Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

3:10 p.m. EST — It isn’t easy being a veteran American pass rusher these days. Shawn Oakman, Dylan Wynn, Almondo Sewell, A.C. Leonard, Ja’Gared Davis and Woody Baron are all unsigned as we head into hour three.

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Yeah Nic Marshall had gone off script numerous times and got burned more often than not. So Betts could just marginally beat CFL money unless he's on the 53 man roster. If he's the type who wants the dream and can handle the pressures of that it makes sense for him. Clearly he had no interest in bei...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Sad to the Lions unable to keep Jalen Edwards-Cooper who replaces gun toting Nic Marshall who assumably is tied up for the next while back home in Georgia. Three potential game changing signings in the West: 1." 1:33 p.m. EST — After scoring their first return touchdown in eons at the end of th...

3 Down on Betts: Detroit Lions sign CFL’s Most Outstanding Defensive Player, Canadian DL Mathieu Betts By Justin Dunk -February 13, 2024 The B.C. Lions and Hamilton Tiger-Cats had lucrative offers — around $300,000 — on the table for Betts who could have become the CFL’s highest-paid defensive playe...

Re: 2023-24 NFL/Seahawks Season Thread

The stats on Mahomes after 114 games compared to Brady at this stage are setting up nicely to have this comparison going on for Mahomes' entire career. Some of the defensive pass protection by the Chiefs was as good as it gets in football with knockdowns that weren't questioned as possible PI calls....

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Naylor and Lalji on winners todate in FA with Farhan suggesting the lack of Hamilton re-signing a lot of their team is the Betts pursuit so maybe if Betts weren't NFL bound, BC might still have lost :

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

I'd trust Farhan to get the inside scoop that if he knows, the BC Lions must have known too. Here's the 2024 Detroit Lions Futures Contract signings to date and what it means at the end: https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2024/1/30/24056125/detroit-lions-sign-11-players-futures-contracts-2024-offseason ...

Re: Thoughts on getting Stanback?

I like the signing of Stanback but I don't like the lack of structure in the BC run game (if you could actually call it a run game). He's a great runner healthy and gets big yards from not just one type of run play. I just think that BC needs to look at what the top teams in the CFL like the Bombers...

Re: Woody Baron & Quincy Mauger released

If BC does something at QB I'd be excited if it were to be Dolegala or Locksley.

Re: Woody Baron & Quincy Mauger released

Jackson Jeffcoat retires. Surprised that no one was interested in him despite injuries over the years. He played 14 last year. I assume he wanted to be back with WPG or retire as his options given he's not waiting any longer to see if there is other interest before that decision. Even though he's ha...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

And Montreal did just that to flip their DT ratio. They released Sewell and have agreed to terms with Calgary's Derek Wiggan. That was quick and he has big shoes to fill. The Alouettes released veteran American defensive tackle Almondo Sewell earlier on Thursday, signalling a potential ratio shift ...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Also noted is where BC sits at QB with VA, Chase Brice and Dominique Davis. Only QBs on the board are Dakota Prukop WPG, Kai Locksley (HAM) and Nick Arbuckle (OTT). If BC is interested the first two look better picks than Arbuckle who is kind of like the unpredictable Dane Evans and both were inexp...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

A CFL overview of where things stand just before Free Agency: I hadn't noticed the Elks have come to terms with Javon Leake - that might have been the better guy for BC to go after as he just doesnt' want to return kicks, he wants more offensive plays. Also noted is where BC sits at QB with VA, Chas...
