@CFL: The @CFL_Esks have released safety Donovon Alexander. #CFL

Is he any good? Should the Bombers have interest?

He was born in Winnipeg.

No on both counts.

i got a feeling he will go back to the riders.

He's better than any Canadian we have on defense since Muamba and Labbe are gone. 

 

Edmonton signed him to a stupid contract, which is probably why they couldn't deal him.

 

I'd be interested up to low six figures.

Better than Newman & Bucknor? If so, we should be interested.

Why not? Proven Canadian.  As long as the money isn't ridiculous, I'd sign him.

He's not a big hitter but I think he makes up for it with smarts. I'd say sign him.

He's garbage a big no. Cauchy is definitely better then him and that's not saying much.

Half of posters want Donovan Alexander and half of us don't.

 

I'll go for the Donovan half….at least he could sing.

And then there's the other musical half as well- Alexander's Ragtime Band.

Competition Competition. With the lack of Canadian talent on this team you bring him in and let him earn a job. Played in a Etch defence already also.

Bring in a vet to try out...he gets hurt u own him.

Worth a look-see at right price.. home town boy..

Alexander was a Western division all-star in 2012.

I'd certainly take Alexander over who we have currently.... Let's see if the GM shares this opinion.

Alexander was a Western division all-star in 2012.

Divisional all stars should be abolished, they're absolutely pointless.

Because it means 1 in 4 starters (or in some cases, 2 in 4 starters) are all stars. Not really accurate.

I have no problem, in a two-division league, where kudos are given to individuals. 

Good play should be recognized, even if sometimes, it's borderline.

There are occasions where a deserving player is overlooked because there is depth at that position.

It's still far from a participation ribbon.

 

It's just a celebratory award and shouldn't be taken too seriously, contract negotiations notwithstanding.

Four words: Will Ford, Division All-Star.

Why not bring him in and let him compete?

As long as Cauchy isn't the starter for 2014, I'll take a pass on Alexander.

The #Bombers are talking to free agent safety and Winnipeg native Donovan Alexander. Not sure how serious it is, though. #CFL

 

 

Can't imagine Alexander's price would be high right now.

Love it.  Increase the Canadian competition at camp.

Give him a shot, worth the risk as he is from here and has some experience ...
