Judge had a lot of potential and I wouldn't be surprised if he stepped up, but replacing Elemimian would be a shock.

Does that make him an FA again, free to sign anywhere? If the Lions can prove Cummings misrepresented himself during negotiations they may be able to get the signing bonus back. JCon 1

JCon Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 53 minutes ago, Floyd said: If the CFL voided that contract, they should give BC an exemption for the cap hit - that's pretty lame... Really hope this isn't just a weed charge. If it were, Carter's contract would have been voided too.
JuranBoldenRules Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 Absurd the Lions are on the hook for the cap hit on that bonus. Understand that they’d have to try to recover the actual money through the courts, but the cap piece makes no sense in this scenario. TBURGESS 1

He almost hurt himself. yeah, that's the play that I think of when I think of Hurl's tenure here. An MLB one-on-one with an RB in some traffic in the red zone in an elimination game -- he's gotta be able to make that tackle or at the very least slow the RB and give the rest of the D the chance to rally. Like Dave Ritchie said, you gotta beat the guy lining up opposite you if you want to win the game.
rebusrankin Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 I look forward to seeing Harris abuse Hurl three times this year. blue_gold_84 and BigBlueFanatic 2

I think he was gone from here by then. From the article: Provincial court documents show the 6-foot-3, 300-pound Atlanta native was charged last April with four criminal offences involving two alleged victims stemming from incidents in Vancouver on Oct. 16, 2016. His team at the time, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, played their regular-season finale at B.C. Place on Oct. 14, 2016. Cummings is charged with sexual assault, assault and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm to one person, and the sexual assault of another. blue_gold_84 and Tracker 2

It's one thing to come in midseason and tear **** up, but like I said in my last post, do it from the start of the season over the entire course and it won't last. guy will get too beat up doing it. No one can sustain that pace over a whole year. Sounds like somebody is accepting my avatar bet...
Floyd Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 So Bombers informed the league of the incident... then he signs with Eskimos and plays for a full season but now his contract is voided by the CFL after the CFL approved the contract filed by BC after free agency. CFL knew about this in November 2016 and charges filed in April 2017... hmm. Brandon, Tracker and Bigblue204 2 1

Sounds like he stayed on in Vancouver after the last game and really tied one on.

In other court news anyone know the results of Carter's delayed appearance before a Wpg. judge late last month? Didn't hear nuthin. Edited March 8, 2018 by Throw Long Bannatyne

blue_gold_84 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 http://3downnation.com/2018/03/07/bombers-aware-euclid-cummings-investigation-2016-informed-cfl/ Quote ...the timeline raises questions as to why the CFL allowed Cummings to play in 2017 if they knew he was under investigation and particularly after charges were laid. Former CFL commissioner Jeffery Orridge announced he was stepping down on April 12, just over two weeks before charges against Cummings were laid. Randy Ambrosie, who has taken a tougher stance on issues of domestic violence in his first year on the job, was named as his replacement on July 5, shortly after the season began. Boy, I'll say... WTF?
