The draft has always been a crap-shoot in every sport and in the CFL, we have added complication of the NFL lurking to shower any promising player with money to migrate southward. Still, we desperately need a homebrew premier receiver more than we need another promising quarterback.
It may not be as nutty as it first seems. Reilly would command a helluva price in a trade, and he is doubtless making mega bucks. Reilly has also been taking a real beating and I'm pretty sure all of his parts are not working like they used to. If Franklin is oozing potential, making a lot less money and is less beaten-up, a deal may make sense.
Like it or nor, this probably gospel. Whether or not he gets a smoking hot offer to go back to his home province, that we cannot control. Walters wants O'Shea back, Period. And I do not consider how popular a coach is as a measure of how good as coach he is.
I would be very comfortable with Glenn and Franklin should Nichols be unreasonable as to his value; we could sign both Glenn and Franklin to contracts that the starter eats steak, the backup eats tube steak.
Talk is that Burris is going to go out on top, so he's off the market if this is so. I would put the same offer simultaneously to both Nichols and Durant with the understanding that whoever accepts first gets the contract.
With so many dismal, non-competitive teams this year, it would not be a surprise. There has to be drama to games, and butt-kickings are only good for the team on top.
I may have exaggerated for effect but since they went to this appeal process, the games have been noticeably longer 20-30 minutes.With an unlimited amount of appeals.....
