Noeller Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Farhan Lalji @FarhanLaljiTSN · 2m I’m told Kongbo was “not a fit in the room” & it was important for #BCLions to get back to the chemistry they had before the trade. This deal eliminates what was going back to #TiCats in the Dane Evans deal; a 4th round pick that escalates to a 3rd. @CFLonTSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Zanetti Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) Not a FIFO guy? Maybe thats why he didnt end up back here perhaps??? Edited June 5, 2023 by Bubba Zanetti Noeller, BigBlueFanatic and Mr. Perfect 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 so they have Boatang...Kongbo...Bennet (winnipeg kid) do they all roster or does one get cut/pr'd?...If they put Mason Bennett on PR we best be putting a claim in and make the Cats roster him GCJenks, Stickem, Noeller and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 So they sign him for what we assume was a large deal and trade him because he's disrupting the locker room? Bizzare. Wonder how Hamilton can afford all those guys? Wonder if they cut anybody? I'd be offering them something for Bennett. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it that Colin Kelly was available to the Riders? The XFL, while not having any official provision for it, has said all along they would release any player if they wanted to go to the CFL.

The nfl requires an unconditional release for the xfl guys to try out. So if they get an nfl look they are cut from the xfl deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Never really heard of any disruptions by Kongbo here.....our locker room seemed pretty tight....Don't think a guy turns sour over night BUT something is going on and it might not fit fifo's parameters.....Go after Bennett for sure.....someone is going to shake loose in the hammer, and it would be right up our alley if it was Bennett rebusrankin, Tracker and wbbfan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about the xfl thing though. A strong locker room can keep a small amount of big egos in check. But a fifo guy also isn’t going to fit in with a crap locker room. Not sure which is which but I put my trust in kongbo. Not a team lead by vaj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a team lead by vaj. For sure. I was just wondering if Kongbo was released to try NFL after XFL and that's why he was available? I realize he has been through the NFL wringer a few times now. 5 minutes ago, Stickem said: Never really heard of any disruptions by Kongbo here.....our locker room seemed pretty tight....Don't think a guy turns sour over night BUT something is going on and it might not fit fifo's parameters.....Go after Bennett for sure.....someone is going to shake loose in the hammer, and it would be right up our alley if it was Bennett If you ask me, the BC Lions signed him to way too high a contract to make sure we didn't get him and had no real intentions of keeping him. Then traded him for whatever scraps they could get. Kongbo fetching only a 4th round pick screams bad contract to me.

So he was a ufa this year late bc gave elite money now flipped him for peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve been trying to buy a winner in free agency for years now. And their big off season moves seldom work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Culture matters, it’s called pro football for a reason. bigg jay, GCJenks, BigBlueFanatic and 8 others 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton probably views us as direct competition and they’re hosting the Cup. They’re probably in zero mood to help us out.
