The Lions have also confirmed the return of DB/KR Loucheiz Purifoy. It will be interesting to see where they play him. Rookies Austin Joyner, Jalon Edwards-Cooper and KiAnte Hardin all showed good potential in the secondary last year.

Arbuckle is under contract to Elks, isn't he? And has Harris indicated in the past an interest in a coaching career?

Yes at $340K including a $100K bonus the Elks already paid out.

I thought his contract ended at the end of last season. Oh well, Wrong again!!!

Never Mind.......

Farhan is reporting this morning that O'Connor may be the Lions choice for back-up....

He signed an extension with the Elks shortly after the trade there.

O'Connor signed

I think it will be at SAM linebacker or safety. Highly doubtful Cioffi will be back.

I've just been laying low. Working from home for the past 2 years has been very busy. However, I'm back and intend to post more often. Cheers

That Breaux signing is intriguing. The ex-NFLer and onetime highest paid DB in the CFL coming out of retirement and a two-year layoff at age 32.

Signing Delvin Breaux is a shocker as I assumed he would return to TiCats. DC Ryan Phillips has now got himself quite a Defensive Backfield.

Woody Baron is an under-the-radar signing at defensive tackle. He's undersized at 6 ft. 1 and 270 lbs. but had 6 sacks in Montreal last year.

JC Abbott projects the Lions' starting back 8 as follows:



That veteran-heavy back end leaves out second-year Lions Austin Joyner, Jalon Edwards-Cooper and Beaujour Wilson, as well as third-year American Victor Gamboa. The Lions also have Canadians Hakeem Johnson, Jamie Harry and O'Shane Samuels on the roster, and they proved last year that they can fill in when necessary.

David Menard Back in Orange. A very good rotational DL

And Mathieu Betts from Edmonton. He and Menard can rotate, opening up an American starter's position elsewhere. This is one of the most important B.C. moves of free agency.

Menard signing with BC is another surprise. With him being from Quebec and gaining Eastern Most Outstanding Canadian award as an AL, I thought he would remain an AL. Maybe Als were expecting a hometown discount and Menard wasn't agreeing.

Also, maybe Lions offered starter money + and have Menard penciled in as a starting DE?

Looks like we will be starting some Americans on our O line. Going to be a very interesting competitive camp. !ots of talent to build a team.
