...figured this deserved its own thread. As per twitter, Kevin Glenn is now a member of the Montreal Alouettes....

Riders are probably the only team in selling mode

It was pretty obvious that Montreal had to make a move such as this, but Sask. made a huge blunder if that's all they got for a QB who is capable of starting almost right away, and giving the Alouettes a better chance to win a game or two.

They had Montreal over a barrel on this one, and ran a fade route instead.

If Cato doesn't get hurt the Riders are left holding onto Kevin Glenn for the rest of the year and get nothing for him.

 

A 5th rounder for three games of Kevin Glenn is more than fair.

Bombers need to counter by obtaining a running back or a big play receiver

 

Just what I was thinking - offer them a conditional** 6th rounder for Dressler.

 

 

 

** valid only if we win the cup this season

If we can only get Demski.

It's trade deadline day. Regina either got something for Glenn today or nothing for him.

Definitely improved their position.

 

 

Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Record: 5-10

2016 Draft Picks: 2nd, SSK 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th. (Forfeited 1st pick in supplemental draft)

The Bombers are 5-10 with very thin playoff hopes. Getting in as third seed in the West earns a team the prize of going into either Calgary or Edmonton to try to win on the road against one of the CFL’s best teams. The Bombers should be sellers, with a goal of improving their Canadian talent or adding draft picks. But the franchise desperately needs to show it’s improving and getting into the postseason will help sell hope and season tickets for next year.

 

The Bombers seem to be a C-plus or a B around the board. They’re okay at a lot of things but not excellent at anything. They could use help everywhere.

 

The most obvious needs, however, are a consistent threat in the backfield and an accomplished receiver. Matt Nichols has proven capable in the absence of starting quarterback Drew Willy but the Bombers offence lacks consistency in both the run game and in the pass catching department.

Nailed it.

That's bad news for the Bombers play-off hopes.

Riders have more talent offensively than the Alouettes do, don't fret just yet.

Hope it back fires for the Als. That fanbase needs to miss the playoffs a few times.

Not surprised but not really worried. Glenn hasn't been good recently and like someone said the riders have more O talent.

I was afraid of this.  This really hurts the Bombers playoff chances.

Or increases it. The weather is starting to turn which means KG is ready to start throwing terrible picks followed by the classic KG turtle and weak ass injury excuse like he always does. KG sucks and MTL can have him.

You can spin this however you like, but the bottom line is Glenn is a better QB than anyone the Als had.

Yeah I'll give you that but doesn't change KG's history of blowing it when all is on the line & blaming everyone but himself...

Get Glenn for next year too. I can see them starting him next year and giving Cato some more time to develop under a vet QB.

There will always be the haters.

Led two teams to the Grey Cup, and probably won 2007 if healthy.

I don't hate KG, but this doesn't really change MTLs prospects for a playoff spot. Though, with AC calling the plays that may help a lot as himself and KG are the same in getting the ball out quick, don't get hit type of play.

With Glenn, locked up by Als thru 2016... and all teams seems set at the QB position... Walters should have no problem extending Nicholls. No #1 QB position is vacant.

 

EDM - Reilly

CGY - Mitchell

WPG - Willy

BC - Jennings/Lulay

SSK - Smith/Durant

 

HAM - Collaros/Mathews

TOR - Harris/Ray

OTT - Burris

MTL - Glenn

I'm wondering if Popp believes bringing Glenn on board will help them get closer to that elite status he felt his team was lacking when he let Higgins go.

When did Glenn blame anyone? He has always kept his thoughts to himself. 

There will always be the haters.

Most overused and often times misused word of 2015 imo.

 

But back to the issue at hand. Imo, Glenn is still very appealing from a supporting cast point of view but no where near a starring role that he once was.

Good trade for both teams. The Als needed a QB to have any playoff hopes and didn't give much up. Glenn wasn't in the Riders plans for next year and didn't have a contract anyway.

 

Apparently he was in their plans as they had verbally agreed to an extension for next season.  He's already worked out the same deal with Montreal.

Considering the whole 1 year extension thing... the Riders didn't get very much at all for him. Nichols has just this year left and got a 7th rounder... Glenn had agreed to an extension with the riders and now agreed to it with Montreal and only got a 5th? That's not good value for the riders in my opinion.

The Bombers give up a 6th if he's on the roster next year.

If MB is still the OC next year, the Bombers #1 QB position will be vacant after week 3, at the latest.
