I doubt Dinwiddie just traded Arbuckle without lengthy discussion, it certainly looks like Arbuckle did not want to share the QB position with MBT, or back him up and likely chose the trade option instead of showing patience.

Salary was also a factor, just found this.

 

Money also factored in the decision. John Murphy, Toronto's vice-president of player personnel, said the club couldn't afford to pay two quarterbacks as if they were starters, especially as more of Toronto's injured veterans become healthy and are ready to return.

``Having two starting quarterbacks was a really good concept until this point,'' he said. ``You can't successfully put your best ''A`` roster out there if at the same time you're paying two starting quarterbacks.''

So, Murphy made the choice & not Dinwiddie? I never liked the guy. He's been an asshat wherever he went.

Foucault is like Sukh Chungh. Can't pass block or run block. So, naturally he starts. Brutal. His nickname should be Poupee De Chiffon.

He is the kind of assistant to fight a fan.

That may have pooched his career. Depends if the CFL rescinds his indefinite suspension as it could become permanent. He had to know what he did would not turn out well & he still went off. Those fans were asshats but still...

It's asshats all the way down.  No one looks good in that situation but I would never hire someone without the self control to avoid fighting fans. Like seriously. Guy deserves to be black balled from the cfl.

I feel bad for Steinhauer... that would've been a dream job for him... but this is great news for the cats and the CFL... we want good people/coaches like this in our league

He literally stole that from Rod Black. Old joke. 

I believe that origin of that joke was former Patriots running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis... his nickname was "The Lawfirm"

Chris Jones will certainly help that org gain respectability. 

[Geebrr]

Elks fans were speculating that TG may be offered the team president role.

Now, they also speculated thst he may be named the assistant GM there as well.

Clearly not knowing he is an assistant GM here. So a big "nope" on that happening.

 

[rebusrankin]

Selfishly I am happy TG isd staying with us.

[bigg jay]

We'll lose him eventually, it's the price of success and he's earned it but happy to have him back in the meantime.

[Booch]

glad he back...and I sure he glad to keep building on the last 2 seasons...continuity is key...look at the last 3-4 years and total lack of circus and wtf moments with the organization....such a nice change from the dark ages...which are still too damn close i the rear view for my liking...and nothing beats being a model flagship organization in the league where u bet all other 8 teams are trying to replicate

[Arnold_Palmer]

After what Chris Jones pulled in Edmonton I’m shocked they would ever allow him to step foot in that organization again.

New name same old pile of crap in Edmonton. 

Feel bad for tg. He deserves his own team. But I love having him back. 

To be fair tg probably planned on building a high character team and the Edmonton 0fers knew it'd take twice as long to build if they had to cut the trash guys. 

Jones walks in for an interview immediately rips off his shirt and flexes. 

Edm execs ...bro

Jones...bro

Edm execs you're hired bro.

Jones I know bro. Let's do this again in 3 years bro.

Says all you need to know about the execs in edm

[wbbfan]

Some poor kid in high-school. Is coach coming back?

The hs "dream job". When Chris Jones leaves you don't lose your coach you just lose your turn. 

[Booch]

shows how desperate EDM must be....and also they need to have a dual role guy....feeling the pinch $ wise with the coaching cap...

The good news is EE can play Walker at DB to save some cap space. Things are looking up already!

[rebusrankin]

Chris Jones's last day with the Elks, so of course they bring him back. Tell me your team is a mess without saying its a mess.

Well Buono said that he would prefer a person with experience as a GM ,  so it's not surprising. 

[Bomber_fanaddict]

I predicted Jones was heading back to Edmonton long before the season ended. I also predicted Duke would make his return there as well. Jones loves he’s Dbag kinda players.

Apparently not his first choice and the board went in another direction. The one thing with Chris Jones is he does win, do people like how he does it no but he does win a lot.

[JCon]

Trash hire by a trash org. He'll screw them over at some point and they'll deserve it.
