Around The League Regular Season Discussion

[rebusrankin]

Terell Sinkfield would be a nice add. 1000 yard receiver last season and can return kicks.

[Goalie]

Muamba waived by Dallas 

The Esks 1st Rd pick was also waived by Dallas . However both are listed as Waived/Injured. 

[bustamente]

Can't say i'm surprised by Muamba being cut was trying out a outside lb,  playing time was mostly in the later 2nd half and really couldn't cover anybody. To old to just a special teamer

I see the Riders opening up the bank to airlift Sink field and Muamba ...

We might have to cut back Brett Favre's and a few others pay on the taxi squad but we can make it work.

Money? It's only money. What the hell, they'll just pay the fine.

Right but if you wanted one available to hear a case within days of it occurring rather than 8 weeks, you would have to be paying them to be part of the CFL's full time staff.

Any half-decent arbitrator will be hearing a lot of cases throughout the year and would make way more money than he/she would being on the League's staff.

That is one reason among many that arbitration cases take so much time.  I don't know what point you think you're arguing but it's one I never made.

OL Alex McKay added to PR. Kris Adams released.

Wondering if both Smyth and Dressler will be back for Sunday then?

[Noeller]

Curious if it means anything that we're adding an OL (is someone hurt?) or is that just "hey, free NI OL!" to keep around just in case....

[Mike]

Needed a second national on the PR, since we released Herve Tonye-Tonye

Classy coach adding a classy player.

LOL

[Arnold_Palmer]

He's a dirty player, he's racist, he hasn't played in the CFL since 2014.. Keep them coming Jones!

[holoman]

Credit Jones....He either is getting talking about the Riders, or everybody (Bombers included) not focusing on the game this Sunday

[Noeller]

this is just the best news ever.....

[do or die]

Jones the ace recruiter...loading up on idiocy, at any rate.  Or brilliant deflection tactic.  Or has no plan, period.

Riders appear to be looking into every nook and cranny and turning over rocks to come up with Mitchell...I'm sure the rider faithful are really enthused about this signing as it buoys so well for the future...Corky and company scraping bottom and now looking for a bigger shovel...lol...Great signing.

The Saskatchewan team ought to change their name to "Riders, Barnum and Bailey".
