The Saints really seem to be dipping into Canada a lot recently... a lot of NFL people think Delvin Breaux is a star in waiting and they're excited about the development of David Onyemata...

Stickem Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 Leo's take a big hit with one of their big hitters heading south....With Solaluminum having been an fa till just recently, and re-signing, takes the heat off somewhat....but they still have a lesser line-up with Bighill gone...Won't be easy to replace him and with us going head to head with them in the standings in 17', looks better for us.
bigg jay Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 Edmonton's turn for a loss (albeit an expected one).
Floyd Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 Khalil Bass and Darvin Adams stock going up... Mark F 1
bustamente Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 Seems like a lot of CFL players are being signed down south, good for the players bad for the CFL.

johnzo Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Man, Delvin Breaux's biography is crazy. He broke three vertebrae in high school, his college still honored his scholarship, he was kind of a player-coach in college for awhile, then he went to play in the super low minors (the Louisiana Bayou Vipers of the Gridiron Developmental Football League?) and onward to the AFL and Hamilton and today the NFL. Nice story. Edited January 6, 2017 by johnzo Mike, Noeller, Floyd and 5 others 8

Nice story. I think the CFL or TSN or something did a special on him. Really interesting story.
Dr. Blue Posted January 7, 2017 Report Posted January 7, 2017 Looks like the Als and Riders have had trade talks about Durant. LOL at Jones who asked for Adams in return. The Als gave up a first rounder for him with 0 experience, but Jones wants them to give him up after a year as a backup and for a QB who will become a FA in just over a month. I actually see this as more of a non tampering way for the Als to hint to Durant that they have interest in him. I really don't see many other suitable options out there for Durant, except for us, but I think we'll sign Nichols. He'll be the starter in Montreal and get paid. http://3downnation.com/2017/01/06/riders-alouettes-engage-darian-durant-trade-talks/
johnzo Posted January 7, 2017 Report Posted January 7, 2017 I know that this is the CFL and there's lots of player migration, but it's totally weird to imagine Durant in a Montreal uniform after all the great Durant / Calvillo duels back in the day. Kinda like seeing Roy Dewalt in blue and gold. Tracker 1
wbbfan Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 I wonder if we would have interest in bourke. Or if he'd be accepting reduced rate. He didnt have much to work with in TO.
WBBFanWest Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 I hope he ends up somewhere. That will please his biggest fan: Wanna-B-Fanboy and bearpants 2

GCn20 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 Yikes.....the BC Lions are taking a terrible beat down from the NFL this offseason. Wally better have some magic in that old silk hat.

He didnt have much to work with in TO. If he wants to play football, he'll need to be accepting of a reduced rate. He might have some value left as a guard, but I think his days as a tackle are over.
