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 &...

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...

So this confirms it’s Rourke and Zappe battling out for #3?

Scratch Mac Jones.from the New England equation. Patriots are reportedly trading him to of all places.....drum roll.... Jacksonville, for a 2024 6th round pick. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39699526/sources-patriots-trade-qb-mac-jones-jaguars Damn so all season long we heard Doug Pederson sa...

Great man and coach. A defensive mastermind who returned to BC to help his good friend Wally as DC culminating with the Grey Cup in 2006. Remember his Monday night coach’s show with JP McConnell and Dave’s wife was a regular caller.

Thinking Jake Harty is going to see more offensive reps for the Lions than some might be expecting as well mostly for his blocking ability. Kind of a smaller version of David Mackie. Re-watching the Grey Cup he had a good game that day for the Als. Would love to see Maksymic implement a "smash...

Looking far more likely that Rourke won't get a futures offer from New England. I read an article today on ESPN that said the Pats are not considering trading down an taking a QB later. They are expected to go with whoever the Bears and Commanders pass on out of Williams, Daniels and Maye. All 3 ar...

I initially thought the door was still slightly open for Lucky’s return but began to realize he would have to shave at least $50,000 off his $170,000 2023 salary. Unless it was loaded with performance incentives, how would anyone do at their job working for the same employer after taking a significa...

Very sad news and far too young. Tough time for the Bighill family as well with Craig and Adam being close with their time together in BC and Winnipeg.

Lions not messing around with VA's future as he was going to head into the final year of his contract. Probably a decent pay raise on his $340,000 base. https://3downnation.com/2024/02/21/b-c-lions-sign-qb-vernon-adams-jr-to-contract-extension-through-2026/ Interesting to see this morning as I was t...

With Tim White re-signing with Hamilton on Sunday, Tevin Jones is the only American receiver so far since the free agency window opened to sign with another team. It leaves a glut of veteran American receivers still on the market with many of them having been injury prone or underperformed to see th...

The 2024 market for receivers is set, Schoen, Hollins and Hatcher all signed for $220,000 to $230,000. Rhymes signed for less. White is good but he isn’t worth a lot more than the other FAs. Definitely a subtle market correction is unfolding after the Elks threw ridiculous receiver money ($300,000+...

A bit surprising the 1 year deals as typically since McEvoy and Campbell have been involved it's almost like the 2 year deal is team standard but I guess that's only when extending their own. And they certainly have made 2-year agreements with recent FAs including McInnis and Couture a year ago. Ma...

And the Lions address their secondary by signing halfback Ciante Evans on yet another one-year contract.

https://www.bclions.com/2024/02/14/lion ... secondary/

All in all a pretty impressive haul the last 24 hours addressing various needs.

Wonder if the Robertson signing is all the Lions will do for the defensive line with Nathan Cherry, Stove Richardson or possibly others pencilled in to replace Baron on the inside. Or do they continue the 1-year signing theme with FAs and hope Sewell has one solid season left in his tank to add more...
