gbill2004 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Start up the Glenn to BC rumors again: http://blogs.theprovince.com/2014/04/28/steven-jyles-a-no-show-at-lions-minicamp/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Odd. In the story, Buono says he didnt give Jyles a "ton of money" when he signed the contract, which implies to me he gave him *some* money. So did Jyles take the signing bonus cash with no intention of reporting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 No Jyles. His heart isn't in it, so what good would it do to show up? If he really wanted to play football, he'd have been there. Not a good week for Wally…no Jyles and no Danny Watkins: GM Wally Buono doesn't expect Danny Watkins to help the BC Lions this season or in the future. Buono said he believes the former first-round pick in the NFL is done with football, and has moved on with his life. Watkins played three seasons in the NFL, split between the Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins after being selected 23rd overall by the Eagles in 2011. Watkins was selected a year earlier in the CFL Draft, fifth overall by the Lions, but never played for the team. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=450563 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Khari Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'm torn now ... I'd love to see BC have to give up some draft choices to get Glenn but I also want to see Desjardins get screwed over and have to release Kevin and get nothing for him either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the Glenn thing blows up for him. Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 If I'm Walters I offer Max Hall to Buono for a trade for second rounder. just kidding. rebusrankin and IC Khari 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 hmm, bc could always go with lulay and a couple rookies. seems a few teams are going that route this year so far (montreal being one, hamilton also) I dont think wally really wants glenn that badly, i dont think he's willing to overpay for him, i guess we will see what happens. I get the feeling tho that glenn starts this season as a redblack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Wally never wants to pay for anyone. He's a cheap bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Looks like Wally will be retrieving Joey Elliot's phone number out of the garbage can....again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did Jyles take the signing bonus cash with no intention of reporting? I highly doubt Jyles got any upfront money. Buono said Jyles had only agreed to terms - doesn't say whether the contract was actually signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Khari Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I think we're all reading this wrong, Steven Jyles doesn't need any mini camp work. Besides, Steven Jyles doesn't wear a watch, he decides what time it is (with apologies to Chuck Norris) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_fanaddict Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Sadly I feel that this makes BC slightly better now IC Khari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBieber Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Not surprised, his contract was never registered with the league, so I had always wondered why. Turns out this would be why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Wally was a great coach but just a complete you know what as a GM. He is constantly grinding his players. If he thinks they can win with the backup qbs he has now if Lulay is injured again then more power to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasty Nate Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Lulay better have a fresh jet pack and new flubber on his sneakers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Wallyworld has had it's fair share of bad rides this offseason. Looks good on them and the more hits they take the better. I know Banks is probably loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
