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

Eskimos QB White retires http://fw.to/EwXMcsH  #CFL #Esks via @CFLonTSN

Has not said why he retired but he had a pretty significant concussion last year.

Given his history, it wouldn't be a stretch to question his love for Football.

Deadmonton must be pretty choked.. He was the man in many eyes over there it seemed..

I never was impressed with White. How many athletic qbs have we seen that come up here with the big arms & million dollar legs who just don't make it? I'd say 7 or 8 out of every 10 of them end up going home. 

@PentonKirk: Receiver Bakari Grant has re-signed with the #Tiger-Cats. #CFL

I suppose this could go here but judging by the twitter feed on the side, it's just a matter of time b4 the argos are playing at BMO field, probably for the start of next season it sounds like. That's some great news really. 

Edit

Braley has to go. Any good he did for the CFL is now long gone. He's as bad or even worse than any other owner that team has had. If they do move into BMO & actually have an owner who cares it'll take years to undo the damage these idiot owners in the past including Braley have done to the Argos brand & the CFL.

I think playing in a baseball stadium is the biggest issue

@ArashMadani: Per #CFL sources: #Argos are putting on a recruiting push to sign Jamaal Westerman, a veteran NFL LB who under new rules would be a Canadian

@ArashMadani: While #CFL sources tell me the BC Lions also has interest in Jamaal Westerman, the veteran LB is in Toronto and they hope to get a deal done

Mentioned this on Twitter once or twice in February, but the longer we wait, the more I think he may just have been offered a shot at mini camp or may have been released by now in favor of someone they liked better.

didn't it say he signed a contract? Or does that just mean nothing...?

 

 

Kinda means nothing.

 

We signed a DB by the name of Jeff Richards last year, never announced it, brought him to mini camp and he didn't impress, so we cut him.

 

Signed and cut before ever announcing it. More common than we think.

@PentonKirk: The #Eskimos have released cornerback-returner Joe Burnett. #CFL

Sounds like an underdog we all can cheer for.

@PentonKirk: The #Eskimos have released cornerback-returner Joe Burnett. #CFL

He is one hell of a good returner. I wonder why the Esks cut him. Are they so flush at DB? Wasn't that long ago he led the league in INTs and he's only 28.

@PentonKirk: The #Eskimos have released cornerback-returner Joe Burnett. #CFL

I'm a big fan of his, we're stacked in the secondary but I'd make room for him.

With Stoudermire, Randle, and Bucknor, there is just no room for Burnett. Maybe at field HB he would have a shot at replacing Bruce Johnson but IIRC the Esks tried Burnett at HB and it didn't work out. He will sign with Ottawa.

Burnette was hurt a lot last year.
