greenrider55 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 Good for Alford… his story is pretty awesome. Wasn’t playing at all in 2020, lost all of his professional workouts. CFL all star, Grey Cup champion, and now in the NFL. Great for him! rebusrankin, Super Duper Negatron, wbbfan and 7 others 6 4
Jpan85 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 Great news for Alford. If it does not work out he will back in Winnipeg, hopefully not though. would like to see one of our guys stick for a while in the NFL. Noeller, Rod Black, GCJenks and 2 others 5
Super Duper Negatron Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 Congrats to Alford. Hope it works out for him. Geebrr and Noeller 2
GCn20 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 If a slug like Lenius can get an NFL contract then a stud like Alford was almost certain to get one too. Luckily, secondary won't be an issue for us. We are deep there and have the best recruiting in the CFL for DBs. rebusrankin, GCJenks and Noeller 3

First pro every thing in 2021. I hope he kills it down in Atlanta. 2 minutes ago, Throw Long Bannatyne said: He's also not classified as a Global which I don't get. I believe once you are declared as an imp you can't change. But a few guys in the league should be re classified as globals. Geebrr, Stickem, rebusrankin and 1 other 4
Stickem Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 We just knew Alford was a super find and that he had a good chance of signing down south...Well there he goes and good for him....We recruit well in the db department .....and if we bring enough talent north in the numbers we brought to camp last year, I'm sure we can find another diamond rebusrankin, Noeller and Tracker 2 1
Geebrr Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 We have Nichols under contract I believe. We just need to dodge the NFL bullet. rebusrankin, Noeller, Nolby and 1 other 4

Bubba Zanetti Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 He should have a good chance at sticking with them. Atlanta's D is putrid. Noeller and wbbfan 2
rebusrankin Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 Good for Alford. Best rookie DB since Bolden in 95? wbbfan, Geebrr, JCon and 2 others 2 3
Rod Black Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 Great for Alford, too bad about Lucky not to be a BB. all I’ve seen about a National is that the guy has to be a Canadian citizen at the time of signing their first CFL contract or practice agreement, and some other definitions further defined here: https://cfldb.ca/glossary/rosters/ I couldn’t pass a test on the designations at this point.

Geebrr Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 Woo! JCon, blue_gold_84, Booch and 8 others 8 2 1
Bigblue204 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 Neufeld is back on a one year rebusrankin and Noeller 2
Arnold_Palmer Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 Perfect! Great Canadian vet who can play anywhere on the line. Much better as a guard but I digress if we can sign Biggie, Collaros, Alexander, and bring back 2/3 of our Canadian running backs I would be a very happy and satisfied man. Bigblue204, rebusrankin and Noeller 3
Booch Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 Solid!....don't even worry about Bryant ya'll....so we just need to lock in Couture now, and see what happens with Desjarlais....Prob almost a given Gray Re-ups rebusrankin, Geebrr, blue_gold_84 and 1 other 4

rebusrankin Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 Happy Neufeld is back. On Gray, isn't he roughly two years into working somewhere as an engineer? It takes 4 to get your professional designation so figure he keeps doing that and playing for us. Geebrr and Noeller 2
Stickem Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 Paddy is back........all is well.......Now Biggie and we're really starting to shape up Noeller 1
