On Burris and Irony

Imagine Rider fans begging for his return when they thought it was their Rider fan duty to try and make his life hell when he visited there only to have Burris refuse the trade because of all that abuse. ?

 

You cant make this stuff up.

Just because the original thread got turfed due to the road it started going down .. I'm going to ask that people try to remain on point with the discussion else this thread will also be locked and be allowed to sink slowly into obscurity.

@CFLDaily: RT @ArashMadani: Have learned the Riders made trade offers for Henry Burris, offering a 1st round pick and more. Redblacks declined. #CFL

If I'm the Redblacks, I'm listening to this big time. Fleece those Rough Riders!

Seems like a curious event if there  is a chance Durrant could be back before the end of the year.

Trade Durant for Burris straight up !!!

Can't remember who posted it but I read Rob Bagg for Matt Nichols is in the works

This makes a lot more sense than Burris. I'm a big fan of Matt Nichols and I think he'll do quite well behind a strong Rider O-line.

He has the tools to be successful but durability and a bit of bad luck haven't allowed him to take that next step.  He'd definitely be a better passer than what they have their now and allow them to be more than a one dimensional team ..

You would have to think it wouldn't happen until after the Riders and Esks play though right? Don't want to get burned giving a team you're close in the standings to a qb. 

And then, the Eskimos would be in a vulnerable position, should Reilly go down. (not that would ever happen). whistle.gif

And they're in the same division.

Why would edmonton do this trade?

Unless they get Christmas early.

There will be no trade for Burris, it's just Madani stirring the pot & being a mouthpiece for Desjardins. And like I stated for the past 2 weeks....

@robvanstone: The word from Durant and the Roughriders' medical people is that there's an excellent chance of #4 returning at some point in 2014.

Sooooo December 30th?? ;)

The RedBlacks turned DOWN a first round pick + more?! Holy geeze Desjardins.

It's funny that you accuse Madani of being a franchises media mouthpiece and then quote Rob Vanstone of all people as your source for Durants health.

Vanstone provided his source, Durant & the team.

Declining a first round pick and 'more' for a 39 year old quarterback...  That officially puts Desjardin past Joe Mack as worst GM in CFL history.

No bias there.

The esks management is in love with White. 

My original theory was a three way trade involving Montreal with Troy Smith going to Ottawa....  Nicholls may also make sense.

Except for the part where Troy Smith had actual trade value... other than that, pretty solid.

Didn't you just say Madani is a "mouthpiece" for Desjardins, implying that was his source???

Who would you rather have as a source for Durant's health?

Vanstone stated who is source was, the team itself.
