rebusrankin Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 While Best has struggled with injury issues over the past few years, his retirement is a big loss for the Riders. The guys they played at guard last year like Andrew Jones, Matt Vonk and even St John struggled. They still have issues with ni talent and this hurts that too. If Labatte retires or can't go, it gets worse and as I recall Labatte had a serious injury too last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're right, they would never trade for him as a NI O-Lineman. That's exactly why he has been working out as a NI receiver. It would figure he'd be a shoe-in now.

Noeller Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 A guy who can play anywhere on the line would carry some value. Neufeld will make it through camp, but after that.... We'll see.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpants Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I've always thought Neufeld would be a perfect 6th man because of his versatility... seems unlikely (or at least less likely) to get hurt if he's only playing sparingly... too bad he's being paid like a starter...

If his salary already has decided his fate he will be gone before camp starts. I suspect it hasn't. We will carry 4-5 NI Olinemen somewhere on the roster even if we only start 2. Chungh, Goossen and Couture makes 3. Inzandt could be the 4th. A draft pick could be the 5th. But maybe neither of those guys are good enough right now, and until there is some certainty there, Walters might be prepared to spend a few more dollars on his depth at NI Olineman and find the savings somewhere else.

Noeller Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Madani says Popp + Trestman to Argos a done deal. Copeland (CEO Argos) didn't particularly want Popp, but they're saying the only way Trestman would come is with Popp, so they had to. Going to be a very interesting situation to follow this summer...

sweep the leg Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) I'm very interested to see if Trestman will still look like an offensive genius with the talent he has to work with in Toronto.

Mr Dee Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Well, as of Wednesday, the Roughriders had signed nine free agents from other CFL teams — the highest such number in the league. The Toronto Argonauts were next at eight, followed by the Ottawa Redblacks (six), Edmonton Eskimos (five), B.C. Lions (four), Calgary Stampeders (four), Montreal Alouettes (four), Winnipeg Blue Bombers (three) and Hamilton Tiger-Cats (one). B.C. and Calgary each had re-signed or extended the contracts of 15 of its free agents, with Montreal (14), Ottawa (14), Winnipeg (10), Edmonton (seven), Hamilton (six), Toronto (six) and Saskatchewan (three) rounding out the list. Scott Mitchell - It’s absolutely amazing that in 8 years with the Stamps Drew Tate threw 572 passes........Bo Levi Mitchell threw 606 last year alone. Matt Baker - Tony Burnett could be the biggest piece of the puzzle for the Lions. He attended Lions camp in 2014 but there was no way he was cracking the roster. Not with Bighill and Solomon Elimimian entering the most dominant portion of the “Team 100” era. The #Riders have wasted no time assigning Darian Durant's old no. 4. It will be worn by new safety Marc-Olivier Broulliette. #CFLEd Willes: Canucks owners kick the tires on the B.C. Lions bit.ly/2lfpn02.
