With the potential of losing the likes of Murphy to the NFL, Greene may be worth a look in orange. :yes:

It seems that the Riders are still dumping salaries to accomodate the cap.

No. We don't need the Rider's 38 year old cast-offs.

His age is giong to limit him getting picked up. He also has shown some decline in the past two seasons.

IF - the guy is still pretty healthy / ready to play - he'd be a good pick-up for some CFL team - somebody in need of an upgrade at guard who could stand even a one year shot to help out there - maybe a team with a good chance to add vets for a run at a GC repeat shot. :sleep:

More likely a desperate Argos team needing to have some NI talent.

Yeah - the Argos might be good candiates - they should be desperate for O-line help period IMO; but as far as the NI/import aspect of their O-line - veteran NIs StJohn and Folk might be considered average to solid; the 3 imports the Argos employ on the O-line would be average at best to more like mediocre as CFL O-linemen. Room for upgrades all around on that line.

Depends what you mean by "orange". Orange jersey? Perhaps. Skin tight orange pants, however, should NEVER be worn by 320 pound men, regardless of circumstances. :wink: (Did I mention that I don't really dig the orange pant part of our road look?)

More concerning is the amount of times you have stated that Lionut. :fishing: :tease:

You may be confusing me with David Holmes, who has the same beef. Then again, maybe that says something about both David and I... :shock: :lol:
