WINNIPEG, MB., June 7, 2014 -The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed import receivers Juaquin Iglesias and Bert Reed.

Iglesias (6-1, 212, Oklahoma, August 22, 1987 in Killeen, TX) played six games for the Argos in 2013, catching three passes for 65 yards, all on Jul 11th vs SSK. Played in the team's first six games before spending time on the Practice Roster. He was selected by Chicago with the 99th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft (Rd #3). Played one game for the Bears and also had tryouts with Minnesota and Houston. Iglesias spent his college career at Oklahoma, where as a senior (2008) he caught 74 passes for 1,150 yards in for the Sooners, fourth best in school history. He played 54 games at Oklahoma with 202 catches for 2,310 yards and 19 TDs.

Reed (5-10, 183, Florida State, June 1, 1988 in Panama City, FL) was most recently with Jacksonville of the AFL. Previous to that, he spent brief times with Tampa Bay, Denver, Pittsburgh and Cleveland in the NFL. He played his collegiate football at Florida State where he finished fourth all-time in career receptions (170) for the Seminoles.

The way we are going through IMP OL and the number of them around makes me think we won't be starting fewer than 2 IMP on the OL.  

Minimum 2, probably 3. And the odd game they might go as high as 4, especially if Morley looks really old and The Goose is still a few games or a season away from starting.

With four imports on the O-Line we'd have to start Volney at RB and have three Canadian receivers.

Iglesias was very, very good in college. Not sure how much everyone follows college ball, but he was the new, even better (in college) Mark Clayton for the Sooners. If he can get his pro career on track he can be a nice weapon for the Blue & Gold.  If he doesn't pan out, whatever.  No risk, high reward.

I'm going to ask you this once and move on, on the free press comments section there is a poster by the name of bob ganason, is that you? because only he'd mention something as ridiculous as what you did to a response talking about 4 import oline.. yup, should have drafted coombs, yeah that fixes our lack of canadian oline problem for sure..
