The @MTLAlouettes make it official. They have released WR Duron Carter and Kenny Stafford. #CFL

And they can't play again this year.

 

No salary savings... no cap savings... So, why now? I guess they must have felt that they would make things worse.

Heard Carter wasn't going to feature much over the final few games. I guess they thought he would become even more destructive.

I wonder if the NFL is an option for Carter?

I know the guy is a basket case but I would LOVE to see Carter as a Bomber next year. With a good team and good environment he might flourish, and if he's a jerk ass O'shea wouldn't put up with it for a second so no harm no foul. Carter, Gurley, Dressler, Adams, JFG/Kohlert. Wow

And the lol train is about to leave the station...

Do they get their full salary?  Because if they were released, cant collect their salary and cant go anywhere else to collect a salary, thats a **** move.

The Als have to pay them their remaining 2016 salary.  Basically, it's paying them to stay away.

Should of been traded weeks ago.

I see Carter in Toronto next season. We don't need the distraction. Stafford is meh to me and maybe he goes to Hamilton or Riderville. 

Both 3 year gets money not guaranteed. Stafford is in fourth year but games played equals only 3 years.

No they don't. 

Players in their 3rd year or less don't have guaranteed contracts.

I swear I just read something in the CBA today that said for players with 1 year of "service" in the CFL, contracts are guaranteed after the 14th game.

Players with 1 year of service get to keep their medical benefits until the start of the next TC.

 

They saved what? 50-60 K with these moves?  Unless he convinces Trestman to come back, Jim Popp is as good as gone. 

Wow, as far as Carter, what a way to punish a guy for being a jerk. The Als have devolved into a real circus with lots of clowns rather quickly since number 13 retired ...

Jim Popp right now

Just goes to show how much easier it is to be a Gm when you have a qb like Calvillo

Don't want Carter anywhere near this team, don't care how good he is......

And Ben Cahoon. The guy was money.

Popp releasing guys so he can sign them when he gets hired in Toronto.

He would get a scouting job south of the border pretty fast. I am sure he is not worried about not being employed.

Carter released just before hitting 1000 yards for the season...

Stafford released to save a few thousand bucks looks like

Id be interested in stafford over adams but sounds like wed have to sign him for only next year?

No to both not needed here we have enough receivers on the squad who seem to act like professionals.

I think Chapdelaine took a few weeks to access the situation in the locker room and this is the result of his decision, cut out the cancer.

I agree, to be honest those receivers were causing issues.  Causing fights on Practices, being unsupportive and unproductive on the field. If they were productive on the field (ie Carter) they were taking poor penalties; or causing other issues.  Need to realize this is a game for men and not boys; there is a certain way someone must carry themselves when they become a man.  The problem was that even though they should be men, they were still acting like boys.

It will be interesting to see if duron carter turns into less of a cancer on a better team next year. I dont think the nfl is gonna come sniffing with all his problems this year.
