Re: Lions signings for 2020

Curious about whether guys like Ronnie Yell and Tristan Okpalaugo just fell off the cliff and are done. Both missed last year but were very good the year before. Okpalaugo worth a look imo. Victor Butler was another. Sometimes there are other things happening as well. Also want to make a comment abo...

Re: Which Impeding BC Free Agent Defensive Player are Lions Most Likely to Sign

[List of all-star MLBs the Lions have lost to other teams: 1) Barrin Simpson 2) Solomon Elimimian 3) Adam Bighill Our defence is always weaker for it. [/quote] Looks like Winnipeg knows a good thing when they see it. Bomber fans were shouting from the roof tops to sign Sol E and reunite team 100 las...

Re: Which Impeding BC Free Agent Defensive Player are Lions Most Likely to Sign

Good assessment of the situation. We'll see how it plays out. I'm going to say there already is a credibility issue related to some of the two year deals handed out only to be cut the following year. Chris Randle, one of a few that have had that experience. Particularly when it is the GM who signed ...

Re: Which Impeding BC Free Agent Defensive Player are Lions Most Likely to Sign

Agree with your comments regarding Elimimian. Possibly there was a hope / expectation for more of an increase to the cap at the time they signed Mike Reilly that limited their options on 56. Being as it dragged on for most of the off season it doesn't seem as if it was an easy decision on what to do...

Re: Which Impeding BC Free Agent Defensive Player are Lions Most Likely to Sign

Not sure if the bridge was burnt with no return but Sol Elimimian was one of the best deals in the league last year. Hard to think Ed passed on $160,000 as was rumored to be the number he signed in Sask for. Derek Taylor had him listed as only missing something like 8 tackles all year. Would love to...

Re: Will Lions Overhaul the roster for 3rd year in a Row

Roster overhauls are the new norm with the one year deals . Every team going through the same thing.

Not really a good thing for anyone other than the players imo.

Made a post about Sukh Chung. Hopefully I didn't lose it.

Re: Which Key Player should be Lions Top Priority to Sign Before Free Agency

I agree on that one maxlion. The key to the safety position is having the roster flexibility to use an International at the spot. Dozier played well and he probably could play the cover linebacker position as well if they needed him there. One guy who I haven't seen talked about is Sukh Chung and I ...

Re: Introduce yourselves

Greetings once again Lionbackers. Formerly posted as doncorleone but had trouble logging on so went back through the process. Maybe Rick Campbell getting rid of fans who cheered for DC89, whom I hopes resurfaces once again and proves he is legit. Not sure where that would be though. I'm a CFL fan at...
