...Lawless says Riders looking at Ottawa Asst GM and John Murphy as potential new GM. Have asked for permission to speak to both. Fwiw.

Hearing the #Als are shopping non-import MLB @HenocMuamba. Edm would seem to be most-likely destination.

Seems odd that they would bail on him?

Bring Henoc home.  At least then my Muamba jersey would be relevant again.

right? think of all the relevant muamba jerseys again and possible boxes full of them the bombers can now unload, the move can practically pay for itself

I would atleast hope we would explore the possibility of bringing Muamba back.  He's a ratio breaker and would really fill our need at MLB...

 

We've got ratio breakers in Harris and Westerman. I'd love Henoc back as much as anyone, but not for the price he's gonna command. It's just not worth it...

He and JC Sherritt could be a formable duo...

Let's see, to get Henoc, a team has to agree to assume his contract of $235,000, pay him a bonus (included) of $55,000 before next week, and if Henoc chooses, he could bolt again in a year.

And, for that privilege, you have to give Montreal high picks?

The stampede for his services should begin at any time.

Henoc messed up signing with a Popp led team ... ouch, tough life lesson

For a fourth rounder in 2017.

Dont understand this trade... why not ask for a third rounder - they just used one to draft him

Desjardins just comes off as an ******* when he tweets stuff like this, he's not in a position to cast stones.

"Figure it out later"

Lets a Canadian defensive end walk who just registered 12 sacks this past season, after signing four receivers to big time contracts last offseason.

 

EDIT: I should correct myself in saying he didn't sign four receivers to big time contracts. He did trade for Maurice Price who had a hefty price tag, and he spent a good chunk of change on Sir Vincent Rodgers, along with what he's paying for Henry Burris. 

Bottom line - He shouldn't be running his mouth about spending money, nevermind his history of how he spent it before he was in Ottawa with other clubs.

See I read it as "We over spent the last few years because we had cap space and now it sucks because we don't have the space, I hope the other teams make the same mistakes I did"

This year's version of the CFL schedule should be much more fan friendly without the nonsense the Argos and the League have been put through at Toronto's Rogers Rogers's Centre.

TSN may actually be thinking of showing next year's Free Agent frenzy..

Cost of making your jersey relevant... $250,000

Cost of seeing you smile...priceless

You could have always changed the name plate to Hurl.

right now I am thinking of "Hawerchuk" but yeah if I changed it to Hurl the name on the back would match the vomit on the front  from watching a lot of those games last year.

The funny thing is that I am pretty sure I used to do his dad's taxes back in the mid-1990's in Calgary.  There aren't a lot of other people in Calgary with that last name.

Looks like the 3 teams snapped out it as Montreal blinked first and released Muamba. More turmoil and NFL tryouts before Muamba embarks on his next CFL tour.

Why trade for a player that you know will cost you 60K from the get go and you know will be released prior to the payment due date? Nice try Popp.

Well, if several teams really wanted said player - remember the Reilly sweepstakes?
