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

This is hands down the craziest late season transaction period ive ever seen. 

 No idea what Toronto is thinking. Id take any of these guys. 

I have never seen a team sack pretty much all their receivers in one swoop. If we wait a couple of days, we might get a certain Winnipeg ex-pat player for free.

No kidding. That following a hand full of trades including the willy trade which is border line block buster with how much TO gave up.

Oh man thatd be soo sweet. 

Every Western team had added an impact player over the last couple weeks. The Bombers need to add both a big, aggressive Dlineman and Receiver. If not I think they are going to struggle keeping up .  Too one dimensional at those positions.

Who?

I'm clueless lol

Yes please on Gurley or Hazelton or both. Our receiving corps is extremely underwhelming. Character issues aside, this could be a wake-up call for these guys and a chance to redeem themselves. Gurley was a manbeast last year.

Anthony Coombs- now don't you feel silly?

Edited October 4, 20169 yr by tracker

Ah yes....don't see that happening this year. I was thinking recently cut from the Pats.

Would be nice though. Can't see how Coombs and Harris would share time. Hoping they sign him next year as a FA for sure

coombs has been a WR in TO. Hed come in imop for lochard as a wr and back up harris at RB. 

Wonder when will the Argos release Lemon ?

I would only go after one of, Hazelton or Elliot. Don't need to bring more than that in.

Among the four, I really like Gurley. Seems like a humble person, remember when he hand that ball to Milt when he caught the TD. Said he asked for some pointers from Milt and wanna learn from one of the best receivers in CFL history. 

Happens to be the biggest of the group too, at 6.04 230 lbs. 

On the other hand, Hazelton looks to be the cocky among the them but we need a little of that on our group of choir boys.

#CFL sources say the #Argos have released Vidal Hazelton, Kevin Elliott, Tori Gurley, and Phil Bates

One and only one reason that happens - these guys were poisoning the locker room.

Honestly, that's a huge set of stones on Millanovich.  Absolutely unprecedented.  Props to him for sticking to his principles.

After last week the Commish might benefit from spending an hour or two with him.

If controlled could be benefitial. I'd risk getting one or two to have a better chance of winning. This club has been lacking edginess for a long time. Especially on offence. 

Mayo and Sheppard have not been the answer and Smith has not impressed for the price paid.

This is a move of absolute desperation and if I were the GM, I would want to know how it was allowed to come to this. If true, it didn't happen overnight.

It makes no sense. Especially given that they are hosting the Grey Cup

If we are going to get one I hope it's Gurley .  I'm not convinced that all three of these guys are total cancers.  Maybe one or more will respond to this as a wake up call and it would be nice to be the beneficiary of that.

To get the Hurdy-Gurley man would truly be a "get" for this football club. A much needed piece.

Walters has invested in a couple of nice moves over the summer, and a move like this would rank right up there.

Do it..

We don't that they quit on the team or maybe protested something going on with the team, but Gurley better than any receiver we have.

Screwing around, being late, coming unprepared - that's quitting, not protesting anything.

I would easily take John Bowman who gave up on his club in a heart beat...  

When did Bowman ever give up on his team?
