Per @JDunk12: Esks, Riders talking trade. EDM wants No. 1 pick Josiah St. John AND a first for QB James Franklin. SSK, coherently, declined.

Ed Hervey vs. Chris Jones is going to be a real thing to keep your eye on over the coming weeks and months.

To reach for two first round picks, including No. 1 overall, in return for a back-up QB with a handful of pro starts is... hilarious, really

Rogers would have been amazing. But didn't he get the biggest signing bonus of any CFLer to the NFL? I thought I read that somewhere. What I'm saying is, even if he got cut by the 49ers, I think his CFL days are behind him.

I think he was second only to Cam Wake

The one I'd like to see us get is Terrell Sinkfield.

I would think that there is a good possibility that he may not make the Vikes...I just wonder if the Bombers would make a serious pitch for the guy at this point.  I guess it depends on what the injury situation is at that point. I could totally see the club sticking with Dressler, Smith, Denmark, Kolhert, and Mayo/Adams. Not sure who he'd replace. McDuffie as DI?

Mine is Chris Matthews not sure how realistic it is. We have lots of speed guys already. 

 

... and of course, our Canadian draft picks.

Matthews would definitely be my number choice. He would complete this receiving corp and make them scary. I doubt that he gets cut from the Ravens though. If he did I'm sure he'd be snatched up by another NFL team. I wonder if Darren Cameron still keeps in touch with him?

Timing couldn't be better for us. Hoping he comes back and shreds the lions.

Yep, he can beat all the Western teams now and the Eastern ones that would be involved in a crossover (if we needed it)  

Wait, did I just read that the Riders had another player retire today?

Never mind, it was Maze who wasn't playing this year.

Some levity from #Ticats Kent Austin in explaining his absence yesterday. "I had to get a lobotomy. You'd think after the last game, right?"

I think the Riders believe its still training camp;

Kent Austin??? A sense of ha-ha??? CFL's  Kent Austin???

Chris Jones really knows what he's doing

Ti Cats better hope there line plays better or else it might be a short lived come back.

The lobotomy must have gone better than expected.... it actually gave him a personality instead of taking one away.

I swear Sears is about the 4th player the Riders cut after TC only to bring back a couple of weeks later.  I'm betting Marte never actually left Regina and was probably being paid to hang around, kind of like the old taxi squad model.

Funny you say that, BLM has made the same claim.

What a freaking mess the Riders are. They're paying Chris Jones how much to coach & manage a fiasco?

 

Funny how the Rider fans reacted.

BLM accusing Riders of hiding players illegally.

Wouldn't surprise me actually. 

Before we get all up in arms, just keep in mind we do this too.
