TRADE! The @EdmontonEsks have acquire SB Cory Watson and a 2nd round pick for LS Jorgen Hus and a 3rd rounder. (Both picks 2016) #CFL

 

So why do they have to  add to the trade to be able to get a long snapper for Watson? After they traded a 2nd round pick for him...

 

Is this guy coming from Edmonton supposed to be really good?

Yes he is a elite snapper

He also punts / placekicks the ball after snapping it to himself .. it's a sight to behold.

This honestly has the makings of being the worst trade I've seen in a long, long time.

Increases the probability that the Riders are picking a "skill" guy at 6.

Likewise the probability of trading that guy to the Bombers for the rights to Wade Miller's son.

I have to agree with Mike....has Taman regressed to the time he left here and said he was burnt out...lol...Giving up on Watson before he even played a down....what the hell is that...Draft pics and Taman seem not to be a good fit AND we seen plenty of that here...Unless there is something else connected to this trade that we don't know about....wow...this one smells to high heaven..

While Taman is still dizzy, maybe we can get their #6 for Bilukidi's or Mulumba's rights.

Gave us a 2nd round pick and a NI receiver for Watson and a 3rd round pick then traded him and a 2nd round pick for a 3rd round pick in less deep draft to get a long snapper?  I don't usually LOL at Taman like a bunch of you, but what a horrible trade for the Riders. 

Considering what they moved to bring him in and what they brought in to move him out without him ever catching a pass, this does not seem like the finest chapter in Taman's trade bio.

 

^^^ what Tburg said

This trade makes zero sense. Was Taman drunk when he did this?

Bizarre

Cap issues in sask?

I got a feeling that Edmonton will move Watson again to add more picks.

Probably to the Cats or Als for a 3rd or 4th rounder.

So essentially they turned their 2nd rounders this year and next year into 3rd rounders and traded Bastien for Jorgen Hus.

The irony in all of this?

 

The pick that Edmonton used to take Hus in 2013 was originally Saskatchewan's.

 

And they dealt it in another awful trade (4th rounder + Matt O'Donnell for Greg Carr + 5th rounder)

Wow. Just wow.

Increases the probability that the Riders are picking a "skill" guy at 6.

Or going with an International at SB? Or maybe Watson didn't want to report to Sask's camp? He seemed lukewarm ... probably wanted to go home to Mtl.

Hahaha this made my day.

 

Also for some reason I have Hus blocked on Twitter?!

With the addition of Watson, Edmonton now has 7 National REC - Bailey, Barrett, Chambers, Coehorn, Foster, Jackson and Watson.

 

I think someone has to move unless they are planning to start 3 National REC.

Will they trade up (to draft an OL) by giving up their #7, 1 of their REC and a later pick ?

Or they just have depth. Barrett is a project, Jackson is pretty much toast, Foster sucks and Chambers/Watson are injury concerns.

Wait I'm still trying to wrap my head around this... Sask traded away the better player and the better draft pick??

 

I think someone already summarized this... but they essentially traded 2015 2nd, 2016 2nd, and Kris Bastien for a 2015 3rd, 2016 3rd and Jurgen Hus... Nothing against Hus, but this doesn't seem like good roster management to me... even if Bastien and Hus are a wash, they traded down in both years...

 

confusing

I immediately just jumped over to riderfans to read the reaction... it's fun

This is just another step in the direction the riders where bound to go once they signed Taman.

He wasn't before the trade, but now that he is a Rider, He's achieved God status
