WPG. Own thread coming soon.

CAL . How much do you tinker if at all? But somethin aint right here

EDM. Lots of room for improvement.  Reilly another year older

SSK. Canadas team has lots of FAs, Carter leaving. Huge question marks at QB

BC. Lots of smoke but less flame than grease fire in MTL. Whole new coaching staff at least

TOR. Turning point to build on or just a nice story like OTT last year?

HAM. Soap opera . Key FAs looming. Collaros. Manziel thing.

OTT.  Trending down

MTL. Grease fire until further notice.

LIONS ACQUIRE RUNNING BACK BRANDON RUTLEY FROM ALOUETTES

Rutley to BC is weird - Rainey and Johnson already under contract

nothing wrong with competition in camp

Totally agree - just not sure aging injury-prone RB competition is what you want

@TSNDaveNaylor
Some clarity on Darian Durant situation. Can confirmed Durant’s 150K bonus is due Jan. 16th (tomorrow). However I’m led to believe the matter of whether the sides can agree on a restructured contract is likely to be resolved by end of Monday. #CFL #Als

he should balk...he not gonna get it either way....so cut ties and work out something with a different team

You're thinking Sutton. I don't think Rutley has ever missed significant time due to injury, and he's the back up to Sutton. He is getting up there in age though.

28 for a rb..should be right in his prime...plus low mileage on him...he prob 2 good years as a feature guy in him easily

Glenn completes his CFL BINGO card and signs with Edmonton.

For the record: He never wore an Argo shirt.

Yeah very low mileage. I was always surprised when he would resign with MTL as he has always looked like a solid back. Thought he would have tried to get a starting spot somewhere, earlier in his career.

Apparently Durant has been released.

always thought he would be a better back-up option than Glenn...so now here's our chance...If he had to start a few games he would give us a chance to win...and last year fiasco in Mtl was a team effort in futility...almost looked at times guys on offence couldn't give a eff

We know. But he was Argo property before he got traded to Winnipeg. He also never played for Ottawa but he was their property before being traded.

Maybe Durant is a good option, but it would have to be for the right price.

pretty sure he knows now that if he wants to be on an active roster he doesn't really hold any negotiating power...it's come down to take it or leave it for best deal he's gonna receive 

Im interested in what the Bombers are thinking QB wise going into this season. Durant would be a good backup option but then we'd probably be looking at someone to groom for our 3rd QB ie. Not lefevour. 

If Bombers bring in Durant then there's definitely no room for the Fevour...we'd have to go minimal salary/rookie/developmental guy at 3rd string.

I don't hate Durant as a #2/QB Coach type thing......pretty sure the #3 this year was going to be one of the developmental guys they had at the end of the year, anyhow...

Maybe - I just never recall Rutley playing a full season...

I think that the Bombers should at least consider Durant if the price is right.    That kind of experience factor is hard to come by.

Let “The Fever” and Davis fight it out for back-up and see what you have in TC for third stringer .   Curious if the club has anyone interesting on the neg list that they could possibly bring in .

Neither of these have shown that they are any better than Drew Willy, so what would be the wisdom in retaining either of them? I say we give Durant a decent, but not exorbitant offer and bring in a couple-three promising rookies.

Josh Straughan and David Washington - are these guys coming back?  Anyone have any idea?

Straughan, FYI, has signed a futures contract with the club, meaning he will be in training camp next year.

He never wore a Redbkacks either, but he was both their property for a time.  Argos might only have been seconds but he was traded there.
