So Foley is an Argonut once again. Probably doesn't mind the trade, although I don't think he's any better off. Going from the rabid fans in Regina and a lot of rah rah, to back playing in the ghostly silence of the 'Mall' called skydump. He might have preferred making his own choice by waiting till fa but I guess Taman schmoozed him into signing, so he could pull the pin on the trade. Such is the world of football sometimes.

All they need to do is fit him with a banjo and he'll fit right in.

Oh that would be so nice if the talks went completely south and he becomes available. I'm sure a lot of gms are watching this one with interest.

Gonna miss those hard licks he handed out. He sure kept the oppositions offence honest. Some fans were saying he was a 'tweener' and wouldn't last long down there BUT a hard hitting guy like he is should position up somewhere in the nfl. Most likely special teams. Good luck to him and hope he makes lots of coin. IF he doesn't stick, the door is always wide open for him in the Peg.

Totally expected for weeks now. I see Cortez is oc and qbs. coach and Khari has been shifted to receivers coach. Tedford is bringing in all kinds of new people it appears. New blood is always good I guess??

Italics....thought I'd try something dif....And you're right Heenan is very human and a very good canuck o lineman. lol

With regard to Heenan signing here...He works a farm in Sask. and is very family oriented. Moving one province over would be an advantage, other than living in Sask. itself. Seeing as Cal. will most likely not be in the running for an o lineman, we will be certainly a consideration. I think if Heenan doesn't make it in the nfl and Walters can come up with the right cash, I can see Ben being very interested in signing here. We shall see in about 19 days.

FINALLY...had me worried there for awhile. It's all good now...welcome to the Peg Mr. Hall.

B.C. definitely would've been in the market for him IF he was an fa. They would have had to trade to get Tate in any event. Lulay is an uncertain and quite frankly another hit on that injured shoulder and it's all over. Nobody at their no 2 unless Tedford has something in is back pocket. The leos are in a world of hurt at the most important position on the field. Could see them going after Brohm.

Stamps is no SJ Green for starters and coupled with the loss of Carter, don't kid yourself Als. are hurting in the receivers dept. Stamps is nearing the end of his career but is still a competent receiver. However Crompton needs more than just competent. That great o line of the Als. can only keep this guy upright for so long while he searches for an SJ or Carter who won't be there. They could still pick up a good receiver in fa. but even then they'll be hard pressed to stay on top in the east. I see a big turn down in Poppville.

Dressler would be nice but I like this Ellingson guy as well. Great hands and a very deceptive type of receiver. To my recollection he didn't drop too many and can take the hits. I think we'd forget all about Matthews if we could sign him. Dressler is going to cost someone a lot of dough.

Glad we have both on the club. Solid receivers with good hands. Both are young and neither one of them have reached their true potential. It's a saw-off as far as I'm concerned but this year could see one of them jump ahead. I hope we give each player equal playing time to make a better call. We'll see.

Unlike Labatte, Rorys girlfriend is from the Peg.....good luck on that one.

Who says he was second choice. According to reports he was being considered as an equal talent for the position. Hall will do a heckava good job here.

Hall it is then?? Guess Bene. doesn't like the prairies and would rather stay home unemployed. Kidding aside..apparently he has a relative who is not doing well health wise. Got to give the guy credit IF that's why he's staying home.

The statement about Heenan being a Canadian and a tackle being a commodity. Lawless forgot to say he is also young. IF we signed him he could be a mainstay on our line for a long time. Here's hoping.

Fritzy Hanson was one fast little fella. Kind of like a modern day Charlie Roberts...now you see him...now you don't. Hanson was a great football player of his time. A long with Jack Jacobs...true icons of our past.

IF we offer the kind of money that Lawless is saying we may/ should/could offer, then the riders are going to have a helluva job holding on to Heenan, no matter how many burger joints in Regina offer up as a signing incentive. Don't forget we have Bucks whole hog and Obies fare to tantalize the big o line guy. Regina has nothing on us...period.lol

Cronk...Bonk....Solid football names and they both were/are Bombers. Good move to secure a long snapper.

Well that's a hit to our D. First really bad news of the off-season. Going to be hard to replace Wild but in any event good luck to him.

Didn't think we'd go this route BUT if Wylie likes him and thinks he has something left, I'm okay with that. I just hope we don't stop at Picards acquisition and continue to look at others seriously, come fa...which is coming up fast. Wowzers.

Solid signing and the pieces are slowly being put in place for a solid year. Good work Walters.

Mr. Broadbeck reporting with his pro-con. bias. I think we can all see through this. Nice try Mr. Negativity, stadiums cost money and those are the facts. The debt may be a fact of life for awhile BUT the stadium will be with us forever. Get lost Mr. Broadbeck.

Yeah, I remember we tried to re-sign him, some years ago, and he said adios. Good luck Dominic.

Riders are downloading as they have a whole lot of fa's hanging out there that they want to re-up. Picard is a casualty with more to come I would imagine. Dressler is going to cost them and TBrack, never mind Heenan. Good luck Riders. Taman better get the lead out and no we don't need Picard.
