Darrin Bauming has tweeted a pic of Quentin Saulsberry signing what I assume is a CFL contract. C/G prospect. Could we be starting a NI at tackle and an import at C?

I would rate January as the 4th best import tackle in the league behind Jovan Olafioye, Stanley Bryant, and Xavier Fulton. He is vastly underrated here for some reason.

The attitude that an import OL has to be some dominant monster is totally unfounded. There isn't a guy in the league like that these days.

Count me in the camp that thinks January is either worst of the best tier, or best of the second tier of OL in the cfl

Especially when most teams are using 4-5 imports on the DL and rotating edge rushers in and out.  The quality of pass rushers on the whole hasn't been better in my lifetime.

Not necessarily. Jones and Knapp filled in admirably in LT and RT respectively, consider they are with the team for just 5 days. Imagine what benefit of a full TC will do for them. 

 

Knapp didn't play LT in that game - he played RG.

I didnt say Knapp played LT... read my post

 

i think he played RT vs Edmonton

it's the game where he played good the first half until he got tired and Odell figured him out on the second

then we played 3 imports the next game (vs BC) with him playing RG

I predict Saulsberry to be our mean SOB starting center!

My mistake. I had my games confused.

There is no reason for Knapp to be on the TC roster...

Brian Simmons in Hamilton is in the mix for #4 as well. Joel Figueroa - their RT - is a fine player as well. Not top tier yet, but could be in the next year or two.

January is so underrated here it's criminal

……….I seen it before…it ain't right. There ain't no defence for that kind of thinking.

Its really odd how people devalue january here and yet overvalue every other player.. The guy has been the most steady and dependable tackle in our lineup since he got here..

Also, journeyman? How long does one person need on a team to lose said moniker? Hes been a bomber for how long?

Good call on Figueroa. He was a beast for them at the end of last season.

January is needed in a time like this. In a rebuild you need high character guys who lead on and off the field. I can only remember the first couple games in 2012 where he missed were a complete train wreck.

No argument here, but realistically, January is in the twilight of his career, and we can expect one more year from him at best, so if we can use his experience and leadership  as a bargaining chip to get a better draft pick or such, we gotta do it.

I'm not the biggest January fan but at 30 years old, he has more than one year at best. 

Am not devaluing January, in fact, he's one the guys on this team that can give us a higher value in a trade.

The only reason, I'm ok to part with him is because I believe we have a younger guy who is ready to take his spot.

Is he cut?

Interesting that appears right after they worked out Goossen. Bombers must be set on drafting Lavertu or Goossen.

i think they are on the limit too so in order to add one (Maher) they need to take one off

So he is a punter.

Darrin Bauming confirmed that he was released.

Poor guy.

Nope. LOL
