Figured it would be nice to keep all the non-Bomber dealings of the offseason in one centralized thread ... I'm sure there are exceptions for the BIG stories having their own threads as they come up, but for all the daily tweets and information, we could keep it condensed to one thread.

 

One rumor I saw yesterday from Drew Edwards ... WR Greg Ellingson to Ottawa to reunite with Henry Burris - would be a good move for Ottawa

CFL News @CFL_News

Stamps special-teams co-ordinator Mark Kilam was contacted by Univ. of Calgary about vacant head coaching position..via @SUNMitchell #CFL

@AdamSchefter: Delvin Breaux, a standout CFL CB who worked out for 13 NFL teams, has reached agreement with the New Orleans Saints.

Foley to the Argos for Emry. Didn't see that one coming.

Apparently Riders dealing Rickey Foley to Argos for Shea Emery....

Edit...

Delete pls. Beat to the punch...

Big fan of Foley, sorry to see him go. Emry is younger and we need a MLB in the worst way. Shea is also familiar with the pressure defence we want to run. Good move for the Riders.

Emery is a young-ish, NI LB. Foley is a douchebag American DE which Tamar can recruit. This is a real easy trade for Taman to make.

foley is Canadian

Emry is 4 years younger at 28. They are both Canadian.

Talented doucebag for talented douchebag. Guess the Riders need a Mac more than a DE.

Foley is expensive and has probably peaked. Emery was supposed to be a "difference maker" for TOR and wasnt, 

Nice trade but taman wins this one

Both sides win this one. Emry was a casualty of the Cory Greenwood signing

Nice trade but taman wins this one

Let's see what Emery does first. He fell way below expectations in TOR.

Foley is expensive and has probably peaked. Emery was supposed to be a "difference maker" for TOR and wasnt, 

Agreed.  I guess we are rolling the dice that Emry will regain the form from the Allouettes when inserted back into a pressure defence, which TO was not running.

Too bad more Priders arent taking a wait and see approach. Its a "win" for Taman because Emery is 28. Forgetting he hasnt been an impact player in years.

Emery will be 29 by camp. How much dfferent would his salary be from Foley?

@PentonKirk: The fact #Riders are taking on much more salary in Shea Emry suggests they think they're losing some big tickets in FA. #CFL

 

 

Saskatchewan leads the CFL with its 19 pending free agents. Taman said the Riders and Brackenridge's camp have "narrowed the gap" in their talks, but another factor in the process is determining how Brackenridge fits into new defensive co-ordinator Greg Quick's scheme.

I think that maybe he'd want to follow his DC to Winnipeg. There may be a couple of players off the Riders who may do that.

Must be a punch in the nuts for Rider fans

I don't like Foley either but I can't help but wonder whether he would have re-signed when he did or if he would have waited to become a FA if he thought he might be traded.

So Foley is an Argonut once again. Probably doesn't mind the trade, although I don't think he's any better off. Going from the rabid fans in Regina and a lot of rah rah, to back playing in the ghostly silence of the 'Mall' called skydump. He might have preferred making his own choice by waiting till fa but I guess Taman schmoozed him into signing, so he could pull the pin on the trade. Such is the world of football sometimes.

Foley Canadian and Ellingson American are two things I've realized in the last few weeks that I somehow completely whiffed on....had no idea..

And uh... Both of those were pretty obvious Eller... Hang your head in shame bud

As to the trade.. Meh, ****** for ****** and while both are Canadian, I'm not sure if Emry is still a game breaker and I know Foley ain't lol

Trash Emery all you want but he would have been good in the middle for Winnipeg last season.
