Played in the team's first six games before spending time on the Practice Roster. He was selected by Chicago with the 99th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft (Rd #3).

iso_55 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 Poor saps don't know they're walking right into a player strike.
Floyd Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 Juaquin Iglesias is a very cool name. I am cheering for him now.
Goalie Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 man if this iglesias kid ever sees the field and scores a td, they need to play "hero" by enrique. That would be oustanding.
AKAChip Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 Didn't like Iglesias on the Bears, on the Argos or now. The other guy looks decent, though.
Mike Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 Yeah, not a big Iglesias fan. He has never been able to get separation. voodoochylde 1
Floyd Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 Officially giving up trying to understand this year's camp, ha... Ed Tait ✔ @WFPEdTait #Bombers soon to announce addition of imp OL Cordaro Howard, who was on prac roster last year #bn
Floyd Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 Yeah, not a big Iglesias fan. He has never been able to get separation. Don't you talk about Juaquin like that.
Nasty Nate Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 Where are they finding these guys? Uniform-fillers.com?

Ed Tait ✔ @WFPEdTait #Bombers soon to announce addition of imp OL Cordaro Howard, who was on prac roster last year #bn They wanted him back the whole time, he was waiting on NFL opportunities. So that one, I understand. Floyd 1
JuranBoldenRules Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 The way we are going through IMP OL and the number of them around makes me think we won't be starting fewer than 2 IMP on the OL.
Tracker Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 Scary to think we still need to bring in more import receivers and yet another import O-lineman. To my eyes, neither area needed shoring up, but our NI roster sure looks to need help with nothing on the horizon. DR. CFL and Westy Sucks 2
Jpan85 Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 Rather see them being pro active rather taking a wait and see approach. Still lots of time before season to get guys in and get them caught up. blitzmore 1
Nasty Nate Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 The way we are going through IMP OL and the number of them around makes me think we won't be starting fewer than 2 IMP on the OL. Minimum 2, probably 3. And the odd game they might go as high as 4, especially if Morley looks really old and The Goose is still a few games or a season away from starting.

Minimum 2, probably 3. And the odd game they might go as high as 4, especially if Morley looks really old and The Goose is still a few games or a season away from starting. With four imports on the O-Line we'd have to start Volney at RB and have three Canadian receivers.
Harbaugh Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 Iglesias was very, very good in college. Not sure how much everyone follows college ball, but he was the new, even better (in college) Mark Clayton for the Sooners. If he can get his pro career on track he can be a nice weapon for the Blue & Gold. If he doesn't pan out, whatever. No risk, high reward.

I'm going to ask you this once and move on, on the free press comments section there is a poster by the name of bob ganason, is that you? because only he'd mention something as ridiculous as what you did to a response talking about 4 import oline.. yup, should have drafted coombs, yeah that fixes our lack of canadian oline problem for sure.. blitzmore, Mr. Perfect, MinisterOfD5 and 2 others 5
IC Khari Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 As long as he doesn't break out in a rendition of "To All The Endzones I've Been In Before" ...
pigseye Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 It's not surprising at the number of bodies being looked at this training camp, the team needed an overhaul and it's getting one.
Floyd Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 CFL News @CFL_News #Bombers have released receiver Juaquin Iglesias, who was added to the roster yesterday. #CFL via @ScottBilleck NNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
gbill2004 Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 I had big plans for Bailamos after his TDs!!
rebusrankin Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 How do you sign a guy and release him the next day?
