Re: 2024 CFL draft (Lion's picks)
The CFL changed its format for the 2 bonus picks at the end of the 2nd round. Previously they went to the two teams with the worst record. They were awarded with a territorial pick that could only be used on a player domiciled in the drafting team's territory as per CFL Bylaws and Constitution. This...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
The only thing, I think the Lions have to do this year is to be able to run effectively Get your Stanback jersey now. He's coming in with a chip on his shoulder imo. Lol. I'm a bit jaded on buying those jerseys. The only one I have aside from 3 game jerseys is my classic Merv jersey as seen in my a...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
I was pretty much expecting a new extension and raise for VA. He should be considered in the top third of CFL starters but was on a pay scale that put him in the bottom third. Now is the time to bump him up and nice work to lock him up for two additional years after this coming season.

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
A mild aside here while we're talking about BCFC (it is the off-season after all). Do our 50/50 sales at Lions games go to this league, high school football, or the BCPFA (or some combination of all minor and amateur football in BC)? More from a standpoint of curiosity. I don't really care, just as...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
I knew about Harris returning to the junior ranks and believe it has already increased an awareness of the team and league across the country. I will follow as best possible just out of curiosity. Without looking I presently know of no other teams in the league. Raiders are one of 7 clubs in the BC...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
Manny needs to take his "make the whole team better" attitude to U Sports and make the whole league better. Would be a good way for the legacy to live on. Same situation as Andrew Harris. Harris will be taking his attitude back to his old alma mater the CJFL Vancouver Island Raiders as Di...

Re: Lions' receivers
Way is a big body with a big catch radius. His NFL scouting report listed him at 6'3-1/2" with a 6'7-1/2" wingspan. Strengths were size, strong on coming up with 50/50 balls, uses frame well to block out receivers and very competitive. If he can get his hands on the ball he usually comes d...

Re: Lions' receivers
I thought they still had Josh Pearson who impressed in 2022 TC and hauled in something like a 66 yard bomb vs Winnipeg in his second regular season game before blowing a knee later in the game. But I see he's no longer on the roster. If there's one area I have extreme confidence in Rigmaiden's group...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
I think Manny needs the same sort of situation he had in Edmonton if he's going to play this year. He needs to find a team lacking depth at receiver with mostly young inexperienced receivers where his leadership skills provide more value than his diminishing abilities.

Re: Thoughts on getting Stanback?
Is it just me or are others having trouble connecting to the site at times? Yes, keeps asking me to log in or register. Having to log in constantly has been an issue on my Samsung A71 phone for several months. Seems whenever I close Lionbackers I have to log in next time I open it. When I fill in m...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
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...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
*sigh* What percentage of guys who leave the CFL over the span of time you're pulling players from actually make an impact? They're exceptions to the rule for a reason. This discussion is tiresome. The stats favor me. You and OV jump on here with what abouts. SOL E won two CFL DPOY awards and could...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
And the Lions address their secondary by signing halfback Ciante Evans on yet another one-year contract. https://www.bclions.com/2024/02/14/lions-add-two-time-division-all-star-ciante-evans-to-secondary/ All in all a pretty impressive haul the last 24 hours addressing various needs.

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
Looks like Jake Dolegala is set to be the #2 QB.

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
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 mor...
