braddman19 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 A bit surprising. Not crazy surprising, but a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Surprised by this move... Will Edmonton pick him up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Can only carry 3 import RBs on the roster for so long. Not really surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Maybe Saskatchewan will pick him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 If Cotton's 100%, then this makes sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basslicker Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 To be honest, I thought we had already cut him. With Grigsby and Cotton we are set at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Sad to see him go, I liked him a lot. Pretty much verifies that an import RB can not be traded for anything. Expect Ford to reappear with a rival team soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 A bit surprising. Not crazy surprising, but a bit. The only surprise is that he was actually brought back this year. He doesn't really do anything well enough to justify being anything more than a backup and we seem to have guys who can do that job better.

saskbluefan Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Plus Bolton is on the PR. That was 4 import RBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbrg Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 He would have had to mount a strong defence of his roster spot in camp and wasn't healthy enough to do it. In years past being the incumbent might have been enough, but Walters brought in some really talented players this year. Hope he lands on his feet, and thanks for his time in blue and gold.

bearpants Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 no surprise here... I expect him to resurface somewhere soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I don't think anyone's particularly surprised. I don't think he resurfaces quickly if at all. Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Khari Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Walters has a better idea ... or is that FORD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Saskatchewan and Edmonton are both still trying out running backs. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets a shot in either place. Maybe Ottawa but Ford brings a pretty similar skill set to Chevon Walker so I don't know if he would help them out too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty Liver Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Ford is an elite kickoff returner so this might help his cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valderan_CA Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Surprised by this move... Will Edmonton pick him up ? John White is a player - He impressed the **** out of me in the Ottawa game with his blocking. He wasn't running half bad either.

rebusrankin Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 A little surprised he wasn't worth a late pick. Makes sense though with Grigsby and Cotton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 not surprised at all, saw this coming a while ago. Unfortunate for Mr Ford but... it was pretty obvious this was bound to happen. Best of luck to Will in his future, i doubt that future includes another CFL team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardCoreBlue Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 A bit surprising. Not crazy surprising, but a bit. The only surprise is that he was actually brought back this year. He doesn't really do anything well enough to justify being anything more than a backup and we seem to have guys who can do that job better. No not suprising. He had a decent year last year considering our woeful record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPuDS Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Not a shocking release, I expect he will land on his feet with another shot here in the cfl.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
