My guess is that once the Lions signed Covington they then asked Menard to take a pay cut and he refused, thinking he could get the same or better $ on the open market. Time will tell. Very good possibility. I saw that BC had also releases Lawrence Woods III. He has now resurfaced with his former t...

I feel badly for Rourke. Probablly has more talent than half the starters in the NFL (he engineered 5 TD drives on 9 drives in preseason for the Jags). I believe he was given bad advice, going into a situation with Trevor Lawrence as the franchise QB and Beathard the established #2 (it probably sho...

Seeing again nothing new with honoring player contracts from the team perspective with several players released across the league despite having a deal in place. Chandler Worthy and David Menard among them. For a guy like Menard who may have been influenced by a two year deal at age 32 and then aft...

Patriots waive Rourke : https://3downnation.com/2024/05/06/new-england-patriots-waive-canadian-qb-nathan-rourke/ Well, it will be interesting to see if he clears waivers. If he does, then likely he will be released. Can't see too much interest this soon after the draft has been completed. If he run...

So much for the Chase Claypool to the CFL speculation and nice to hear he has signed a one year deal with the Bills. Hoping it is a good situation for him and he gets his career back on track with a strong year. I think that was "Lords of Flatlands" aka rectangular province induced specul...

I don't know if there's something going on with Riley Pickett but BC just signed long-time veteran NFL LS Kyle Nelson. Maybe it's just a favour for Kyle's old man Mark who was on Campbell's staff in Ottawa from 2014 thru 2019 and guest coached in Kamloops in 2022. https://3downnation.com/2024/05/02...

Neil McEvoy admitted to J.J. Adams today that Menard was a cap casualty due to the signing of Covington. He said Stove Richardson approached the Lions about a month ago and said he didn’t think he was ready to return, so he retired “for now.” It sounds like the door is still open to him, as well as...

Wow! The Lions have also released David Menard. One step forward with the signing of Covington and two steps back with the release of Richardson and Menard. I suspect these moves are cap related. Cap would be a big factor but I think overall the quantity and quality of talent across the DL is just ...

- Whatever happened with Woody Baron. All-star season then cut just prior to the free agency window opening and still unsigned. Like Lucky Whitehead and Janarion Grant just part of the 30 and over club deemed too expensive at this stage of their careers even with gas still left in the tank? Those a...

This is a huge signing, and I’m not referring to Covington’s size and strength. As others have said, he and Stove Richardson can be difference-makers in the middle if they’re healthy and in game shape. Having national status as a local product from Vancouver College bolsters the CFL’s deepest natio...

Whoa! Maybe this doesn’t happen if Betts re-signed and didn’t head down south. The D-line talent is certainly stacked. https://www.bclions.com/2024/05/01/covington-comes-home-lions-land-veteran-defensive-lineman/ At 30 hopefully he still has some gas left in the tank and doesn't return with the NFL...

Really nice pick where they got him IMO - all-star D-half with some superb testing #s - might be able to challenge for starting safety soon if they try him there. Provides depth there for sure. I expect Greene will be starting S this year. Likely with his experience now and looked pretty decent las...
