We've had some fine discussions over several threads about free agency.  I have enjoyed flipping back and forth between the various discussions. But in the next few days the news and rumours are going to be coming fast and furious, particularly on Monday night and Tuesday. 

What I don't want to have to do is to keep searching several threads to make sure I don't miss any of this juicy stuff. So I thought it would be cool if we could have a central place to keep up to the latest.  I'm not saying this thread would be the only place to post and I'm not saying that some news might deserve a whole thread for itself. 

I'm just saying it would be nice to post the latest tidbits, speculations and announcements over the next 3   days to a week in this one spot - - so none of us miss anything because we are not looking in the right thread. 

So do you want to try this spot as the central posting place for this week?

Meanwhile as we are waiting for announcements tomorrow and beyond, I have a question. With sports salaries being so widely published everywhere else, why is it that we keep CFL salaries so closely guarded?

That three GMs saw enough in him to hire him?

not to mention what 2 nfl teams, 3 stints total. Going back to the nfl after being on the PR here etc. Hes 26, crazy athletic for his build, and a really talented in the box line backer. He could actually really shine if used the way we tried to deploy hurl previously. He isnt as good at getting back into plays or getting back into mid zones as muamba is, or at forcing fumbles but hes got plenty of strengths and his best football is still a head of him. Its the cfl, guys bounce around a lot. Especially now a days.  Id rather henoc then Reed. Reed vs bear woods is a bit more tough. Just because woods is on he back end of his career and the best is yet to come for reed.

I thought Reed was better in the box but Woods had better range, and yes I would rather had Muamba than either. After all, we trained him.

@Rich Pretty sure the Grymes thing happened about a month ago... I remember having the discussion about it here...

Possible it was discussed, but this article just came out on 3downnation today.  In fact the deal isn't entirely signed yet, just "imminent".

Rod Black will LITERALLY die if no one signs Sam Giguere...

I also was not aware that Peter Nygard is Sam Giguere's father!!?

 

A remarkable professional contestant.

He is...? I wonder if the decrepit turd tried skimp out on his child support, too.

brutal case of the Mondaze

He's actually just Sam Giguere's arms' father.  Weird genetic coding **** going on over on Nygaard Island...

Now I get it!

I think thats mostly awareness with bear woods. He is very cerebral, and puts him self in great positions to make plays. Reed is a bit more wild and more of a mid field type guy, an old school roving line backer. Thats why I think reed might mesh really well with what we do. hes a lot better at getting after the passer then what weve had at MLBer for a long while. Any of the three would be a gigantic upgrade over hurl last season.

That poster always kinda creeps me out. Looks like a ripped steve dulcich  for any hot rod people familiar with him.

You would be well advised to feel creepy around Nygard.

It's funny 'cause it's true. But it's also gross.

Well, its nearly the end of the dance, and we're the only ones still standing on the dance floor with Muamba......

Well I guess with these signings T.O. is out of the running for Henocs' services...That leaves that hotbed of C.F.L. centres Mont.....Muamba has been there and done that ...Could he have a return in mind???..Can Kavis convince him to play the middle for that dumpster fire???Seems every other club are set at MLB....Ottawa could be in the mix but I think we most likely are front and centre for his services????I wonder what Kyle has up his sleeve....maybe just his arm...We should hear something soon one way or the other,  one  would think

I wouldnt under estimate his willingness to sit out half a year in hopes of landing a NFL tc invite or some thing.

BC very interested in him to play WIL next to SE, and he is always interested in playing with Cauchy...

That would make the leo's pretty solid up the middle with Solo...Only fly in that is what if Bighill wants to come home....Guess we could offer the big guy a spot??
