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.

Not sure if big deal or not.

I'd say not but it's Carter. He's an attention *****, for better or worse, and this is just another notch on that belt.

 stupid  move to charge somebody for something that will be legal in five months. 

Complete  waste of police/court/lawyers time.

I predict this charge will be dropped.

Why are people still being charged with this?

This should improve his standing on the team.  

 

Duron Carter is facing a marijuana possession charge.

Court records show Carter was arrested Feb. 1 in Saskatoon.

He has since been released from custody and is scheduled to make his first appearance March 27 in Saskatoon Provincial Court.

Carter, 26, was named the Riders’ most outstanding player for the 2016-17 CFL season, amassing 73 catches for 1,043 yards and eight touchdowns in 17 starts at wide receiver.

He also started one game as a defensive back, in which he picked up nine tackles and an interception which he ran back 43 yards for a touchdown.

By the end of the season he was named both a CFL all-star and a West Division all-star.

Carter signed a one-year extension with the Riders on Jan. 22.

he must have had a fair bit on him to get busted for possession in this day and age.. anything under 28 grams is usually considered "personal" and just a fine worthy offense.

he now has gangster street cred.  

Many police services in Canada aren't laying charges for possession .  Unless the person has a record for same, there's a secondary charge or the person is an ass and gives them a hard time.    

Hmmmmm...I wonder which one it was

I get it now, .......obviously a league conspiracy against the Riders!

what a moronic move.

Agree! Any lawyer worth their fee  will have the charges stayed.

you realize I wasn't making fun of mack in the other thread for cutting Durant but that he is the type to throw a boatload at Manziel...

 

 

I'm not here commenting on the things people don't say SPuDS, just the things they do say. Sorry I picked you out of the circle jerk I'll quote someone else next time.

I disagree with the argument that people shouldn't be charged because it will become legal in the future.... it is currently against the law, and should be treated as such.

The big question is... Why didn't he have a fall guy with him???

Guaranteed he tried to pull a "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM??!!!!!" and this was the result...

Not sure either. The only thing... Hes an American in Canada on a work visa. Wonder how that effects things.

wow....so BC actually gonna get fined for letting a guy out to try the NFL. Thassss crazy talk........

If true, its ridiculous.  Who cares if there was an unofficial verbal side deal.  Personally, if it was the Bombers, I'd hate to lose a guy early, but I'd respect the team for being player-friendly and helping them achieve their dream.

Why are they busting people for pot when its about to become legal?  if anyone follows San Fran's lead, it just creates work later when they over turn it.

Law is different in Canada. If convicted they won't overturn it.

Should've thrown him in jail for a couple of days instead.

The reason is that the league and the union fought tooth and nail last time about the option year window. The league wanted it gone and in order to get the concession they eventually had to shorten minimum contract length to one year. It hurts the collective bargaining process when teams who fought to get rid of the NFL option year window suddenly start randomly giving it back.

Wow, just a salary dump. Hughes may be older, but he's still a great player.

Interesting move.

Can't. Once R.I.C.E is established they have to release him unless they keep him I.P.D.A. or under the mental health act.

Screams Belichek trading a guy a year b4 he falls apart. Bet hughes has a down year. Age is his biggest obstacle

Gotta be a salary dump. The years of having a contending team in the SMS age are coming home to roost now.
