Whoa! According to Farhan the Lions offered Oliveira a three-year escalating deal starting at $250,000 and it took Bombers president Wade Miller’s involvement to ultimately keep him in Winnipeg. That must have been money allocated for Betts right? Gotta think so. Can't imagine them being able to ke...

We have reportedly loss our first free agent. Good for Jalen as I don't think the Lions were going to match that number. Dan Ralph CP: Wow, now hearing that DB Jalon Edwards-Cooper has agreed in principle to a one-year deal with Saskatchewan worth $128,000 in hard money. That makes him one of the h...

If the Lions lost a bidding war for Oliveira, they should have more money in the pot to retain their own FAs. I doubt that Stanback cost more than $125,000. That seems to be the going rate for established American RBs.

The Lions have confirmed that Stanback signed a 1-year contract.

Keep in mind that players can't officially accept any offers except from their own club during the communication window. Beginning Feb. 11, teams have 48 hours to review all offers made to their pending free agents and to make their own offers. The earliest a player can accept any offer from another...

$230,000 per with $120,000 up front is a sweet deal for Jermarcus Hardrick and obviously one he did not turn down. I think the Bombers push Neufeld out to Tackle to replace him. That's a pretty nice deal for a guy who was cut by Jeff Tedford in offseason workouts in his CFL rookie debut with the Li...

Going by CFL.ca transactions it appears Gary Peters may have been released. I see no re-addition to the roster. Hmmmm Peters, TJ Lee and Vernon Adams all renegotiated last week but the CFL listed their deletions and additions in reverse order. Their old contracts were deleted and new ones added on ...

Not sure what kind of market there could be for a #2 with Streveler signing for $120,000. Shiltz or Cornelius would be a good additions. Shiltz may be a bit more accurate, Cornelius may have more upside. Either one at $120,000 would be a great deal. Either one should be in that range. I think Shilt...

Probably can expect first 4 on the road and a bye mixed in the middle, maybe even 2 byes. Argos will be in the same boat.

Yes, unless the Lions want to schedule the preseason game and one early regular season game in Victoria. I just hope they don’t move training camp to the Island as well.

The 2026 World Cup schedule has been released, with five group matches scheduled for B.C. Place between June 13 and 26, as well as one in the round of 32 on July 2 and one in the round of 16 on July 9. Depending on how long it would take to convert B.C. Place from soccer to football, the Lions could...

David Knevel has signed a one-year extension. The Lions have been busy on the eve of the legal tampering window. I've always liked Knevel. He’s the biggest player on the team, and is always friendly to talk to, despite some hard luck with injuries that hurt his opportunities to become a full-time st...

I certainly remember his tenure with the Lions, as I had seasons tickets at the time. He always seemed to be proud of his time here whenever it was brought up, especially when he returned to town to film Rocky IV and other movies.

The Lions have just announced that Marcus Sayles has signed a two-year extension through 2025.

Looking at the CFL transactions list, it appears that Vernon Adams, Garry Peters and TJ Lee have all renegotiated.

Chris Streveler has reportedly signed a one-year contract in Winnipeg for $120,000, so he is off the market.
