the only thing I can think of. Not a move I was expecting...

I did the same - I got a lot of the references but not everything so I looked into it. I've never once listened to his music so might not be part of the target audience and it's not going to make me go out of my way to listen to him but I appreciated the opportunity to see/learn something new. They could have done much worse (and have) so I had zero problems with the half time show.

I wonder how what his snap count would have been if Strevy doesn't blow out his knee? The only game Wilson saw action beyond short yardage was the last game of the regular season when ZC was sitting and then Strevy went down early. Took a worst case scenario to see what he could do (to be expected for QB3 though) and what we saw wasn't good.

That's pretty much how I expect it to go down as well - ZC, Perkins, Wilson with Artopoeus or Thorne on the PR. Might get interesting if Elgersma does show up at some point though - would they stick him on the PR where he could be poached or would he bump Perkins or Wilson from the AR?

Evans and Patterson are both pending FA's and AFIK have not agreed to terms anywhere yet. They were listed at #5 & 12 on 3DN's top FA QB's so either one could be had if there was interest on our part. Don't see them bringing back Patterson though since he didn't even make it out of camp with us last year. 2026 CFL free agent rankings: quarterbacks - 3DownNation

They would have been better off giving guys like Wilson some reps a season or 2 ago but that's not the MOS way & I don't see that changing now.

A chance for the wealthy to come out & say "Yay sports"? It's all about the money. With one burger going for $180 USD (about $245 CAD), it's a prime example of how the game is not for the average person. The Most Expensive Item on the Super Bowl LX Menu Is an Absolute Monstrosity

He was also pretty beat up last year and was dealing with an arm issue (elbow and/or should iirc). Wasn't really given a chance to heal properly or play at 100% because Davis kept getting hurt and so did Caleb Evans.

Don't forget Elgersma is also a possibility. Walters believes they might get more info on by the end of the month when NFL teams are done signing futures contracts.

Did Edmonton announce it or did the league? Nothing on the L's website about it so maybe the league put it out there for clarity since rights transfers are rare. Edit - just saw Hervey's statement. Said it was an attempt to do right by the player and other clubs and let them get going on things without needlessly holding up the process. The website is not completely up to date. They signed a 6'6 DL named Michael Fletcher the other day but he's not listed so there's definitely people missing. He was signed before Ceresna was made official yet he's on there so it's a bit random.

The motivation was simply that Edmonton wasn't going to match the offer we made so instead of waiting for the clubs 48 hour exclusive negotiating period to end, they just ripped the bandaid off and moved on.

Ended the year on the PR so he was a FA but we re-signed him a couple weeks ago.

FWIW, this analysis has us as a possible destination for Ford. Not sure I entirely agree with that but we do need a backup with legitimate experience. I wouldn't be opposed to it if we could make it work financially - like a bonus heavy contract that would only payout if Zach gets hurt or something. https://www.cfl.ca/2026/01/30/3-potential-landing-spots-for-tre-ford
