It all depends what the extent of his work will be. He could be a very valuable asset if they give him a workload suitable for a 75 year old man. However, it is not reasonable to think that he can keep up with the Murphy's and JP Jones of the CFL at his age though. His eye for talent may still be there but I would be extremely skeptical of his ability to travel and work the long days required of a full time talent scout.

Randle is one of the best in the CFL. It's great we locked him down.

If the price is right we should jump on that. Walter is a legit backup to Harris.

I would bet a beer token that Henoc doesn't sign anywhere soon unless it's a whopper of a contract offer.

Well if some Riderfans can predict a 12 win season for their team with that roster I gotta revise my pick to 16-2 because our team looks a lot better than theirs.

Hence the interceptions.

Bad example. Elliott would have thrown long on every play if given Carte blanche to do so. In fact his penchant for going off script and doing it anyway resulting in 5 interception games ended his career.

That picture is a couple years old of a Lion fan doing this. Laplace just pointing out that the picture seems a lot more appropriate now.

Sure sounds like they had to deal someone that's for sure. Martin would have been the logical choice if they got Laurent.

Jesus would cover them. A faith based approach to defence.

I have no trouble at all with bringing him in if the Als choose to release him or would take next to nothing in trade. We could make the cap adjustments but I would not give up anything of value to trade for that contract.

I, for one, am glad we didn't go after Watman. I have seen way too much unrealized potential for one lifetime on the Bombers. Watman may turn into something yet, but last year he was an absolute pylon who got beasted every game he played in. Big reason why the Riders had such terrible sack numbers last year.

I would be pissed if we traded for Henoc now. Last year was the time to show him the benjamins. He will cost multiple draft picks to whoever trades for him. Salary + draft picks make him far too expensive a purchase.

What Harris will help with most of all is finally providing us with someone that the opposing defence has to game plan against. He isn't the best runner in the CFL, he isn't the best receiver, but put them together and he becomes one of the most dangerous players to play against. When defences have to focus on shutting down one guy it keeps them from calling the shots and dictating the game plan. Just his presence on the field eliminates a lot of the blitz. He is what we needed, an outlet for Willy when under pressure and a player that will help our offence dictate on the field versus reacting. I think people are going to see vast improvement in our sacks against numbers and are going to be celebrating how Lapo and Wylie turned the OL around. Just remember that a big part of that was the signing of Harris.

I think we have a better MLBer than Wild, his name is Bass. I would be surprised, if they decide to sit Hurl, if it wasn't Bass at Mike and Wild at WIL. Wild/Bass/Leggett or Randle would be a very good LBing corps.

Or was it Bryant? I'll have to check the Bombers roster. Not a slight on Campbell as he is a good player, but he is not the top OT in this league. He's about middle of the pack.

You guys are improved over yesterday for sure. However, you have a long way to go and a ton of holes that need filling.

You don't throw guys like that away. They are not making big money and are excellent teamers and NAT depth. I don't think we are that SMS challenged we need to start carving up our NAT roster. I would rather dump Denmark than either of these guys.

Yep...all those guys eats up lots of wampum.

I'm pretty sure both Hurl and Bucknor are safe unless a big opportunity comes along down the road. (Bilikudi etc). Turner, Peach, and Anderson have all been replaced and are pretty much a sure thing for release. Veltung will have to prove his worth against the new recruits but he is not an automatic SMS casualtiy as he is on his rookie contract.

Justin Capiciotti to the Riders. A REAL commitment to recruitment over there...lol.

Rider pick up Greg Jones. Very Tamanesque day over there. I think they have pretty much spent as much as we did in the FA market so far.

Probably closer to 800k. Carter and Muamba were 500k and I am pretty sure that Stafford and Martin are easily at 150k each.

What no Ed Gainey love? I used to love watching him play against us. I pray he is in their lineup this year.

That's because he wasn't a FA. They drafted him in 2011 and held his rights.
