Re: Lions sign Christian Covington

Maybe they asked him to take a pay c...

Re: Lions sign Christian Covington
For all those lamenting the lack of beef in the middle (I think @David may have been chairman of the Where's the Beef Club :wink: ) your prayers have been answered. Ha! I think it is David but I'm certainly a chartered member. The defying moment for me last season was the the Bombers running Olivei...

Lions sign Christian Covington
Whoa! Maybe this doesn’t happen if Betts re-signed and didn’t head down south. The D-line talent is certainly stacked.

Re: 2024 CFL draft (Lion's picks)
Are we ever overdue to develop our own all-star calibre o-lineman. Instead we have relied on B.C. boys and Bomber developed Chungh and Couture to upgrade. Although some would argue they were just fine with Godber who at least panned out as a high draft pick. Other than Godber it’s been Steward, Fabi...

Re: NFL road rocky for Rourke after Patriots draft QB
It just got rockier. NE took a 2nd QB in the 6th round with Joe Milton III of Tennessee. They have 5 in the room now. Talking heads in NFL Network are speculating that Zappe will be traded. There could be a market for a team thinking of him as a #2 over their incumbents. Damn and I thought it was h...

Re: NFL road rocky for Rourke after Patriots draft QB
I recall Farhan saying how Rourke’s stock will drop as each NFL Draft passes and more college QBs enter the picture. Hardly a bold statement but last night we saw 6 QBs selected among the top 12 picks. More will be taken over the next couple days and all will be considered greater investments than a...

Lions, Bombers and Ti-Cats fined for exceeding salary cap
I thought we would have been in pretty good shape in regards to the cap given they cut Lemon to sign Jonathan Kongbo then abruptly traded him and his $123,000 contract to Hamilton for a draft pick albeit he did receive a $20,000 signing bonus from BC. Maybe too many players hit their performance bon...

Horrific kickoff collision has likely ended Hinsperger’s career
Great and sad read here on Lions rookie linebacker Lions’ rookie LB Jack Hinsperger and how the horrific collision with Peyton Logan has in all likelihood ended his football career. All seemed well at the time when he was able to walk off the field. Logan apparently fractured a vertebrae in his neck...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
Great to see Shawn Lemon go out on his own terms albeit surprisingly after signing an extension with the Als back in December. It makes Montreal an even more logical landing spot for Betts if it doesn’t work out in Detroit, especially with their other starting DE from last season — impressive young ...

Re: Lions' receivers
It's pretty funny all the outrage this story has generated one of the Lions fans Facebook groups given this is somewhat old news since Whitehead has been a FA since early February and is free to sign with any team. Dunk probably should have clarified the Lions top 4 receivers were all free agents an...

Re: Lions' receivers
No official announcement yet but it appears the Lions have signed another intriguing receiver prospect in Dezmon Patmon. The 6-foot-4 25-year-old was a 6th round pick by Indianapolis in the 2000 NFL Draft after a couple of productive seasons at Washington State. Was Gardner Minshew's favourite targe...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
3 Down Nation provide some insight from McElvoy and Campbell on their big free agent offer to Brady Oliveira and how the consolation prize was at least driving up the price for the Bombers. Would have been interesting to see what their roster would look like had he signed here for that price given i...

Re: 2024 B.C. Lions Schedule
Looking at the schedule Lions have a tough first 5 games. Opening in Toronto will not be easy and it will also be important imo to beat Winnipeg in Week 3. Reality is every game will be a dog fight. Shaping up to be a good season though with all teams fairly equal. They deserve a TON of credit for ...

Re: Lions' receivers
Farhan offered some info on the receiver salaries back in January but as you suggested no word if this includes all bonus incentives reached. #BCLions asked Rhymes to restructure his deal, he declined, knowing there will be interest in #CFLFA Hollins deal pays 220 & 230k. Hatcher will make 220 &...

Re: Rourke now a NE Patriot
So, likely - vet journeyman Brissett (with way more losses than wins as an NFL starter) gets #1 to mentor and be a stop-gap till the 1st round draft pick is "ready" (hope they don't draft another Ryan Leaf). Leaving Nathan to battle it out with Zappe for #3 / PR guy? Not sure I like Rourk...
