No really, I thought there was only 2 CFL Teams........................... I don't want Glenn here, I actually think it's unlikely for him to sign here, but why waste assets on him when we could either pick him up if he's released or if he doesn't want to come here waste picks and players for nothing. At the same time, what other team would want Glenn ? maybe Montreal and/or Edmonton, but I don't see BC going after him, nor Calgary, Saskatchewan, Toronto, Hamilton. Why wouldn't bc go for him? He's more reliable then Buck. I wouldn't be surprised to see Glenn end up in either Montreal (my first bet) or Vancouver. Glenn would be a good fit into Montreal's quick-read offense with a decent O-line and a good chance for another shot at the Grey Cup. Vancouver's biggest asset is the lack of cold weather. Either way, the two GMs involved will try to wait out Ottawa to get the best deal for Glenn- they may get him for nothing or next to nothing.

If Walters' performance to date is any indication, darned few players are going to go into camp with the assumption that they are a lock. As many here have pointed out, good RBs are plentiful and relatively cheap. I would love it if Florida Dan could scare up another Charles Roberts- that would sure take a lot of pressure off both our QB and the O-line, not to mention the receivers.

I wouldn't expect to find any accurate or relevant scouting reports, this guy is 27 years old and hasn't played meaningful football in almost 7 years. I'm not even 100% convinced that he's signed a contract. So where has he been playing? I'm a little concerned about a 27 yr old who hasn't played meaningful football in 7 years. He does look to be a long shot to make the team, but all we can do is hope that the scouting saw something in him worth a longer look. John Madden said that every year when he was in the NFL his team would bring in an interesting long shot.

I don't see why he wouldn't have multiple years left. He's only 28 you know. Hmmm... he's been around so long, I assumed he was at or past 30. Typically, most athletes physically peak at ages 26-29, so if his head is still in the game, he ought to fit in well here. Don't remember him as a solid tackler, though.

From the info on the internet, he sounds like he has his head screwed on properly, and has the physical talents to succeed in the CFL. He listed his greatest asset as peripheral vision and not getting hit by surprise. Seems to have decent hands as well. Sounds like a real challenger.

Good signing for training camp if nothing else. I just hope Alexander still has a year or two in him.

Well at 71 I wouldn't want a coach to run the team, but for monitoring 3 guys I don't think the age is an issue. As long as he's not afraid to buy green bananas.....

Sounds like Popp has been dropping hints that he wants new horizons, so he may be pushed before he jumps.

I don't care how muddy it was, if it didn't have a manhole in the middle of the field it can't be the absolute worst. Come now- we are in a new millennium. It's called a "personhole".

Popp may have lucked out in having Calvillo as his QB for so many years, but under his command, the Alouettes were competitive almost every year. For the most part, he was very good at finding talent and hiring good coaches. There ought to be several GM/Assistant GM NFL positions coming up,and the CFL can't compete with NFL salaries.

You're right- my bad. Damn that senility.

it's reported at that time he is only interested on GM position. maybe he sees something goin' on the Als org. I wont be surprised if Poop bolts out to NFL this season o next yr. Maybe head coach for the present with an option to be head coach/GM if Popp bails out and then moving up to GM next year in that scenario.

Mike Kelly was a dreadful head coach and worse as a GM, so his judgement is highly questionable. I don't want to give him more air time, but he came into the job(s) with enormous goodwill in the bank and proceeded to burn it off at a rate unprecedented in recent Bomber history. The fans and players turned on him when it became painfully obvious just how bad he was.

Would love to see Henoc return, but given the nature of the business and the short length of careers in pro sports, he owes it to himself to maximize his income, either in the NFL or CFL. He was one of the few bright spots last season, and earned his salary, so good luck to him.

X2- One of the biggest frustrations of the players for the past couple of years was the bumbling ineptness of Burke as head coach but especially Crowton as Offensive Co-ordinator. Every player knew that neither were good enough to guide the team. Like it or not, this is a rebuilding year with a rookie GM and rookie head coach, and we need all the CFL experience we can get. No good feelings about this announcement.

I wasn't unhappy with O'Shea as our new head coach but I would have preferred Higgins due to Higgins' experience. I remember him as professional and always available as well as polite to the media even after a tough loss. Higgins ought to do well in Montreal.

So basically Calgary wants to be like Toronto ? Except for the fake cowboy worship in Calgary- they even have "Cowboy Churches" where everyone has to dress like cowpersons and the sermon is delivered in cowperson idioms. Strange but true.

Bear WoodsIs this a poop joke? Nope. I checked Montreal's roster and he's an actual person! lol" Then all we need is for a CFL team to sign a player named "Pope" and we've got that all covered.

Bear Woods Is this a poop joke?

I just hope that he hasn't been watching the weather reporting for Winnipeg for the past couple of months.

No surprise here. Paris Jackson was barely hanging on last season and had to take a pay cut to do so. A good guy, but no longer young, good or cheap enough.

Good stuff! Thank you for the posting, especially during a football news drought time.

And then there's the other musical half as well- Alexander's Ragtime Band.

Heck, bring him home and let him fight for a spot on the roster. Its not as if Cauchy has unquestionably been the answer, so let 'em prove who's best for the job.

About time- the suspense was killing me.
