CFL off-season thread

Well, that sucks if true.

FarhanLaljiTSN: Hearing from a source in Toronto that the #Argos have agreed to terms with @sheaemry. Huge signing - a ratio changer for the Boatmen

 

[dash]

FarhanLaljiTSN: #BCLions did increase their offer today to @NickMoore_1. Now they wait, with #TiCats, #Bombers & #REDBLACKS. #CFLFA14 #TSN

I don't know what was said and frankly I don't care...

"The comments made by these players are extremely disappointing and do not represent the CFL's views or the views of the vast majority of our players," said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. "The CFL is supportive of openly gay athletes in professional sports and we commend the courage shown by Michael Sam. During the off-season, we have been working with an organization that specializes in this subject and look forward to announcing a formal partnership with them in the near future."

Drew Willy for game 1 - Who knows for game 2?

in the case of strange bedfellows (or gals) ... Nick Moores ladyfriend was bff's with Vancouver Whitecaps striker Kenny Millers bizarre wife Laura

FarhanLaljiTSN: Buono restated his interest in @CButler28 "We think he's a very good player that could help our ball club" #BCLions #CFLFA14

Probably the best Canadian safety in the league (and can play some linebacker if required as well)

FarhanLaljiTSN: Nick Moore's contract will put him in 'Geroy territory'. Will make 175k+ on a 2 year deal. #Stamps, #REDBLACKS #BCLions in mix for Josh Bell

I'd like to bring Josh Bell to Calgary, get 'er done Huff.

thats over 2 years right? ... its a significant raise since he was prob making $35 to $45 per ... still though ... who throws him the ball ?

I think I read that the Leos and Nick Moore were about 30k apart - Wally offered $150k and Moore wanted $180k

$15k per is hefty ... he'll be leaving an expensive place to live for a cheaper place to live so thats something too

but his ladyfriend will probably leave him ... might be a good thing












/still though ... who throws him the damn ball???

 

[dash]

Drew Willy will throw him the damn ball (played his college ball at the University of Buffalo, backed up DD in Saskatchewan). Already named starting QB in Winnipeg.

FarhanLaljiTSN: Craig Butler returns home. Signs with #TiCats. #CFLFA14 #BCLions #Riders

Okay Huff, I still think Josh Bell would look good in the Stamps secondary.

Seems like all the big free agents are heading East:

Nothing big yet, although I think they're trying to bring Keron Williams back (that would be big). Lots of change both in personnel and coaching, interesting year upcoming for the Lions.

Tim Horton's Field, good for Hamilton, they needed a new stadium badly.

 

[dash]

FarhanLaljiTSN: Both the #Stamps & #REDBLACKS have offered DB Josh Bell more than #BCLions. I expect him to rejoin Rich Stubler in Calgary soon. #CFLFA14

I hope it happens, Bell would be a fine addition.

Healthy season would help
