BREAKING: Have learned the Edmonton #Esks have traded for #BCLions back-up QB Mike Reilly. Done deal. Massive move by #Eskimos. #CFL

Damn, this just might make the Eskimos relevant again.

sounded like Reilly was going there anyways as a free agent so to get something for him is a bonus

you may be on to something. He has already signed a contract extension with Edm.
so BC moves up in this year's 2nd round, and gets Edm's 2nd rounder next year.

TSNDaveNaylor: Here's the terms of Mike Reilly's contract: 70k to sign, 70K base, 72k of game-start bonus and 40k-plus of stat and all star incentives #CFL

rumour is Jarious Jackson might be coming back to BC as QB's coach/emergency backup ... wonder how that works with the salary cap???

OK, here's what you do:
1) be big
2) run forward one and a half yards
3) fall down.

Stamps defensive end Chris McCoy is now a member of the Philadelphia Eagles...

I've always liked Bratton, but I wonder how serious that knee injury is...McPherson will never be a starting QB in the CFL.

Alouettes release Bratton, McPherson and Guy

Might be the future OC for the Leos (as Chapdelaine is starting to get considering for some head coaching gigs).

McCallum is back for another year with the Lions...

McCallum to play 21st season, signs extension with Lions

Stamps sign receiver Terrence Jeffers-Harris...I was thinking the guy was closer to 30 (but I was wrong lol). 6'2" and 218 lbs, could use that size in the Flames lineup.

TSNDaveNaylor: Terrence Jeffers-Harris seems like a guy who's been around a while. But is just 24. Signs with Stamps. #cfl #stamps

Eskimos trade Messam to Montreal (what will the Als do with Whittaker?)

TSNDaveNaylor: RB Jerome Messam traded from Edmonton to Montreal for a 6th-round draft pick. #cfl #als #esks

TSNDaveNaylor: Esks DB Rod Williams Tweets he is a Minnesota Viking. #cfl #esks

Won't miss that guy, he's the best DB on the Eskimos.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

yup slightly lower key but he has made Paris Jacksons departure/retirement a virtual given

or maybe not

Lions re-signed him last night ... dont know why ... older ... slower ... doesnt run good routes anymore ...

/prolly because he'll work for food

Never seen Buono buck up financially for a player like he did today for Elimimian. Triples his salary.

Farhan is saying the Aluminum deal isnt done yet ... could be some Sikh on Sikh crime for who gets the story on the deal first

It's no longer Swaggerville, it's Muamba town.

FarhanLaljiTSN: Cauchy Muamba signs with #Bombers. Will play with brother Henoc. #BCLions #CFL
