I'd take that trade... but I doubt it's available... only cuz I've heard the Pens are high on Bennet... but I what do I know??

Does anyone know if he still has the reno business? Sounds like he's got himself set up nicely for post-retirement... like any smart CFLer would... best of luck to him...

He may be right... but it's only one scouts take... if the Seahwaks like him I don't think they really care what a guy who works for NFL.com (and not employed as a scout) thinks...

Assuming we don't break the bank... Rogers, Curran, and Jackson would be a phenomenally successful FA period, IMO... We'll need to improve our Canadian talent through the draft...

That's interesting. Chad Owens must be confused. I know he is Hawaiian, so he must be have ukulele and Kuale held in the same esteem. Both are smaller instruments of sorts, that aspire to be more than what they are. While they both can make noise, it's debatable whether they can be seen as useful…or just noise-makers. Uncalled-for low blow! The ukulele is a perfectly fine instrument

I find it ironic that Baltimore Colts moved to Indianapolis, the Baltimore CFLers (with the attempted Colts name) changed into the Baltimore Stallions, and then were kicked out by the move of Cleveland to Baltimore. Now the Indianapolis Colts can actually be called the Indianapolis CFLers with the roster including Freeman, Muamba, Carter, and Heenan. The Colts have been active in signing CFLers for a while, ever since Cal Murphy was part of their scouting staff.... I don't think Ryan Grigson (Colts current GM) was with the team when Cal was there but obviously there are still scouts who worked with him and liked his methods...

I'm no amateur scout but that kid looks like he has A VERY LONG WAY to go if he projects to have any sort of success in football... I would guess his first course of action would be to get in shape... probably could afford to lose about another 50 pounds... but you can't teach size and apparently he has a good attitude so you never know what he could amount to...

But we're one day closer to spring than we were yesterday plus we've had a pretty decent winter so far, particularly compared to last winter.True.. Some silver linings to the offseason clouds I suppose it has been an exceptional winter so for.. Only downer is, all the warm weather really makes -20 feel like -40 lol. I think to myself "it's so cold.." Then I think "but it's really not.. Man up!" I know this isn't supposed to be a weather discussion.... but for those of us who do a lot of highway driving.... this melting and freezing back and forth hasn't been great.... ideal winter for me would be consistently between -10 to -15 with just enough snow for a little ground insulation ... no one like frozen pipes

Would be nice to have two legit long-snappers though. Look what happened last year when Wild got injured...cost us about a TD every game while Wild was out because of poor long-snapping. I wonder if the Bombers have interest in Jordan Matechuk...interesting he hasn't re-signed with BC yet. Problem is I'm not sure Jones qualifies as a "legit long-snapper"

I guess this basically summarizes... but I'm wondering if Rids can provide a comparable or where he projects to be drafted??

You mean on the play that was blown dead? I recall everyone on that play stopping except for Turner... what a jerk!

I'm surprised there aren't more NFL fans here.... I love the Bomber #1 over everything else... no question about it... but when it comes down to watching football on Sundays in the fall... I'll take NFL over a non-Bomber CFL game.... actually every year I gripe about the Banjo Bowl being on the same sunday as opening weekend... obviously I've never missed one, but I'd prefer it on Saturday night so I have sunday to enjoy opening weekend...

This is actually the best thing to happen to the Riders... they don't have the cap space to sign him to a big deal now... so they hope he'll be gone for a couple years to give them time to recover... when he's ready to return to the CFL they'll write a big fat cheque.... hope he makes it in the NFL... just so this back-fires on the riders

That's a big one... literally and figuratively...

Just imagine it's five years ago and CITI and Power have changed places... that's basically where we're at...

for those who still think 92 is classic rock... I assume you haven't listened in about 5 years... they changed their slogan to from "Classic Rock" to "World Class Rock"... tricky, I know I usually stream radio at work so I listen a bit... I've been listening to "Big FM" this morning just to check it out and so far the playlist is pretty decent... we'll see how it unfolds....

Great news... for him

http://www.rodpedersen.com/ What an odd comment. I hope that's taken out of context... It's easy to spin that comment back to a negative towards Winnipeg.... when in reality he simply means that the Riders have been a winning organization over the last 10sih years... there was zero mention of the Bombers org...

bit of a reach, eh....

I do like this trade... but imagining Corey Watson in Riders green does make me feel a little sick to the stomach...

No... Darren Cameron stated on twitter that he cannot be named as per CFL policy... however, if he signs with the Bombers they will say he was part of this deal... As per @MorningBigBlue (Mike)

I was doing some browsing over at riderfans and the consensus seems to mostly be disappointment... no one is ready to blow up the entire team yet, but no one terribly thrilled with this move.... Common comment :"if he stays healthy, he could be a a good one"... sound familiar??

with 3 picks in the top 15 you'd have to think Richards and/or Demski are on the radar... and who was that kid from SFU, Durant?

I like that we got something for Watson.... but I hate seeing guys I like go to Saskie... Good luck to him..

I read this on twitter this morning too... this one blew my mind.... Getzlaf is good, yes... but that is a ludicrous amount of money to spend on a 3rd rec...
