17to85 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'm not sure whats with all the Ellingson love. He had a great half of 2013 to start his CFL career, then he tailed off and got injured continuously. He'd be an upgrade over Romby or Kelly sure, but who wouldn't be? The idea is that with a couple years under his belt there's no adjustment period like you'd see with a raw rookie and he's shown he can produce and might have potential to do more. Worst case scenario you get a decent #3 option at receiver, best case he uses his experience to break out and become more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark F Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Ricky Foley finds it within himself to address the trade. After reading this I actually kind of respect the guy. http://www.leaderpost.com/letter+from+Ricky+Foley+Riders+fans/10763797/story.html thanks, great letter by Foley.

holoman Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Lewis's tweet was like 4 hours ago. I'm not sure if Penton is basing his tweet off that and he's late to Twitter, or something went down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 @PentonKirk: Hmm. Wonder if the #Stamps have told Lewis they're not going to re-sign him. Here's his tweet ... #CFL @nikel18: Thank you to the @calstampeders for the 2014 highlights, so many memories in 11 yrs.

Jpan85 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm told #Als will announce the signing of Canadian-born WR Austin Collie.

Bang on post, I would like to add that I imagine he won't be making big money either so that adds to the appeal for teams looking for a 3rd receiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripper Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 CFL News @CFL_News Michael Sinclair will be unveiled as #Riders defensive line coach in early February It was a classy move by the Riders to let Sinclair out of his contract so he could join the Bears with Trestman. He is a good coach and is another key piece of the puzzle for us switching to the pressure defence as Sinclair knows it well from his 5 years with the Allouettes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Zurkowsky just tweeted that the presser he thought was to announce signing Austin Collie is actually for the re-signing of SJ Green. He also says that Collie is drawing interest from teams out West. My powers of deduction say that means he isn't signed by the Als yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
